Chapter 152 56. Who else?

During the lunch break the next day, art boss Taiji Sakata and programming boss Ken Akanishi were having fun on the rooftop.

Smoking and chatting.

"Since Xinjin Cheng returned to school, I always felt that something was missing."

Ken Akanishi bit his cigarette butt, blocking the wind with one hand and lighting the fire with the other.

After flicking the lighter twice, a ball of orange-red flame burst out.

He lowered his head and put the cigarette butt over, took a deep breath, and lit it successfully.

"Don't say it yet." Taiji Sakata agreed and glanced at the wooden chair where Shinjin Makoto usually liked to lie. It was now empty, with only him and Akanishi Ken on the entire rooftop.

"Although this kid Xinjin Cheng doesn't talk usually, he just likes to lie on the bench and watch the sky. It's really strange. His sense of presence can be said to be extremely weak.

Normally I don’t feel much about it, but when the person disappears, I find out that it actually has an impact. "

"This is the so-called companionship." Akanishi Ken smiled, "Usually a big living person lies here, but now I'm not used to it."

"It's not that he's gone, he just went back to school." Sakata Taiji corrected.

He actually likes this kid Makoto Shinjin. Although he is a little introverted and has a hobby of looking at the sky, his original painting ability is really strong.

And it’s okay to like the sky and the stars and the sea.

Kant said that there are two things. The more often and persistently we think about them, the more our hearts will be filled with admiration and awe that are always fresh and unabated - one

One is the moral law in our hearts, and the other is the brilliant starry sky above us.

To be honest, Sakata Taiji is still a little jealous of this guy Makoto Nizu. He is in his 20s, but his eyes can still be so pure and he can still look at the sky so persistently.

It is full of the romantic atmosphere of an artist and possesses the ultimate ideal of an artist.

"After "The Witcher" is finished, I will also apply to the president." Sakata Taiji said, looking at the sky in the distance.

"Huh? What are you applying for?"

"Apply to go on a tour!" Sakata Taiji said decisively.

After saying that, he laughed evilly, "Our art also needs inspiration. If we don't go outside to collect inspiration, we will definitely not be able to continue working behind closed doors like this."

"It's really hateful!" Akanishi Ken was so envious.

It is called Cai Feng, which actually means traveling.

Unfortunately, programmers have no such excuse.

Artists collect inspiration, sketch, and experience life. Like Hayao Miyazaki, they travel abroad to obtain materials in order to make cartoons.

What can you, a programmer, do? Can you still find the code from the scenery?

Therefore, in pokeni, collecting art is a very legitimate thing, and it can be regarded as a business trip.

Seeing Akanishi Ken's envious and jealous expression, Sakata Taiji laughed so hard that he couldn't stand upright.

When it calmed down a bit, the two of them had already finished smoking two cigarettes on the roof of the building.

Taiji Sakata blew out a smoke ring and looked at the sun peeking out from the clouds in the distance, "Akanishi-san, have you noticed that our president is really a strange person."

"How to say?"

"Look at all the strange talents the company has recruited. Except for Yoko Shimomura, who was poached from Capcom and has proven talents, the other guys were a little uncomfortable at first. Reassured look.

Shirakawa, who had never made game music before, had already gone to Pharaoh Control, and was dragged back by the president.

This guy Wada was completely self-recommended from the player forum. The scary thing is that the president actually dared to use him.

There is no check-in person.

Later, Shinji Mikami completely failed the written examination and interview, and Capcom did not want him. As a result, the president inexplicably favored him.

Now……"

Taiji Sakata glanced behind him to make sure there was no one, and then said cautiously, "Isn't the new Asahi Jun a little strange?"

"He is more lively than I thought. The strange thing is that he is a standard baseball player, right?" Akanishi Ken laughed dumbly, "Obviously he looks like a person who is very weak in baseball, but he likes to talk about baseball. .

By the way, I particularly like Furuhara Chunqiu.

Maybe it's Urobuchi Gen again. "

"Don't..." Taiji Sakata's whole body trembled, and he quickly waved his hand, "Don't let another Urobuchi Gen come, a Furuhara Chunqiu, and a Urobuchi Gen. Aren't we tortured enough?"

