"Let's start introducing the game," Yamada Katsukei opened the game, and everyone in the meeting frowned at the interface, "I know you may have doubts about this game, but please don't speak and comment until I'm done with the whole demo." ”

I don't blame Yamada Katsukei for saying this, as soon as this game opens, it gives people the feeling of playing "Pokémon Pitch Black Phantom", complete pixel style.

Even at the beginning of the game, Amamiya Chizuru's face instantly turned wrong.

Because this idea seems to be rare except for the fact that Butter will use a lot of pixel RPG games as the theme.

She usually plays butter a lot, for fear that this second game is really butter...... For such an important occasion as a company meeting, it shouldn't be enough to come up with a piece of butter, right?

After thinking about it for a long time, Amamiya Chizuru suddenly figured out why the characters in the ppt looked awkward, if the clothes were gone, wouldn't it be the characters in the butter dialogue?

But she still resisted her curiosity and continued to watch Yamada Shengjing explain the game.

Very different pixel art games, more refined than the arcade games I saw on red and white machines more than ten years ago, but that's all, the level is at the moment, and it's only on par with the dozen pixel games sold on Steam.

With such a game, can you also seek company investment?

The story tells the story of a boy with a talent for magic who lives a peaceful life of farming and raising chickens in a quiet small village, when an injured girl breaks into the door one night and also breaks into his life.

The girl had nowhere else to go and begged the boy to take him in and be willing to work as a maid in his house.

The kind boy agreed.,So the girl stayed to take care of the boy's daily life.,Teach him magic.,The days are still so peaceful.,The player controls the male master.,The whole early stage of Pingtang's life is a novice tutorial.,Familiar with the use of magic and item interaction.。

During the period, you can also be like Sylvie do.,Control the male owner to interact with the female owner.,There is a certain meaning of galgame.,In fact, this is also teaching players how to use it.,There is also galgame content in the later stages of the game.。

It's just that unlike Sylvie, it's not butter.

One day later,A group of cavalry broke into the village where the male owner lived.,Slaughtered the village and took away the girl.,The male owner escaped death only to learn that the girl was the princess of the enemy country.,To be captured back as a hostage.。

The prologue of the game ends, and the game officially begins.

The shareholders' original doubts and bad feelings gradually subsided, at least from the prologue, the game system is very well done, the combat mechanics are very interesting, you can switch back and forth between turn-based and control battles, and the richness of various auxiliary content is comparable to that of "Zombie Destruction Project".

After the prologue, the male protagonist embarks on a journey of revenge and finding the female protagonist, in between which he will travel to different towns, shuttle through forests and secret realms, and meet beautiful girls of different races and personalities.

It's hard to imagine a game that looks so rough.,It actually contains such a rich content.,If you don't want to follow the main line, you can play it as a galgame.,The heroine with a different strategy...... Except that the game production team seems to be quite poor.,There's no vertical painting in the dialogue.,I always feel a little less flavorful.。

The music also needs to be improved, is there no money to hire a music production team? It's all the material music on the game website.,The BGM of the battle makes people instantly play.。

Yamada Katsukei has put a lot of effort into this game, and he has prepared a lot of saves to introduce the full content of the game, and if you start from scratch, one night will definitely not be enough.

The game is rich in content and has a long process, which is not boring and time-consuming, and after the presentation of Yamada Katsukei, the shareholders have not been as disparaging about the game as it was at the beginning.

"Do you guys have anything to say?" Katsuki Yamada looked at everyone in the room, looking forward to seeing if anyone would ask the question he cared about.

It's like this game was really made by him, eager for players to discover their buried easter eggs.

This is where the charm of this game comes in, and it has captured the heart of Yamada Katsukei before you know it.

One shareholder spoke: "The game content is okay, but the problem is ...... The pixel game is too pully, isn't it good to make something else? ”

Another shareholder nodded in agreement: "This production team is obviously not sincere enough!" Wen Huan writes so well, do you have the money to hire Wen Huan's script, but don't you have the money to hire an artist? After the whole game is played, there is not even an avatar in the dialog box, yes, Wen Yu is good enough to judge who is speaking by context, and there is no need to look at the name...... But it's obviously better to have a standing painting! ”

The shareholder just added: "Yes, most games with dialogue, if it is too long, players will choose to skip it, and this production team is obviously put into it, Wen Yu is very well written, and there is a desire for people to read it and understand the backstory...... But shouldn't this be more elaborate in the dialog box? No matter what the production team says, they should also hire an artist, right? ”

"That's it!"

