Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 223 127. A Beautiful Look

Deleting posts will not be deleted, and Qing Zhiyuan will keep these posts to flog the corpse.

It's just that on the forum announcement, he added a reminder [please speak kindly].

Unexpectedly, this friendly reminder was once again attacked by players.

"Hahaha, I woke up today and found that there was an extra reminder in the forum announcement, please speak kindly.

I thought it was something.

Didn't we speak kindly enough, didn't we swear or something? "

Qing Zhiyuan frowned when he saw this post.

Are you still friendly when you use words like Sine?
Then the following is written:
"This is pokeni's official forum, right? I read the announcement stating that players are free to speak and comment on the game.

Since this is the case, then it should be the most basic truth to praise the game if it is well done, and to be criticized if it is not well done, right?

We are just stating the facts.

If I later turn out to be wrong, I will certainly apologize for my statement. "

Paste off!

Qing Zhiyuan gritted his teeth with hatred, and at the same time remembered this [Time Agent] guy.

You wait for me!

……

Whether this wave of publicity is good or not is another matter.

But the publicity effect is in place. Whether you play the game or not, you have basically heard of the game CLANNAD.

People in the circle are not very optimistic about the game because it failed to meet their expectations, but they also know about this game, whether they have played galgame or not before, they have some understanding of recent events.

In particular, pokeni opened a forum dedicated to criticism, which was laughed out of the mouth by everyone.

People outside the circle are more tolerant than those inside the circle.

After all, people who play a lot of games will naturally know what they are doing, and they can tell at a glance which games are good and which games are not.

CLANNAD can't say it's bad, but the information given by the PV is indeed too mediocre.

Although I don't want to use the word mediocrity, that's what the players think in their hearts.

The outsiders are mainly the tap water of Hayao Miyazaki.

Because I have seen Hayao Miyazaki's animations before, I like his works very much. This time I heard that Hayao Miyazaki will participate in the production of games, so I am naturally looking forward to it.

For those who haven't experienced galgame, CLANNAD's PV is actually not bad. Hayao Miyazaki's painting style and beautiful music give people a warm and sad feeling.

This is quite different from the previous works of Hayao Miyazaki, so many players outside the circle have expressed their curiosity about this game.

Not for anything else, just to give Hayao Miyazaki a face.

……

Toshihiko Kawasaki is such a player.

To be precise, although he bought an MD-CD, he didn't have much time to experience the game, because work required frequent business trips, flying between Neon and the Philippines, and sometimes flying to the United States.

Expanding business for the company is a very typical sales.

But because of this job, he has been to many countries, from China in Asia, to cold countries, and then to France in Europe...

He has had the pleasure of visiting a range of countries.

Although the business trip is very tiring, it may be a great life experience to experience exotic customs and appreciate the local cultural characteristics.

In the Nordic region, he once saw the castle written by Hayao Miyazaki.

I also saw the filming location of "Kiki's Delivery Service":
"Kiki's Delivery Service" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Eiko Kadono, and the story takes place in a fictional country in Northern Europe.

So when remaking it as an animation, Hayao Miyazaki put the main source of the scene in two cities in Sweden, Stockholm and Visby.

Kiki's seaside town of Creek is a mixture of these two cities.

In short, Toshihiko Kawasaki himself can't tell whether he fell in love with Hayao Miyazaki's animations because he fell in love with the scenery around the world after watching Hayao Miyazaki's animations, or because he likes places of interest around the world.

When he came back to his senses, he had already become a loyal fan of Hayao Miyazaki.

The more you know about human history, the more you admire Hayao Miyazaki, a master of painting with a high level of thought who can think at the height of human beings.

……

This time it is rare to have a vacation to stay in Neon.

For about a month, I can enjoy life freely without doing anything.

It was mid-August.

As soon as he came back from the Philippines, Toshihiko Kawasaki heard about the game CLANNAD, and what’s even more rare is Hayao Miyazaki’s animation supervisor. He immediately expressed that he must play this game.

What is even more touching is that the release date will be on September 9th not long after.

So everything is such a coincidence.

Toshihiko Kawasaki felt that he was really lucky.

There are some knowledgeable gamers around, and when they heard that Kawasaki Toshihiko wanted to start the CLANNAD game, they all expressed their willingness to persuade.

"This game is galgame-oriented, and it hasn't been released yet. Many players are skeptical about the actual game experience. Why don't you wait and see?"

This is also the attitude of most galgame players. Although they like it very much and are willing to believe in the combination of Furuhara Chunqiu and Miyazaki Hayao, but the PV makes people afraid to start immediately.

It's better to wait and see more and see what other people say about the game after experiencing it.

If the game is good enough and can get a good reputation, it's not too late to start at that time.

But Toshihiko Kawasaki said, "I don't have a long vacation, so I don't have time to wait and see, and isn't this the painting supervisor of Master Hayao Miyazaki, it must be good."

"But it's a galgame, and it may be the kind that sucks." Peng also continued to persuade.

"Galgame?" Toshihiko Kawasaki frowned and thought for a second, then smiled and said:
"Coincidentally, I like this kind of game. I have played galgame before, but I haven't played much, so it's still new to me."

Toshihiko Kawasaki said that on the one hand, he does not have much time to play games, and on the other hand, he is quite picky about the style of the game.

So galgame is rarely played, this time it is aimed at Hayao Miyazaki.

