Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 172 76. Huh? The president's taste is a bit unique.

September 20, 1993.

On this day, several young people came to pokeni Co., Ltd.

Basically, they are all 17 or 18 years old, children under 20 years old who are so fresh that they can see through the water.

Oh, no, except for the boy who wears glasses and is a little chubby.

President Qing Zhiyuan is taking these children to visit the company. While introducing what everyone is doing and how the games are made, he is also telling the glorious history of pokeni so far.

In fact, this glorious history only lasted for three years.

From this perspective, pokeni is extremely tender.

"Huh? Why are there so many young people today?"

As soon as he entered the company, the lead artist Taiji Sakata noticed something was wrong.

Program boss Akanishi Ken pursed his lips and motioned for him to lower his voice, "The president is taking college students from Keio to visit the company. He probably wants to take the opportunity to promote it and recruit a few interns, right?"

"Eh?"

Taiji Sakata blinked, put down his briefcase mechanically, and then sat down at the workstation. While sorting out today's work, he looked at the college students from the corner of his eye.

There seemed to be about 6 people in total.

4 men and 2 women.

The two girls have pretty faces and look quite kawaii. One of them wears round-framed black glasses and even looks like a manga girl.

"Since the 1990s, newcomers don't seem to get this kind of treatment."

Sakata Taiji said suspiciously.

Yes, Ken Akanishi agreed very much. Wasn’t that the bubble economy era before 1990? Neon is booming all over the world. Entrepreneurs are trying their best to grab people and provide all kinds of generous treatment to college students. They even give big gifts to college students before they sign the contract.

At that time, talent was more expensive than anything else, and there was almost no need for interviews.

Things are different now. The economy is in recession, companies are closing down one by one, and there are still so many jobs left for young people.

Nowadays, it is basically college students who want to join the company. It is really rare for someone like the president to invite people to visit the company in advance.

Unless this group of people is very important.

"The top students from Keio University can barely be considered as talents that need to be fought for." Ken Akanishi responded, "Before you came just now, the president had already asked me to introduce some program work content."

Among the visitors who came today, there were students from different majors, including those from the Department of Computer Science, and those from the Department of Social Sciences...

"Who does the president have his eye on?" Sakata Taiji couldn't help but become curious.

"Guess?" Akanishi Ken said with a wicked smile, pretending to be mysterious.

Taiji Sakata looked around and said, "That girl wearing glasses, right? In fact, she is quite beautiful, but when she puts on the glasses, she looks cute. Maybe the president will like this one."

"No." Akanishi Ken laughed happily.

"You might not believe it."

"HR Akane Ayase said that today's invitation is actually only for one person."

He guided Sakata Taiji's gaze with his eyes.

The latter glanced at it and was shocked.

Because Akanishi Ken's eyes fell on the most inconspicuous boy among the students, who even seemed to have a bit of a wretched temperament.

It's the boy who wears glasses and is a little chubby.

"Huh? Is it true? Is the president actually interested in such a person?"

…

At this time, Qing Zhiyuan was happily taking students from Keio University to visit Pokeni Company, and told them about the game development history of P Club with great interest.

Everyone listened with great interest.

Especially the boy in the team who wears glasses and is said by Taiji Sakata to have a vulgar temperament——

Hidetaka Miyazaki.

The young Hidetaka Miyazaki is thinner and has thicker hair, but his appearance has hardly changed. You can tell at a glance that this guy is an old Miyazaki thief.

From some angles, this guy is somewhat similar to Liu Cixin.

However, this guy kept a low profile throughout the whole process. Although his eyes were shining, he hardly spoke or asked any questions.

Others, especially the good-looking girl, were extremely lively.

Like a little bird, he was always chirping around Qing Zhiyuan.

Qing Zhiyuan felt a little noisy.

The girl's heart goes to Qing Zhiyuan, but President Qing seems to only care about Miyazaki Hidetaka.

He patiently asked, "What do you think of this classmate? Are you interested in doing an internship at pokeni?"

Miyazaki Hidetaka was stunned for a moment, holding up his glasses with his fingers, his nervousness visible to the naked eye.

