Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 33 33. No Contrast No Harm

"Then, thanks for your attention, thank you very much!" Qing Zhiyuan bowed deeply.

"No, no, we are the ones who have been taken care of." Hattori Hiroyuki stood up and firmly held Qing Zhiyuan's hand.

Qing Zhiyuan reached an agreement with Hiroyuki Hattori, and in the future the Golden Thumb game sales chain will pre-purchase 1000 copies of "Famous School".

The main reason is that he failed to win the first place last time, so President Hattori's actions this time are very bold.

Pokeni is also a company with successful games in hand, and the negotiations between Qing Zhiyuan and the distributors are very smooth.

The game has not yet been released, but 5000 sets have been pre-sold.

This time the volume of the game is very small and there is no need to add additional chips, so the price that pokeni gave to the dealer was 3000 yen.

In other words, even if the game is not yet on the shelves, pokeni has basically paid back.

The total development cost, including the salaries of the members and the production of cassette tapes, totaled more than 1800 million, which was about the same as Qing Zhiyuan's original expectation.

……

After signing the contract, return to the company in the afternoon.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Akane Ayase coming out of the dining cart pushing a 10-inch cake, which was filled with candles.

It's not someone's birthday, it's mainly used to congratulate the successful development of "Famous Academy" this time, and 5000 copies have been pre-sold, so the members are extremely excited and happy.

"President, please use." HR Akane Ayase handed the cutter to Qing Zhiyuan.

Qing Zhiyuan smiled slightly.

This girl is getting better and better at the work of a secretary.

"I wish the game a big sale!"

Qing Zhiyuan blew out the candle, and then cut the first knife.

"I wish the game a big sale!" Everyone cheered.

……

Just a week before the upcoming release of "Famous Academy", Bluwins' "Street Chat" game was also officially launched.

The president of Bluwins Shigeru Kobayashi has great expectations for this game.

After all, this is the first game they have turned into a game cartridge. If they lose here, it will greatly affect morale.

Takashi Mizutani also expressed his uneasiness. Without Pokeni's "Onmyoji", he would be full of confidence in the game he made.

But now-

Not good.

Especially the main beauty basically doesn't follow his requirements, especially has her own ideas.

After several revisions, the current game character setting and painting style can only be described as unsatisfactory.

The main beauty Hideo Aoyama is an out-and-out beauty fan. He especially admires and loves the image of Omi as a white man, especially the big fierce butt. In his eyes, this is the ultimate perfect body.

Men love it.

That's right, maybe it's okay to implement Qingshan's philosophy from the beginning.

However, President Kobayashi also mixed in some of his own aesthetic concepts. He believes that if the game wants to recruit more players and win their love, it must enrich female characters as much as possible, from white to black. Should have everything.

I have to say that President Kobayashi's concept is really advanced, and it will be absolutely correct in the United States 30 years later.

Only now it's 90s neon.

So the painting style became a little weird.

No matter what skin color or appearance, in short, it basically incorporates Hideo Aoyama's concept of big fierce big ass.

As for the face...

It can be described in words.

Originally, there was a gap between the original painting design and pokeni, but this seems quite inconsistent.

But in terms of gameplay design and understanding of galgame, Mizutani feels that he is not inferior to Qing Zhiyuan.

……

After the game "Street Picking Up" was launched, the sales volume can be described as dismal.

A week later, only more than 1200 copies were sold.

According to this momentum, in the end it may be less than 3000 copies.

This simply did not live up to Bluwins' expectations.

The gameplay of "Street Pick Up" is very rough. In the game, big girls with various skin colors and appearances will randomly appear, and the characters played by players can strike up chats as they like.

And there is almost no such thing as failure.

As long as the conversation is successful, you can go to a love hotel with this woman, or have a pleasant action game in the park.

Players who have experienced this game, the evaluation given is not very good.

"Hmm... There's nothing wrong with being simple and rude."

"But there are too many games like this."

"Once it's too profuse, it looks a little low and vulgar."

"The setting of women is too simple, like empty shells without souls. You just talk to a bunch of rotten meat when you strike up a conversation with them. You can't appreciate the girls' personality and naturally you can't feel their beauty. .”

"The lack of challenge is also very speechless. Like in the game "Onmyoji", it takes a lot of hard work to win the girl's heart. If the favorability is not enough, the final sex will not be achieved.

But "Street Chat" gave me the feeling that——

These women are not so much prey waiting for you to hunt as they are hunters, waiting for you to take the bait.

It wasn't me who approached them and captured them, but they seduced me and took me.

You can understand this feeling, right? "

"I don't understand the aesthetics of the producer and the main beauty of this game. Why do all the women have to stand out? It's okay once or twice, but if there are too many, it will be a bit greasy and unappetizing."

"If the characters are drawn well enough and can be as exquisite as "Onmyoji", it doesn't matter if all the girls are super CUP. The problem is that the quality and style of the game "Street Picking Up" is far from that of Onmyoji. level."

"What's this called?"

"There is no harm without contrast."

"Once you have "Onmyoji", you will find that all the little galgames in the world are eclipsed."

"But I think we should thank "Onmyoji", which showed us the appearance and height that a galgame should have."

"I hope Bluwins can learn more from pokeni and make future galgames a success. Please show a little perseverance and challenge pokeni! Come on!"

……

How can it be repaired!
When he saw the questionnaire sent back by his colleagues, Takaya Mizutani's lungs were about to explode.

Who made Pokeni's "Onmyoji" do so well, it has fed the players' appetites, and they no longer look down on galgames like "Street Chat".

What made him even more angry was——

The president and employees of the new owner couldn't make the game exactly according to his requirements, but in the end, as the main planner, he had to pay for the consequences of these people's unreasonable troubles.

Mizutani raised his head and found that President Kobayashi's face in the distance was not very good either.

He couldn't help hesitating——

Should I propose to resign before Kobayashi Mao fires himself?
At least a little bit of fragile self-esteem can be preserved.

"It's not good, pokeni's new game is about to be released!"

At this moment, colleagues from the operation department ran in from the door in a panic.

"Huh? Really? So fast?!" Takaya Mizutani stood up from the chair in a jerk.