"The production team is so lazy! And the music! The person in charge of their music is so good, and the team agrees? If you don't give Wen Yu and the one who writes the program, let's fire and replace it quickly! ”

After the demo of the game, the shareholders were very angry that the game was obviously in the alley, as if the game was made by their own company, and they were going to fire the artists and music on the spot.

Poor can't be like this?

Even if the production team has no money, can they afford to pay a month's salary? Take this month's salary to find an artist and music with less fees, it's completely enough!

Yamada Katsuki smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Do you think the production team of this game is weird, it can be better, but there are flaws in many places?"

The shareholders nodded one after another, indicating that all the people in this production team eat dry food? Are art and music college students paid for money?

"And what if I told you that this game is a personal production?"

Yamada Katsukei enjoyed the feeling of being able to tell the secret, and he looked around at everyone in the room, smiled and slowly said the news that made him feel incredible.

Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't describe it as surprised!

There are grumpy shareholders who have already slapped the table and shook their heads: "Impossible, Vice Chairman Yamada, don't be fooled by them!" In the past, there was also this.,The game was done in a decent way.,In order to succeed in the bidding, they lied that it was a personal production to cheat money.,In fact, it's also a small team of several people...... You tell them, let them tell the truth. At this level of this game, as long as it is a small team of less than five people, it is also very powerful, and the investment is ...... This investment can be discussed again! ”

Amamiya Chizuru was also surprised, because Sister Natsuki said that it was difficult to make games alone, and she also suffered a lot when she tried to make games alone.

Even the industry elite who exists like Natsuki has worked hard to make a game, and there is really someone who can ......

Oh!

And that stupid wood!

Amamiya Chizuru came back to her senses, no wonder she didn't believe it when she heard that the game was made by herself.

Because in her mind, to be able to complete a game by herself, only that wooden senior has this possibility.

She always felt that only Naoki Natsume herself could accomplish such a feat, so she didn't trust others.

"I don't know what's in the USB flash drive, but I hope it's the game you made." Amamiya Chizuru muttered to herself.

After Naoki Natsume gave her the USB flash drive that day, she fantasized about whether it would be a game he made himself?

I was planning to find some spare time to take a good look at the contents of the USB flash drive.,With Natsume Naoki's understanding of her.,It's either a homemade game or a small movie or butter.,Anyway, it's an existence that can't be seen by others.。

But coincidentally, in the past few nights, the head maid has been tutoring her on business knowledge and analyzing the content structure of the Butterfly Society, and she can't find a chance to be alone.

It was late after the head maid left her room, and she was so busy washing up and sleeping that she forgot to look at the USB stick...... Tsk, I don't seem to have enough brains lately.

"When I go back tonight, I must see what's in the USB stick." Amamiya Chizuru made up her mind in her heart.

"My suggestion is that Mr. Yamada must ask if the production of this game was done by himself." Amamiya Chizuru also spoke.

She is still a little selfish, it is undeniable that there are many geniuses in this world, and there may be others who can complete a game of this level independently, but at least ......

Amamiya Chizuru thought to herself, at least the first personal game she saw was made by Naoki Natsume, a stupid wood.

This "first" tangle everyone has, light or heavy.

Even the object of her first kiss is Naoki Natsume, and it's best that his first time can be taken down by herself.

"But if you take 10,000 steps back, if it's really a personal production, then the shortcomings of this game can be said to be over."

The eldest shareholder touched his beard and muttered, "The game uses pixel art, which saves a lot of time, otherwise how much time would it take for a personal production to switch to a 3D game?" You have to model and type code...... Gee. ”

"Yes, just in this case, writing the underlying code and text, game process, etc., is done by one person, and it is still difficult to imagine how many difficulties and failures have been experienced!"

"The combination of moves, the attributes of the items, and the distribution of the props in there...... If these things weren't copied or ready-made, it would take months just to think about them, right? I just watched the demo of Deputy Dong, a thousand strange monsters, drops, items and props, etc...... Talent, no, Wizard! ”

Every boy may fantasize about something when he is young, and then record his fantasy continent, or draw or write, or a combination of the two.

