Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 172 76. Huh?The president has a bit of a unique taste.
December 1993, 9.

On this day, a few young people came to Pokeni Co., Ltd.

Basically, they are all seventeen or eighteen-year-old children who are so fresh that they can see through the water under the age of 20.

Oh no, except for the chubby boy with glasses.

President Qing Zhiyuan is taking the group of children to visit the company, while introducing what everyone is doing and how the game is made, while telling the glorious history of pokeni so far.

In fact, this glorious history has only been glorious for 3 years.

From this point of view, pokeni is even more tender.

"Huh? Why are there so many young people today?"

As soon as he joined the company, the main beauty, Taiji Sakata, noticed something was wrong.

The program boss Ken Akanishi pouted his mouth and motioned him to lower his voice, "The president is taking the college students from Keio University to visit the company. I guess he wants to take the opportunity to promote a wave and then recruit a few interns?"

"Eh?"

Taiji Sakata blinked his eyes, put down the briefcase mechanically, and then sat on the desk. While sorting out today's work content, he looked at the college students from the corner of his eyes.

There are about 6 people in total.

4 males and 2 female.

The two girls have pretty faces and look pretty kawaii. One of them wears round black glasses and even looks a bit like a manga girl.

"Since the 90s, it seems that newcomers have not been treated like this."

Sakata Taiji said suspiciously.

Yes, Ken Akanishi agreed very much. Wasn’t that the era of the bubble economy 90 years ago?The whole neon is taking off. Entrepreneurs are desperately coming to grab people, providing various preferential treatment to college students, even before they sign, they will give big gifts.

In that era, talent was more expensive than anything else, and interviews were rarely required.

It's different now, the economy is in a downturn, companies are closing down one by one, and there are so many jobs left for young people.

Nowadays, it is basically college students who want to join the company. It is really rare to invite people to visit the company in advance like the president.

Unless this group of people is very important.

"The high-achieving students of Keio University can barely be regarded as talents that need to be sought." Akanishi Ken responded, "Before you came just now, the president asked me to introduce some program work content."

Among the visitors who came today, there are students of different majors, some from the Department of Computer Science, and some from the Department of Social Sciences...

"Who is the president looking for?" Sakata Taiji couldn't help but become curious.

"Guess?" Kenshi Akanishi laughed badly, pretending to be mysterious.

Taiji Sakata looked around, "That girl with glasses, right? Actually, she is quite beautiful, but after wearing glasses, she has a cute feeling. Maybe the president will like this one."

"No." Akashi Ken laughed happily.

"You may not believe it when you say it."

"HR Akane Ayase said that today's invitation is actually just for one person."

He directed Taiji Sakata's gaze with his eyes.

The latter glanced at it, and the whole person was shocked.

Because Akanishi Ken's eyes fell on the most inconspicuous boy among the students, who even seemed to have such a wretched temperament.

It was the chubby boy with glasses.

"Huh? Really? Is the president actually looking for such a person?"

……

At this time, Qing Zhiyuan was happily taking the students from Keio University to visit Pokeni Company, and told them about the game development history of P Club with great interest.

Everyone listened with great interest.

Especially the guy in the team who wears glasses and was said to have a wretched temperament by Taiji Sakata——

Hidetaka Miyazaki.

The young Miyazaki Hidetaka was thinner and had thicker hair, but his appearance had hardly changed. It was obvious at a glance that this guy was Miyazaki's old thief.

From some angles, this guy is somewhat similar to Liu Cixin.

But this guy kept a low profile the whole time. Although his eyes were shining, he hardly spoke or asked any questions.

The others, especially the good-looking girl, were extremely lively.

Like a little bird, it always surrounds Qing Zhiyuan and chirps.

Qing Zhiyuan felt a little noisy.

The girl's heart is towards Qing Zhiyuan, but President Qing seems to only care about Miyazaki Hidetaka.

He asked patiently, "Student, what do you think? Are you interested in coming to Pokeni for an internship?"

Miyazaki Hidetaka froze for a moment, and supported his glasses with his fingers, nervousness visible to the naked eye.

