Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Tokyo.

Ginza.

pokeni co., ltd.

In the president's office.

Qing Zhiyuan sat on the chair, although his eyes were looking at the computer, he had no intention of focusing on it at all.

He crossed his hands and was actually thinking about many new issues.

Now that the games "The Witcher 2" and "Princess Mononoke" have been completed, manpower has been released.

Now Qing Zhiyuan is thinking about what game to arrange for Hidetaka Miyazaki and Shinji Mikami to play next.

He combed it carefully with his eyes closed.

The games currently being developed by the company include the Pokémon series:

Pokémon Racing.

This game is almost at the end now and should be released in the second half of the year.

Pokémon Racing has aroused great expectations from Qing Zhiyuan, hoping that it can compete with Rentian Paradise's Mario Kart.

Qing Zhiyuan is now confident,

Since Renten can make "Super Mario 3D Adventure", many elements are also borrowed from our Pokémon 3D World.

So why can't we make a Pokémon Racer to take out Super Mario Kart.

Although it is a bit cheeky, we have added many original gameplay methods to Pokémon 3D Adventure.

Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh.

Oops, as a time traveler, isn’t it a bit too arrogant?

He himself did not expect that the once arrogant Ren Tiantang would now start to decline. To be precise, Qing Zhiyuan had thought about their decline.

But I didn't expect it to be so fast.

It was like driving downhill and someone stepped on the accelerator.

A few years ago, a small game company like pokeni would not have been qualified to challenge Rentendo.

However, Qing Zhiyuan no longer thinks so. Pokeni has grown up and is now full-fledged. It is time to unseat Ren Tiantang.

It's a pity that the current hardware level is not enough, otherwise he would really like to make another Breath of the Wild game directly, and then successfully snipe Rentendo's The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

There are so many gameplay elements in Breath of the Wild. If it had been released earlier, the whole world would have been shocked.

In addition to Pokémon Racing, a single-player 3D action game is also under development.

It's just that it's different from the action games that everyone usually imagines. After being brainwashed by pokeni, when it comes to 3D action games, most people will probably think of "Princess Mononoke" or "Mononoke" at the first time. "Human 2" is a game that seems to have a deep story, but also has a strong sense of impact, excitement and operability in combat.

But the game pokeni is making is very different.

This game is called "Pokémon: Mysterious Adventures," and boy, it's a little bit similar to Rentendo's "Super Mario 3D Adventure."

But this is a single player game.

Players can control Pikachu to conduct full battles, jump, run, and use skills.

At the same time, it can also be replaced by continuously collecting other Pokémon.

But you can only operate one Pokémon as the main subject at a time.

How to choose different Pokémon and operations according to different situations during the adventure to make the game smoother is a question that players need to consider.

Pokémon is originally a game for all ages. The meaning of "all ages" is actually to lower the age.

Because you have to be backward compatible with younger children.

It is equivalent to a single game adventure.

To a certain extent, "Pokémon: Mysterious Adventure" is Qing Zhiyuan's current version of Zelda's Breath of the Wild.

If you think about it carefully, there are various adventure elements, decryption elements, using Pokémon with different attributes and different skills to deal with different situations. This is indeed a bit like Breath of the Wild.

Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing.

Of course, it is still far away from the Breath of the Wild in his mind, which is a great game that combines sandbox games and various chemical reaction elements to create a new game mode.

Today's hardware simply cannot support such a game. If you think about it, just a flame blowing in the wind can burn a large piece of grass. This thing can bring Sony's PS to a halt.

So we still have to wait for the power of time.

However, in Qing Zhiyuan's view, it is enough for "Pokémon: Mystery Adventure" to reach its current level and have a high enough richness of gameplay.

Another textbook-like game that the whole world can learn from.

And, speaking of puzzle mode.

There may be games like Detective Pikachu in the future.

I wonder how Mr. Hiroshi Yamauchi will feel when he sees a large wave of Pokémon appearing when these Pokémon games are hatched and released into the game market?

