Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 119 21. Is Guyuan Chunqiu a god?
Not long after the release of the game "Reversed Person", many girls began to try this game because of Guo Letong's previous report on the game "Girls are also very suitable".

After the experience, the girls gave a very high evaluation.

"I didn't have any hope for this type of game, but now I'm in the pit. I didn't expect that galgame games can be so delicate, the time reversal shown in the perspective of the heroine, all the changes around, and the relationship between the hero and the hero. The love between... is really touching.

In the final ending, the two people couldn't be together because of time, which is really heartbreaking.

However, at the same time, I am also very fortunate that in this era and in such a country, there are such conscientious producers who can make games from the perspective of girls.

Although I've heard that pokeni is known for its cruelty and tear-jerking, but I didn't really realize this until I played "The Man of Reverse Degree".

The works that can really make players shed tears must be games that cost the developers the hard work.

At least if you can move yourself, you can move the players.

Pokeni is really good. "

"As a girl, I have always been very resistant to games like galgames, because basically before P club games came out, most of the galgames on the market, or even [-]% of them, were male-oriented. Games made for the main body.

In it, the dignity of girls is trampled on wantonly, and the girls turn their backs on boys...

Such episodes abound.

But pokeni is different. In the game "Reverse Person", what I can feel is the respect that the development team has for girls.

I have experienced both perspectives of the male and female protagonists, and I didn’t find any unfairness. Whether it is the male protagonist’s perspective or the female protagonist’s perspective, it can be said that they are all well-made.

Let us truly feel a person's complete life from it, and we can sigh for it and shed tears for it.

To do this is already quite remarkable. "

"Girls can also play galgame, I was skeptical at first, after all, there is no game in the world that can really do this.

But "The Reversed Man" really subverted my three views, in a positive sense.

I can experience the beauty of that kind of love from the game, and at the same time, I can sigh and cry when I lose it and get it back, and I can also feel sad when I get it and lose it again.

A work of flesh and blood, this is my evaluation of "The Man in Reverse Degree".

Thanks to pokeni for making such a beautiful and touching work, thanks to Guyuan Chunqiu, and thanks to Xu Yuanxuan. "

""The Man of Reverse Degree" can be regarded as my galgame entry, I was really moved by the work, and reading those beautiful words is really a brand new experience.

Gained happiness and also gained sadness.

The reverse life is also life.

Fortunately, in such a lonely time countercurrent, the hero and heroine met each other.

I can feel the sincere emotions and the hard work of the development team.

Whether it is from the brain hole or the plot, it is very satisfying.

However, I still have to say-

go to hell!
Ancient Yuan Chunqiu! "

"Reverse Person" is the only galgame that can be praised by most girls.

And taking this as an opportunity, the female market was expanded. After the word-of-mouth exploded, the game "Reverse Degree" attracted a large number of female fans.

Of course, the price it brings is——

Now not only male players want to scold Gu Yuan Chunqiu, girls also want to scold Gu Yuan Chunqiu.

More people sent blades.

There is no one who can cause resentment among players of two groups at the same time.

But Qing Zhiyuan was unusually calm.

What Guyuan Chunqiu did has nothing to do with me, Qing Zhiyuan?

Xu Yuanxuan is also very calm, anyway, there is Gu Yuan Chunqiu carrying it in front, not to mention——

What Urobuchi did has nothing to do with me and Tian?
……

Once "Man in Reverse Degree" was released, it achieved extremely hot results.

In the first week, the sales volume exceeded 10 copies. According to this momentum, it is very likely to reach 50 copies within this year.

The galgame of Pokeni Co., Ltd. can be said to have created a new era, and the company is still making breakthroughs on this basis.

In the previous life, the 90s was originally the blowout period of galgame.

Pokeni is in line with the general trend of the times.

Prior to this, most of the galgames were simple and rude games that did not require thinking at all, and they were even criticized by the news for being too simple and rude, resulting in continuous losses in the industry.

The emergence of pokeni has made people re-examine the category of galgame, and feel that if the game can bring players the feeling of love and express pure and beautiful love, then it is quite good.

Any game, as long as it has the correct three views and can guide players to feel happiness, then such a game is valuable.

Up to now, not only people in the world have understood this truth, but Qing Zhiyuan has also readily accepted it.

Galgame is not heinous, the key lies in how you create and apply it.

"Ah... Furuhara Chunqiu, is he a god? He even has such an artful haircut?" In the Spirit Club, the president Hiruta Masato couldn't help but sigh in admiration after experiencing the game "The Man of the Reverse Degree". .

From the 90s to around 2000, it was the period of rapid development of galgame, even the golden period. Later, many games that were talked about by players were born in this period of time.

The beginning of the previous life was the "Students" of the Spirit Club, and the beginning of this life is the "Onmyoji" of the P Club

"Man of the Reverse Degree" is already considered a masterpiece in the field of galgames.