The current old thief is still a somewhat introverted little fat man, even if his heart is about to move around, he doesn't show it particularly obviously.

It's just that the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, revealing Miyazaki Hidetaka's signature sullen smile, which showed that although he didn't express it clearly, he was very interested in Qing Zhiyuan's invitation.

Before this guy went to college, he was always looked down upon by his family, and he had almost no chance to get in touch with games, but that didn't mean he wasn't interested in games.

Hidetaka Miyazaki was born in a poor family in Neon Shizuoka Prefecture. Since his parents could not afford books or comics, he often went to the library to read various books.

Ironically, he was banned from playing games by his parents since he was a child, so he can only read game books and play board games, but this has not affected his creativity and imagination at all.

After Hidetaka Miyazaki entered university, he began to experience the game process in a vengeful manner. There is a saying——

The more you can't get it when you are young, the more you want it when you grow up.

The more forbidden, the more mysterious and attractive.

Boys who have never been in love are always full of fantasies about girls.

Miyazaki Hidetaka, who has never played games, is naturally full of desire for games.

It's a pity that he has no money to buy a game console, so his inner desire is even more suppressed.

Invited to pokeni, Hidetaka Miyazaki was suddenly brought into a mysterious world by Qing Zhiyuan, like a girl whom he had a crush on for a long time lifted the veil covering her face in front of him.

Hidetaka Miyazaki fell instantly.

"Pokeni is definitely a place to realize your ideals, and the atmosphere of a big family is quite strong."

After finishing speaking, Qing Zhiyuan turned his attention to other people and added:
"Well, everyone is welcome to come to pokeni for an internship in the future. Maybe in the future, a work that will shock the world will come from your hands."

"Teacher, I'm a computer major. I should be doing programming in the future, right? Can programmers also participate in the design?"

"of course."

Qing Zhiyuan nodded seriously, "Employees in any position have their own ideas and creativity, pokeni never restricts individuals, as long as your idea is good, interesting, and creative, you have the opportunity to try it. "

real or fake?

Hearing Qing Zhiyuan's words not far away, both Akanishi Ken and Sakata Taiji were shocked.

The president is shameless, lying in front of the students.

Before this, why didn't you see any game designer with a background in programming or art?
Oh, except for the president himself.

……

"That..." At this moment, Miyazaki Hidetaka weakly raised his hand.

Qing Zhiyuan quickly encouraged with his eyes, "Student, please speak freely."

"I... I have never played a game." Miyazaki Hidetaka said, "I have only read game strategy books, but I am interested in the game, no, because I have never played the game, I don't even know if I am interested in the game. really interested.

Can people like me participate in game development? "

"Well, it's ok." Qing Zhiyuan nodded seriously.

The current Miyazaki Hidetaka has not been able to meet his destined game, today is a turning point.

It's just that what this guy has to do in the future should be to experience more games and stimulate his imagination and creativity.

"If you don't understand the game," Qing Zhiyuan thought for a while, then looked back at the programmer who was debugging the game, "Come to Pokeni for an internship, and I can configure the corresponding game console for you. If you don't have the conditions, then the company's test room It can be used by you.

Miyazaki, what kind of game do you want to experience at that time, you can experience it here. If the school has the conditions, it is also possible to take the test machine back, as long as it is not damaged or leaked. "

Eh?
Miyazaki Hidetaka froze for a moment.

It seems that Qing Zhiyuan didn't expect him to be able to call out his name directly.

But he soon understood—

Nowadays
It can only be said that President Qing is really a very attractive entrepreneur, even a humble person like them can remember, and he has done his homework in advance.

This heart alone is extremely touching.

and……

There are actually free games to play in the world.

That's great too, right?

The other students looked at each other and couldn't help laughing happily.

……

After seeing off the college students, Qing Zhiyuan went back to the office and sat down.

Happy.

From his observation just now, Miyazaki's old thief is obviously very interested in making games.

But of course it is.

After all, Miyazaki Hidetaka in his previous life was a person who could give up his high-paying career in Oracle in order to make games, and even take less than half of the salary of his original position, and even cut his salary to do game development.

