Is it not a galgame?

"Brilliant! It's wonderful!"

After reading the scripts of CL and LL, Kigami Masaharu couldn't help but slapped his thigh.

Although these two galgames also have some sidelines and multiple endings, Kigami Masaharu can choose the one that can give the players the greatest emotional resonance and critical strike from the many endings at a glance.

The only regret is that these games cannot be animated right away.

The main thing is to consider the problem of selling games.

Therefore, according to the normal schedule, the animation is estimated to be after next year.

But Kigami Masharu is full of confidence in these two games.

"With senior Miyazaki helping to control the original art, it must be two very brilliant games. Instead, I am a little worried about Kyoto Animation. I don't know if we have the ability to put the game designed by Hayao Miyazaki on TV."

yes ha.

This reminded Qing Zhiyuan.

However, he had discussed with Hayao Miyazaki before. It is estimated that Ghibli does not have the manpower and resources to animate CL and LL. Although he is half of Hayao Miyazaki’s child, he is very reluctant, but Ghibli really can’t afford it. .

According to Hayao Miyazaki's style, let alone two years of production, even seven or eight years of production, ten years is possible.

And he not only pays attention to the picture itself, but also pays more attention to the content of the story. Ghibli insists on the original route, and it is probably impossible for them to do game animation.

Now giving it to Kyoto Animation is actually the best route.

Kyoto Animation needs such excellent works to help it grow, and Qing Zhiyuan also believes in the potential of Kyoto Animation.

Not to mention the current ability, but the potential is definitely beyond doubt.

In the previous life, Kyoto Animation also produced several animations adapted from tear-jerking games, and CL was one of them.

Now that CL has returned to Kyoto Animation, there is a sense of fate of historical reincarnation.

Qing Zhiyuan believes that they will be able to do well.

……

After the Chinese New Year, the work on "The Upside Down Patma" progressed very quickly, but gradually, Qing Zhiyuan noticed a subtle aura.

To be precise, it came from Xu Yuanxuan.

This guy didn't know what was going on. After returning to work after the new year, he felt gradually depressed, as if he had changed himself.

You must know that before this, Xu Yuanxuan was full of vitality and had inexhaustible energy.

After inquiring with other members of the project team, Qing Zhiyuan learned that it seemed that Gen Urobuchi had quarreled with Shinji Mikami because of the game during this period.

The overall atmosphere of the "Upside-Down Patma" project is quite harmonious, and the members are full of hope for this game.

After all, from the perspective of the core gameplay, the intersection of gravity and anti-gravity is shown through the original settings of the hero and heroine. This form has really never happened before, it is very novel, and it also has unlimited potential.

Every day at work is blissful when you know that a project has a high probability of being a huge success.

The only one who feels aggrieved is Urobuchi Gen. In this game, there is not much room for copywriting. Basically, a lot of story content must be realized through the scene and the mechanism of the game itself, although there are some NPCs who act as information transmission roles. , but he also seriously doubts whether the effect will be achieved in the end.

So Qing Zhiyuan called Xu Yuanxuan into the office.

If you don't give him psychological training, this guy will fall into a state of depression. Such an old man can't play games well.

Qing Zhiyuan didn't want to lose a creative genius.

"Hey? How can you quarrel with Mikami? Didn't you have a good cooperation before?"

"It's not a quarrel..." Xu Yuanxuan cried and mourned. He originally wanted to cheer up, at least not to show such a mournful look in front of the president, but just recalling the experience of the past six months, he really couldn't afford it Come on spirit.

"It's just... Mikami cut a lot of my plots and designs, and had some disputes with him, but who let him be the producer? In the end, there are actually very few things left. I saw the game become what it is now. , I feel very useless.

One doesn't have many requirements for the copywriting, and the value I play in it is completely dispensable, and then I can't find the direction. "

Qing Zhiyuan looked at the expression on his face, feeling 1 uncomfortable in his heart.