It's enough to define a new galgame genre.

There are two kinds of people in the world, one is men and the other is women.

The market for men is huge, but the market for women is even bigger. Being able to attract girls to play games is already surprising enough, and it is even more a miracle that it can be generally praised by female players.

Maybe in the future, p society will become a holy place for girls to make games.

Thinking of this, Masato Hiruta admired him even more.

What he admires even more is that pokeni transcends the limitations of the times, its vision and creativity beyond the times.

"It turns out that Guyuan Chunqiu has reached the realm where no sword is better than a sword."

According to the previous dismantling of the games of the p club by the elf club, I think there are several key elements in it——

Love, death, creativity.

This is very similar to the concept of the future science fiction production drama [Love] [Death] [Robot].

Love is an emotion that represents a human being, something beautiful.

Death is a symbol of destruction, destruction, and violence.

Robots represent fantasy, the future, and human creativity.

In this era, it is not easy for Hiruta Masato to comprehend these things from the works of P company.

But until now, he found that he didn't understand enough.

In "People in Reverse Degrees", the male and female protagonists are living well, and they all have a beautiful life for each other. If there is no time reversal, they might never be able to be together.

It's like two parallel lines that never meet.

However, after removing the concept of "death", the work is more vivid and moving.

Thinking of this, Masato Hiruta felt that he was still a student, and there was really too much to learn from Teacher Guyuan Chunqiu.

Moreover, this script writer named Urobuchi Gen, who can grow to such a degree after joining P Agency, is really scary.

"When will we be able to make such a high-level galgame?"

……

On Rentiantang's side, as the future successor, Shigeru Miyamoto, the mainstay, was shocked after reading the report about "The Man of the Reverse Degree" and secretly experiencing it himself.

Because before that, under the influence of the president Hiroshi Yamauchi, he accepted the concept of making games that can bring happiness to children.

Game for all ages.

But I never thought that "The Man of the Reverse Degree" looks older, but can explain the depth of emotions in such a good game, it can be so moving.

"Does the design concept need to be updated?"

What makes players feel good is not necessarily joy, but also sadness?
……

Although Pokeni is still a younger brother in the entire game field, and can't even be ranked, he is a god-like existence in the galgame field.

It has now been raised to new heights.

Guyuan Chunqiu also boarded the altar of galgame.

Countless galgame game makers regard the game works of P company as classics, and they are classic works that must be studied in game development.

……

At the same time, Famitone was condemned by the players for only giving "The Reverse Man" an ultra-low score of 22 points.

"Is Famiton out of his mind? Such a good game, such a touching game, all of you editors are people without empathy, right? You can only give 22 points for rubbish, which is not fair at all. !"

"Although it's my first time playing galgame, I have to say that "The Reverse Man" has exceeded my expectations too much. Can a work like this touch people's hearts and move people's hearts? Shouldn't it become a classic and be selected into the Platinum Hall ?

Even if that wasn't the case, with an ultra-low score of 22 points, it wouldn't be justified, right? "

"What do people from Famitsu think, only give a score of 22 points?"

"I don't accept it. I need to see Famiton's changes. I can't be wronged because of some old score evaluation mechanism. Such a good work as "Reverse Degree Man"."

"You actually told me that a game that can exceed 10 sales in a week is only worth 22 points?"

……

The pressure on Famiton is also extremely high.

The editors felt extremely wronged.

In terms of storytelling and touching, "Reverse Man" is undoubtedly a very great work. It is a grievance to be selected into the Platinum Hall. After all, it can be recognized by a wide range of players and earn so much money. tears.

In the game, the narrative techniques and story settings adopted by the reverse-degree people are unprecedented, and the screen is also impeccable.

But among the ratings, the most important item——

gameplay.

In this respect, "Reverse Degree Man" is unqualified.

At least the editors can't give a high score on the gameplay without conscience. A game that can only be expressed through graphics and allows players to choose through dialogue cannot be recognized in terms of gameplay anyway.

Creativity will inevitably be discounted.

After all, before this, Pokeni's "Mermaid Heart" has created this category of electronic visual novels.

Then when it comes to "The Man of Reverse Degree", some points will inevitably be deducted.

No matter how you calculate, you can only give 22 points.

But this is already a perfect score in terms of plot, picture and quality.

The editors expressed incompetence, even some innocence.

"Chief editor, can you find a way to talk to the president of pokeni, asking them to make galgames in the future can improve the gameplay, or——

Just use such a good script to make some other types of games.

Even if it's a turn-based game, wouldn't it be great like the previous Onmyoji?
Otherwise, if it's always electronic novels, we can't stand the ratings.

Always give people a kind of——

Famiton's editors are not up to standard, and they don't understand the essence of the game at all. It is an illusion that they want to give a low score even though the sales volume is so high.

In the long run, it will not be good for Famitone's reputation, right? "

The sales volume is high, but the score is very low. This is also a strange thing in the game circle. Even the editors of Famitone's score are a little bit uncomfortable.

