Astonish Must Shine

ASTONISH MUST SHINE ✦ MADE TO MOVE

I was inspired by @emi.fls_ s typographic figures, and I wanted to explore my own version and make it playable.

Every word on his body is a phrase that means something to me. They’re my creed, the one I live by now:
Astonish must shine.
Made to move, because a moving man will always find his luck.

So I built him in Rive as an interactive experiment. He walks, runs, boxes, dances, jumps and shines. Every move has its own music, and you can play him with a controller, a keyboard or a gamepad.

I’m proud of how this turned out. This is what storytelling and world-building are about: putting what you believe into something people can play with.
