Onmyoji's game has an antique taste, but the painting style is a bit of a second-generation feeling in it, exquisite and beautiful, especially the original artist's treatment of the image, which can be described as a master of art.

Even on a machine with limited color support, such as a red and white machine, it can still be tailored to create an extraordinary effect.

"Nene, have you played Onmyoji?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"It's amazing, it's said to be on the screen."

"I played, the graphics are superb! Don't do it much? ”

This is the evaluation given by the employees of the "Street Pickup" project team in Brookance.

"yes, with such a comparison, I feel like we're just a piece of."

"Shh......h Don't be heard by the president. ”

"It's not okay to be heard by the mastermind."

“……”

It just so happened that Takashi Mizutani was passing by and heard the conversation of several people in his ears.

"You have this time, why don't you work hard and find a way to make our game better."

In fact, on the first day of the release of Pokeni's Onmyoji, Mizutani had already gotten his hands on the game.

It's not because of anything else, but I just want to see how the new game is being made by my old club.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's shocking to see it.

When Takashi Mizutani also plugged in the cassette and started running the game, he was immediately attracted by the beautiful graphics of Onmyoji.

Such a shocking style of painting,The degree of exquisiteness is no less than the level of animation.,Before the appearance of "Onmyoji", Mizutani Takashi didn't dare to imagine that this was actually a game that could be experienced on a red and white machine.

This rare level of graphics alone is enough to make this game go down in the history books of gaming.

However, the subsequent market feedback seems to be somewhat incomprehensible to Mizutani.

Because so far, "Onmyoji" has been on sale for a week, and it seems that only a few hundred copies have been sold.

You must know that the first month of the game's release is crucial, which is similar to watching a movie, and the main box office contribution is basically concentrated in the first month after the release, because basically everyone who wants to watch it will go to see it, and the rest is not so attractive to them.

In the future, it may be spoiled by others.

The same is true for games, which account for about 50 percent of total sales in the first month.

According to the current sales trend of "Onmyoji", Takashi Mizutani is also very skeptical that this broken game can have 3,000 sales in the end.

"It seems like that's all there is to it."

Mizutani pursed his lips, and a casual smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

"Huh?"

It's weird.

Judging by Mizutani's quality of this game, it shouldn't have been achieved with such a faint result.

But he quickly figured it out.

"Sure enough, my judgment is still correct, how can RPG and galgame be combined? Players simply can't accept such a slow-paced gameplay. ”

It can only be said that for a company, it is really a disaster for someone who doesn't understand games to become the president.

As for Qing Zhiyuan, there is absolutely nothing to say about the original painting ability, according to Mizutani's own observation and judgment, Qing Zhiyuan can achieve this level of the picture of "Onmyoji", and he can already crush their current main beauty Aoyama by several grades.

But this person doesn't understand the game, and no matter how good the picture is, it's just a waste.

"Hey, it would be great if Qing Zhiyuan could be an artist for me."

Mizutani muttered to himself as he took the "Onmyoji" card and walked into the conference room.

It's time to give the artists at Buvens some color.

……

The current situation of Onmyoji players is-

Although the end of this game is really heart-wrenching, it is truly a masterpiece.

However, even if it has achieved a good reputation, the sales of "Onmyoji" do not seem to be very good, far from meeting Qing Zhiyuan's expectations.

"How so?"

Seriously, so far, Qing Zhiyuan, like Mizutani, hasn't figured it out too much-

Why is my work so good, first-class picture quality, first-class plot, first-class characters and first-class combat...... Why didn't the game get good results?

Sure enough, shouldn't RPGs be combined with galgame games?

Qing Zhiyuan clasped his hands and frowned, having self-doubt.

But it shouldn't be.,Many games in the future will also have rich plots.,Is it because we're too hard?

The psychological capacity of players in the 90s should not be so fragile.

Look at Mika Ishino next to her, the big murder girl has the same expression as him, and it is extremely uncomfortable.

After all, she wrote the script for this game.

Including "Onmyoji", Mika Ishino has already done two failed games.

Or rather, she hasn't done a successful project since she joined the company after graduating from college.

Isn't that too shocking?

"Let's go." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Huh? Where to go? Mika Ishino looked confused.

"Go and see it on the ground." Qing Zhiyuan picked up his coat, "If you don't investigate carefully, you don't know what the problem is." ”

……

After carefully visiting several game stores, and interviewing some "Onmyoji" players, Qing Zhiyuan finally found the root of the problem -

There are no problems with the game itself.

And the players have a very high rating.

Aside from the fact that they weren't very happy with the ending and always had an expression of wanting to eat Pokeni's members alive, players agreed that Onmyoji was definitely a great game that could be included in the masterpiece.

emmmm……

The main problem lies in the arrangement of the store.

After visiting several large game stores, especially the Golden Thumb chain stores, Qing Zhiyuan found that these stores habitually placed the game cartridges of "Onmyoji" in relatively remote locations.

For example, the bottom of the shelf, or the top, or the corner.

These locations are hard to spot.

Even these game stores didn't even put up posters of Onmyoji.

In this way, the sales of "Onmyoji" will naturally not be too good.

Only in DUN's own channels, that is, in some audio-visual stores, will "Onmyoji" be placed in a prominent position.

Seeing this, Qing Zhiyuan was unusually angry, turned his head and went to find Nao Tsuda.

……

At first, Nao Tsuda was a little confused, but after listening to Qing Zhiyuan's statement, he reacted-

Those game sellers are really disgusting.

Saying that he wants to help is actually equivalent to hiding "Onmyoji" in the snow.

Moreover, at that time, there was Nao Tsuda's own promise that "if it can't be sold, DUN will be recycled", they were even more unscrupulous.

These old foxes......

"I see. I'll call them. ”

Nao Tsuda narrowed her eyes, and there was a touch of anger on her face.

"Hello, I'm Tsuda. President Hattori, why did your game sales chain put the position of "Onmyoji" in the corner, and how could it be possible to have good sales? ”

Hattori chuckled on the other side of the phone, as if he had long known that Tsuda would call him, "If you have good grades, you will naturally put them in a good visible position, and if you don't have good grades, you will naturally go to the corner to eat ashes, isn't this how it should be?" We all have professional operation processes.

And where the game itself is put on the shelves also depends on the company and the quality of the work.

Are we going to put Super Mario in the corner of Renten? ”

Qing Zhiyuan was so angry when he heard these words next to him.
