Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 222 126. A Bunch of Sunspots! (Add 6 more for the first ten days of Jiuyue, the leader of the alliance)

In fact, these are just wishful thinking by the editors of Famitsu.

The person involved, Qing Zhiyuan, didn't think about doing any [expectation management] to lower the players' expectations.

Because in Qing Zhiyuan's opinion, this game is good enough, it is simply the pinnacle of galgame masterpieces, why pour cold water on players and lower their expectations?

No matter how high the expectations are, can they be higher than the actual experience of the game?

It was this self-confidence that led to the disaster of public opinion.

When Qing Zhiyuan saw the feedback from the outside world, he was completely dumbfounded.

Alle?

Why didn't it match my expectations?

It stands to reason that with such an excellent picture quality, master Hayao Miyazaki's paintings, and a perfect soundtrack, even without a plot, it is enough to resonate with people.

That faint sense of sadness atmosphere should be conveyed in place.

Miyazaki-senpai also said the same thing.

How did it get the opposite effect after the actual broadcast?
……

When Qing Zhiyuan went to the company, he saw many protesters on the road.

"Protest! Qing Zhiyuan, please leave the game industry and return the good game to us."

"Hayao Miyazaki was killed because he was bewitched by Qing Zhiyuan."

The voices of the protesters were so loud that people couldn't help but shake their hearts.

So he had to put on a mask, and then entered the company through the underground garage.

As soon as I arrived at the company, I saw a box of blades as expected.

He couldn't help frowning severely.

"The game hasn't been released yet. Isn't it a little too early to send the blade?"

This time, Jun Maeda didn't seem to panic too much, because he didn't write the script for CL.

So the blade is for Mr. Furuhara Chunqiu.

But I was a little flustered, because he wrote the script of LL, and there are many similarities in the background settings of the two games.

So when he saw the blade now, Maeda Jun couldn't help worrying about his future.

When LL is on the shelves, there may be problems with my own life safety.

in various senses.

If it's done badly and can't hold up, it will definitely be scolded by the players.

Well done, but the core is tear-jerking, and it will definitely be scolded by the players again.

Whether the game is good or bad, Jun Maeda has foreseen the end of the blade.

Beside Akane Ayase was instructing people to move the box into the storage room, when she heard Qing Zhiyuan's doubts, she turned her head and looked at him eagerly.

What's the problem, President, haven't you figured it out yet?
"Isn't it because of you? Players have reported that you have caused Hayao Miyazaki misfortune."

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan couldn't bear this point, "Why did I hurt him? Isn't this a strong alliance?"

"The point is that they don't know. The PV of the game is too ordinary." Akane Ayase spread her hands, "Who told the PV not to give more gimmicks?"

Uh……

What kind of gimmick is this? Originally, CL is a slow-paced and warm game, no matter which line is like this. Do you think that there is a core selling point in the initial setting like "Upside-down Patma"?
If you want to say what the core selling point of CL is, it is naturally the tearjerker of the ending.

However, it is impossible to disclose this selling point in advance, otherwise it will not be possible to achieve an explosive effect.

It is not easy for PV to do this.

hateful.

Are players now so picky?
Do you have to make some particularly gorgeous settings?

What is "Back to Basics"?
What is life, do you understand?

Qing Zhiyuan imagined countless different ways for players to send blades. This is the first time that the game was sent blades before it was released.

And also because of a leading film.

"These ignorant human beings, when the time comes to play the game, they will know how ridiculous their behavior is!"

……

When I went to work the next day, as a diehard fan of P Agency, when I heard my colleagues around me talk about yesterday's PV disaster, I was so depressed that I couldn't say a word.

When we got together for dinner at noon, we had an in-depth exchange of impressions.

"Gu Yuan Chunqiu's comeback work, just this PV, is obviously unqualified?" In order not to touch Gu Chuan's sensitive nerves, colleague Hayami Chuan asked cautiously.

"Hmm...probably." Guchuan Haoze sighed helplessly, even he himself felt that he was not up to Guyuan Chunqiu's level.

Even in terms of setting and background, it is not as good as when Guyuan Chunqiu was not around.

Any game made by Shinji Mikami or Mika Ishino is better than this setting.

If you look at "The Witcher", it has a grand world view, profound themes and high thinking.

