Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 221 125. Furuhara Chunqiu has caused Miyazaki misfortune this time! (Add 5 for the lord Jiuyue Chuxun)

"Hey~ The PV of the new pokeni game this time feels pretty average."

Masato Hiruta, the president of the Spirit Club, always felt a little unbelievable after watching the PV.

It's not that this PV is not beautiful enough.

After all, it was Hayao Miyazaki who served as the supervisor of the painting, so the quality of the art must be guaranteed, and it can be seen at a glance that it is Hayao Miyazaki's style.

And it is the preppy style drawn by Hayao Miyazaki.

This point is not easy.

Hayao Miyazaki, an old guy, has always liked to make the era before World War II. Whether it was sailor uniforms or school uniforms at that time, they were quite different from the present, with a strong atmosphere of the times.

But it is obvious that the game CL tells the story of the neon campus in the 90s.

That's why Miyazaki uses delicate brushstrokes to describe contemporary students.

In fact, it is very rare.

This shows that Hayao Miyazaki has also made a lot of efforts and worked hard for this.

But that's exactly where the problem lies.

Most of the galgames on the market, not to mention 100%, more than 90% are modern campus backgrounds.

The reason is very simple, there are probably two:
Campus, middle school and high school are basically the life stages that everyone in Neon has experienced. Using this part of the content as the background board of galgame has a strong sense of substitution.

If you design the protagonist as a pilot, or a physical scientist, the players will actually lack empathy.

Then I chose the campus because high school is the most important and beautiful time in life.

There is both youth and the unforgettable pure first love here.

Once this period has passed, no matter how many men and women there are, they will not be so pure, and they will always be contaminated with some impurities and become filthy.

It can't be said to be dirty, it can only be said that it will be rebaptized by society and become another kind of creature.

So the high school campus is the most extensive and necessary stage of life, and at the same time it is the most beautiful stage, which is why most galgames like to use this as the background.

It is too many homogeneous games that highlight the difference of pokeni.

Whether it's "Mermaid Heart" or "The Reverse Man" to the later "The Bed Man", in fact, they are more or less out of these traditional routines, which are different from other works.

Didn't expect pokeni to start to go this way now?
I don't know if Guyuan Chunqiu Jiang was exhausted, or they made this decision after considering and researching that the market is like this.

In short, Masato Hiruta felt a little disappointed after watching the PV.

This is not Guyuan Chunqiu in my mind.

The combination of Furuhara Chunqiu + Miyazaki Hayao shouldn't be at this level.

"It's too common, really, this setting doesn't mean that there are hundreds of galgames doing this, there are dozens of them." Hiruta Masato said sadly.

He had high expectations for Gu Yuan Chunqiu, but he didn't expect such a result.

"Yes," Masaki Takei, the screenwriter of the Spirit Club, echoed, "If it weren't for the blessing of Hayao Miyazaki's reputation, there is definitely no way to win the favor of players with this level of galgame promotion."

Ah~ I don’t know why, but when I saw that God also fell from the altar one day, as a galgame author who is also the most stressed in the industry, Masaki Takei felt regretful and had mixed feelings in his heart.

but……

It seems a little too early to be happy now.

Although the first reaction after watching the PV is not very good, I just feel that it is too ordinary.

Even a master like Hayao Miyazaki may be difficult to control.

However, based on past experience and feelings, he doesn't quite believe that a combination like Furuhara Chunqiu + Miyazaki Hayao can fail the game.

Unless the script really has a major problem, or the setting of the entire world view is Waterloo, otherwise it shouldn't.

According to Masaki Takei's own thinking, whether it is the old thief Furuhara or Master Miyazaki, anyone who pulls it out can be very appealing, and there must be an endless stream of players.

If something went wrong and the grades were not satisfactory, it must be Gu Yuan Chunqiu's responsibility.

If there really is such a day, it can only be said that Guyuan Chunqiu has been away from the game industry for too long, which has caused his state to decline after returning.

……

In short, this [not so good] perception is not limited to a few bigwigs from the Spirit Club. Even players are not very optimistic about the prospect of CL after watching the PV.