"Oh, why don't you just listen? If you want to experience galgames, there are a lot of high-quality ones on the market, even pokeni works.

For example, "Your Name", "The Bed Man" and so on. "

"But they weren't painted by Hayao Miyazaki."

Kawasaki Toshihiko replied.

Peng Ye was slightly taken aback, not knowing how to refute for a moment.

Seeing that this person is so stubborn, there is no need to continue persuading him.

"You may regret it later."

"How much regret can I have? This game sold for [-] yuan."

"Well……"

Peng also fell silent.

It can only be said that this Kawasaki guy is a very desirable consumer.

As long as he believes in something, he doesn't care about money at all.

……

Although the waiting time is long, it is also fleeting.

Soon it will be June 9th.

On this day, pokeni's new work "CLANNAD" was officially released.

Although Kawasaki said that he was looking forward to this game, but the jet lag made him sleepy and dizzy recently, and he even forgot for a while.

He didn't remember it until he saw the game advertisement interspersed in the TV show.

It seems that "CLANNAD", which Master Hayao Miyazaki participated in, is released today.

So I quickly put on my clothes and put on my shoes, and hurried to the nearby game store.

"It's broken, it's broken, the works of Master Hayao Miyazaki will not be snatched up, right?"

He still understands Hayao Miyazaki's appeal.

According to Kawasaki's guess——

For such a popular game, there must be a long queue at the door.

I went there late, and I didn't know what time it would be until I got there.

Maybe the game will be sold out by the time it arrives.

However, when Kawasaki Toshihiko came to the door of the sales store, he found that there seemed to be few people.

No need to line up.

Alle?

How is it such a scene?
"Manager, today is CLANNAD's release day, right?" Kawasaki Toshihiko asked.

The store manager is a fat middle-aged man in a uniform with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face. He was slightly taken aback when he heard the word CLANNAD.

There seemed to be such a slight surprise.

Surprised for two reasons.

The first one is CLANNAD, you don’t know what the hell it is, what country it means, and this person can say it in one mouthful, and he can speak it so fluently.

According to pokeni's official statement, CLANNAD is the abbreviation of Celtic CLANN As Dango.

Refers to family, family, family, kinship.Of course, it can also be understood as a family in a broader sense, that is, the entire town where the characters live.

It is very difficult for Neon people to speak foreign languages, and it has a strange smell.

But it is really rare that this tall young man can speak so fluently.

The second one is that this person actually came to buy CLANNAD, he just saw a ghost.

Since the release of the PV, players' expectations have been forcibly lowered, causing many people to wait and see.

It's not that I don't want to buy it, but I want to wait for others to experience it first and then buy it based on feedback.

It belongs to the swing type among players.

There are not many very staunch pokeni fans.

This is also the reason why so far today, even though it is the release date of the new game of p agency, not many people have come to buy it.

The store manager himself felt that the game might be ruined, and he didn't know how much the president would lose.

It is a bit surprising that someone suddenly wants to buy CLANNAD.

But the store manager is a professional after all, he quickly adjusted the expression on his face, and smiled, "Yes, today is the release date of CLANNAD. This is the joint work of Furuhara Tsubaki and Master Hayao Miyazaki."

It just went on sale today, and although the discs have been in the warehouse a few days ago, the store manager himself doesn't have time to try it out.

So what can be said is basically the biggest selling point in public perception:

Furuhara Tsubaki and Miyazaki are not enough.

That's okay.

Who knew that when the young man in front of him heard this, his eyes lit up.

"That's right, that's what I want."

Well……

The store manager hesitated for a second, then raised his finger and said, "The shelf in the middle, the top shelf, is full of CLANNAD."

This time, the president purchased a very, very large amount, 10 copies were needed at once, so most of the warehouse and shelves were used to place CLANNAD.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems not very optimistic.

……

Got the guidance of the store manager.

Toshihiko Kawasaki quickly found "CLANNAD" on the shelf

Gently wiping the cover with his sleeve, Toshihiko Kawasaki smiled happily.

On the cover are two girls, one big and one small, holding each other's hands.

The older one has a ponytail and wears a long white dress with a bow.

The younger one was dressed in children's clothing and a sun hat.

In the distance is the blue sky and white clouds.

A few lines of fine print are written below:

【CLANNAD
Bringing you the feeling of being touched by the light in the dark]

【Produced by pokeni Co., Ltd.】

【Producer: Furuhara Chunqiu】【Painting Supervisor: Hayao Miyazaki】【Script: Jun Maeda】

Although Qing Zhiyuan was the original author of the script, Ma Zhizhun was responsible for the details, and Qing Zhiyuan didn't want to sign in this column, so the script author used Ma Zhizhun's name.

When he heard about this decision, Maeda was both happy and frightened.

I am delighted, "He De He Neng can take the name of Teacher Gu Yuan Chun Qiu and become the author of the script? This story was not originally created by me. I just edited it on my behalf to refine it and make it more specific."

Frightened: "This game is so cruel, and then I will become the guy who is hated by everyone and will be sent a blade."

Shared the damage of Mr. Gu Yuan, Maeda Jun said he couldn't laugh or cry.

……

Kawasaki Toshihiko took a deep breath.

Some of the packages are extremely exquisite, just looking at the cover on this box, you can immediately understand——

Hayao Miyazaki's style.

It's really a beautiful sight.

"Yes, that's what I want!"
