Who’s up for some video game arts and crafts time? Well then this will be right up your alley!
Matt Nava, former thatgamecompany Art Director and now the Creative Director at Giant Squid, has designed an origami Traveler from the game Journey and, best of all, drawn up a complete diagram showing fold-by-fold instructions so you too can create your very own robed desert figure out of a simple piece of paper. You can right-click download the diagram further down the page.
If you need some inspirational music to play in the background while you fold, Austin Wintory’s Transfiguration album, a collection of piano arrangements of the Journey soundtrack, is exactly what you need. It’s on sale right now through Bandcamp: $10 for the signed CD album, or $4 for the digital soundtrack. The physical album isn’t scheduled to ship until May 16th, but immediate access to download the six tracks is provided with the purchase of the CD. Austin Wintory was selling autographed copies of the Journey piano sheet music books, but those already sold out. However, he has confirmed on Twitter that he will be ordering more.
If you manage to make an origami Traveler, feel free to share a pic in the comments. I’d love to see how you did!