"Then you have to do it early." Ken Akanishi said with a smile, "After the president and Wada brainwash him, it will be a matter of time before Asahi becomes the next Gen Urobuchi."

"Well……"

The corner of Sakata Taiji's mouth twitched.

How can I brainwash him... Can I fight against the president?

“No matter what, before Ma Zhi learns to repeatedly change requirements, he must develop a good habit of caution.

In addition, you need to tell him the power of love and justice, and don’t always think about using a knife.

Following Gu Yuan Chunqiu and Xu Yuanxuan is a road of no return, and there is no future on this road. "

"Haha, you said it so well, why don't you do it?"

"I don't have time." Akanishi Ken smiled, "And the rework on the program side is not as exaggerated as yours, so I don't think it's intolerable."

Rather than endure it, Akanishi Ken has long been accustomed to enjoying it. Every time after being changed by the president, Akanishi Ken always receives many strange demands.

This is not entirely a bad thing, at least he has made great progress in his programming skills, and now pokeni's programmers are among the best in the country.

All this is thanks to Qing Zhiyuan.

It's like doing special training for the devil.

"So young. Our team's average age was originally only around 20 years old. Now that Ma Zhizhun has arrived, it has dropped even further.

I, a person in my 30s, am actually the oldest person here. It doesn't work in any company. "Sakata Taiji said angrily.

Akanishi Ken frowned severely.

In fact, he is about the same age as Taiji Sakata.

"There's nothing wrong with being young, right?" Ken Akanishi said, "This makes our company young and energetic."

In the game industry, pokeni is indeed a relatively young company, and most of them are young people. It is hard to imagine that a 20-year-old like Gen Urobuchi can take the lead alone.

Although Shinji Mikami is 27 years old, he has only been in the industry for just two years.

Now that he thought about it carefully, Ken Akanishi felt scared.

Whether it is Rentendao, Sega or Capcom, their founding teams are not too young now, and they also have a complete system for cultivating newcomers.

But pokeni has relied entirely on young people to thrive since its inception.

The slightest mistake in this process may cause the entire pokeni to fall into an abyss of eternal destruction.

It's a miracle we didn't go bankrupt.

What’s even more frightening is that pokeni can actually develop so well.

If you don't think about it, you still think everything is natural. When you think about it carefully, Ken Akanishi's scalp feels numb.

He stroked it carefully and his eyes suddenly widened.

The source is not elsewhere, but in Qing Zhiyuan.

His name is so well earned!

Taiji Sakata nodded, "Well, experience can be gained through accumulation, but creativity is very valuable. The most rare thing is that these young people in our company are quite creative."

"I wouldn't be able to control it at all." Ken Akanishi sighed sincerely.

So far, probably only Qing Zhiyuan can do this.

So Akanishi Ken still admires him.

If I have to say it, Qing Zhiyuan is the real genius.

The eyes are extremely vicious. Whether it is Shinji Mikami, Gen Urobuchi, intern Makoto Nizu, or even the newly arrived Jun Asae, they all seem to have shown extraordinary talents.

Just being able to discover these people and put them together is already powerful enough.

What's more terrible is that anyone else would probably have a headache with such a team. Having too many people with ideas in the company is not necessarily a good thing, and may result in nothing being done in the end.

But Qing Zhiyuan is really good at employing people.

Wada and Mikami are two completely different usages.

And each can exert 100% strength and value in their own fields. How terrible is this?

Now Ken Akanishi is looking forward to seeing how the president's favorite [Juni Aseda] will perform.

After working at pokeni for more than two weeks, Asahi was called to the office by the president.

"President, are you looking for me?"

Ma Zhizhun opened the door and sat on the sofa, shook his long hair from his forehead, and looked directly at Qing Zhiyuan.

"Yes." Qing Zhiyuan nodded, "I want you to be responsible for the copywriting content of the new game, including the story script."

"Really?!" Ma Zhizhun asked in surprise.

"Very good!"

