Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 13 13. Those who do it quickly are generally not very good

It took less than 3 months for the game "Onmyoji" from project approval to production. Even if it is placed in the future king of the Chinese game industry, it is an incredible thing.

Under normal circumstances, the production cycle of a game will be about half a year to a year, and there are even games like Red Dead Redemption 2 that have been sharpened for ten years.

"Onmyoji" can be developed quickly, mainly due to several reasons:
One is that the planning case is well done, under the control of Qingzhiyuan, all planning requirements are basically quickly finalized and then given to the program, and there is almost no rework.

The second is to have the foundation of "Heart of the Sword", which saves a lot of development time for the underlying program logic.

The most time-consuming part is actually the art part, because every character has to be redesigned.

However, in Qing Zhiyuan's view, paying attention to quality must be rewarded.

……

Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo
7 pm.

quintessence
Among the very famous French restaurants in the Tokyo area.

"cheers!!!"

Nao Tsuda raised the goblet in his hand and said loudly happily.

"cheers!"

Several people echoed at the same time.

Everyone flushed and drank the red wine in the glass.

Today's Nao Tsuda changed from the simple and capable style of the past, wearing a deep V black evening dress. The two slender shoulder straps highlighted the clear clavicle, the slender neck, and the close-fitting long skirt made her S-shaped The curves are perfectly drawn.

Especially the chest, it was like a huge black hole, sucking the eyes of the people around it into it.

Sitting on her left is Qing Zhiyuan, who is also dressed like a dog, wearing a white suit and having her hair done very delicately.

On the opposite side sat three middle-aged men with slightly fatter bodies.

Although these few look ugly, they even look a little like "fat uncles", but they are very famous game cassette dealers in the Tokyo area.

Pokeni has signed the overlord clause with Nintendo (every time a cassette is burnt, it has to pay Nintendo a royalty of 2000 yen), and has passed the review and classification, and has obtained a label of 16+.

So after the production of "Onmyoji" is completed, it is already in the stage of loading the bullets.

The next sale is a matter of course.

In 1990, even if there was Internet in the world, it was not popularized, let alone the so-called [online download].

Not even the concept of online and offline.

At this time, game sales mainly rely on physical stores, which are so-called distributors.

There are several large national distributors, and each region also has its own main distributors. Under normal circumstances, these people will pick up the goods from the manufacturers, and then transfer them to distributors for sales. In the end, it will become There are physical game stores one by one.

DUN has its own sales channels, but they used to be audio-visual stores, and now they can sell to a certain extent through these channels, but the effect is definitely far inferior to that of game stores.

So Tsuda Nao made a special appointment for a dinner, took Qing Zhiyuan together, and invited several important distributor presidents in Tokyo to dinner.

"Ah~ pokeni, I haven't heard of this company, and I don't know if it's good, but since President Tsuda is the guarantee, let's pre-order 300 sets and try it out."

The bald middle-aged man sitting in the middle said with a smile, he glanced down at the beautifully packaged cassette sample in his hand, and blinked twice.

To be honest, the cover attached to the cassette is pretty nice.

Just don't know what the actual game content is like.

If it wasn't for Tsuda's face today, he wouldn't have come to this kind of dinner at all.

I have never heard of pokeni, and I must have never made any great games before.

"No, no," Tsuda Nao pretended to be angry and puffed his cheeks, staring at the other party, "President Hattori, you are too petty, do I only give you 300 sets as a guarantee? Then I won't dare to look for you again. Yo."

"Haha, if that's the case, let's add another 500. I'm going to try it first. If the sales are really as good as Nao-chan said, then it doesn't matter if I order ten times more."

Qing Zhiyuan next to him frowned.

hateful!

Look down on people less.

……

at the same time.

"Nani?! Is the pokeni game so fast?"

When he heard the news that Pokeni's "Onmyoji" was about to be released, Bluwins' president Shigeru Kobayashi couldn't sit still.

Games are a circle, especially in a place like Tokyo, where there are not many game companies still alive, let alone competitors like pokeni.

So when news came out, it spread very quickly.

Other people's games have already been developed and will be sold soon.

It's only been a few months?
On the other hand, Mizutani's new script outline has just been finalized.

I only made a few character designs. I tried a few versions of different styles for the original painting, but I haven't been able to finalize it yet.

The only gratifying thing is that the progress of the program is still barely there, and the underlying framework is almost ready.

Didn't Mizutani say that a good game needs to be polished for a year or so?
Even Hideo Aoyama, the main artist who has just been invited to make the original painting settings for this game, is also saying this, but how come others have already finished it when we are just getting started?
In fact, Mizutani himself didn't quite understand.

He has seen pokeni's project proposal, and he can even say that he knows it well. It is precisely because of his full understanding of it that he can evaluate this small galgame of pokeni [not small], and it is impossible to do it so fast.

But the current progress really slaps him in the face, and he is too embarrassed to brag and approve in front of the new president.

"No problem, the release of pokeni now does not necessarily mean good results, it may be made just to make a quick buck." Hideo Aoyama said.

The president didn't really believe what they said, "However, how can I hear others say that their posters are quite beautiful, and the character settings and original paintings all reflect high quality?"

Takaya Mizutani's mouth twitched violently twice.

Originally, their progress was quite gratifying, but the president found Qingshan as the main artist halfway through, saying that he is also a very famous master of original painting in the industry, and with this person's blessing, he can get twice the result with half the effort.

In fact, having a good original painting is indeed something to be happy about, but this [Hideo Aoyama] is really a bit too arrogant.

Relying on the fact that he has made several good games before, and has a certain reputation and popularity in the industry, he is in a good mood.

Likes to point fingers at Mizutani's planning, and even feels very dissatisfied with the original pure + seductive style.

So after Aoyama intervened, the painting style of the entire game was re-imagined 180 degrees.

So far it has not been determined.

The most uncomfortable thing is that after Takaya Mizutani came to the new owner, although President Kobayashi promised to promote him as a producer, he has not been able to fulfill it until now, saying that he will wait until the project is successful before considering this matter.

Originally, Mizutani thought it didn't matter, because this blue game "Street Picking Up" didn't have an official producer. Although he was the main planner, what he actually did was the producer's work.

Being anonymous is not unacceptable.

But the problem is that without a title, Qingshan, the great Buddha, really doesn't want to listen to him, which is very depressing.

Takaya Mizutani also has some vague uneasiness about the project now.

But it's impossible for him to admit defeat. Many of the team members of the "Street Picking Up" project are people he brought out from pokeni. If they don't get better development in the new company, wouldn't it be a waste of time to jump into this slot? !

So Mizutani could only speak hard, "Games are just like men, those who can do it quickly are not very good at it.

The so-called slow work and meticulous work, everything takes time to polish.

Such is the spirit of craftsmanship.

In such a short time, I don't believe pokeni can make anything good. "

"That's right, that's right, I agree with Mizutani-kun." Aoyama next to him echoed.

Mizutani raised his head, staring blankly at the mustache in front of him.

Nani? !
This guy actually cooperates like this? !