Take a look at Ishino Mika's "The Man in the Bed". The setting of the quilt in the PV alone is enough to stimulate people's curiosity. Together with the spiky hedgehog girl, it is a perfect match.

Such a chemical reaction can explode even without playing games.

Brilliant like fireworks.

but……

Only CLANNAD.

Really resentful.

It can be said to be a model of loud sound and little rain.

I heard how excited Gu Yuan Chunqiu was when he came back before, so how disappointed he is now.

Coupled with Hayao Miyazaki's nationality, he failed to support the game.

Even Furukawa Haoze has an intuition——

Even if Hayao Miyazaki wrote the script himself, it might be better than this.

"It seems that Gu Yuan Chunqiu cannot be completely blamed for this game. I really want to hear that the initial idea for this game, including the script, all came from the president Qing Zhiyuan."

"Eh? Really or not?"

Hearing this, Furukawa Haoze couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Everyone also looked suddenly enlightened.

"Ah~ This can explain it. If the adjustments and changes were made under the pressure of the president, then Gu Yuan Chunqiu is likely to compromise."

"Yes, I said that Gu Yuan Chunqiu's production level on galgame should not be like this. If he was coerced by Qing Zhiyuan, it is really very possible."

"Damn it. Damned capitalist."

"Yeah, as for Qing Zhiyuan, rumors in the industry say that the level of original painting is good, but his ability in game planning is limited.

Although I have also produced blockbusters such as Diablo and Pokémon, but you have not found any. In fact, the plots of these games are not so rich and amazing. Some games are well done by Shinji Mikami and Urobuchi. Xuan's credit.

Before Xu Yuanxuan joined pokeni, Qing Zhiyuan's own game was a disaster. "

"Ah...there is such a nasty story behind it."

"What does Qing Zhiyuan think, that his level is higher than that of Gu Yuan Chunqiu? I think even if Ma Zhizhun is allowed to write the script, it is better than Qing Zhiyuan's own creation, right?"

"Hey, it's probably because when Guyuan Chunqiu was away, the sales of P Club's games caused him to drift away. What else could be the reason?"

"Some capitalists just can't recognize the reality. The company has done a great job, and sometimes it has nothing to do with you. If you insist on intervening, it may lead to negative effects."

"However, do you find it strange that there is nothing wrong with Guyuan Chunqiu listening to the president. After all, Qing Zhiyuan pays him a salary, but why does Hayao Miyazaki listen to him?"

"This... I don't know, maybe it's because of Qing Zhiyuan's eloquence? Or is he particularly good at deceiving people?"

"Well……"

Everyone folded their hands and remained silent for a long time.

So far I have not figured out why CL is an ordinary setting with a campus background, and even all the characters appearing in the PV are implying that this galgame is ordinary.

Multiple branches, multiple heroine strategies, campuses, these things are not new anymore.

Things that have been spoiled by the elf society.

There are relatively few games on the market that copy P Club, because pokeni basically does not follow the usual path, but there are many games that copy Pokemon Club's "Same Grade".

This type of galgame basically has these things in common:

Handsome male protagonists and girls with different personalities are waiting for you to uncover the stories behind them, and then guide them to finally get together with one or even a few of these girls to achieve HE.

But it's a bit outrageous for pokeni to do such a thing.

It simply destroyed Guyuan Chunqiu's god-like image in everyone's mind.

How could a god do the work of a mortal? !

This is why Furukawa Haoze felt a little broken.

Everyone fell silent.

After a while, the junior Sugita asked cautiously, "Then seniors, are you still planning to buy this game?"

"what……"

It's a question that hits the soul.

This silenced everyone even more.

Gu Chuan Haoze frowned severely.

I don't know how to answer.

He himself is also very entangled. For Miyazaki's original painting, the producer of Guyuan Chunqiu should get a copy.

According to his previous habit, if it is the work of the old thief Gu Yuan, he has to buy three copies.

One is for personal experience, one is for collection, and the other is for preaching.

However, after watching the PV this time, he was particularly afraid of that kind of rotten galgame.

The first game that made a beautiful girl's harem was very popular, and the second one was not so new. What's more, when Paradox was making CL, I didn't know how many products of the same type appeared.

Even with the blessing of Hayao Miyazaki, this fact cannot be changed.

Tangled, tangled.

Buy it or not.

