Chapter 1 1. What kind of game is good?
Galgame, also known as the beautiful girl game.

It is a video game in which players can interact with beautiful anime girls. Its audience used to be neon men, but with the development of the GalGame story for all ages, the audience is no longer gender-neutral.

Most of the game types of galgame are vng (visual novels) but there are also interactive galgames.

To put it simply, it is an interactive game for falling in love with beautiful girls.

……

1990, October.

Tokyo, Pokeni Co., Ltd.

The atmosphere inside the company is very dignified, and faint sighs can be heard from time to time.

"It feels like the outlook is bleak."

"Isn't it? The company has just started and is going to die?"

"This time it should be completely hopeless. The sales of this game are not good, and with this unlucky economic situation, the company might go bankrupt."

"Yeah, who would have thought that last year's economic situation was so good, but this year it's like jumping off the roof of a building."

"Really? I don't want the company to go bankrupt. I still have a family to support. If I lose my job at this time..."

……

At the same time, inside the president's office.

Qing Zhiyuan was also sighing, but the reasons for his sighing were different from those of the employees outside.

"What happened to this shit? It's okay to be reborn, but you were reborn in an island country, and your parents died, you have no car, no house, and you owe a lot of debt?"

Yes, Qing Zhiyuan was reborn.

The current time is April 1990, 4, not the magic capital of China in 1 that he is familiar with, and his current identity is the president of Pokeni Corporation.

In this parallel world of neon, the economic bubble burst last year, and the whole country was mourning. It suddenly fell from the peak to the bottom. Until now, there are homeless homeless people everywhere on the streets because of company bankruptcy.

Pokeni, a small game company, has almost fallen to the brink of bankruptcy after the failure of its last game. It is still unclear whether it will be able to pay employees' salaries on time next month.

"Ah...it's difficult to start in hell, otherwise I'd better find a job after bankruptcy."

Qing Zhiyuan frowned uncomfortably, and hugged his hands bitterly.

But that being said, Qing Zhiyuan still can only choose to make games. If possible, it is best to continue the company.

It is impossible to work part-time in this life.

In 1990, after the economic bubble burst in the island country, countless people were pessimistic and desperate, their willingness to consume dropped significantly, countless companies went bankrupt, and countless industries fell into the abyss. However, a few of them went against the trend.

Gaming is one of them.

Although the islanders have entered an era of economic stagnation and sluggish consumption desire since then, this has also become a golden age for the development of the game industry.

Games will become the largest and most consumed product for countless dead houses and cashiers in the island nation in the next few decades.

……

What's more, Qing Zhiyuan's previous job was to make games.

Before his rebirth, his identity was the main program of a Two-dimensional project of MiHoYo Company. The technology must not be said. He is also one of the main developers of MiHoYo's animation engine, and he has a great understanding of the game. He has great enthusiasm, and the company's main focus is Two-dimensional, which is more suitable for island games, so making games in this life is like a fish in water for him.

What surprised Qing Zhiyuan even more was that the original owner of this body had a strong drawing ability before he became the producer.

well.

My programming ability, plus a lot of game experience, super drawing skills, advanced aesthetics of the future world...

The corners of Qing Zhiyuan's mouth rose slightly.

There is no possibility of failure in playing games in this life.

……

"Pokeni is in danger now, we have to find a way to save it."

The most urgent thing at the moment is to get an investment. Let alone other things, at least the plan must be done first.

"I have to think about copying first, ah bah, which game is better to make first."

There are many 3A masterpieces in Qing Zhiyuan's mind, but 3A masterpieces have several fatal shortcomings: they require a lot of people, a lot of money, and a lot of time.

Yes, that's basically the definition of 3A as well.

To put it simply, general 3A masterpieces refer to high-cost, high-volume, high-quality games.

Qing Zhiyuan, a game like Red Dead Redemption 2, which cost 56 billion yuan and took nearly 8 years to develop, is unthinkable.

What Qingzhiyuan can grasp most is high quality.

He turned on the computer, created a new txt file, and wrote a line on it:

"The Legend of Sword and Fairy"

……

The first thing Qing Zhiyuan thought of was the game "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

"Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a domestic stand-alone Chinese role-playing computer game released by Daewoo Information Institute in 95. Because of the grand story background, it is full of unique Chinese martial arts fantasy colors, plus touching and healing stories. , has achieved a generation of classics.

The results of Xian 1 are actually very good. The sales volume in China’s Baodao is more than 20. Later, it was planned to be transplanted to Sega ss to enter the island market. Unfortunately, Sega failed to live up to it and lost in the competition with Nintendo’s console. Xianjian did not achieve good results in SS.

Apart from cultural differences, it can only be said that the luck is not good, but it does not mean that the fairy sword is not good.

In Qing Zhiyuan's view, human emotions are interlinked. "Clannad", an animation with obvious island characteristics, can still move Chinese people. Why can't Xianjian?

If the production level of the DOS version of Fairy Sword was still far from the international mainstream, then now Qingzhiyuan is standing above the world mainstream. With Pokeni's current research and development strength, the development effect on FC may not be good. It could be better, as long as the characters are well-drawn.

In addition, there is another very important reason why it is "Legend of Sword and Fairy": Although the new work "Sword Heart" just released by Pokeni has hit the market, this game is an out-and-out turn-based RPG game .

Turn-based, RPG, swordsman...these are all very compatible with "Legend of Sword and Fairy", which can save at least half of the time on game development. At least most of the work on the program side has been completed, and the rest is the art. Rebuild it, replace it with another story and process, and add some details to make it perfect.

And the fairy sword series, especially the story of fairy sword 1, will definitely impress investors.

……

After staying up all night, Qing Zhiyuan briefly wrote an outline of the story of the Immortal Sword, and made character settings and descriptions in it, and then called the company's copywriting planner, Mika Ishino, into the conference room.

"President, what's the matter?"

Ishino is a petite girl in her 20s, wearing a pair of round-frame glasses, and a white sweater that wraps a plump figure that does not match her appearance.

Her voice was not loud, but Qing Zhiyuan could hear it clearly.

He looked up at her and handed her the printed document.

"Let's take a look, if you can write this story well, I'm going to make a business proposal and seek investment."

"Hey?"

Ishino's eyes lit up, so the company doesn't have to go bankrupt, and I don't have to lose my job?
