Drawing Game: Let’s Make A Hero

by Chris Romeo

復古的二維像素電玩，上下左右按鍵輪流切換，一不小心就把經典遊戲BGM哼了三遍。由美國藝術家Chris Romero帶來遊戲繪圖工作坊首次出擊台灣，一如往常地隨興脫力，極具玩興的橋段設計，這一切讓人心癢躁動、手癢不停。

此次工作坊，Romero將顛覆呆版的腳色創建過程，帶領大家進行一場紙上遊戲，每位參與者將會有一本「Legend Booklet」傳說小冊，透過幽默的規則指令，一群人透過不同的互動繪製、分享交流。最後，遊戲不需上線，角色的創造就變成了遊戲。期待讓久違的興奮感再次竄出！

主旨–––

以遊戲般、非常規的方式創作腳色，

學員們將以不同的「好玩怪奇」的目的、規則、挑戰及互動，

構思一組完成電動遊戲的英雄、配角、怪物等人物繪製創作，

遊戲創作過程的本身就是遊戲的目的。

工具–––

主辦單位將會為每位參與者準備有：

Romero特製「Legend Booklet」繪圖小冊、紙筆、繪筆、令人會心一笑的神祕道具 !

內容──

直到最後一刻，我們不知道這會是一個動作、冒險、格鬥還是Q感的音樂遊戲。

練習一：遊戲故事的建立

練習二：角色分類和特徵的相互關係

練習三：遊戲機制和能力值的數學題 (速度、攻擊速度、攻擊力、防禦力、生命等)

練習四：神秘道具發明 !

最後這也會一本獨立無二的遊戲腳本與一本英雄/怪獸Zine。

In role-playing games, before actually playing and meeting other players, you can spend hours creating a character. Then, once you make the character you hardly talk about your design choices, instead the guest begins. I want to subvert this by making a drawing game in which a group of people make and share characters through different activities. There is no game afterwards, the creation of the character becomes the games.

For the workshop, I would like to print and print and prepare booklets for the participants to fill out and draw in together. We will do different actions to create drawings: “exquisite corpses”,”rolling dice” and freestyle.

Chris Romero

畢業於紐約大學博物館研究。Romero將研究和藝術活動結合起來，創作跨足繪畫、獨立出版、公共活動和媒體藝術。更對於數碼、電子遊戲和插圖特別感興趣的他，創作著眼於在科技飽和的世界中發現的日常希望和焦慮；作品往往是叛逆且幽默，跨越體裁並帶有破壞，有時而是刻意的僵硬呆版。他特別活耀於各文化領域合作與交流計畫，製作不同尋常的創作。

A graduate of New York University's Museum Studies program - Chris Romero combines research and artistic activities to create paintings, zines, public happenings, and media art. His work is informed by everyday hopes and anxieties found in a technologically saturated world. He is especially interested in digital culture, videogames, and illustration. His works are often irreverent and humorous, crossing genres and disrupting the rigid notions of what art is or can be. He is especially interested in working with emerging artists, producing unusual and unconventional projects, and cultivating cross-cultural and geographic exchange.
