Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 96. Sense of Identity

Everything has been properly arranged, and the animation will be handed over to KyoAni for production, and Tepco's schedule will be arranged until next spring and January.

After the preparation of this matter was completed, Qing Zhiyuan felt a little relieved.

But the psychological pressure is still great.

Although DUN shared the expenses, the financial situation on Pokeni's side was still extremely tense.

It's natural to think about it. It was hard work to earn two to three hundred million yen, but now the company's own game development expenses alone cost more than half.

Another 1 million was spent on animation production, and Tepco also spent a lot.

In order to be able to develop game consoles with Sega and Sony, Pokeni also borrowed 10 billion from the bank with DUN as a guarantee.

After careful calculation, pokeni is still in deficit.

what……

Sure enough, expansion is a waste of money.

Except for Rentiantang, which has always insisted on operating without debt, other companies have more or less debts.

In particular, Sega borrowed a lot of money from the bank in order to fight the console war.

This also laid a hidden danger for the company's future bankruptcy.

From this point of view, Sega's Hayao Nakayama is really a veritable gambler.

Very fond of going big and betting big.

Once the sales performance of a certain game console is not satisfactory, it will drag the entire Sega into the abyss of bankruptcy.

Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan could not help but shudder.

I still have to be more cautious in the future, and don't repeat the mistakes of the previous Sega.

Let’s be honest, debt doesn’t feel good.

If Qing Zhiyuan hadn't been rushing to get in the car, the 10 billion loan from the bank would not be necessary at all.

……

Time flies, and it is October in a blink of an eye.

The development of Diablo is completed, and it is entering the later stage of testing.

As long as the bugs are almost converged, it can be put on the shelves.

The progress of the development of Diablo is very gratifying, and it can be seen from the excitement of the members and the expressions on their faces——

It's a good game.

When I went to the rooftop to smoke in the afternoon, I happened to meet the main program Ken Akanishi.

Blue sky and white clouds, the sun is just right.

The two sat on the bench and chatted for a while.

Akanishi Ken said with a smile while smoking, "President, you are really amazing, you can actually come up with a game like "Diablo"."

He sighed and looked up at the bright sun in the sky.

Since late October, the weather has turned cold, and it is quite comfortable to come up to bask in the sun.

What he said was the truth.

During this period of time, although Akanishi Ken felt extremely tired, it can even be said that the development of Diablo made his hairline move back a lot.

Because Diablo is different from ordinary games, it was basically a turn-based battle before, but now it has become a real-time battle mode.

What's even more frightening is that a monster spawning mechanism has to be added, and the AI ​​aspect of monsters is also very problematic.

The [random structure] of the maze below almost made the programmers feel overwhelmed.

At that time, Chi Xijian had a lot of quarrels with Qing Zhiyuan because of this.

[Is this kind of setting something that humans can think of? 】

[How can such an excessive request be realized? 】

[Planners please think about it carefully, isn't this a bit too much?Do you have any common sense? 】

[Can the planners be treated as a reality, and if they say they can't realize it, they can't realize it! 】

With words like this, Ken Akanishi complained a lot, and even in the dead of night, he often wanted to leave his job.

Such a company is really a devastation to programmers.

but……

Every time Qing Zhiyuan can always find a solution and successfully persuade them.

But when all this slowly became reality, Akanishi Ken was extremely satisfied in his heart.

There is an extraordinary sense of accomplishment.

When you accomplish a task you thought you would never be able to accomplish.

When you defeat an opponent that can never be defeated.

When you've managed to get to the top, look back and you'll find—

All the hard work, sweat, unwillingness and cursing seemed to be worth it.

"It's really amazing to be able to develop a game like Diablo."

Akanishi Ken smiled, put the cigarette into his mouth and took a puff.

"You can come up with such an excellent game, come up with reasonable solutions, and even give guidance in the field of programming, President, you really exceed my expectations."

"You weren't like this before."

Alle?

Qing Zhiyuan's chrysanthemum tightened.

Is the identity of the traverser about to be exposed?
"Think about it carefully, you can do this," Akanishi Ken lowered his head and sighed, "It just means that you, the president, are working harder than everyone sees, right?"

"Hmm..." Qing Zhiyuan smiled shyly, "That's right."

what……

Sure enough, if there is no perseverance and dedication beyond ordinary people, there is no way to get to this point.

The president has been under too much pressure over the years.

"Don't you need to sleep?"

"Ah... this..." Qing Zhiyuan tilted his head and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

"Pay attention to your body, or you will go downhill when you are over 30 years old."

Akanishi looked straight ahead, not looking at him.

There was a pause for two seconds, "And, occasionally, please rely on us more?"

"Don't make my main program look like a decoration."

"Okay, okay." Qing Zhiyuan smiled happily.

This guy probably hasn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet, right?

Speaking of such big words now, there will be many places where programs will need to work hard in the future.

"Well, it's fun."

"Being able to work with Qingsang for so many years." Akanishi sighed with a smile, "I wasn't sure at first, but now the feeling in my heart is getting stronger and stronger."

"what?"

"It's the feeling of success." Akanishi pointed to the sun in the sky, "Although it's not very bright now, just like this sun, pokeni will shine brightly after a while."

Maybe it can hit the number one of Neon, but it is not certain.

"Well, it would be great if that's the case." Qing Zhiyuan laughed.

To be recognized by others, especially the old employees of his company, and the approval of Akanishi Ken who has been with him for so many years, makes Qing Zhiyuan extremely satisfied.

In an excellent company, members are full of pride and a sense of identity with their own company.

As long as the employees have confidence, it means that they are on the way forward.

"Shinji Mikami has been trained too much by the president." Akanishi said with a smile, "He is obviously a newcomer who has just started working, but he has grown quite a lot now.

Maybe the next game can be the main planner. "

"Well, that's what I was looking forward to too." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"But let me tell you, President, shouldn't you consider your own personal problems?"

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan blushed, don't you know that President Tsuda and I have a hot fight?

"Occasionally you take Mikami and Wada to have a friendship. They always spend all their time on work, how can this work?"

"Being tortured by them like this, programmers and artists can't stand it." Akanishi complained.

Hehe, it turns out that this guy's focus is here.
