Gotta Go the Healing Route

"Besides, Miss Ziwan, you said before that it doesn't matter if you have a side job."

"You already have enough side jobs. Didn't Risheng formally invite you to be an art consultant for machine design?"

Risheng Company is preparing to start producing a new original Gundam animation. The production list has been announced before, and Kazama Yu is also on the list.

"Machine? I'm done..."

Kazama Xi directly copied a batch of seed body design drawings with her golden finger and handed them to Gao Muliang.For him, it was a one-shot deal.

"This..."

Uemura Aster was speechless for a while, and she took a deep breath.

It's still hard to believe that the author would suddenly tell her that she wants to be a galgame.

In the acgn cultural circle, comics, animations, games and novels are not separated.However, once there are many elements in a circle, the birth of a chain of contempt is inevitable.

There is also a hidden chain of contempt in the ACG circle, just like traditional literature looks down on new cultural products such as comics and fantasy novels, it is inevitable.

What is galgame?

Although it has become popular due to the rise of doujin culture this year, visual novels like galgame are only a branch of the game and belong to a subculture.

And this subculture has been doomed to be unrefined since its birth.Because galgame and r18 are closely linked together.

After Yu Kazama said that she wanted to engage in galgames, the first word Aster Uemura thought of was 'going to sea'.

Going to the sea was originally a "black word" in the modern bottom society, which means engaging in improper behavior.After becoming a buzzword on the Internet, it refers to special work.

However, going into the sea is generally forced by life and forced to do nothing.

There are so many creators in the comics industry in the island country, but there are still a few who can really be serialized in serious magazines.Some down-and-out cartoonists also had to choose to go into the sea and start drawing books, which is understandable.

But who is Feng Jianxi?

If we say that the painters of this book are pretty, unknown dancers.That Feng Jianxi is a natural beauty, national beauty and heavenly fragrance, a well-known national goddess idol.

The former can be said to be forced by life and had to go to sea, so what is the latter?

Experience life?

Seeing Aster Uemura's expression, Yu Kazama seemed to guess what her editor was thinking, and her face darkened.

Kazama Xi couldn't help but interrupt Uemura Ziwan's wild thoughts: "Don't think too much."

But then, Kazama Xi himself sighed.

The concept of Aster Uemura and the formation of this chain of contempt were originally born out of reality.

Galgame is an R18 game, and it is a branch of the gray marginal zone in the game circle. This is indeed a fact.

In the final analysis, it is still because of the market: galgame was originally born to cater to targeted groups with specific elements such as beautiful girls, cute love, fantasy kings.Once an industry impression is formed, it is difficult to wash off the vulgar label.

but....

Feng Jianxi shook his head again.

May I ask, why is a game like galgame made?

Of course, it can be said that it provides the feeling of being in love, meets various needs, and makes many beautiful dreams come true.

However, putting aside the game elements and only looking at the framework of the galgame and the gameplay of the visual novel, Kazama Xi feels that the existence of the mode of the visual novel is the same as other works of art, and it is also trying to convey a certain idea in order to A large number of music, paintings and texts show the vast world in the author's mind, allowing players passing by to stop and marvel at the beauty.

Aside from those high-purity works that are aimed at rushing, there are also many excellent works in gal.

Such as "Eternal Wings".It is true that Eternal Wings is Huangyou, but without this kind of plot, the plot of pure love alone can move countless players to tears.

Except for r18, there are many masterpieces of all ages in galgame, such as the works of Key Club, and the Steins Gate produced by 5pb. These are all obtained by the quality of their own works and the excellent plot stories. successful.

Of course, in this different time and space...

Well, the galgame market in different time and space is indeed very pure in terms of butter, and most production companies are firm beginners.

Thinking of this, Kazama Xi now has a new goal as a gal.

Although it is very difficult to change the status quo of this market by one's own efforts, it is necessary to let those who have a fixed impression of gals know that gals are not just butter, but can also produce works with profound connotations and excellent stories.

'The workload will increase again...Maybe after the sex month is over, gals like Shitoumen can also come out. ' Kazama Xi thought.

PS: There is only 2k chapter today, and it will be added tomorrow.

Chapter 270: Buying a Studio

The reason why he developed into the field of galgames was to reproduce the IP of Xingyue.

However, after making the famous gals of Xingyue, those gals who were popular in the previous life except Tsukihime fate, if the time is right, Kazama Xi will also come out.

Of course, now his focus is still on Xingyue.

When she came back to her senses, Kazama Xi's gaze returned to Uemura Ziwan.Miss Uemura is frowning now, as if she is worried about how to persuade her author to turn around.

I want to do a galgame myself, why do I have to tell Uemura Aster.

In addition to Uemura being his own editor, there is also that Xi Kazama wants to ask her for help in this regard.

Seemingly sensing the gaze cast by Kazama Yuki, Uemura Ziwan trembled.

"What... what's wrong?"

"nothing..."

Kazama Xi smiled slightly.