This is a problem!
……

The specific plot and amount of information revealed in the PV this time is actually very little, but the background setting is actually put there.

This is also one of the important reasons for players' dissatisfaction.

[Furuhara Chunqiu + Miyazaki Hayao] Did this?

No matter who it is, you can't believe and accept it, right?

It didn't catch people's eyes, even shocked like a lightning strike. I'm really sorry for this combination.

So being scolded by the players seems inevitable.

Although there are also many rationalists, or some traditional p club fans think:
"The game hasn't even started selling yet. Is it too early to draw conclusions? Maybe this game looks like a pretty common girl harem game, but it actually has its own unique features? "

"Yes, the quality of pokeni games has always been guaranteed, not to mention this is the comeback of Guyuan Chunqiu.

It's impossible to smash your own signboard, right? "

"Is there a possibility that Guyuan Chunqiu felt that he had fed too many delicacies from mountains and seas to everyone before, but this time he did the opposite and used some more common background settings in order to make the players better. Substitute yourself.

Isn't "Your Name" also a student in the setting?

Just as good, right?
In the specific situation, even if you want to scold or send blades, at least you have to wait until the game is released. It is really bad to actually do it.

Then pull Guyuan Chunqiu out and whip him again,
It's not too late to whip the president Qing Zhiyuan out, right? "

In short, Famitsu’s editor-in-chief Hiroichi Hamamura was right about one thing:
Because of a PV, the popularity of CLANNAD has risen rapidly, just like riding a rocket.

The main thing is a black and red.

Many manufacturers' games want to be hacked to pieces, and even become a topic of national discussion, but they still can't do it.

I have to say [Furuhara Chunqiu + Miyazaki Hayao]'s influence is too great, and this PV is called a disaster.

Even because of the popularity caused by the PV, the pokeni community forum, which was originally no one cares about, suddenly became popular.

However, the fire did not develop as Qing Zhiyuan expected, but was full of various violent remarks:
[I know there must be many people who say that the game hasn't been launched yet, so don't rush to criticize it.

But after watching the PV, I really couldn't help complaining.

No matter how the game is, the campus background and the beautiful girl strategy, it must be impossible to escape, right?
It is clearly shown in the PV.

With this setting, I may be able to write scripts better than the author. 】

[What is the purpose of this forum, let players speak freely and comment on the game, right?

Then I'm more than welcome.

When the news of Furuhara Chunqiu's comeback and Hayao Miyazaki's joining came out in CL, I was looking forward to it.

But now, hehe.

Well my expectations were destroyed in half by PV.

After watching the PV, my first reaction was——

Isn't this a very common campus galgame?
Are the students in the same grade not doing well?

Even Masato Hiruta, the president of the Spirit Club, has always publicly stated that he is a fan of Furuhara Chunqiu, and even his student.

Spirit clubs are learning from pokeni.

Why is it the other way around now?
I think the old thief Gu Yuan is getting back more and more, and he doesn't even have the same level as three years ago.

If you don't accept rebuttals, you can go and see the PV and then comment. 】

[Yes, I have already watched the PV, and I am extremely disappointed.

CLANNAD, failed to support my expectations.

Even if it is the works of Furuhara Tsubaki and Miyazaki Hayao, I will not buy it! 】

[The background setting of the game has been lost by half, which has caused the sense of expectation to really drop a lot. The exciting feeling when I watched the upside-down Patma PV last time is gone.

This time, I only felt a stagnation in my chest, but I didn't know how to vent it.

It can only be said that Qing Zhiyuan, the incompetent president, wasted a god-level producer like Gu Yuan Chunqiu, and a national treasure-level painting master like Hayao Miyazaki.

Although I also look forward to a reversal after the game is released.

But at present, it seems that with this background setting, it is difficult to make any waves.

Bless the pokeni I've loved.

Bless Guyuan Chunqiu, whom I once liked.

Bless my favorite master Hayao Miyazaki.

Qing Zhiyuan, Xi Nei. 】

……

Qing Zhiyuan covered his face in pain.

Who would have thought that the forum that was originally intended to be set up to gain praise from players turned out to be full of such bad remarks.

You bastards.

Wait, at this moment, Qing Zhiyuan's whole body trembled.

Suddenly realized something.

Mom!
I was raped by the Internet!
