Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 223 127. A beautiful glance

Posts will not be deleted even if they are deleted, Qing Zhiyuan still wants to keep these posts for whipping corpses.

But in the forum announcement, he added a reminder of "Please speak in a friendly manner".

Unexpectedly, this friendly reminder was once again attacked by players.

"Hahaha, when I woke up today, I found that there was an additional reminder in the forum announcement asking everyone to speak kindly.

I thought it was something.

Didn't we speak kindly enough and didn't say bad words or anything like that? "

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but frowned when he saw this post.

Can you still be considered friendly if you use words like Nisnei?

Then it is written below:

"This is pokeni's official forum, right? I saw in the announcement that players can speak freely and comment on the game.

Since this is the case, then it should be the most basic principle that if a game is well done, it should be praised, and if the game is not well done, it should be criticized, right?

We are just stating the facts.

If it turns out that I was wrong in the future, I will definitely apologize for what I said. "

Posted off!

Qing Zhiyuan was so filled with hatred that he also remembered this [Time Agent] guy.

Just wait for me!

…

Whether this publicity campaign has a good reputation or not is another matter.

But the publicity effect is in place. Whether you play games or not, everyone has basically heard of the CLANNAD game.

People in the industry are not very optimistic about the game because it failed to meet their expectations, but they also know about this game. Whether they have played galgame before or not, they have some understanding of recent events.

Especially pokeni opened a forum specifically for criticism, which made everyone laugh out loud.

Outsiders are more tolerant than people inside the circle.

After all, people who play a lot of games will naturally be knowledgeable and can tell at a glance which games are good and which ones are not.

I can’t say that CLANNAD is not good, but the information given by PV is indeed a bit too mediocre.

Although I don’t want to use the word mediocre, that’s what the players think in their hearts.

As for outsiders, they are mainly some of Hayao Miyazaki's tap water.

Because I have watched Hayao Miyazaki's animations before, I really like his works. This time I heard that Hayao Miyazaki was going to participate in the production of games, so I was naturally very excited.

For those who have not experienced galgame, CLANNAD's PV is actually pretty good. Hayao Miyazaki's painting style and beautiful music give people a warm and sad feeling.

This is quite different from Hayao Miyazaki's previous works, so many players outside the industry have expressed curiosity about this game.

For no other reason than to give Hayao Miyazaki face.

…

Toshihiko Kawasaki is one such player.

To be precise, although he bought the MD-CD, he didn't have much time to experience the game because his work required him to travel frequently, flying between Neon and the Philippines, and sometimes flying to the United States.

Expanding business for the company is a very typical sales activity.

But because of this job, he has been to many countries, from China in Asia, to the cold countries, and then to France in Europe...

He had the pleasure of visiting a range of countries.

Although business travel is tiring, you may experience exotic customs and appreciate local cultural characteristics, which is a great life experience.

In the Nordic region, he once saw the castles written by Hayao Miyazaki.

I also saw the filming location of "Kiki's Delivery Service":

"Kiki's Delivery Service" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Eiko Kadono. The story takes place in a fictional country in Northern Europe.

Therefore, when remaking it into an animation, Hayao Miyazaki placed the main locations for filming in two cities in Sweden, Stockholm and Visby.

Creek, a small seaside town where Kiki is located, is a mixture of these two cities.

In short, Toshihiko Kawasaki himself can't say whether he fell in love with Miyazaki's animations because he fell in love with the scenery around the world after watching his animations, or whether he fell in love with Miyazaki's animations because he likes scenic spots and historic sites around the world.

When he came to his senses, he had become a loyal fan of Hayao Miyazaki.

The more you know about human history, the more you admire Hayao Miyazaki, a painting master with a high ideological realm who can think about problems from a human perspective.

…

This time it is rare to have a holiday to stay in Neon.

There is about a month where you don’t have to do anything and enjoy life freely.

It was mid-August.

Just after returning from the Philippines, Toshihiko Kawasaki heard about the game CLANNAD. What was even more rare was the fact that Hayao Miyazaki was the painting director. He immediately said he must play this game.

What’s even more touching is that the release date will be September 5th in the near future.

So it was all such a coincidence.

Kawasaki Toshihiko feels that he is really lucky.

There were some knowledgeable gamers around. When they heard that Toshihiko Kawasaki wanted to buy the CLANNAD game, they all expressed their willingness to persuade him.

"This game is for galgame, and it's not on the shelves yet. Many players are doubtful about the actual game experience. Why don't you wait and see more?"

This is also the attitude of most galgame players. Although they like it very much and are willing to believe in the combination of Tsubaki Furuhara and Hayao Miyazaki, the PV makes people afraid to buy it immediately.

It’s better to wait and see and see what other people say about the game after experiencing it.

If the game is good enough and can get a good reputation, it’s not too late to buy it at that time.

But Toshihiko Kawasaki said, "I don't have a long vacation, so I don't have time to wait and see. And isn't this the painting supervisor of Master Hayao Miyazaki? It must be good."

"But it's a galgame, and it might be a bad street kind." Tomoya continued to persuade.

"Galgame?" Toshihiko Kawasaki frowned and thought for a second, then said with a smile:

"What a coincidence, I like this kind of game. I have played galgame before, but not much, so it is still new to me."

Kawasaki Toshihiko said that on the one hand, he does not have much time to play games, and on the other hand, he is quite picky about the style of the game.

So I rarely play galgame, and this time I went for Hayao Miyazaki.

