"Thank you very much for your attention!" Qing Zhiyuan bowed deeply.

"No, no, we are the ones who are taken care of." Hiroyuki Hattori stood up and shook Seijiyuan's hand hard.

Qing Zhiyuan reached an agreement with Hiroyuki Hattori, and in the future, the Golden Thumb game sales chain will pre-purchase 1,000 copies of "Famous Academy".

The main reason is that I didn't come out on top last time, so this time President Hattori's action was very bold.

Pokeni is also a company with successful games in hand, and Qingzhiyuan's negotiations with dealers are very smooth.

The game has not yet been released, and 5,000 units have already been pre-sold.

This time, the size of the game is very small, and there is no need to add additional chips, so the price that Pokeni gave to the dealer was 3,000 yen.

In other words, even if the game is not on the shelves yet, Pokeni has basically returned to its original cost.

The total development cost, including the salaries of the members and the production of the cassette, cost more than 18 million in total, which was about the same as Qingzhiyuan's original expectations.

……

After signing the contract, I returned to the office in the afternoon.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Akane Ayase walking out of the dining cart pushing a 10-inch cake full of candles.

It's not anyone's birthday, it's mainly to congratulate the successful completion of the development of "Famous Academy" this time, and 5,000 copies have been pre-sold, so the members are extremely excited and happy.

"President, please use it." HR Akane Ayase handed the cutter to Sei Chi Yuan.

Qing Zhiyuan smiled slightly.

This little girl is getting more and more comfortable with the work of a secretary.

"I wish the game a big hit!"

Qing Zhiyuan blew out the candle and then cut the first knife.

"I wish the game a big hit!" The crowd cheered.

……

Just a week before the release of "Famous Academy", Bluwens's "Street Pickup" game was officially released.

Shigeru Kobayashi, the president of Bluvens, has high expectations for this game.

After all, this is the first game they have switched to game cartridges, and if they lose here, it will greatly affect morale.

Takaya Mizutani said that he was very nervous, and if it wasn't for Pokeni's "Onmyoji", he would have been confident in the game he made.

But now—

It's hard to say.

In particular, the main beauty basically doesn't follow his requirements, and especially has her own ideas.

After several revisions, the current game character settings and painting style can only be described as unsatisfactory.

As for the face......

It's hard to describe it in words.

Originally, there was a gap between the original design and Pokeni.,This time it looks quite discordant.。

But in terms of gameplay design and understanding of galgame, Mizutani feels that he is not inferior to Qing Zhiyuan.

……

After the game "Street Pickup" hit the shelves, the sales could be described as dismal.

A week has passed, and only more than 1,200 copies have been sold.

If this momentum continues, it may be less than 3,000 copies in the end.

This simply did not live up to Bluvens's expectations.

Players who have experienced this game have not given very good reviews.

"The setting of the characters is too simple, just like an empty shell without a soul, and you can't talk to them to understand the personality of the characters, and naturally you can't feel their beauty."

"The lack of challenge is also a very speechless point, like in the game "Onmyoji", it takes a lot of effort to get the heart of the character. But "Street Pickup" is too simple. ”

"If the characters are well drawn enough to be as delicate as Onmyoji, it doesn't matter if all the characters are super CUP, the problem is that the game "Street Pickup" is far from the level of Onmyoji in terms of quality and art style."

"What's it called?"

"There is no harm without contrast."

"Once you have Onmyoji, you will find that the galgames in the world are overshadowed."

"But I think we should be thankful for Onmyoji, which shows us what a galgame should look like and how high it should be."

"I hope that Bluvens can learn more from Pokeni and do a good job in the future galgame games, please show a little perseverance and challenge Pokeni! Come on!. ”

……

How can it be repaired!

When he saw the questionnaire that his colleagues had returned, Takaya Mizutani's lungs were about to explode.

Whoever made Pokeni's "Onmyoji" do so well has already fed the appetite of the players, and they can no longer look down on galgame games like "Street Pickup".

What made him even more angry was that-

The president and employees of the new owner were not able to make the game exactly as he asked, but in the end, as the main planner, he had to pay for the consequences of these people's vexatious trouble.

Mizutani looked up and found that President Kobayashi's face in the distance was not too good.

He couldn't help but hesitate-

Do you want to offer to leave before Shigeru Kobayashi fires himself?

At the very least, you can retain a little fragile self-esteem.

"Oh no, Pokeni's new game is coming to the shelves!"

Just then, a colleague from the operations department ran in through the door in a panic.

"Huh? Really? So fast?! Takaya Mizutani swooped up from his chair.
