Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 139 43. The Last Work
Qing Zhiyuan felt a little dazed when he saw the cg, as if he watched "Your Name" in a movie theater in his previous life.

Sure enough, only Xin Haicheng can surpass Xin Haicheng.

Even if Qing Zhiyuan could imitate this style of painting, he always felt that something was missing.

After seeing the pv of "Your Name", Qing Zhiyuan looks forward to Xin Haicheng's works even more.

Of course, the current Xin Haicheng has not yet reached the peak of his previous life, but he already has quite good painting skills. With the help of Qing Zhiyuan, although "Your Name" has not yet reached the level of his previous life, it has already Pretty close, shocking enough for this day and age.

Sure enough, after the PV was broadcast, the game immediately aroused widespread heated discussions and discussions.

"This is actually a promotional video for the game?! It's so strong, if the game can reflect such an image quality, it must be amazing."

"This is already a game at the level of an animated movie, right? And just seeing this promotional video makes people want to experience it."

"The promotional video of your name is also very well done? Before this game, I have never seen any game that can do this."

"There is also a lot of information in the screen, and the PV is very short, but it has already told a lot of useful information."

"The male and female protagonists are both good-looking, I am a little hesitant to enter the pit."

……

The promotional video of pokeni's latest work "Your Name" can be said to be quite remarkable.

The ultra-high-quality PV images make people wonder that this is not a game at all, but a movie animation.

Even a beautiful style similar to Hayao Miyazaki can be faintly felt in it, but overall, the painting style is very modern, and even created a new era of aesthetics.

It's a pity that Neon computers are not popular yet, and the WINDOWS system has only reached 3. Otherwise, in the future, people's evaluation of "Your Name" will be——

"Every frame in this PV can be used as a wallpaper."

The wallpaper maniac is worthy of the title of Makoto Nitsu.

……

The wave of publicity for "Your Name" can be described as a burst.

With a short PV, it quickly became popular.

Regardless of whether you have played pokeni games before, as long as you have seen its promotional video, you will definitely be attracted by it.

The beautiful pictures, the interesting body-swapping stories, and all the hidden foreshadowings are constantly tugging at the heartstrings of the audience.

Many people want to see what such a game looks like.

Moreover, coupled with the clearly written [Guyuan Chunqiu's Retirement Work] in the PV, it has produced a wonderful chemical reaction in the game, making countless people cherish this game even more.

For old pokeni players, "Your Name" is a continuation of the surprise.

And no one wants it to be the end.

"Nene, have you seen the latest game promotional video of Pokeni?"

After watching the pv, the players of Club P gathered together to discuss.

In the era without the Internet, the only way to share games was in person.

Now the number of pokeni players is gradually increasing, and P Club is famous. Many people have heard of pokeni galgames even if they haven't played them.

At least the names of Guyuan Chunqiu and Xuyuanxuan are like thunder, and they are closely associated with the blade.

"Of course I saw it. It's simply too powerful. It's worthy of Gu Yuan Chunqiu's work."

"That's right, the old thief Gu Yuan is really good, no one can surpass him in galgame."

For old fans, pokeni is already synonymous with [cartoon-level] games. Since Onmyoji, this company has always demanded itself with the highest painting standards in the industry.

At the same time, it did not live up to the expectations of the players. As long as it is a galgame developed by P Agency, there is no one that is not good-looking.

At least at that time, the picture level was definitely the top in the industry.

But this time, pokeni's promotional video directly achieved the sky-high picture quality.

"The old thief Guyuan is really strong, but I heard that the script of "Your Name" this time was not written by Urobuchi Gen, so I don't know if there will be any problems."

"What can go wrong? Gu Yuan Chunqiu is the guarantee."

"It's a game where you know it's going to be a knife."

"You guys think too much, the producer of Guyuan Chunqiu, is there any game that doesn't use swords?"

"Would it be a little better without Xu Yuanxuan?"

"Not necessarily...Onmyoji is not a script written by Xu Yuanxuan, the same sword. I don't have any hope for Guyuan Chunqiu."

When everyone said this, they all fell silent.

