My Animatic Storyboard Script

Scene 1

The main character, Kevin, along with his foil, B.O, standing in front of an alley that leading to A.CORP building and he is ready to take down Andy, the lame antagonist who is the owner of A company.

Scene 2

Kevin encounters two beefy thugs guarding at the front door of the building so in order to avoid alerting enemies, he chooses an alternative way which is through the back door.

Scene 3

The back door seems clear, but to make sure there are no enemy, Kevin instruct B.O to climb into the vent near there to scout what inside the building.

Scene 4

As he expected, there is a guy holding the cleaver standing behind the door, ready to chop everything coming through it so he tell B.O to put him into sleep.

Scene 5

Kevin opens the door, regroup with B.O and then proceed to the elevator without being seen by anyone.

Scene 6

Kevin finally reach the boss room. He bursts open the door shouting at the boss: "Alright Andy, ready to pay for your crime!" Andy not seems to be amazed, he instead respond to Kevin calmly: "Right right, you want to fight? Well not in my room. Lets go to the rooftop instead. I promise that no one in this building will interrupt our fight." His word smells fishy, but Kevin accept his offer and both proceed to the rooftop.

Scene 7

The sky looks beautiful, but the situation at the moment is not. Andy doesn't look like he is scared of an angry Kevin walking toward him. Before Kevin could draw his sword out, our antagonist says: "Hold up hold up. Did you hear that? Sounds like something is coming..."

Scene 8

It's a trap! A police helicopter appear out from nowhere and an officer points his gun toward our protagonist. "You have no shame! You tricked me!" Kevin says. Andy respond: "I didn't say no one outside the building could interrupt our fight he he." The officer opens fire at Kevin but he manages  to dodge it using his teleporting device and escape while the helicopter chasing behind him.

My Favorite Video Game

RollerCoaster Tycoon

RollerCoaster Tycoon, a 1999 construction and management simulation game published by Hasbro Interactive, is one of my favorite games. As a theme park enterpreneur, your goal in this game is to complete a series of preset scenarios by successfully building and maintaining amusement parks through business ownership.

Theme Park Setting

The main rides in the game are roller coaster with dozen of types like steel roller coaster, mountain coaster and inverted roller coaster. Also you can build a lot of different stuff from paths to food stall, resting place, haunted house, maze, ferris wheels,... There are no limitation in this game, you can even expand or change the terrain of the park in anyway you want: mountain range, big lake, dessert,... Or just mess up and kill all the guest like the guy below:

Maybe even this:

The game maybe old, but it's still one of the best game I've ever played. You can find it on Steam for $5.99.
