Onmyoji 2, on the basis of inheriting the tradition of Onmyoji 1, the character design is also more exquisite, the script is quite powerful, and it has a good reputation, so it soon triggered a wave of Onmyoji fever.

Sales are rising like rockets.

It sold out on the first day of sale, and within a week, sales exceeded 50,000 copies.

At the same time, due to the popularity of Onmyoji 2, it also drove the sales of Onmyoji 1.

After all, many of the plots of Onmyoji 2 are actually related to 1, although you can experience the joy and shock that Onmyoji 2 brings you without playing Onmyoji 1, but it will be a little insufficient on the line of Asakura Yuan.

You may not be able to appreciate the hesitation of this great onmyoji to make a decision in the face of his former love, and how cruel it is to choose between the common people in the world and the beloved.

Therefore, Onmyoji 2 attracted many players who had fantasies about the [game], but finally fell into the plot and shouted: [Furuhara Tsubaki, Sinai], after experiencing the game, in order to make up for it, so they went to buy Onmyoji 1.

There are pros and cons to this situation.

The advantage is that they are linked to each other, and after playing Onmyoji 1, I naturally want to see the follow-up plot, so I buy Onmyoji 2.

I bought Onmyoji 2 and wanted to understand the previous story, so I bought Onmyoji 1.

After the linkage, the sales volume of both will increase.

But the downside is also obvious-

Increased the threshold and difficulty of understanding Onmyoji 2, if you haven't experienced Onmyoji 1, there will indeed be some plots to see in the clouds.

Fortunately, both of these games are very good and classic games, and players do not feel sorry for buying them, but have a sense of satisfaction that has been filled in a gap in their hearts.

……

In short, the momentum of Onmyoji is flourishing, and sales miracles are one after another.

The only thing that can restrict Pokeni now is production capacity.

There is a process for foundry to burn cassette, and the key is that others can't just serve you as a game manufacturer, so even if you work hard day and night, it's still a lack of production capacity.

For the gaming industry, it can be described as incredible that a galgame game can sell to such an extent.

"Ah~! It turns out that galgame games can also do this kind of degree? Yoichi Kashikawa, the president of Koei Company, let out endless emotion.

After the major success of Age of Discovery, the game development team at Koei Company also saw the galgame potential that the Onmyoji series could bring.

"I thought that the group of players would be very small, but I didn't expect to contribute such a huge amount of purchasing power."

"Learned, learned, galgame games can actually do the same. The next game is to develop towards the galgame story game. ”

……

"It's amazing, I thought Pokeni's Onmyoji was just a flash in the pan, but I didn't expect the serial work to be such a huge success." Shigeru Kobayashi, the president of Bluvens, said with some disbelief.

In this way, making a galgame game is indeed the right path to go.

He turned his gaze to Takaya Mizutani, the chief planner at the opposite workstation, who was communicating with the art and programming.

So after going in the right direction, why did the game "Street Pickup" still suffer a tragic Waterloo?

Is it a misemployment?

But if Mizutani is expelled at this time, I wonder what the other members will think?

Why don't you see how the next game decides?

If the next game still doesn't have the slightest look, Mizutani will take the initiative to take the blame and resign!

……

Until now, Shigeru Kobayashi, who has not seriously studied the market and the psychology of players, has still not been able to accurately understand the reasons for the success of Onmyoji.

But other game companies have already taken the lead in accurately grasping the essence of this.

For example, ELF, which just released "Dragon Warrior" in the first half of this year, that is, the future famous Elf Society, has deeply understood that if Galgame is just a simple communication, then it is something that has no beauty at all.

But once the girls are given a personality and a beautiful story is written for them, then such a game will be brought to life.

After the baptism of "Onmyoji", "Dragon Warrior" is no longer the featureless "Dragon Warrior" in the previous life, the Elf Club has made the girls among the dragon warriors quite fine, and also learned from "Onmyoji", giving a tear-jerking ending.

Under such circumstances, the Dragon Warrior, which was released in November, actually achieved a terrible sales of 70,000 copies.

"Today's players are no longer satisfied with galgame games with simple plots and no sense of experience." The president of the Elf Society, Masato Hita, said in an interview with the media.

"When the game Onmyoji appeared, it had already pulled the galgame game to unprecedented heights."

"To put it more figuratively, then it's probably --

Before "Onmyoji", we ate coarse tea and light rice, but now, we have tasted the pleasure and long-lasting emotion brought by the peerless deliciousness, and it is hard to imagine what we used to eat. ”

"There's no going back. It turns out that the era when you could just make money by making love games can't go back. ”

……

In fact, coincidentally, Alice Software Co., Ltd., which was called the galgame world in the same life as the Elf Society, was also felt by producer TADA.

"Terrible!"

It's not just the opmyoji series that has terrible sales, it's the game changes that TADA sees are brought about by the Onmyoji series.

Regardless of the [Favorability] design, players need to work hard to improve the favorability of the female character in various ways in the game plot to achieve love.

Or the [Recall Mode] provided by the game——

You don't need to re-enter the game to click on the previous reminiscence in the replay mode.

These have become the standard in the industry.

"Terrible."

TADA SEEMS TO HAVE SEEN A MONSTER.

The producers of the Onmyoji series are terrifying monsters, and the perfection of these settings is as if they have traveled from the future to the present.

Directly copied the final answer on the test paper, and I couldn't give a full score if I didn't want to.

"Times are about to change!"

"A galgame era that has been redefined."