He had long wanted to leave the Witcher during this time.

The main reason is that the tasks assigned to him by Gen Urobuchi are too trivial. They are either writing lines for a certain character among the demon hunters, or naming items and skills...

These are very different from the work content that Ma Zhizhun originally imagined.

According to Asae Jun's expectation, after coming to Pokeni, shouldn't he write stories and contribute his creativity to make everyone amazed?

Not to mention that it's not the case at all now, he often quarrels with the main copywriter Wada over some creative ideas.

Both people's ideas are interesting, but the work can only have one style.

In the end, Mikami Shinji must have sided with Gen Urobuchi, so many of Asahi Jun's ideas were not adopted.

But he was frustrated to death.

He didn't expect to receive such great relief from the president today, which made him full of hope for the game industry again.

"Yeah. Really." Qing Zhiyuan nodded, "I plan to make a brand new galgame."

After Xinjin Cheng returned to school, pokeni now doesn't have a galgame in his hands.

Qing Zhiyuan thought about it for a while and felt that it was necessary to make one. It was a short-term game with a high return rate.

Before the release of The Witcher, I can just use the new galgame to make a transition.

Before, it was because Wada didn't have time, but now that Ma Zhizhun is here, it's just time for him to try it out, which can be regarded as a practice.

"Yeah." Ma Zhizhun nodded fiercely, "So, what type of galgame will we do next, or are there any requirements?"

"Since it's a galgame, it's naturally about love." Qing Zhiyuan paused and said, "That's not necessarily the case. There can be breakthroughs in form and gameplay. How specifically..."

The president thought for two seconds, then smiled meaningfully, "Tell me."

"Huh?" Ma Zhizhun blinked, not expecting that the president would play such a big role.

Has pokeni's company always done things this way?

I want to make a new game, but I don’t know what it is yet, so let a new person design it...

I have to say that the president is really brave.

And he has so much confidence in me.

Although Ma Zhijun was a little annoyed by Gen Urobuchi during this period, when he saw the president like this, he suddenly felt that Wada-san was really kind and reliable.

Qing Zhiyuan is looking forward to Clannad, and he can even write out the script outline of CL and give it to Ma Zhijun.

However, doing so is tantamount to forcing the seedlings to grow, which may outweigh the gains and losses.

Let Ma Zhi perform better on his own.

At least he can grow in practice like Urobuchi Gen.

Even if you can't write CL at first, you will be able to write it one day.

Don't stifle Ma Zhizhun's creativity just because you are eager for quick success.

The average newcomer would have been frightened by Qing Zhiyuan, but Ma Zhizhun didn't seem to be flinching at all.

"So I can write anything?" Ma Zhizhun asked doubtfully.

He wrote a lot of novels in school, but it's hard to tell whether they are the same thing as games.

Fortunately, although he and Wada have been quarreling a lot recently, Ma Zhizhun has also learned a lot and has some basic understanding of the game.

At least he now knows that the game is not simply telling a story. Whether it is each character's lines or the names of the equipment... these all require people to think about writing them.

God said let there be light.

Then programmers began to study wave-particle duality, speed, frequency, heat...

Light is not that easy to create.

"It's up to you, first of all this is a galgame, and secondly, I need a high-quality script that can continue the pokeni tradition.

The script needs to showcase your creativity while also moving the players.

As long as these points can be achieved, the project can begin. "

Qing Zhiyuan smiled and said, "That's how Hetian-san started."

Hearing Wada's name, the corner of Ma Zhizhun's mouth twitched slightly.

"But since you have no experience in making games before, I will find an experienced producer to take charge of the new project. You only need to take care of the script part."

"oh."

It turns out there is a producer on it.

But Ma Zhi must be very curious——

Furuhara Chunqiu is gone, who else can be the producer of the new galgame now pokeni.

It can't be the president himself, right?

"Okay, President." Ma Zhizhun nodded seriously, "Within a week, I will write out the first draft for your review."

"OK."

Qing Zhiyuan expressed that he is very much looking forward to the script story of Jun Ma Zeda.

In terms of the player's mentality.