"The old thief Gu Yuan is really a bad person. If you think about it carefully, this bastard really hasn't made any galgame that doesn't use swords."

"All the games where Gu Yuan is the producer will hurt the hearts of the players. Do you remember the last "Reverse Degree Man"? It was clearly agreed that it would not be a knife man?"

"It's true that there are no swordsmen. Both the male and female protagonists are living well, but it's better to let the swords go. I still don't dare to think about the ending. This is the worst time I have been abused."

"Yeah, in comparison, the Onmyoji series where the heroine died doesn't seem to have such a strong impact. This kind of love can't be obtained, and the feeling of being lost forever is too uncomfortable."

"Two parallel lines that never intersect. This is the most uncomfortable game ending I've ever seen."

"But... how should I put it, you have to admit that the old thief Guyuan's game is really good."

"Indeed, other companies can't imitate it if they want to. It's a game that can only be experienced once, and this is the only one."

"Every time I play the old thief Gu Yuan's game, I muster up my courage, but every time he makes me lose so thoroughly."

"But every time the old thief Guyuan releases a new game, don't you all rush to buy it?"

"Because this is the only one, the galgames produced by other companies are much worse than P Club in terms of game stories."

"Hey...it's a pity, the old thief Gu Yuan is really going to retire."

"What to do, this is already the last work of the old thief Gu Yuan, and there is no chance of being abused in the future."

"yes……"

……

The ultra-exquisite promotional video is superimposed with Gu Yuan Chunqiu's "Retired Work", and the popularity of your name continues to rise.

Your name has become the most attractive game at the end of 1992, even surpassing the current "Dragon Quest 5" released on SFC

"Retire?! Crazy."

On Rentiantang's side, the president Hiroshi Yamauchi sneered, and slapped Guoletong's magazine on the table heavily.

Shigeru Miyamoto did not speak, he silently observed the expression on the president's face, Hiroshi Yamauchi had a smile on his mouth today, but what he said made people feel puzzled.

You don't know whether this person is happy or not.

"It's a means of hype, but it seems a bit unworthy to deliberately retire in order to promote "Your Name." Shigeru Miyamoto truthfully stated his inner thoughts.

Since last year, Qing Zhiyuan has been mentioned more and more by the president.

At first Shigeru Miyamoto didn't quite understand why President Yamauchi always pays attention to this person, but now he seems to have some new insights——

The company pokeni really has some ability in making games.

He had heard about Qing Zhiyuan offending President Yamauchi. At that time, Shigeru Miyamoto believed that the company must be doomed. After all, Rentiantang controlled 90.00% of Neon's game market.

But I didn't expect that P Agency was bound to Sega, and it seemed to be getting better and better.

Especially since the advent of Pokémon, it has continued to rise.

It's really not easy to do this.

So President Yamauchi has already seen the potential of P Corporation before paying attention to Qing Zhiyuan and Guyuan Chunqiu?
To some extent, Shigeru Miyamoto hopes that Guyuan Chunqiu's retirement is real and not just a marketing tool. At least from his understanding of pokeni, Guyuan Chunqiu can be regarded as half a pokeni.

If there is no Guyuan Chunqiu, then the quality of pokeni's new games will probably be compromised by more than half.

For the industry overlord Ren Tiantian, it is not so jealous.

From Shigeru Miyamoto's understanding of Hiroshi Yamauchi, he has always wanted to keep suppressing challengers.

"That's why I think pokeni is really ridiculous." Hiroshi Yamauchi shook his head with a smile, "Every producer only has this opportunity to retire once in a lifetime. If there are too many times, the credit cannot be guaranteed."

Shigeru Miyamoto nodded in agreement.

However, there is another premise that the president did not mention——

There is a prerequisite for the marketing strategy of retiring, that is, this person must have enough influence.

If Gu Yuan Chunqiu's retirement can bring such a big advertising effect, then it can only show that he has indeed done quite well in the game.

……

"Your Name" continues to grow in popularity and has received widespread attention.

The time came to December 1992, 12.

"Your Name" is officially released.

On this day, in the early morning, there were long queues at the gates of the major game stores.

