Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

Chapter 121 Sexy female ninja!
  "It's just you, Xiao Fenglang. Sometimes I don't know if you are too confident or arrogant."

He spoke unhappily, but looking at Fuyukawa Che's careful smile, Miyano Miwa's eyes gradually calmed down.

She didn't knock off Fuyukawa Che's finger that played with her lower lip, and even tapped it with her little tongue. Then she rolled her beautiful eyes, then twisted her body to avoid the finger, picked up the oolong tea, and drank it while leaning against the boss's table. He got up, but his expression was still worried.

"What are you going to do next? Release a CG at the summer exhibition? Although You are very capable and Sekiro's development progress is very fast, the influence gap between the new game and the classic old IP is too big, so you have to be careful Prepare for a bad fight."

"know."

Fuyukawa Che nodded. Although Legend of the Demon King has not had a sequel for more than ten years, this old IP, which was first born on the Famicom and later had a sequel in the early days of the rapid development of the Internet, has an exaggerated influence.

Not only because of feelings, but also because the game industry had just begun to develop at that stage, and all game types were a blue ocean. Legend of the Demon King was also one of the earliest ACT games, so it is also regarded by many players as the originator of the ACT genre. One of the games].

Of course, as an insider, Cheru Fuyukawa knew that this so-called title [one of the originator games of the ACT genre] was originally a concept that NTsoft spent money to speculate on when it released a PC sequel. In fact, although Legend of the Demon King was released early, there is still a certain gap between the quality and the top ACT game IPs, but players don't know it.

Or to be more precise, those old players who have played Famicom and early PC versions know that this game was not the best back then, but these players are now around thirty, and this game is very important to them. It's a sentiment, and I won't go online to say that this game is not good.

For new players who have just entered the game, [the originator of the genre] is the best advertisement.

Old players and new players are at odds with each other. In this case, Sekiro would find it very difficult to compete, not to mention suppressing the opponent's popularity in the early stage of the announcement. After all, it is difficult to release too much of the first promotional video. thing.

but
  "Things are indeed a bit troublesome, but they are not as bad as you think. You are upset now, please calm down."

"Ok?"

Under the frowning gaze of Miyano Miwa, Fuyukawa Che shrugged and said with a smile: "Whether it is for publicity or to gain popularity, the essence is to continue to use the company's resources so that the game will not be cut in half. But now it is not only We don’t want this game to be cut in half, and the same goes for Asai.”

Asai?

Miyano Miwa frowned when she thought that Asai did not prevent the restart of Demon King Brave Legend at the board meeting, but soon, feeling Fuyukawa Cheru's calm expression while drinking tea, her irritable mood completely calmed down.

Carefully recalling the context of the entire incident, after thinking for a moment, her brows gradually relaxed and she glanced at Fuyukawa Che with appreciation.

What a terrifyingly calm guy.

She smiled and shook her head, "You guys are too calm. I was really anxious after hearing the news. I didn't realize that this guy's real target was the Xiaohe faction."

"Just figure it out."

Holding Miyano Miwa's waist, Fuyukawa Che sat down on the boss's chair, rubbed his plump belly with his right hand, buried it on her fair and sweaty neck, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Back then, the Demon King was brave It is said that this IP was blocked not only because the sales of the sequel were extremely low, but also because the ACT game market was gradually being eroded by other types of games. At this time, the third part of the IP was restarted. If Asai really wanted to stop it, it would not be too difficult. Big, but.”

"Why did he do this, you want to say that, right?"

The big peach was twirling in her arms, Miyano Miting's pretty face was slightly red, and her plump flesh was pressed in Fuyukawa Che's arms. It was a very ambiguous atmosphere, but at this time, besides being shy, her face was more relaxed. Her whole body was relaxed, just lying on him.

Hearing her answer, Fuyukawa Che said with a smile: "Yes. Legend of the Demon King was restarted by President Xiaohe through factional relations and against all opinions on the board of directors. Therefore, as long as this game dies suddenly or is cut in half, In the end, NTsoft will definitely lose money, but the one who suffers the most is the Xiaohe faction, and even the entire Xiaohe faction will be devastated by this. So for Asai, this is a set of seven-injury punch."

"Seven Injury Fist? What is that?"

Miyano Miwa twisted her body and tilted her head back in her arms.