Moreover, he still switched jobs at the age of 29 [advanced age].

You must know that Neon is a lifetime employment system. Once you leave Oracle, the future will be full of uncertainties.

To resign under such circumstances, it really takes a lot of courage, and at the same time, a great enthusiasm for the game.

So even if Hidetaka Miyazaki doesn't make games today, he will be in the game industry in the future.

The only thing that worries Qing Zhiyuan is——

Now Hidetaka Miyazaki, apart from imagination and creativity, can be said to be a blank slate.

But it doesn't matter, because Qing Zhiyuan knows that this guy has the potential and talent to become a top producer.

What he needs is time and experience, and he needs to enter a game company to practice and polish.

In the end, it didn't take a few years for Qing Zhiyuan to be confident that he could polish Miyazaki Hidetaka's rough jade into a crystal clear treasure.

As for the other college students who came to visit, Qing Zhiyuan upholds the principle of appointing people on their merits, as long as they perform well during the company's internship, they can be asked.

After all, Keio University is one of the best universities in neon.

……

Not long after the visit, Hidetaka Miyazaki and several students from Keio University signed their names on the internship contract.

It's just that I will come to the company for an internship in December during the winter vacation.

"very good."

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help being secretly happy.

Get rid of Miyazaki's old thief, and pokeni will have another great producer in the future.

Akane Ayase glanced at him, expressing that she was becoming more and more incomprehensible to the president.

……

After August, another game of Pokeni, "Bedding Man", entered the finishing work.

This game is a galgame developed by a small team of 6 people, with Ishino Mika as the producer, newcomer Maeda Jun as the script planner, and artist Yokoyama as the original painting design.

Small productions, small teams, and members of the rest of the company don't seem to have much hope for them.

Guyuan Chunqiu is [gone], and the script was not written by Wada.

It feels like the president is doing experiments at a small cost, putting together a few [newcomers], if they can sell the results, it will be even better, if not, it will be used as an experience for the newcomers.

Yes, newcomer.

Mika Ishino served as producer for the first time.

Ma Zhizhun just graduated this year and came to the company in April.

As for the artist Hengshan, although he has been in charge of the art work of several galgames, it is the first time that he has been formally responsible for the independent creation of the main artist.

What's even more frightening is that the difficulty of creating this time is quite large.

Because the president probably lost his mind, he actually asked Yokoyama to combine the current manga style with the French Sambe style to create a new style.

According to Qing Zhiyuan's original words, the quilt boy needs a dreamlike innocence, and at the same time, he must combine the style of "Your Name" to create a unique new game with a neon flavor.

Yokoyama said——

Is this nima something that humans can do?

This requirement is even more excessive than when "Mermaid Heart" was produced.

Back then, it was required to combine horror and suspense with aesthetic healing...

In short, just thinking about it makes Hengshan feel dizzy, and every time in the dead of night, he has an urge to put down the pick.

However, when he thought of what Qing Zhiyuan said [maybe this is the brightest moment in your art career, a work of art], Hengshan felt a fire running through his veins.

……

After showing Qing Zhiyuan the style of the original painting, the art artist Hengshan's little heart was almost scared out of his mind.

Because Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a long time.

The air in the entire meeting room was extremely dull, as if it had frozen.

"Wow, that's what I want." Qing Zhiyuan said.

Dreamy.

To be precise, Hengshan used colored pencils and watercolors to increase the color saturation, making the whole picture have a beautiful fairy-tale color.

As for the character modeling, it is mainly based on the drawing of Japanese comics.

So it looks fantastic.

Such a work is either a masterpiece or a work of art, and it is praised to the sky.

Either it's just a bunch of flying, and it's nothing to be criticized.

It is full of great uncertainties, and the final result may be very dismal.

Therefore, it seems reasonable for the members to suspect that Qing Zhiyuan took "The Bed Man" as a test product.

"Well, it's stable. If this game can be made, no matter whether it is good or bad, it will definitely leave a mark in the history of games."

hiss...

Yokoyama said that he could not understand the words of the president very well.

What is [regardless of whether it is good or bad]?
Is this stable or unstable?