"There is something I would like to ask Sister Ziwan for help."

Seeing the boy's smile, Uemura Ziwan felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"What...what's the matter?" Aster Uemura asked weakly.

"It's not a big deal. I'm very interested in galgames, and I want to make a galgame. But I have a specialization in the art industry, and I can't do it alone."

"Want me to help you make it together?" Uemura Aster shook her head immediately.

"I studied management in college, and I don't know anything about it."

"You think too much. What I mean is, I want Miss Uemura to help me find a game studio."

The production of galgame is not like comics, it is difficult for individuals to complete, and it is basically teamwork.But in terms of galgame production, Kazama Xi knew only the game production club founded by Anyi Kanta.

However, that kind of school club is no different from the Grass Team, with only four people in addition to Feng Jianxi.The hardware and software are very poor, and it seems a bit reluctant to be a short-story gal like "The Song of Saya".

It's not to say that the game production club that Xi Kazama joined must not be able to produce those works of Xingyue.But if you want to get there, it is inevitable to expand the association and find more professionals to participate.

In fact, many big gal factories started out with a group of like-minded producers slowly accumulating from the community model and groping for a way to start.

However, in this case, the time span is too large.It is too inefficient to collect related production staff one by one.

The galgame market in different time and space is still in its golden heyday, but with the development of the Internet and the rise of mobile games, it is only a matter of time before galgame declines.

Although Kazama Xi didn't know when this different time and space galgame would decline, he certainly didn't have much time to develop slowly.

Combining the above considerations, Kazama Xi decided to directly use the chicken to lay the egg.He wants to directly buy a game studio with a certain technical foundation.

It is not too difficult to directly acquire a studio, as long as the money is in place.

Moreover, the acg industry in different time and space is relatively developed. Every once in a while, many teams enter this industry with dreams and dreams of making a fortune.But at the same time, many teams and studios that entered this market first had to withdraw from this industry because of the cruel reality and poor management.

In the galgame market where the competition has become fierce, the phenomenon of homogenization has already emerged.Those who can say that they can make a steady profit without losing money are those big factories.The profits and losses of medium-sized production companies have fluctuated somewhat, while most small game studios are even worse, and many of them are in a position of loss.

Kazama Xi is aiming at these small and medium-sized game studios that are losing money and have difficulty launching new games.

However, Feng Jianxi doesn't know much about this aspect. Although he has a lot of spare money, he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

At this time, you can ask Miss Uemura to help.

Although Aster Uemura has not been working in the editing industry for too long, thanks to Kazama Xi, she also met many producers and accumulated some contacts in advance.

The relationship between the acg industry has always been very close, and there is cooperation between them.In terms of the game industry, I think Aster Uemura will have some connections of her own.

"Buy...buy a studio?"

Hearing Kazama Yui's words, Uemura Ziwan exclaimed.

If it's about finding someone to cooperate with and forming an association-type team to produce galgames, Aster Uemura believed that Kazama Yuki really played out of interest.

But if you want to buy a studio and start making galgames, Aster Uemura doesn't really play because of 'interest'.

"Wait, Mr. Xi, are you serious?"

Aster Uemura spoke immediately.

"I'm going to buy a studio...I want to tell you clearly, it's hard to make money in the galgame market now."

After all, this is a gray game industry, the user group is also very limited, the market size is there, and the competition is fierce... To make money from this, it is better to draw comics with peace of mind.

Like Kazama Xi’s previous works, taking Moyuan as an example, the copyright fees for film and television adaptations, royalties for booklets, and copyright profits for various peripherals are definitely more than a big gal company making a big-selling game. many.

Kazama Xi was of course very clear about what Aster Uemura said.

It is very difficult for Galgame to become the source of adaptation of animation, film and television, and even other types of games like comics.

But Kazama Xi didn't think about simply being a gal.

When it comes to the most profitable and the most commercial potential, it is still a large-scale IP that can form an ecological chain and can develop in many fields such as games, comics, animation, novels, and movies.

The Xingyue that Kazama Xi wanted to do was an IP that was called "one of the three Japanese miracles" in the Chinese fandom circle in his previous life. It is not only the end of Galgame's glory, but also the last elegy of this subculture.

Commercial potential... Wasn't the world's most lucrative mobile game "FGO" in the previous life based on Xingyue's world view?

The animation of the Fate series is not counted, and the theatrical version is still showing in domestic movie theaters. Isn't this enough to prove its commercial potential?

"You can also understand that I want to start a business..."

Xi Kazama said that he didn't want to explain to Aster Uemura yet.If Xingyue starts to do it, it will be the best explanation if there are achievements.

"However, Miss Ziwan, you can also rest assured that I will not delay the manga."

"In June, I will start the creation of the new series immediately."

"Sister Ziwan, can you help me with this?"

Now that it's all said and done, what else can Aster Uemura say.

She is an editor, and the editor's responsibility is to assist the author in creating.As long as it doesn't affect the manga, she can really help with these things.

"Ok."