Running a company is hard.

The president doesn't have 48 hours a day, so why did something happen when he didn't stare at this side?
Qing Zhiyuan comforted him, "After all, "The Upside-Down Patema" is mainly about gameplay, and it's already quite impressive to be able to express it clearly in the plot."

Making a game is like cooking a main course and side dishes. Urobuchi has obviously gotten used to the feeling of being the main course before. After all, the core of galgame is the plot, and all the content revolves around the plot. unfolded and served.

When you are the main C, the status and right to speak are naturally different.

Now that I have suddenly changed to the position of side dishes, it is equivalent to that I will definitely not get used to it if I want to play assistants.

"Wada-san, 【Games have primary and secondary importance. Copywriting is an aid. The success of the project is the most important thing. Only by cooperating with each other can we make the best game】

In this case, you must have heard it countless times, right?

I will definitely never say such things to you again. "

woo woo woo...

Although Xu Yuanxuan had the face of a murderer, he was a little moved at the moment, the president is really kind.

Not only a life mentor, but also an angel!
These words, the seniors usually say the same, and he also comforts himself in this way.

However, when he was actually doing things, he found that something was wrong. The content of the text, which he was obviously very good at, became an embellishment and irrelevant thing in this game.

Under such circumstances, Shinji Mikami could only choose to cut off these redundant parts.

But every time he cut it, Xu Yuanxuan's heart was bleeding.

This is more uncomfortable than cutting him.

But today, the president didn't say such a thing, Xu Yuanxuan was so moved that he wished he could kneel down and hold Qing Zhiyuan's thigh and cry.

But just when he was about to open his mouth to confide all the sadness and grievances of the past six months to the president, Qing Zhiyuan raised his hand and stopped him.

"Wada-san."

"Ok?"

Qing Zhiyuan pulled up a chair and sat down, looked at Xu Yuanxuan in front of him, thought for a while, and said slowly, "What do you think your role in this game is? Script writer? Writer? Or What?"

"Of course it is..." Xu Yuanxuan opened his mouth, but was at a loss for words for a while.

"Of course, it is to describe the plot of the upside-down Patma and convey it to the players. Whether it is the character setting, the world view, or the dialogue of each NPC in it, these are the tools I use to express. The purpose is to let Players understand and know the whole storyline and future direction in the process of the game.”

"Hmm. That's right!" Qing Zhiyuan continued to ask, "Then what do you think words are?"

"Text..." Xu Yuanxuan was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts, "Tools?"

"Correct."

Qing Zhiyuan nodded, indicating that children can be taught.

"Words are a very good tool of expression." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile, "and some things can only be conveyed through words, for example, we saw the words of Yasunari Kawabata in "Snow Country":

[Through the long tunnel of the county boundary, it is Snow Country]

【The bottom of the night turns white】

[The train stops in front of the signal station]

The bottom of the night turns white, this sentence can be said to be used quite delicately, it describes the state of the night, and at the same time makes you feel——

Night also has shape and can be captured. "

"It not only provides you with rich pictures, but also mobilizes your associations, especially the text itself has sound, and the rhythm raises the beauty to another level."

"That's right." Xu Yuanxuan clenched his fists, "Writing is obviously such an important thing, it is very beautiful, and even has a strong power to penetrate people's hearts. Why should I delete my writing?"

"But..." Qing Zhiyuan smiled, and came a big turning point, "Hetian Sang, then I have to ask a very important question.

In this game, is text an irreplaceable thing, or is there any other better way to integrate and create the content you want to express, rather than through text itself? "

"Huh?" At this moment, Xu Yuanxuan was stunned.

Before that, he didn't seem to think much about it, no, it's not that he didn't think about it at all, but he didn't think about it very thoroughly.

"I don't need to say more about the history of film development. At the beginning, films had no sound, so they were also called silent films." Qing Zhiyuan said, "In modern films, lines are undoubtedly a very important kind. In the way of expression, each character tells the audience the character of the character and the course of the story through his own lines, voice and text.