And the author of this game actually fulfilled the dream of every boy when he was young, and he perfectly restored the world, customs and human geography in his mind...... There is also a library in the town in the game, where you can even read books, various travelogues, otherworldly history, urban legends, and so on.

The shareholders looked at each other, then nodded affirmatively, and looked at Yamada Shengjing: "We unanimously decided to ask the deputy director to investigate clearly, if this game is really made by individuals, the two places in the company will be reserved for this genius." ”

Yamada Katsukei looked at the remaining three USB flash drives, "My suggestion is to read them all before making a decision, and there is also a very good game made by a team in the remaining three." Although this wizard is powerful, don't forget that his personal power is always limited, we can only say that his potential is terrifying, but to invest in him, the effect is very slow. ”

The deputy director's remarks plunged the board of directors into discussion again.

Yes, being able to make a game by yourself is still full of praise, which is really powerful, and it must be another Hidetaka Miyazaki in time.

However, players don't pay for the gimmick of making it independently, they still look at which game is more refined and fun.

This genius's game, to put it realistically, is difficult to make money, unless he is equipped with a complete team, at least two excellent programmers, a great artist, and an excellent music team, so that it is possible to make a hit.

What to do?

The company is now in dire need of life-saving games, and investing in wizards is a long-term and stable choice, but if the company does not have a desperate game to stand up and support the field first, it will not be able to survive for a long time.

"That's it!" Katsuki Yamada suddenly came up with an idea: "Aren't we planning to sign a few outstanding university teams for the Waseda Campus Festival in order to expand our influence?" ”

The shareholders were stunned, and then happy.

That's right!

Why didn't we think of this?

"Vice Dong, you mean, we won't participate in Waseda?"

"No, no, no," Yamada Katsuki shook his head: "I still have to participate, and I can't regret it." But we can reserve the quota for Waseda...... Those funds were used to sign a third game. ”

He counted the USB flash drive in front of him and said: "I'll wait to confirm this personal maker, and then let's sign three more from the remaining four USB flash drives that can make quick money, stabilize the company's operation after making money, and then invest in this wizard, what do you think?" ”

The shareholders were lost in thought, and it was clearly a good idea, but ......

"But Vice Director, the Waseda Campus Festival is about to start, if there are potential college students over there, we will get all the money back and invest, and what if we can't sign other outstanding works at that time?"

Yamada Katsukei smiled contemptuously: "After you have seen the works of the wizard, do you still think that there is a team of college students who can surpass him?" After all, college students are college students, and the works made by a team are enough to have this level, even if there are individual teams that can compete with wizards, why should we sign a team instead of signing an individual? ”

Amamiya Chizuru thought about it, and it could only be like this.

But she always felt that there was something wrong, but her mind couldn't think of it for a while.

"Then let's talk about the third game!" Yamada Katsukei handed the USB flash drive he had already talked about to the staff and asked him to put it away, and without waiting for the staff to say anything, he had already thrown the USB flash drive into the small basket in front of him.

He was sweating profusely, and he pestled his companion with his hand: "Hey, do you remember what Miss Amamiya's USB flash drive looks like?" ”

"It's black, it's ordinary."

"But this ......"

He showed his companion his basket, and there were two identical USB sticks in it!

"Broken ......"

After the meeting, Amamiya Chizuru took his things, and the two staff members looked at the 5 USB sticks left in the basket with trepidation, feeling that the unemployment was already thinking about beckoning.

Taking advantage of the fact that the deputy director and shareholders had left, they hurriedly took the remaining black USB flash drive and inserted it into the computer to take a look, if they had never seen the contents inside, they quickly called the deputy director and asked him to exchange the USB flash drive with the eldest lady.

That means that Ms. Amamiya took away the black USB flash drive used for the game demo!

As a result, I opened it and saw that it was a compressed package.,After decompression,Inside is the so-called personal game introduced at today's meeting.。

"Whew...... That's right, that's right, this is a game USB flash drive, and what Miss Amamiya took away was her own. An employee wiped his sweat and let go of his hanging heart.

"Huh?" Another person frowned: "What about PPT?" You deleted the ppt? ”

There is only one compressed package in the U disk folder, and the ppt has disappeared.

"Who knows, maybe the deputy director deleted it!"