"Oh, why don't you listen? If you want to experience galgame, there are a lot of high-quality ones on the market, even pokeni's works. There are many to play.

For example, "Your Name", "Bedding Man" and so on. "

"But they were not painted by Hayao Miyazaki."

Kawasaki Toshihiko replied.

Tomoya was slightly stunned and didn't know how to refute for a moment.

Seeing that this person is so stubborn, there is no need to continue to persuade him.

"You may regret it later."

"How much regret can I have? This game will sell for 10,000 yuan."

"Well……"

Tomoya fell silent.

It can only be said that this guy from Kawasaki is a very ideal consumer.

As long as he believes in something, he doesn't care about money at all.

…

Although the waiting time is long, it is also fleeting.

September 5th came soon.

On this day pokeni's new work "CLANNAD" is officially released.

Although Kawasaki said he was looking forward to this game, the recent jet lag made him so sleepy that he even forgot about it for a while.

It wasn't until he saw the game commercials interspersed in TV programs that he remembered.

It seems that "CLANNAD", which master Hayao Miyazaki participated in the production of, will be released today.

So I quickly put on my clothes and shoes, and hurried to the nearby game store.

"It's broken, it's broken. Master Hayao Miyazaki's works must have been snatched up, right?"

He still understands the appeal of Hayao Shibazaki.

According to Kawasaki’s guess——

For such a popular game, there must be a long queue at the door.

I was already late, so I didn't know what time it would be when I arrived.

It’s possible that the game will be sold out by the time it’s scheduled.

However, when Toshihiko Kawasaki came to the door of the sales store, he found that there seemed to be few people there.

No need to queue up either.

Al?

Why is this a scene?

"Store manager, today is the launch day of CLANNAD, right?" Kawasaki Toshihiko asked.

The store manager is a fat, middle-aged man in uniform with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face. He was slightly startled when he heard the word CLANNAD.

There seemed to be a little bit of surprise.

There are two reasons for surprise.

The first one is that you don’t even know what the hell word CLANNAD is or what country it means, but this person can actually say it in one sentence and speak it so fluently.

According to pokeni official statement, CLANNAD is the abbreviation of Celtic CLANN As Dango.

It refers to family, family, family, and affection. Of course, it can also be understood as a family in a broader sense, that is, the entire town where the characters live.

Neon people say that foreign languages ​​are inherently difficult and have a strange flavor.

But it is rare for this tall young man to speak so fluently.

The second one, this person actually came to buy CLANNAD, it was like seeing a ghost.

Since the release of the PV, players' expectations have been forcibly lowered, causing many people to wait and see.

It’s not that I don’t want to buy it, I just want to wait for other people to experience it first and then buy it based on their feedback.

Belongs to the swing type among players.

There are not many very staunch pokeni fans.

This is why so far today, even though it is the release day of P Club's new game, not many people have come to buy it.

The store manager himself felt that the game might be on the verge of collapse, and he didn’t know how much money the president would lose.

It's really surprising that someone suddenly wants to buy CLANNAD.

But the store manager is a professional after all. He quickly adjusted his expression and smiled, "Yes, today is the release day of CLANNAD. This is a joint work of masters Tsubaki Furuhara and Hayao Miyazaki."

It was just released today, and although the disc has been in stock a few days ago, the store manager himself didn’t have time to experience it.

So what can be said is basically the biggest selling point in public perception:

Tsubaki Furuhara and Hayao Miyazaki are not enough.

That makes no sense.

Who knew that the young man in front of him would light up when he heard this.

"Yes, that's what you want."

Well……

The store manager hesitated for a second, then raised his finger and said, "The shelf in the middle, the top layer, is all CLANNAD."

This time the president purchased a very large quantity, 100,000 copies were ordered at once, so most of the warehouse and shelves were used to place CLANNAD.

But judging from the current situation, it seems not very optimistic.

…

Got guidance from the store manager.

Toshihiko Kawasaki quickly found "CLANNAD" on the shelf

Gently wiping the cover with his sleeve, Toshihiko Kawasaki laughed happily.

On the cover are two girls, one older and one younger, holding each other's hands.

The older one had a ponytail and was wearing a long white dress with a bow tie.

The younger one was dressed in children's clothing and wearing a sun hat.

In the distance is blue sky and white clouds.

There are a few lines of small words written below:

【CLANNAD

It will bring you the feeling of being touched by light in the darkness]

【Produced by pokeni Co., Ltd.】

[Producer: Tsubaki Furuhara] [Animation Supervisor: Hayao Miyazaki] [Script: Jun Asae]

Although Qing Zhiyuan was the original author of the script, the specific perfection was left to Ma Zhijun, and Qing Zhiyuan did not want to be signed in this column, so the script author used Ma Zhijun's name.

When he heard about this decision, Maeda was both happy and frightened.

What makes me happy is, "I, He Dehe, can take the name of Mr. Furuhara Chunqiu and become the script author? This story is not originally my own. I just processed it on my behalf and refined it to become more specific."

The fear is: "This game is so heart-breaking. Then I will become the guy who is hated by thousands of people and will be sent a razor blade."

After sharing the damage caused by Teacher Furuhara, Jun Maeda expressed that he couldn't laugh or cry.

…

Kawasaki Toshihiko took a deep breath.

Some of the packaging is exceptionally exquisite. Just by looking at the cover of this box, you can immediately understand——

Hayao Miyazaki style.

It's really a beautiful sight.

"Yes, this is what I want!"
