“I am The Iron Man!”Inspired  by  the  movie  “Kick-­‐Ass”  (2010),  I  bought  the  Iron  Man  Helmet  and  Power  Arm  at  ToysRus,  “a_acking”  people  at  the  shopping  mall  in  order  to  entertain  the  people.  

I  found  that  most  people  are  actually  very  lovely!  These  “strangers”  interact  with  you,  and  some  even  play  with  you!  

I  feel  some3mes  we  do  something  not  just  for  money,  but  for  fun—  happiness.  This  is  the  joy

that  you  cannot  buy  with  money.  I  really  enjoy  this  kind  of  happiness.  

As  the  introduc3on  I  put  on  YouTube...

"IRON  MAN  2.0  Thunderstruck"  movie  trailer  has  been  released,  coming  with  4  Episodes  played  on  Mondays  in  June.  Please  sit  back,  relax,  and  enjoy  it  to  keep  your  Monday  blues  away.”

To  my  surprise,  the  video  was  wide  spread  and  shared.  People  started  talking  about  it,  and  it  even  became  one  of  the  most  popular  videos  among  that  month  on  YouTube.  

Then  journalists  started  calling  on  me,  invi3ng  me  (and  my  friend,  who  is  the  camera  guy)  for  further  report.  I  took  the  AppleDaily’s  (the  biggest  news  company  in  Taiwan)  invita3on.

I  then  broadcasted  my  idea  on  air:

“The  reason  why  I  did  this  is  because  I  want  to  let  people  know  that  everybody  can  make  a  difference!  

It  doesn’t  ma_er  if  you  have  superpowers  or  not,  everybody  can  be  his  or  her  own  hero.  We  all  have  the  magic  to  make  people  happy.  And  making  people  happy  will  benefit  you  to  be  a  more  happier  person!”

“The Nerd Buster!”

Filmed  in  2005,  awarded  as  the  Winner  and  the  Best  Audience’s  SelecOon  in  Campus  Movie  Clip  Compe33on,  NCU.

It  was  a  process  of  brainstorming.  We  had  tried  many  different  plots,  but  none  of  them  were  the  movie  we  really  want  to  make.  Eventually,  we  narrowed  down  some  elements  we  wanted,  i.e.  Campus  life,  Comedy,  Secret  Agent,  Otaku  (Nerd  in  Japanese),  and  Love.  So,  we  mixed  up  these  factors  together  and  made  this  film.

Since  our  team  was  small,  everyone  has  to  work  3ghter  on  details.  Though  hard  work,  we  are  very  sa3sfied  with  the  outcome.  

STORY: Wayne  is  a  Super  Nerdy  college  student.  He  made  a  wish  in  front  of  his  best  friends  on  his  birthday:  he  really  wants  to  have  a  GIRLFRIEND!

Decided  to  take  this  Mission,  his  buddies    form  a  secret  team  to  help  Wayne.  Can  the  team  and  Wayne  finally  win  the  girl’s  heart?

Actors,Actress,Director:

The  team  members  were  from  our  department.  Everyone  in  the  team  was  also  an  actor/actress.  Meanwhile,  we  all  had  to  be  director  while  others  are  ac3ng.  It  was  a  great  experience,  because  then  we  learned  not  just  about  ac3ng,  but  direc3ng    as  well.

Music: We  used  a  wide  range  of  music,  from  movie  tracks,  USA/UK  pop  songs,  Taiwan  pop  songs  to  Japanese  Anima3on  songs.  Everybody  has  their  preferred  songs,  so  we  collected  them  together,  and  choose  the  most  suitable  ones.

Edi7ng: Since  the  3me  was  very  3ght,  we  worked  on  edi3ng  in  3  shios!  During  day3me,  some  went  to  class  while  some  edited  the  movie.  At  nighpme  we  got  together  to  review  the  work.

The Three Kingdoms

In  the  ancient  Chinese  History,  from  A.D.  208  -­‐  280,  with  the  declining  of  Han  Dynasty,  new  heroes  rising  to  compete  and  trying  to  replace  it.  Ba_les,  poli3cal  tricks,  new  weapons  and  technologies  were  thus  created  to  win  the  game.  Three  major  forces  built  “The  Three  Kingdoms”,  compe3ng  to  win  over  the  whole  China  territory....

2  -­‐  4  players,  select  one  of  the  Three  Kingdoms,  or  the  Neutral  Force.  These  ancient  characters  of  the  kingdom  will  become  the  players’  cards.  Players  then  lead  the  Generals,  Warriors,  Soldiers  to  defeat  the  other  armies  with  force,  or  control  the  Think  Tanks,  Military  Advisers,  Poli3cians  to  nego3ate,  trade,  ally  with  other  players.

STORY: PLAYERS:

Check out the Rule here!

Created  in  the  military,  I  designed  the  idea  of  the  card  game,  and  then  two  of  my  buddies  joined  the  team.  The  prototype  was  drawn  with  pen  on  scratch  papers,  and  aoer  few  tests,  friends  from  other  squads  wanted  to  play  the  game  too.