Just imagining Yamauchi Hiroshi and Miyamoto Shigeru being furious made Qing Zhiyuan feel a little happy inexplicably.

Sorry, Scorpio is so narrow-minded.

…

Apart from the Pokémon series, the only game currently under development by the company is "86 - The Non-Existent War Zone", a war chess game led by Mika Ishino and developed by Junrai Asae as the script writer.

Qing Zhiyuan still has great expectations for this.

The game is actually in the final stage of fixing bugs and is expected to be put into the market soon.

After that, the manpower of Mika Ishino and Jun Asae will be released, and a new game is waiting for them.

…

These games are all expected to be launched on the market within this year, and have almost all been developed.

There are still a few completely new games left that have just been started and may take another year or two or even longer to be completed.

One is "Mushishi". This game was directed by Qing Zhiyuan himself, using the name of Furuhara Chunqiu.

Furuhara Chunqiu seems to have disappeared from players' sight for more than a year. This name has not been used since LL.

It's also time for Gu Yuan to increase his presence, otherwise if the players forget about him, the company will lose a signature character.

However, this also means that Qing Zhiyuan's work status will become more busy and tense in the future.

In addition to serving as the president of pokeni and controlling the overall situation, he also has to have various entertainments and accumulate contacts. Moreover, Yuehe Company has just started to start, which is when the company needs him and Tsuda to devote their energy to it. .

Under such circumstances, it is actually very difficult to be a game producer at the same time.

I just hope that Tsuda and Hitotsubashi Fumie on Yuehe's side can take more responsibility and run Yuehe smoothly. According to Qing Zhiyuan's idea, he will be more involved in the establishment of roles and film and television projects in the future. Specifically There is not so much time and energy to take care of the production process.

Moreover, Tsuda also has something he wants to do, and he is not completely dependent on Qing Zhiyuan.

He also has movies and TV series he wants to make, but he is more concerned about the linkage in games.

The game "Mushishi" uses the aesthetic Japanese comic style and follows the route of "Princess Mononoke". However, in the game mode, except for the more demanding requirement of a large map, there is not much else. Development difficulty.

What's more, it just requires developers to pay attention.

In addition to the early start of the insect master, the company also has another product, which is expected to take a longer time and cycle to produce -

"monster hunter"

Hideki Kamiya is now in charge of this game, and I don’t know what it will be like.

Fortunately, there is Shinji Mikami as a supervisor. As long as Mikami's energy is not distracted, he can still control the quality and process to some extent.

Monster Hunter is the company's first development of a large world with multiple ecological food chains, multi-dimensionality, high richness, more playability and explorability, and it also takes into account collection and production elements... such a large-scale game.

It is really not easy to complete the development.

What Qing Zhiyuan is even more looking forward to is that in this game, Kamiya Hideki can fully grow and grow into the next Miyazaki Hidetaka.

…

ah! Thinking about it this way, the company's existing games are basically all large-scale productions, and there are quite a lot of them.

The task is daunting, but the future is also infinitely bright.

With Qing Zhiyuan’s overall control and acceptance, generally speaking, there won’t be any big problems with the game unless there are problems with his own judgment.

In short, the company's situation is very good, not a small good, nor a medium good, but a great good!

Qing Zhiyuan is looking forward to the company's games more and more.

At the moment, Qing Zhiyuan was thinking about what Mikami and the others should do.

…

Just when Qing Zhiyuan was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Enter."

"President, do you have time now? We have prepared a new plan and want you to take a look."

Shinji Mikami, Gen Urobuchi and Hidetaka Miyazaki filed in, and finally it was Shinji Mikami who handed their newly created [Project] to Qing Zhiyuan.

Qing Zhiyuan raised his head and couldn't help but laugh when he saw the person coming.

What is this called?

If you want to sleep, someone will hand you a pillow.

The subjective initiative of these guys has come up.

Shinji Mikami, who has now been promoted to supervisor, has begun to play the role of Qing Zhiyuan. Without any urging from him, Mikami hurriedly started preparing the project.