"It's over, it's over, this wave of Miyazaki masters will not smash their own signs, will they?"

"I don't think it's just Master Miyazaki, right? The old thief Gu Yuan is also smashing his own brand."

"This kind of game style that forcibly creates a tear-jerking feeling is indeed the old thief Guyuan, but this setting still has a certain gap with Guyuan Chunqiu, who has unconstrained ideas in my impression."

"Couldn't this be a fake Guyuan Chunqiu?"

"It's hard to say. In fact, no one has ever seen the appearance of Gu Yuan Chunqiu. Who knows who he is in reality. It is a mystery whether he is a man or a woman. Maybe the real Gu Yuan Chunqiu has long been hidden. Retired, but now the black-hearted president of Pokeni forcibly used the name to consume players."

"Ah~ Damn it, if this is the case, you must not let Qing Zhiyuan go."

"However, have you ever thought about it carefully, if Furuhara Chunqiu is fake, then why did Hayao Miyazaki cooperate with them?"

"That's right. I saw in the interview that Hayao Miyazaki himself said that he is very much looking forward to the cooperation with Chunqiu Furuhara. This is also his first time making a game."

"Emmmm...then there is only one truth——

Guyuan Chunqiu seems to be the real Guyuan, but this time his performance must be somewhat lacking.

As a result, Hayao Miyazaki was also dragged into the water. "

"What? Hayao Miyazaki + Chunqiu Furuhara, just made such a thing?"

"I have a sense of foreboding, not knowing exactly what the game will look like."

"Ah~ stop talking, if you continue talking, you don't want to buy games anymore."

"In short, let's wait and see first, this combination is actually quite strong, and there will definitely be many people playing this game for the names of Furuhara Chunqiu and Miyazaki Hayao.

Well, there will definitely be an answer then. "

……

The audience in the animation circle is relatively more tolerant. After all, the game is played less, and they have not experienced any adverse effects such a setting will cause.

On the other hand, some who have studied games and are fans of Hayao Miyazaki have a lot of resentment.

When I saw the PV of this game, I couldn't sit still.

Many people even want to go to the pokeni game company to denounce Qing Zhiyuan.

"It's disgusting! Why did Hayao Miyazaki take on such a bad job! I'm still looking forward to what kind of achievements Hayao Miyazaki can make in the game.

After watching the PV, I was really disappointed.

Simple and ordinary campus stories, I don't know how many such settings have been made.

It's a shitty street, okay?
What was Hayao Miyazaki thinking?This is all a joke about my reputation for the rest of my life, okay? "

"Yes, it should be a happy thing for a national treasure-level animation master to join a well-known game company.

I read all kinds of reports and interviews before, and Hayao Miyazaki highly praised this game.

I didn't expect the PV release to be so common.

What a disappointment. "

"Overall, it's not that the pictures are disappointing, the level of master Hayao Miyazaki is still here, you can see it from the simple PV.

The changeable and soft colors, the rich layering, and each character, although they haven't spoken a single word, make people feel that the action is very tense and has a soul.

It's a lot like Hayao Miyazaki's style.

But the only thing that makes me feel uncomfortable is that this is clearly a simple campus love story.

And with so many female characters, it looks like a beautiful girl harem theme on the bad street.

Is this game really worth it?
Is it worth buying for players?

Is it worth Master Hayao Miyazaki's contribution?

I am deeply skeptical. "

If we only look at the PV or the reactions of the players, maybe the editors of Famitone will make the same judgment——

What are these?

There is a lot of blank space in the PV, and there are only character settings and the basic encounter process. It is difficult to tell what is a better selling point.

The biggest selling point has become 【Hayao Miyazaki】

Is such a game really made by pokeni?

Is it really produced by Furuhara Chunqiu as the producer?

Fortunately, not long after the PV was released, Qing Zhiyuan sent the game disc to Famitone.

Mainly to fulfill the promise to Hamamura Koichi during the last meal, and also to thank Famitsu for giving "The Upside Down Patma" a full score.

After playing this game.

The editors finally had a bottom line in their hearts.