All pokeni players want to come and buy a copy of Your Name

So far, this game that is tightly bound to [Guyuan Chunqiu] is no longer just a game.

It has a different meaning.

Because this is Guyuan Chunqiu's retired work.

In ancient China, it was called Juexiang.

There are quite a few players who have played P club games, but there are very few who really don't lose one.

There are many players who have played the galgame produced by Guyuan Chunqiu, but there are very few players who have played the entire series of Guyuan.

Many players came to make up tickets today.

And it's not just a replacement ticket, buying "Your Name" has more symbolic meaning.

Some players even want to get three sets directly, one for self-play, one for collection, and one for preaching.

"I won't be able to play the old thief Gu Yuan's game in the future, at least I can give it a try to other people who haven't experienced it, and tell them that there was such a great game producer."

"That's what I thought too, just buy three copies."

"It's a pity that the previous Onmyoji era couldn't catch up. Rentiantang didn't let P company reprint the game. Now it's impossible to collect the complete works of Guyuan Chunqiu."

"How can I repair it, I am too."

……

Gu Yuan Chunqiu was in the queue, listening to the discussions of the players in front of him, his mood was indescribably complicated.

At first he thought it was fake news that Gu Yuan Chunqiu retired, but after it was confirmed in the PV, he was so uncomfortable that he died.

This feeling is even more unacceptable than playing the old thief Gu Yuan's game.

"Do you think Guyuan Chunqiu will return to make games in the future?"

"It's hard to say. Under normal circumstances, if you retire, you probably won't come back."

"The key is that I still don't know what the old thief Gu Yuan looks like, so it's very sad."

"But Hayao Miyazaki said before that he would retire, but didn't he come back later?"

"Yeah, Miyazaki is back because he really loves animation, and we love him and the animation he makes."

"I also hope that old thief Gu Yuan can come back."

"Me too."

"Even if he can come back, it will probably be a few years later? Otherwise, wouldn't it be too cheap to retire, too child's play?"

"Ah... When I think that I won't be able to play the old thief Guyuan's game for several years in the future, maybe even my whole life, I feel so uncomfortable that I will die."

Furukawa Haoze nodded in agreement.

These speeches can be seen as the loyalty of the old thief Gu Yuan.

Furukawa Haoze recalled the scene of watching the PV before, and now his brain is still so clear, as if the picture is engraved in his mind, mainly because your name is so impressive that you can’t forget it even if you want to .

After queuing for about an hour, it was finally Hiroshi Furukawa's turn.

As soon as he entered the store, the store manager reminded, "The inventory of "Your Name" is limited now, I hope everyone can buy one set each, and save some for players who need it later. Try not to stock up."

Hearing this, Furukawa Haoze couldn't help frowning severely.

As soon as I heard it, I knew that the people who came to scan the goods before were too crazy, so I bought several copies directly.

Although Gu Chuanhaoze also planned to do so, but now as long as he thinks that his friends who have been waiting in the back for such a long time may not be able to play the game, he can't bear it.

……

The big hit of "Your Name" was already expected by distributors, but they still underestimated the popularity of the game's release day.

So even Hiroyuki Hattori took 5 copies of stock directly this time, but the stock would be in a hurry in less than 5 hours on the first day.

In the store, the game of "Your Name" is particularly conspicuous, placed on the shelf in the center of the store.

It's not so much a shelf, it's better to say that the pile of hills in the middle are all piled up with game boxes.

It's just that this hill has somewhat lost its shape now, and there is not much left.

This is the first time that a game from P Club has enjoyed such C-level treatment.

Gu Chuanhaoze had nothing to hesitate, he followed the crowd and lined up, and then consciously took a share when it came to him.

If you want to reach out for a second share at this time, you will be despised to death by the eyes of your colleagues around you.

In a country like Neon, very few people can do such a [shameless] thing against the air.

So Gu Chuanhaoze hurriedly followed the team to the cashier to settle the bill after taking a copy.

……

When he got home, he wiped the game box carefully.

On the cover is a beautiful image of the hero and heroine.

Shooting stars in the background sparkle alluringly.

He sighed silently—

"This is Gu Yuan Chunqiu's last work."