However, have you ever wondered why classics can be produced in the era of silent films?Or even a movie that can span the ages and be firmly remembered by people? "

Eh? !

Xu Yuanxuan was completely stunned.

He felt his brain go blank, as if something was about to grow out.

The seeds replanted by the president are taking root and sprouting.

"Think about Chaplin, how did he do it?"

"Think about your job again."

Qing Zhiyuan smiled, "Words will take up the players' time, but is there any other better and more natural way to express it?"

"If after you try it, you find that [non-text] is not possible, then do it bravely. I believe that Mikami will recognize you when you reach that step."

That's it!

Xu Yuanxuan's eyes were round and round, as if suddenly enlightened.

He finally figured out this matter. As the controller of the game's plot, he was too obsessed with expressing through words before, and he has always been full of confidence in his words, but at the same time, this has also become the reason for him to express "The Upside Down". Patma's obstacles to doing well.

After being mentioned by Qing Zhiyuan, Xu Yuanxuan's thinking suddenly broadened.

"That's right! There are pictures, there are music, there are movements and voices of characters...these can all be good ways of expression.

Thank you, President!

I walked into a dead end before, and I didn't expect so many possibilities.

This time, I figured it all out. "

Xu Yuanxuan stood up happily, and bowed deeply to Qing Zhiyuan.

"Don't worry, President, I will definitely do a good job in this game!"

……

Ever since Urobuchi Gen was called into the office by the president to talk, he seemed to be a different person. His self-confidence has returned, and many demands have been added. It is not through the text content to convey the game plot, but through the game It itself is integrated into the levels and gameplay.

It can be said that the current Urobuchi Gen has been able to thoroughly comprehend the essence of game copywriting, understand the game thoroughly, and integrate all expression skills and tools.

The current Urobuchi Gen is the upgraded version of Urobuchi Gen 2.0!
Mikami Shinji was full of praise for the returning Urobuchi Gen, saying that Wada-san's awareness and creativity were a great help.

Many points that Mikami failed to understand before were inspired by the design of Urobuchi Gen, making the game itself even better.

But in this way, because of Xu Yuanxuan's great activity, a lot of art needs have been increased.

After all, things that can be clearly described through words are now reflected through character actions and game levels.

"How can it be repaired! Who gave Hetian-sang a bad idea?!" The art students complained.

"Originally, the game is already coming to the end stage, but now it feels like there is a lot more content coming out!"

"Many levels have to be redesigned and produced."

"Isn't it just that good? The movement of the characters should also be increased a lot. Didn't you listen to what Wada-san said? In the era of silent films, Chaplin expressed the plot through body language and character conflicts!"

"Damn! Who is so hateful, giving Hetian such a bad idea?!"

"Hush... Keep your voice down, the person who gave Hetian advice is the president!"

"Ah... isn't the president increasing the workload for us?"

"That's why! Who the president calls to talk to, be more careful!"

……

In April, the fruit is ripe, and the horizontal version of the game "Upside-down Patma" led by Shinji Mikami has been completed.

And the internal response is quite good.

Xu Yuanxuan has also been affirmed by everyone.

"It's ok, Hetian-san, this game doesn't feel that the content of the text is overwhelming at all, but it feels like a whole."

"The last performance was really great. I am still impressed after experiencing it."

"Wow, it feels like watching a great movie production."

"No, it should be said that I experienced an extraordinary life, right? This wonderful and chaotic feeling, as well as the reversal at the last moment, make people have a kind of sudden enlightenment, like waking up from a dream."

"It's amazing. To be able to achieve this level through the game itself, I have to say that Wada-san's transformation this time is quite sudden, and he has made great progress."

"Is this game going to be a hit?"

"It's inevitable!"

……

Now, the members of the "Upside Down Patma" project are full of hope for this game.

Just waiting to be released.