"Yeah, originally Famitone's purpose was to speak for the players and measure the quality of the game from the perspective of the players, but now because of the pokeni games are too weird.

As for the strengths, it can be described as reaching the pinnacle, and it is not an exaggeration to put it in the altar.

The shortcoming is really amazing, and it even makes people doubt whether this can be called a game.

Stuff like this, seriously, is killing us for judgment. "

"Yes, yes, P Club's approach is tantamount to putting us on fire. Isn't our rating unfair? But, then again, can a fair rating really win people's hearts?"

Before this, Famiton's editors had never encountered such a problem, or even thought about it.

A game that can be highly praised by players and also achieve huge commercial success, but such a game has a fatal flaw, does it really exist?
It’s still Pokeni that plays well and can develop such a game. At the same time, it has given Famitone’s editors a big problem.

Editor Nagahama Murahiro frowned twice.

A practice like pookeni is simply unheard of.

The feedback from the editors is also very real. It can be said that P Agency has hit the pain point solidly. Who would have thought that in the development of the times, there will be a rebellious son of P Agency, and they will produce works with such weird and clear advantages and disadvantages.

This is equivalent to an amazing 3-pointer in the NBA. He can score more than 50 points in a game, but he is a monster with 0 points on the defensive end.

Is such a monster worth it?

So far, Hamamura Koichi is unable to judge, but judging from the reaction of players and the market——

Between Famitone's scoring standards and P Agency, there is always a dead end.

In other words, there is always a need to make changes and compromises.

"Well... I see, I will consider responding to the president." Hamamura Hongichi said seriously.

……

So Qing Zhiyuan was soon invited by Famitone's president to have a meal.

During the meeting, the other party persuaded him earnestly, hoping that Qing Zhiyuan would consider making some more games with gameplay. It is rare to have such a powerful script, and it would be a pity if it is only used for watching.

Qing Zhiyuan said, "We will consider it."

After returning to pokeni, Qing Zhiyuan called Xu Yuanxuan into the president's office.

Persuaded earnestly, "Hetian-san, in the future, if you make games, can you consider more gameplay issues in the script? Think about it, if the game is only used for reading and appreciation, I always feel that it is in the sense of substitution. Something is missing.

Why don't we make a game that is great in terms of scripting and gameplay?

If this continues, if it is always the form of visual novel, players will get bored of it one day, right? "

"Or, you don't have the ability to write beautiful scripts in a strong game environment?"

Xu Yuanxuan was a little jealous after being stimulated.

What Qing Zhiyuan said was not unreasonable.

To put it bluntly, visual novels are actually equivalent to sacrificing other things to embody the script.

"A game completely serving the script, and a script serving the game are two different things." Qing Zhiyuan said somewhat harshly.

Xu Yuanxuan clenched his fists tightly and tightly.

"Well. I think what the president said is very reasonable, and I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Okay." Qing Zhiyuan nodded, hoping that this guy wouldn't be so stimulated that he would lose his fighting spirit.

But in the next second, Xu Yuanxuan smiled hippie.

"President, you don't have to worry about this at all. Mikami-san and I are already starting to prepare the proposal for the next game."

Nima's.

"Please don't spoil Mikami-san, okay?"

"Diablo 2 still needs him." Qing Zhiyuan said.

Xu Yuanxuan stepped back half a step, looked at Qing Zhiyuan in disbelief, and carefully suffered ten thousand points of damage.

"President, is it too much for you to say this?"

"Uh, is it a project need?" Qing Zhiyuan explained, "Different projects have different needs for planning. Where does Mikami-san have time to make new games?"

"Anyway, Mikami and I had a drink before, and once we talked about a particularly interesting topic, and then we thought, can this be a game." Gen Urobuchi said with a smile, "So the prototype of this game was born. , and you will know in a few days after I show it to you.

Definitely a good game. "

Qing Zhiyuan frowned twice.

This guy, is it sometimes because I spoil him too much that he acts recklessly?
After finally training Mikami, I was expecting him to succeed me as the producer of Diablo 2, and to become the supervisor of a certain department in the future, but now he was bewitched by Urobuchi Gen and left?

But, to be honest, Qing Zhiyuan is looking forward to what the new work he and Shinji Mikami will create together will look like.

But even so, where did we get the manpower?
"Okay, but let me tell you first, if your proposal fails to get my approval, you will obediently listen to my arrangement." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Well, definitely." Xu Yuanxuan smiled happily and nodded.

Looks like a well-thought-out look.

After Urobuchi Gen left the president's office.

"Hey~ Wada-san really admires you, President." Akane Ayase sighed beside her.

"Please don't say such strange things, okay?!" Qing Zhiyuan frowned fiercely.

"It's the kind of admiration of master and apprentice, master and apprentice!"

"Then make it clear, Baga!"