Mikami must open more projects. No matter what, it feels too uncomfortable to be pushed by the president with a whip every time.

This time they took the initiative.

…

Qing Zhiyuan lowered his head and glanced at the plan book on the table. There were a few big words written on the cover -

"Journey to the Dragon"

The game itself is an imaginary world, somewhat similar to Princess Mononoke.

In this world, the place where the heroine lives is a place full of suffering that is short of water all year round.

Half of it is desert and the other half is grassland, but the weeds on the grassland are also decreasing year by year, making people's lives more and more difficult.

Generally speaking, the word "water shortage" is highlighted.

However, many, many years ago, this place was not a barren desert, but a fertile land with abundant water plants and lush forests.

According to legend, it was the death of the Dragon God who was responsible for raining in the village, coupled with people's over-exploitation and destruction, that led to a series of desertification and disasters.

After hearing such a legend, the heroine resolutely embarked on a journey to find the dragon. She must bring back the [Dragon God] who can bring rain and hope to the village so that people can live a better life.

Next, there are all the fantastic stories that the heroine experienced in the process of searching for the dragon.

Of course, there are still many places that reveal dark humanity and make people feel desperate.

Especially when he saw the end of the story, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel chilled.

It feels like it starts with [Miyazaki Hayao] and ends with Urobuchi Gen.

As expected of you, Lao Xu.

Read it again,

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh.

"Journey to the Dragon" is so well written that it almost doesn't look like Lao Xu's style.

I don’t know if it’s because after this guy got married, there was really a lot of nihilistic love in his heart that didn’t exist before, but it became like a fairy tale. In this game project, there is a lot of fantasy and romance everywhere. Atmosphere.

If anything, Qing Zhiyuan can only think that Lao Xu has found true love, which has caused a subtle change in his heart.

It’s really hard to say whose style it resembles.

Probably more like Shinjin Makoto's.

In other words, it's more like Hayao Miyazaki's style.

If this game is used as a sequel to "Princess Mononoke", it will really be a very qualified animated movie.

It's a pity that Studio Ghibli probably won't be able to package this animated movie.

Everyone makes their own original animations.

But...

An idea flashed in Qing Zhiyuan's mind.

"It's great. It's so well written that it could be made into an independent animated film."

"Thank you, President." Xu Yuanxuan smiled, and several people breathed a sigh of relief.

"So what are you going to do with this game??"

Shinji Mikami and Hidetaka Miyazaki looked at each other and said, "President, here's what we think about it. Dragon Quest may be more of an animated movie style in general. If that's the case.

We are going to use the gameplay model from the previous "Princess Mononoke".

The specific content is written in the plan. "

Qing Zhiyuan turned over it, and it was really true.

All I can say is that everyone wanted to go together.

"If that's the case, then there is no problem on my side. You can start making preparations." Qing Zhiyuan nodded.

After a few people left, President Qing Zhiyuan showed a happy smile on his face:

Ah, it is really not easy. I have developed a sense of accomplishment.

Now these guys can take the initiative to do things, and they are more in line with their own ideas than Qing Zhiyuan imagined.

Geniuses who are growing faster and faster may one day no longer need me.

Qing Zhiyuan thought so.

…

After everything was arranged, Qing Zhiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least he had to ensure that P Club could continue to produce several excellent games every year.

And according to the company's current expansion scale, it is not certain that it will develop dozens of games at the same time a year in the future.

The current development costs are still controllable, but if we enter the terrifying 3A large-scale production period in the future, the resources and money consumed for each game, as well as the number of developers, will increase exponentially.

When Qing Zhiyuan thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

It's over, it's over, the game industry is going to be rolled up by me.

Qing Zhiyuan sat on the chair and laughed sadly.

Akane Ayase took a look outside the door, and her heart went crazy.

It's over, it's over, the president started laughing like a villain again.

Akanishi-senpai and Sakata-senpai may have new things to do.

I also have a new job to be busy with.

…