"Ah~ PV shouldn't do this, the experience content of this game is much more exciting than PV." Miki Watanabe, Famitsu's only female editor, sighed.

Seriously, the game far exceeded her expectations.

"Yes, I haven't recollected it yet." Kato Kemei said sadly.

"The game is definitely a good game, the graphics are super powerful, the soundtrack and the CV of the game, I think it is perfect, if I can make an evaluation after I have experienced it, this game must be a well-deserved masterpiece.

The only regret is galgame, which seems to have missed the Platinum Palace again. "

"To be honest, this is probably the most touching game I've ever played, other than Bed Boy and Reversed Man.

Everything is fine, except that the saliva will involuntarily flow out of the eyes. "

Hahahaha...

The others were all amused.

But after laughing, it was difficult to hide the loneliness in his eyes.

Watanabe Miki sighed, "Well, the impact of the follow-up is really too strong, the moment the game just ended, I was so moved, my heart felt empty, and I felt that my whole soul was emptied.

But I was still too naive. I didn't realize until I went home to sleep that the stamina was really terrible.

When I dream, I can dream that I am crying.

Can you feel this feeling? "

"Yeah." Several editors nodded, expressing their understanding of her feelings.

Seeing the editors discussing each other, the editor-in-chief Hamamura Hiroichi next to him seemed much calmer and more rational.

He folded his hands silently thinking about a question——

Since the game itself has no problems, and both the branch and main lines are very moving, it can fully support the names of Furuhara Chunqiu and Miyazaki Hayao.

Why is the PV so simple, it just conveys a sense of atmosphere.

Even the backstory feels boring and routine?

There is no reason.

According to Hamamura Hiroshi's perception of Furuhara Chunqiu and Miyazaki Hayao, neither of these two people is the kind of guy who is willing to be mediocre.

In their respective fields, these two geniuses have always been famous for their strong imagination.

There's no reason why CL's setting would be so ordinary, so ordinary that apart from the painting style and excellent soundtrack, it's almost impossible to see from the PV how much difference there is between it and those rotten galgames.

"Is there a possibility?"

At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his brain.

Hamamura Koichi summed up the recent events and various pieces of information, and a terrible idea was born in his brain:

"Is this actually a marketing method of pokeni?"

As soon as this sentence came out, the entire editing room fell silent.

The environment that was still chattering just now was suddenly silent, which was very strange.

"Eh?"

After a few seconds, everyone turned their heads to look at him at the same time.

"Otherwise there is no reason." Hiroichi Hamamura snapped his fingers, "Think about it, the game is actually very good, but the PV is so ordinary.

Perhaps this is the topic pokeni deliberately crafted.

Thinking about it carefully, there is really such a possibility. The contrast formed by the strong alliance with the masters must be doubted by many players, so the popularity will soon rise.

and--

To some extent, because the PV is too common, it lowers the players' expectations.

Due to Guyuan Chunqiu's reputation before, and Hayao Miyazaki's support, the players must have very, very high expectations.

Lowering your expectations is actually beneficial at this time.

When players actually experience the game, the feeling of regaining what was lost and exceeding expectations again will definitely explode! "

"Wow~" Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating that Hamamura Koichi's explanation was too convincing.

Yes, an excellent operation must know how to manage the expectations of the players, be able to mobilize the sense of expectation, and at the same time lower expectations at certain times.

This is actually a very deep knowledge.

The popularity of Hayao Miyazaki and Chunqiu Furuhara is enough to explode, and the expectations of the players do not know how high they are. If they don't pour a pot of water, the game will not be able to meet this expectation, but it will have a negative effect. Effect.

This is actually a very simple truth. Just like the Brazil team, this year's national team lineup is the world's top, with aliens Ronaldo, Ricardo, Cafu, Santos, Sergio...

If such a national team fails to win the world championship, I don't know what it will look like.

"President Qing's move is really brilliant!"

"Maybe it's really like this! Properly lowering expectations can actually make the actual experience of the game better."

"Yeah, the president of Pokeni is a good fox, and he is very good at marketing."

"Thinking about it this way, Qing Zhiyuan's scheming is terrifying!"