We  then  had  to  start  “mass-­‐producing”  our  cards.  Since  there  are  only  three  members  in  the  team,  I  was  responsible  for  crea3ng  new  cards  (new  characters,  new  items,  and  new  skills).  Another  friend  was  in  charge  of  reviewing  my  new  cards  and  balancing  the  numbers.  Once  approved  by  the  two  of  us,  our  other  friend  will  start  drawing  pictures,  making  the  cards  more  vivid.We  had  a  great  3me  crea3ng  the  game.  And  we  

• The Prototype of the cards, drawn on scratch papers

had  to  split  our  3me:  50%  to  teach  new  players  how  to  play,  50%  for  crea3ng  new  cards.  We  were  so  excited  playing  with  other  people  that  we  even  held  a  compe33on,  where  only  the  best  team  can  challenge  us,  the  designers.

Aoer  went  back  to  workplaces.  To  a_ract  more  people,  I  upgraded  the  look  of  the  cards,  adding  new  elements  like  the  “APributes”  of  the  unit  and  the  “The  Soldiers”  system  to  be  more  strategic.Aoer  tested  with  my  friends;  they  loved  it  and  joined  the  team  to  help.  Once  I  introduced  the  game  to  the  new  friends  I  just  met,  they  were  impressed  and  obsessed.  They  asked  me  to  send  them  a  copy  so  they  can  play  in  Taipei  (another  city),  and  established  a  fans’  club  to  keep  developing  the  game.

-­‐  A$ributes:  Each  card  has  an  a_ribute  of  the  unit.  There  are  four  a_ributes:  Infantry,  Knight,  Pikeman,  and  Archer.  (See  image  on  the  leo)  Infantry  to  Pikeman,  Pikeman  to  Knight,  Knight  to  Infantry  gain  extra  2  points  while  a_acking.  Archer  a_acks  from  distance.  Infantry,  Knight,  and  Pikeman  gain  extra  2  points  while  a_acking  Archer.  

-­‐  The  King:There  might  be  several  characters  with  the  “King  Hat”  symbol.  Choose  one  character  with  the  King  Hat  to  be  the  king.  Once  your  king  is  defeated,  you  will  lose  the  game  immediately.

-­‐  The  Dice:While  performing  the  Skills  of  characters,  throw  the  dice  to  decide  if  it  is  performing  successfully.  The  characters  ability  is  numbered  from  0  -­‐  10,  the  higher     number,  the  be_er  chance  to  succeed.  

• The Draft of the Game Rule

-­‐  The  Soldiers:To  summon  each  character,  players  need  to  assign  required  Soldiers  for  the  character  to  lead,  from  10  -­‐  100  thousands  soldiers.Mostly,  the  stronger  the  character  is,  the  more  Soldiers  he/she  requires.

-­‐  The  Forma;on:Simula3ng  ancient  Chinese  ba_le  forma3on:  a  3  (Central  army,  Leo  army,  Right  army)  x  2  (Front  line,  Back  line).  The  king  (Main  camp)  is  on  the  back  of  the  ba_lefield.  Cards  are  placed  covered.

“My Childhood Adventure...”In  memory  of  my  Grandma,  I  created  this  RPG  in  2007  with  the  sooware  RPG  maker  2003.  

Beginning  with  my  elementary  school  age,  you  will  choose  the  adventure  team  members  from  my  schoolmates,  exploring  the  “Back  Mountain”,  Buddha  Temple,  and  The  School.  The  Danger  is  around  you  everywhere;  remember  your  avatar  is  an  elementary

school  student,  so  the  neighbor’s  doggy,  roosters,  the  mountain  trails,  snakes,  monkeys,  and  even  in  school,  you  might  fight  with  classmates,  or  other  boys  from  other  classes  or  grades.  Learning  New  Skills  from  your  Grandpa,  father,  and  the  schoolteachers  will  help  you  to  survive!

Also,  a  Fusion  of  true  story  and  imaginary  world,  your  father  is  a  stray  hero,  your  grandpa  a  re3red  king,  and            the  neighboring  schools  are  other  Kingdoms.  Based                            on  true  stories,  an  imaginary  adventure  begins...

• Programming / Coding

-­‐  Programming:This  is  the  first  3me  I  feel  like  I  am  a  programmer.  In  order  to  create  the  events  as  similar  as  my  childhood,  I  spent  lots  of  3me  studying  the  manual,  collec3ng  informa3on  online,  and  consul3ng  people  in  forums.Also,  to  make  the  game  more  “playable”,  many  variables  and  sepngs  are  needed  to  create  diverse  events.  Triggering  different  events  and  making  different  choices  will  lead  to  a  different  story.

-­‐  Music:I  didn’t  actually  create  the  music,  but  I  searched  for  suitable,  authorized  materials  online,  and  then  edited  or  remixed  them  for  the  game.

-­‐  Characters:Based  on  true  people,  I  transformed  their  personal  images  into  suitable  but  imaginary  roles  in  the  game.  For  example,  my  athlete  friend  learning  “Tae  Kwon  Do”  will  be  my  reliable  partner  as  a  Warrior,  and  my  nerdy  friend  who  is  good  at  natural  science  will  be  the  Wizard,  performing  magic  (science)  where  he  can  a_ain  new  advanced  magic  by  learning  from  the  Wizard  Master  (our  science  teacher)!

-­‐  Maps:This  is  another  fun  part  while  crea3ng  the  game.  In  fact,  I  not  only  recalled  from  my  memory,  but  also  consulted  my  dad,  my  brother,  and  my  elementary  classmates  to  rebuild  the  scenes  loyally  in  our  childhood.
