Gotta Go the Healing Route

"Actually, what I'm talking about is the real evil man. You can understand it as the evil man that was circulated in the world before Yu Biechao's debut?"

"I don't know much about this..." An Yikuan shook his head too.

"But does this have anything to do with our game?"

"Of course it's related..." Kazama Xi said flatly: "You can understand that "Song of Saya" is an evil work."

"The so-called evil works means that nine out of ten people will not be interested, or even hate them. But the remaining one will like them very much."

"As for the positioning of the target users, this "Song of Saya" is not aimed at the public from the beginning to the end."

At this time, the pearl milk tea ordered by Kazama Xi was served, and Kazama Xi took a sip out of habit.

On the other side of Kazama Xi, An Yikuan fell into deep thought because of what he said just now.

It took a full minute before he came back to his senses and raised his head.

"You mean, aside from the current bad reviews, if it's a good review, it's a high score of 90 or more."

"That's right." Kazama Xi cast an approving look at Mrs. An Yikuan.

"Those who don't like it can't accept it at all, but those who can accept it will like it very much. This game is aimed at this goal."

"For me, this is the case in any field of creation. I am not afraid of bad reviews and slander, but I am most afraid of mediocrity."

"Because, for creators, mediocrity means death."

Chapter 190 Three Falling in Love with Inhumans

The involution in the field of creation has always been intense.

After all, the ultimate goal of creators is to become famous, and the antonym of "famous" is mediocrity.

Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second. It is this illusory first that has attracted countless creators to their brains.

Looking at Kanta Anyi, Kazama Xi couldn't help shaking her head.

After all, this is the first time to become a producer, Kazama Xi still knows the mentality of this An Yijun very well.

After the release of the debut work full of confidence, it received negative reviews. No matter how strong the creator is, it is inevitable that he will be a little frustrated.In Kazama Xi's previous life, he experienced many similar situations.

But ah, Mrs. An Yikuan probably still doesn't understand that the biggest blow to creators is not bad reviews, but no one cares about them.

In the era when traffic was king in Kazama Xi's previous life, as long as he could attract attention, it didn't matter whether he had a bad review or a good review.

Black fire is also a kind of fire. After all, gaining attention is gaining naked benefits, so it doesn't matter if you pretend to be a clown.

It just confirms the sentence: It's not shabby to make money.

However, Kazama Xi would naturally not say such words.Creation, as the crystallization of human ingenuity, still needs to be somewhat forceful.

In short, Kazama Xi brought the topic back to the right track, comforting:

"Don't worry. After all, "Song of Saya" has indeed sold 3000 copies. There are only a few comments, which cannot represent the opinions of all players. Moreover, I guess the owners of those few negative comments should be aimed at the original painting. The story didn't look very closely."

Compared to An Yi Kanta's earnestness, his thoughts are all affected by the evaluation and response of the game.Yu Kazama, who was in charge of the script, calmed down a lot.

Let me talk about these bad reviews first... At the beginning of the serialization of Magical Girl Madoka, the overwhelming criticism was terrible.

Besides the gains and losses, he participated in the production of this game because he wanted to test the galgame market in Kana.After all, several big IPs in Japan in the previous life were all derived from visual novel games.

Furthermore, in choosing "Song of Saya", in addition to quickly highlighting the characteristics of the community and accumulating fame, Kazama Xi also instinctively wanted to test the world's acceptance of novelty hunting games.

This can be said to be an experiment.

After all, although Kazama Xi has embarked on the road of evil comics, the works he copied are basically a typical combination of evil and commercialization in his previous life.The one that really goes to extremes is "Flame Fist", which is currently being serialized.

Touching the acceptance level of the ACG circle of Shennai Kingdom will allow Xi Kazama to better adapt to the market in the future.

Needless to say, if you succeed, it's okay even if you fail.Take it as a trial and lesson, and I actually didn't lose anything.

As for the community, if An Yikuan wanted to open up too much, he wouldn't be as anxious as he is now.Because from a factual point of view, this first game production journey was very successful.Completely completed the production of the game and accumulated experience.In terms of sales, it also exceeded expectations.

In case "Song of Saya" is really unacceptable in the later stage, the frustration of the debut work is also a normal thing for a small start-up society.

Of course, the most important thing is that Kazama Xi is standing on the shoulders of giants after all.In the previous life, "Song of Saya" was so famous in the gal circle, so there was a reason for it.As Xu Yuanxuan's script, artistry and connotation are indispensable, and it is definitely not an ordinary vulgar work.

Even if it is a setback, it will definitely not go anywhere.

...........

"In the field of creation, you are not afraid of bad reviews, but mediocrity... Mr. Xi, you are right!"

The anxiety on An Yikuantai's face dissipated a lot, and the old energy returned to him.

"Indeed, I was too impatient. As a producer, since this game has been born, we should believe in the results it brings."

"Thank you, Mr. Xi, for your enlightenment. It's a bit embarrassing to call you out so abruptly."

"No problem, anyway, I just happened to come over for a cup of milk tea."

Kazama Xi shook the milk tea in her hand, "This cup of milk tea will be used as a consultation fee for solving problems."

Came out as a confiding object once, although it was a boy who confided to him, Kazama Xi didn't care, just came out to get some air.

After chatting about daily life for a while, Xi Kazama and Kanta Anyi left the milk tea shop.

Kazama Xi returned to the studio to continue this week's serialization tasks, while Anyi Kanta returned to his home.