Fuyukawa Teru kissed her gently on the corner of the mouth and said with a smile: "Well, it means hurting the enemy by one thousand and hurting yourself by eight hundred. Obviously, Asai and Koharu, the woman, also understand that the ACT market is not as good as before, and they are not optimistic about the devil. The sequel to Legend of the Brave, but they would rather risk the company's interests and take this opportunity to give Xiaohe's faction a blow.

And by the way, it can also give us a slap in the face and strengthen the ideological stamp in our minds that "we cannot do without the Asai faction". If I hadn't thought wrong, Asai and Koharu, that woman, would most likely give us a sweet date in a while, and would further increase their support for our works. "

"I just thought about this, how are you going to deal with it?"

Miyano Miwa's eyes showed a thoughtful look. Fuyukawa Che shrugged indifferently, "No need to deal with it."

"Huh? This doesn't look like your proactive personality."

Miyano Miwa laughed, but there was no surprise in her smiling eyes.

Fuyukawa Che rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "The establishment of the Demon King of Heroes project seems to put pressure on us, but it is also an opportunity for us. Think about it, why is President Xiaohe so anxious and spending a lot of money to collect three parts? And why risk everything to make a sequel to Demon Lord Brave Legend? The purpose is not to regain their position in NTsoft, and Asai will definitely not let them ascend.

The closer we are to the Asai faction, the more resources Sekiro will get, and the more urgent it will be for Chairman Kozuru. Maybe they will increase the amount of Demon King Brave Legend, and if the Kozuru faction increases the amount, we can also get more resources on Asai's side. Get more resources and get more dividends.

They are now fighting like snipe and clam, and what we have to do is not to separate them, or attack one of them to make it "wake up", what we have to do now is to fight against the fire. The harder they fight, the better it is for us.

Dongchuan Che said nonchalantly.

After listening to Fuyukawa Teru's words, the admiration in Miyano Miba's eyes became even stronger. There was even a hint of admiration in her cold eyes compared to before.

This man is worth relying on.

At the thought of this, Miyano Miwa completely relaxed her body and mind. She crushed the big peach on her body again, raised her white neck, and gave Fuyukawa Che a charming look, "You guy, you really have eight hundred thoughts." As for me, he doesn’t look like a little guy in his twenties at all.”

"Please, if I don't have a good mind, how can I hold a beautiful female minister like you and chat with her now?"

"Hmph, glib~"

Although you are often praised for your beauty, the same words spoken by different people have different effects. Feeling the elasticity under the big peach, and listening to Fuyukawa Che's "ghost talk", Miyano Miba's cold little face turned red.

She glanced at the locked door, then her body gradually began to slide down, and finally she knelt in front of the boss's chair. The cold and shy big eyes looked up at Fuyukawa Che's playful eyes, and said angrily: "Don't think too much, you are just a tool for me to relax!"

"As you wish."

"."
.
  There is no doubt that as soon as the news came out that the three-part reboot of "Demon King Brave", with a higher investment of 80 million US dollars than "Sekiro", quickly caused an uproar within NTsoft!

The young people who had just joined the company were all discussing the game itself, but for the older employees, they were even more shocked that the Asai faction failed to stop this project on the board of directors!
  Is it going to change?

For a moment, people inside NTsoft were panicked, and at this moment, a piece of gossip began to circulate within NTsoft.

"Hey, hey, do you know? I heard that the three submitted proposals were to continue making ACT games, but privately they have decided to transform Demon King of Heroes into an ARPG!"

"seriously!"

"What's so surprising about this? The plan is not a contract, it's just a report for the leaders to see during the game project establishment stage. Generally, as the game develops, the plan will be constantly revised! They want to cut it off first and then reveal it later! I thought before It’s strange that the ACT market is so sluggish now, why would the company approve a large-scale game plan for ACT? It seems like that.”

"What does it look like?!"

"Stupid! The Xiaohe faction must have planned it a long time ago. They originally wanted to make an ARPG! ACT's plan was just a cover-up to confuse the president! However, even if it is difficult to successfully transform into an ARPG No, after all, many players are playing the game because of the name of [one of the originators of ACT games]. If the genre suddenly changes, the ending will be hard to say."

"No problem! I just heard from my friends from the third film that they are very confident this time! They can definitely beat out the new work of Light Bird!" "Is it true? It's so awesome? Haven't you started working on it yet? "

"It's different. I also heard that President Xiaohe seems to have mobilized his connections and found many retired company veterans to help pay attention to this product. Those are all the heroes who built NTsoft's world back then, and they are definitely not bad at it! "

In the tea room, several staff members were chatting in low voices. Outside the tea room, hearing these discussions, the chubby and honest-looking Kawaguchi secretly clenched his fists and said, "Head of the rumor spreading team, I, Kawaguchi, will be the boss this time." My fortune and life are all bet on you!"

