Travis Fishbein

Travis is a master of the bit. Be it as chiptunes style music, or old school games, pixels flow through Travis like rhythm from a master beatboxer. Once the fabled triforce adorned his front door, now the entire map of Hyrule covers the interior of his apartment, guiding his soul and reminding him of the holy trinity of power, wisdom, and courage.

Travis’ friends have sometimes wondered about his obsession with this particular part of video game culture. Combined with his love of all things Adventure Time, it is inevitable that Travis’ entire life collapses into a 8-bit waveform of quirky, imaginative, quixotic heroes, pursuing princesses who are totally capable of saving themselves and don’t actually need your damn help thank you, and dastardly but ultimately hopelessly incompetent villains.

Seeing as that sounds like a pretty cool video game already, we might just spend the entire game jam poking at Travis, waiting for the inevitable transmogrification.
