Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

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

The game "Onmyoji" took less than 3 months from project establishment to production, which is unbelievable even for the future king of the Chinese game industry.

Under normal circumstances, the production cycle of a game is about half a year to a year, and there are even games like Red Dead Redemption 2 that take ten years to sharpen the sword.

"Onmyoji" can be developed quickly because of the following reasons:

First, the project was well done and under the control of Qing Zhiyuan. Basically, all planning requirements were quickly finalized and given the procedures, and there was almost no rework.

The second is that it has the foundation of "Heart of Sword", which saves a lot of development time on the underlying program logic.

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

However, in Qing Zhiyuan’s view, focusing on quality will definitely pay off.

…

Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo

7pm.

Quintessence

One of the very famous French restaurants in Tokyo.

"cheers!!!"

Tsuda Nao raised the goblet in her hand and said happily.

"cheers!"

Several people echoed at the same time.

Everyone's faces turned red and they drank all the red wine in their glasses.

Today, Tsuda Nao changed her past smart and simple style and wore a deep V black evening dress. The two slender shoulder straps highlighted her distinct collarbones, her slender neck, and the close-fitting long skirt made her S-shaped. The curves are drawn perfectly.

Especially his chest, it was like a huge black hole, sucking in the eyes of everyone around him.

Sitting on her left was Qing Zhiyuan, who was also dressed like a dog, wearing a white suit and his hair was arranged extremely delicately.

Sitting across from them were three slightly stout middle-aged men.

Despite their unimpressive appearance, these guys may even look like "fat uncles", but they are very famous game cartridge dealers in the Tokyo area.

pokeni has signed an overlord clause with Nintendo (you have to pay Nintendo a royalty of 2,000 yen for every cassette burned), and passed the review and classification, obtaining the 16+ label.

Therefore, after the production of "Onmyoji" was completed, it was already in the loading stage.

The next release is a matter of course.

In 1990, even though there was the Internet in the world, it was not popular, let alone the so-called [online downloading].

There is not even a concept of online and offline.

At this time, game sales mainly rely on physical stores, also known as dealers.

There are several large nationwide dealers, and each region also has its own main dealer. Under normal circumstances, these people pick up the goods from the manufacturer, and then transfer them to the distributors for sales. In the end, it becomes Established one physical game store after another.

DUN has its own sales channels, but it used to be a video store. Now it can sell to a certain extent through these channels, but the effect is definitely far less than that of a game store.

So Tsuda Nao made a special appointment for a dinner, took Qing Zhiyuan with her, and invited several important dealer presidents in Tokyo to have dinner.

"Ah~pokeni, I've never heard of this company, and I don't know if it's good or not, but since President Tsuda is the guarantee, let's pre-order 300 sets and give it a try."

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

To be honest, the cover affixed to the cassette is quite nice.

I just don’t know what the actual game content is like.

If it hadn't been 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, no," Tsuda Nao pretended to be angry and puffed up her cheeks, staring at the other person, "President Hattori, you are too petty. Do I only guarantee 300 sets? Then I won't dare to come to you again in the future. Yo."

"Haha, if that's the case, then just add 500 more. I want to give it a try first. If the sales are really as good as Nao-chan says, then it doesn't matter if I order ten times more."

Qing Zhiyuan next to him frowned when he heard this.

hateful!

Stop looking down on people.

…

at the same time.

"Nani?! Did you make pokeni games so fast?"

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

Gaming is a circle, especially in a place like Tokyo. There are not many gaming companies still alive, let alone competitors like pokeni.

So when news comes out, it spreads very quickly.

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

The only good thing is that the progress on the program side is still barely there, and the underlying framework is almost in place.

Didn't this guy Mizutani say that a good game needs to be polished for a year and a half?

Even Hideo Aoyama, the lead artist who was just hired to create the original painting for this game, is saying the same thing. But why are we just getting started and others have already finished it?

In fact, Mizutani himself didn't understand much.

He had seen pokeni's project, and he could even say that he knew it thoroughly. It was precisely because of his full understanding that he evaluated pokeni's little galgame [which was not small], and it couldn't possibly be done so quickly.

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

"No problem, the current pokeni sales may not necessarily bring good results. It may be just to make a quick buck." Hideo Aoyama said.

The president didn't really believe what they said, "But why do I hear others say that their posters are very beautiful, and that the character settings and original paintings are of high quality?"

The corners of Mizutani Takaya's mouth twitched twice.

Originally, their progress was quite gratifying, but the president asked Qingshan to be the main artist in the middle, saying that he was also a very famous master of original painting in the industry, and with his support, it would be easier to get twice the result with half the effort.

In fact, having a good original painting is indeed a joyful thing, but this [Hideo Aoyama] is really a bit too arrogant.

Relying on the fact that I have made several good games before and has a certain reputation and popularity in the industry, I feel like I am floating.

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

So after Qingshan intervened, the entire game's style completely changed 180 degrees.

So far it has not been determined.

The most uncomfortable thing is that after Mizutani Takashi came to the new owner, although President Kobayashi promised to promote him to producer, he has not been able to fulfill it so far, saying that he will not consider this matter until the project is successful.

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

It's not unacceptable to be in name only.

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

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

But it's impossible for him to admit defeat. Many of the team members of the "Street Pickup" project are people he brought out from pokeni. If he doesn't get better development in the new company, wouldn't he take this job in vain? !

So Mizutani could only say harshly, "Games are just like men. Generally, those who can do things quickly are not good at it.

As the saying goes, slow work produces careful 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. "

"Yes, yes, that's it. Mizutani-kun and I have the same view." Aoyama next to him agreed.

Mizutani raised his head and stared blankly at the mustache in front of him.

Nani? !

How could this guy be so cooperative? !