Nervous, very nervous!
  Until I raised my head and glanced at the light bird signboard not far away, I remembered Fuyukawa Teru's promise "Fuck me from now on. I won't say that I can help you find a girlfriend, but at least I will make enough money for you to go to Kabukicho every day", and I thought of Fuyukawa again. With Che's promotion of him and Fuyukawa Che's ability, Kawaguchi's inner tension was relieved a lot.

"I, Kawaguchi, have been working at NTsoft for thirteen years! No one promoted me! No one looked at me twice! Only the team leader promoted me! Only the team leader took me out to drink and make connections, and even made me the department head! I am absolutely, absolutely We can’t live up to his expectations!”

After taking a sip of hot tea, Kawaguchi looked sad, but his eyes were full of hope. Then he walked back to the battle planning department briskly and sat down in the supervisor's position.

Yes, [the three new works are very powerful] [Chairman Xiaohe found his old subordinates and old partners to help with suggestions] and other news, Fuyukawa Teru asked Kawaguchi to spread it!
  For no other reason, Asai was taking advantage of Chairman Kokuru's power to hit him, Toru Fuyukawa, and he, Toru Fuyukawa, was not a vegetarian, so he just went along with the flow!

You scare me, I scare you too!

Let’s see who gets more benefits in the end!
  However, what is interesting is that although it was said to be a rumor, when the rumor spread, President Xiaohe became furious and launched an operation to "catch the mole" within the faction!
  Yes, she really just wants to use ACT's skin to paralyze Asai, and then make an ARPG with a bigger market!

Of course, she also knew that this paralysis would not last long, even speaking of
  They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so they are not playing funny games.

She also made the assumption that old foxes like Minister Asai and Koharu understood everything when they read the plan, but they are all under control!

There are also many examples of masterpieces transitioning to sudden death. This is a good opportunity for her Xiaohe faction to turn around. After all, Fuyukawa Cheru is now menacing. If it continues, it may become a frog boiled in warm water. As for waiting until "Sekiro" is released, watch " Will "Sekiro" die violently?
  She, President Xiaohe, is already over eighty this year and has only been around for a few years. If her flag falls, the Xiaohe faction will be leaderless. They must give it a try!
  The same goes for the Asai faction.

In the eyes of the Asai faction, she, President Xiaohe, is a thunder, and age is the timing device of this thunder, which will eventually explode. Instead of waiting until later, it would be better to take advantage of the fact that Che Fuyukawa has released two hit movies in a row and made a lot of money for the company!

In this way, even if the competition fails this time, there will be a layer of cushion underneath to prevent the fall from being too severe, and the risk of sudden death during the ACT transformation is very high, so similarly, this is also a great opportunity for the Asai faction to attack their Xiaohe faction!

This proposal, given the current situation, will be approved no matter what!

With these psychological preparations, there is no big problem in the news leaking in advance, but she, President Xiaohe, has a very strong personality, and this situation out of control makes her very crazy!
  President Xiao He went crazy, and Asai was almost the same.

Although the transformation of Demon Lord Brave Legend into an ARPG has long been anticipated and the risks have been estimated, the pressure is still there!

This is like shopping for expensive goods online. Although I know that the probability of the express delivery being damaged or buying a defective product is very small, I still have some worries before I receive the item or inspect the goods, especially when the outside world spreads [this batch of express delivery] In an environment where there is a possibility of being intercepted by gangsters, the inner uneasiness will become more serious!

This is a conspiracy!

And if Asai wants to solve this pressure
  The only choice now is to continue to increase the investment in Sekiro, and the only choice is to increase the investment and reuse Fuyukawa Teru!
  This year, NTsoft's board of directors has already approved two large-scale investment plans. At least this year, it is impossible to pass new large-scale plans. This means that at least this year, the only one that can compete with "Demon King Brave Legend" is "Sekiro". 》!
  Only "Sekiro"!
  I can't stand it any longer!

Not long after the rumors spread, Fuyukawa Teru and Miyano Miwa were invited to the president's office.

But what’s interesting is that Asai clearly regards him as an inexperienced rookie.

As soon as he arrived at the president's office, President Asai first cooperated with Minister Koharu's acting, and also tried to use "fear" to induce him to re-sign the non-compete agreement and sign a contract that required him to "calm down" after resigning. year's non-compete agreement. But when Tetsu Fuyukawa came to the door with the "Ninja Project Book" and said that according to the current budget, the production cost of 60 million US dollars may not be enough to produce the game, Asai and Koharu became paralyzed.