The current old thief is still a little fat man who is a little introverted. Even if he is eager to move inside, he does not show any obvious signs.

But the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, showing Hidetaka Miyazaki's signature sinister smile, indicating that although he didn't express it clearly, he was very interested in Qing Zhiyuan's invitation.

Before this guy went to college, he was always looked down upon by his family and had almost no chance to get into games, but that didn't mean that he wasn't interested in games.

Miyazaki Hidetaka was born in a poor family in Shizuoka Prefecture. Since his parents could not afford books or comics, he often went to the library to read various books.

Ironically, his parents banned him from playing games since he was a child, so he could only read game books and play board games, but this did not affect his creativity and imagination at all.

After Hidetaka Miyazaki entered college, he began a revenge-style experience game process. There is a saying:

The less you can get when you are a child, the more you want when you grow up.

The more forbidden it is, the more mysterious and attractive it is.

Boys who have never been in love are always full of fantasies about girls.

Miyazaki Hidetaka, who has never played a game, is naturally full of desire for games.

Unfortunately, he didn't have money to buy a game console, so his inner desires were even more suppressed.

After being invited to pokeni, Hidetaka Miyazaki was suddenly taken into a mysterious world by Qing Zhiyuan, just like a girl he had been secretly in love with for a long time and lifted the gauze covering his face in front of him.

Miyazaki Hidetaka fell instantly.

"Pokeni is definitely a place to realize your dreams, and the atmosphere of a big family is quite strong."

After finishing speaking, Qing Zhiyuan turned his attention to other people and added:

"Well, everyone is welcome to come to pokeni for internship in the future. Maybe a work that will shock the world in the future will be made by you."

"Teacher, I am a computer major. I should be doing programming work in the future, right? Can programmers also participate in design?"

"certainly."

Qing Zhiyuan nodded seriously, "Employees in any position have their own ideas and creativity. Pokeni never restricts individuals. As long as your idea is good, interesting, and creative, you will have the opportunity to try it. "

real or fake?

Hearing Qing Zhiyuan's words not far away, Akanishi Ken and Sakata Taiji were shocked.

The president is shameless and lies in front of the students.

Before this, why haven’t I seen any game designers with a background in programming or art?

Oh, except for the president himself.

…

"That..." At this moment, Hidetaka Miyazaki raised his hand weakly.

Qing Zhiyuan quickly encouraged him with his eyes, "This classmate, please speak freely."

"I...I have never played a game." Miyazaki Hidetaka said, "I have only read the game strategy book, but I am interested in the game. No, because I have never played the game, I don't even know if I am interested in the game. Really interested.

Can people like me also participate in game development? "

"Well, it's okay." Qing Zhiyuan nodded seriously.

The current Miyazaki Hidetaka has not yet been able to meet his destined game. Today is a turning point.

It's just that what this guy needs to do in the future is to experience more games and stimulate his imagination and creativity.

"If you don't know about games," Qing Zhiyuan thought for a moment, then looked back at the programmer who was debugging the game, "Come to Pokeni for an internship, and we can configure the corresponding game console for you. If you don't have the conditions, then the company's test room It's available for you to use.

Miyazaki-san, whatever game you want to experience then, you can experience it here. If the school has the conditions, you can take the test machine back, as long as it is not damaged or leaked. "

Eh?

Miyazaki Hidetaka was stunned for a moment.

It seemed that he didn't expect Qing Zhiyuan to directly call him by his name.

But he soon understood——

today

It can only be said that President Qing is really a very charming entrepreneur. Even an inconspicuous person like them can remember it and has done his homework in advance.

This feeling alone is extremely touching.

and……

There are actually free games to play under the sun.

Isn't this great?

The other students looked at each other and couldn't help laughing happily.

…

After seeing off these college students, Qing Zhiyuan returned to the office and sat down.

happy.

From what he just observed, Miyazaki is obviously very interested in making games.

But this is of course.

After all, Hidetaka Miyazaki in his previous life was a person who could give up his high-paying career at Oracle in order to make games, and even take a salary cut for less than half of his original position to work in game development.