Back in the room, An Yikuanta didn't intend to keep staring at the galgame scoring website.As Kazama Xi suggested, he planned to check the response in a few days.

But before that, he subconsciously glanced at the webpage again.

But he found that compared with when he went to find Kazama Xi and left the room, there was one more comment now.

"Is it a bad review again?" Mrs. An Yikuan clicked on that review with the idea of ​​the worst possible outcome.

However, the displayed text stunned An Yikuan in front of the computer screen, and then a relieved smile appeared on his face.

No extreme Tailai.After two consecutive negative reviews, "The Song of Saya" finally gave birth to its first positive review:

"Unforgettable, impressive masterpiece." 95 points.

..............

On the other end of the network cable, after typing on the keyboard and manipulating the mouse to click the send option, the young man in front of the computer looked away from the computer screen and focused on the game box on the table.

The young man's name is Miki Tomoaki, he is an otaku, and he is also a senior galgame lover.

Naturally, Tomoaki Miki would not be absent from the jihad a few days ago.

The summer new works of those big gal manufacturers are often released first on CM, which is not to be missed for gal lovers.At the same time, many fan works on CM are also a good time to increase your collection.

Same as last year, Miki Tomoaki can be said to have returned with a full load. After returning home, he couldn't wait to enjoy his spoils when he came.

However, when he actually played the work of a big factory that he was most looking forward to, Tomoaki Miki felt that it was boring for a while.

"Why did it start like this again? Last year's new work was also like this, but the background was changed. Nmd, is the cover game used to collect money?" Tomoaki Miki complained.

In fact, this cannot be completely blamed on the producer of the game. The story of the love harem comedy type is the plot and content back and forth.After a theme has been cultivated in countless manufacturers' associations for several years, it is really difficult to write new ideas and ingenuity in the story.

In fact, in terms of story scripts, these major manufacturers still maintain a relatively high level: whether it is logic, character design or rhythm, they are all very good.

But for a veteran player like Miki Tomoaki, it seems like repeating the same taste of food every day, even if it is delicacies from mountains and seas, he will get tired of it.

When Tomoaki Miki played with the so-called masterpieces of several major manufacturers, he completely gave up.

The works that cater to the majority of otaku have achieved the ultimate in commerciality.The original painters hired for those original paintings are paid on a piece-by-piece basis, and the exquisite pictures can be called enjoyment.

But in the eyes of Tomoaki Miki, these works are like beautiful dolls with beautiful appearance but no soul.

"If this goes on, the pills in the industry..."

Bored, Tomoaki Miki shifted his target and began to examine the remaining works purchased on CM.

Then, Miki Tomoaki saw "Song of Saya".

Tomoaki Miki is still very impressed with this work. On the CM at that time, the popular cartoonist Wu Shanyun also mentioned this work.

With the idea of ​​chasing stars, Tomoaki Miki also lined up to buy a copy.But after buying it, I found out that it was the work of a little-known small community.

Small associations represent insufficient funds, and insufficient funds represent shabby productions.Making shabby will cause a series of follow-up problems.

All in all, the works produced by small societies are often rough. Of course, occasionally some excellent works will be produced, but the probability of that is pitifully small.

After buying it back, Miki Tomoaki threw it aside.It wasn't until now that I suddenly remembered it.

Holding the packing box, Miki Tomoaki began to open it.

The most attractive thing is naturally Lie. Compared with the coquettish ** on other gal Lie, the white blue-haired girl suddenly shows a pure beauty.

Compared with the clarity of the girl standing up, the packaging box is dark red as a whole, and there is a sentence printed on the cover:

"The man who fell in love with non-human things finally gave up continuing to exist as a human being, and achieved his love."

Chapter 190 Four, It's Hell Ahead

The sentence engraved on the game box like an introduction attracted Miki Tomoaki's attention.

"The man who fell in love with non-human things" reminded him of catgirls, monster girls and other humanoid alien love harem themes that have been popular in recent years.

But the latter 'abandoning the existence of being a human being' denied him this idea.

Moreover, the main part of the game's packaging box is specially made dark red, which is completely different from the warm-colored packaging boxes such as pink and sky blue on the market. It also seems to reveal that this game is not an ordinary comedy love harem type.

A suspenseful gal work?

Tomoaki Miki became interested. Although he didn't have much expectations for the works of this little-known small community, he was still going to give it a try.

Putting the disc into the computer host, Tomoaki Miki skillfully opened the game called "Song of Saya".

I have to say that although it is a work of a small community, the setting at the beginning is very distinctive and attractive.

Wake up and find that everyone around you has turned into a monster.

The opening chapter describes the protagonist Xisaka Yuki who had to undergo brain surgery due to an accident, but after the operation, in Yuji's vision, this beautiful world turned into a pile of flesh and blood, sticky and disgusting In Yu Ji's eyes, the landscape, buildings, objects, human beings, etc. have all become rotten and dirty pieces of meat.

Miki Tomoaki, who played from the perspective of the protagonist, was also greatly shocked.Compared with the usual beautiful background, the delicate and beautiful girl Li Hui, this work presented him with completely opposite things.

Not to mention the filthy and chaotic environment, the characters appearing on the stage are all hideous-looking alien monsters covered in bright red viscous body fluids.

Even the bgm has a strange tone change, and the voice of the characters has become a roaring noise like a monster.

The producer seems to have deliberately worked hard on the visual and audio aspects, so that the beginning of the game will form such a polluted world of demons dancing wildly.