Riding a tiger and unable to get off, the two of them were immediately paralyzed!
  There was no suspense. When Fuyukawa Che came back from the president's office and returned to the floor belonging to Light Bird, when the employees of Light Bird saw the smile on his face, the entire Light Bird was boiling!
  The production cost of "Sekiro" has further increased!
  The 60 million US dollars was directly raised to 80 million US dollars. Although this proposal was only discussed with President Asai and has not yet passed the board of directors. In the end, part of it will probably be cut off, but even for a large production of 70 million US dollars, it is still very scary. Yes!
  And more importantly, the dividend has also increased by 1.3%!

Don’t underestimate this 1.3%. Sekiro is a big-budget production. Although it took three years to sell million units, Sekiro’s selling price is higher than “I’m Surrounded by Beauties” and “The Binding of Isaac” too much!

The members of Lightbird Studio are very excited!
  The same goes for Fuyukawa Che, but he doesn't have much time to get excited.
.
  "The production cost has increased, but the money is not paid directly to the account, but is allocated in batches. In other words, if "Sekiro" does not achieve very good results at the Tokyo Game Show in the middle of the year, it will still be reduced. Possibility of cost.”

"Promotional video, which boss fight is better in the promotional video?"

Back in the office, Fuyukawa Che leaned on the boss's chair, turned the chair, stared blankly at the ceiling, and kept thinking in his mind.

Game promotional videos don't mean just cutting out some CGs and adding explosive BGM. They all have a clear purpose.

Just like the first promotional video when Black Mythology just started production, the main purpose was to recruit people, so the focus was on gameplay, themes, and market feedback. The purpose was to let peers know what they were doing, what they wanted to do, and what they were doing. The market will pay for what you want to do.

So at the beginning, the old monkey narrates the theme, and then fights the big wolf Ling Xuzi to introduce the gameplay. In the last few minutes, various mixed cuts of Journey to the West gods and demons are used to boost market expectations and see the market reaction.

"The background story of Sekiro is in the fictional Warring States Period, and the theme of ninjas in Japan's Warring States Period is actually not too popular outside Japan. The subject matter is not the focus, but the gameplay."

Thinking of this, Dongchuan Che frowned slightly.

"Souls game" was a term that basically everyone who played stand-alone games knew in the previous life, but in fact, the starting point of souls games was not that high.

When Demon's Souls, the first Souls-based game, was first released, it was defined as a "mediocre game". A rating agency even gave the game a score of only 40 out of 20.

There were four judges, each with ten points, and only one of them, the editor, gave it 8 points.

There is nothing you can do. The difficulty of Souls-based games is too high, and Demon’s Souls is recognized as the most difficult of the Souls-based games. In addition, the battle scenes are not gorgeous enough. You just block, dodge, and slash, which is very easy to persuade. A newcomer who has never been exposed to the soul system.

"Gameplay is the core, but this promotional video cannot solely rely on gameplay as a selling point. I need to find other points that can stimulate players' interest."

I was thinking naggingly in my mind, but at this moment, the door of the office opened, and Sayoko, wearing an OL uniform, pushed in.

"Master Che, Yue Zhusang is here and is now at Nomu Sang's side."

"finally come."

Hearing the good news, Fuyukawa Che was shocked. It has been some time since the last fencing. During this period, Yuezhu Feiniao has not contacted him, and he has not even mentioned the matter of Xiaofen. This made him, Fuyukawa Che, think that he had made a strategic mistake, but now it seems that he has made a strategic mistake. Come.
  "This guy still couldn't resist the temptation."

Yuezhu Feiniao is definitely not coming to the company now to talk about [buying fans] face to face. He can only talk about being a motion capture actor, and a motion capture actor.
  Thinking of this, Dongchuan Che, who had just stood up, raised his eyebrows and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Motion capture actor? Kunoichi?!"

"What the hell, how about using the sexy female ninja as a selling point in the promotional video?!"

Sex and violence are always the most profitable and most arousing things!
  Sexy female ninja, with fresh soul-based gameplay!
  Maybe there is a clue!

but
  Thinking of this, Fuyukawa Che's expression became strange.

"Is this what the legend says, tricking people into killing them?"

"No matter! Players will definitely experience the joy of the soul system, and they will definitely feel my good intentions!"