And he changed jobs at the age of 29.

You must know that Neon has a lifelong employment system. Once you leave Oracle, the future will be full of uncertainty.

Resigning under such circumstances really requires a lot of courage, and it also requires a great passion for games.

So even if Hidetaka Miyazaki does not make games today, he will be engaged in the game industry in the future.

The only thing that worries Qing Zhiyuan is——

Now Miyazaki Hidetaka, apart from imagination and creativity, can be said to be a blank sheet of paper.

But it doesn't matter, because Qing Zhiyuan knows that this guy has the potential and talent to become a top producer.

What he needs is time and experience, and he needs to enter a game company to gain experience and polish.

In the end, in just a few years, Qing Zhiyuan is confident that he can polish the rough jade of Miyazaki Hidetaka into a crystal clear treasure.

As for the other college students who came to visit, Qing Zhiyuan adhered to the principle of meritocracy. As long as they performed well during their internship in the company, they would be hired.

After all, Keio University is one of the best universities in neon.

…

Not long after the visit, Hidetaka Miyazaki and several students from Keio University signed their names on the internship contract.

But I will probably come to the company for an internship during the winter vacation in December.

"very good."

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but be secretly happy.

After getting rid of the old thief Miyazaki, pokeni has another great producer in the future.

Ayase Akane glanced at him and expressed that she was becoming more and more confused about the president.

…

After August, pokeni's other game "Belt Man" entered the final work.

This game was developed by a small team of only 6 people, with Mika Ishino as the producer, newcomer Jun Asae as the script planner, and artist Yokoyama as the original painting designer.

Small productions, small teams, and members of other departments in the company seemed to have little hope for them.

Furuhara Chunqiu is [no more], and the script was not written by Wada.

It feels like the president is conducting an experiment at a low cost, putting a few [newcomers] together. If it can sell, the results will be even better. If not, it will be regarded as a training for the newcomers.

Yes, new guy.

Mika Ishino serves as producer for the first time.

Ma Zhizhun just graduated this year and only came to the company in April.

As for the artist Yokoyama, although he has been responsible for the art work of several galgames, this is the first time he has officially served as the main artist for independent creation.

What’s even more frightening is that the creation this time was quite difficult.

Because the president must have lost his mind, he actually asked Yokoyama to combine the current Japanese manga style with the French Sambei style to create a new style.

According to Qing Zhiyuan's original words, Guiding Man needs a dreamy sense of innocence, and at the same time, it needs to be combined with the style of "Your Name" to create a unique new game with a neon flavor.

Hengshan said——

Is this something that humans can do?

This requirement is even more excessive than when "Mermaid Heart" was produced.

At that time, it was required to combine horror and suspense for aesthetic healing...

In short, just thinking about it makes Hengshan feel big-headed, and he has the urge to put down his pick every time in the dead of night.

However, when he thought of what Qing Zhiyuan said, "Perhaps this is the most glorious moment in your art career, a work of art," Hengshan felt a fire flowing in his blood.

…

After showing Qing Zhiyuan the original painting style, artist Hengshan was almost scared out of his mind.

Because Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a long time.

The air in the entire conference room was unusually dull, as if it had solidified.

"Wow, this is what I want." Qing Zhiyuan said.

Dreamy feeling.

To be precise, Hengshan used colored pencils and watercolor painting methods to increase the color saturation, giving the entire picture a gorgeous fairy tale color.

As for the character modeling, it is mainly drawn from Japanese comics.

So it looks amazing.

Such works are either masterpieces or works of art and are praised to heaven.

Or it's just a piece of shit, and is criticized as nothing.

It is full of great uncertainty, and the final result may be very dismal, but it is not certain.

Therefore, it seems not unreasonable for the members to suspect that Qing Zhiyuan used "Bed Man" as a test subject.

"Well, it's stable. If this game can be made, no matter whether it's good or bad, it will definitely leave a mark in the history of the game."

Hiss...

Yokoyama said that he could not quite understand what the president said.

What does "no matter good or bad" mean?

Is this stable or unstable?

…
