Everything is arranged, and the animation will be handed over to KyoAni for production, and the schedule on TEPCO's side will be scheduled until January next spring.

After this matter was completed, Qing Zhiyuan was a little relieved.

However, the psychological pressure is still very high.

Although there is a DUN to share the costs, the financial situation on the pokeni side is still strained.

Of course, when you think about it, you have managed to earn 200 million or 300 million yen, but now you have spent more than half of the company's own game development expenses alone.

Another 100 million was spent on animation production, and TEPCO also spent a lot of money.

In order to develop game consoles with Sega and Sony, Pokeni also borrowed 1 billion from the bank with DUN as a guarantee.

If you do the math, Pokeni is still in deficit.

Yes......

Sure enough, expansion is like spending money.

Except for Ren Tian, who has always insisted on a debt-free operation, other companies have more or less debts.

In particular, Sega borrowed a lot of money from banks in order to fight the console war.

This also lays the groundwork for the company's future bankruptcy.

From this point of view, Sega's Hayao Nakayama is really a true gambler.

I really like to give it a go and put a lot of money on it.

If a console doesn't sell well, it will drag the entire Sega into the abyss of bankruptcy.

Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but shudder.

You still have to be cautious in the future, but don't repeat the mistakes of the previous Sega.

Seriously, it doesn't feel good to be in debt.

If Qing Zhiyuan hadn't been in a hurry to get on the bus, the 1 billion that he borrowed from the bank would not have been necessary at all.

……

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it's October.

Diablo has been developed and is in the late stages of testing.

As long as the bug converges more or less, it can be put on the shelf.

The progress of Diablo's development is very gratifying, and it can be seen from the excitement and the expressions on the faces of the members-

It's a good game.

In the afternoon, when I went to smoke on the rooftop of the building, I happened to meet the main program Ken Akanishi.

Blue sky and white clouds, the sun is just right.

The two sat on the bench and chatted for a while.

Ken Akanishi said with a smile while smoking, "President, you're really good enough to come up with a game like Diablo." ”

He let out a sigh and looked up at the bright sun in the sky.

Since the end of October, the weather has turned cooler, and it is quite comfortable to come up and bask in the sun.

He was telling the truth.

During this period of time, although Ken Akanishi felt unusually tired, it can even be said that the development of Diablo made his hairline move back a lot.

Because Diablo is not an ordinary game, it was basically turn-based combat before, but now it has become a real-time combat mode.

What's even more terrifying is that the monster farming mechanism has to be added, and the AI aspect of the monster is also very problematic.

The [random structure] of the labyrinth underneath almost made the program apes feel collapsed.

At that time, Akanishi Ken also quarreled with Qing Zhiyuan a lot because of this.

[Is this a setting something that humans can come up with?] 】

[How can such an excessive request be realized?] 】

[Please think about it, isn't this a bit too much?] Do you have any common sense? 】

[Can planners be regarded as a reality, saying that if they can't achieve it, they can't achieve it!] 】

Akanishi Ken complained a lot, and even in the dead of night, he wanted to leave his job.

Such a company is really devastating to the programming ape.

But......

Every time, Qingzhiyuan can always find a solution and successfully convince them.

And when all this slowly became a reality, Akanishi Ken was extremely satisfied in his heart.

There is an extraordinary sense of accomplishment.

When you've completed a task that you thought you would never be able to complete.

When you defeat an opponent you can never beat.

When you make it to the top, and then you look back, you will find that-

The hard work, sweat, unwillingness and swearing before seemed to be worth it.

"It's really amazing to be able to develop a game like Dark."

Ken Akanishi smiled and took a puff of the cigarette in his mouth.

"To be able to come up with such a great game, to be able to come up with reasonable solutions, and even to be able to provide guidance in the field of programming, President, you really exceeded my expectations."

"You weren't like that before."

Ale?

Qing Zhiyuan chrysanthemum tightened.

Is the identity of the traverser about to be revealed?

"If you think about it, you can do this," Ken Akanishi sighed with his head down, "It only means that you are working harder than everyone sees, right?" ”

"Hmm......" Qing Zhiyuan smiled embarrassedly, "Sort of." ”

Yes......

Sure enough, if it weren't for extraordinary perseverance and dedication, it would not have been possible to get to this point.

The pressure on the president over the years has also been too great.

"Don't you have to sleep?"

"Ah...... This ......" Qing Zhiyuan tilted his head and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

"Pay attention to your body, otherwise when you turn 30, you will go downhill."

Ken Akanishi looked straight ahead with his eyes and didn't look at him.

There was a two-second pause, "And, once in a while, please rely on us a little more, right?" ”

"Don't make my main program look like an ornament."

"Okay, okay." Qing Zhiyuan smiled happily.

This guy probably hasn't realized the seriousness of the problem, right?

Now to say this kind of big talk, there are many places that will require the efforts of the program in the future.

"Well, but it's fun."

"I have been able to work with you for so many years." Akanishi Ken sighed with a smile, "At first, I couldn't be sure, but now the feeling in my heart is getting stronger and stronger." ”

"Huh?"

"It's what it feels like to be successful." Ken Akanishi pointed to the sun in the sky, "It's not very bright yet, but just like this sun, pokeni will shine brightly in a while." ”

It's not necessarily possible to hit neon first.

"Well, it would be great if that was the case." Qing Zhiyuan laughed.

Being recognized, especially the old employees of his own company, and the recognition of Chi Xijian, who has been with him for so many years, makes Qing Zhiyuan's heart extremely satisfied.

In an excellent company, the members are full of pride and a sense of identity with their own company.

As long as the employees are confident, it means that they are on the way forward.

"Shinji Mikami, that guy was trained quite excessively by the president." Akanishi Ken said with a smile, "I'm obviously a newcomer who has just joined the work for a short time, and now I have grown quite a lot."

I wonder if the next game can be the main planner. ”

"Well, that's what I'm looking forward to." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"But I mean, president, shouldn't you think about your personal problems?"

"Huh?" Qing Zhiyuan was stunned, don't you know that I have a hot fight with President Tsuda?

"You occasionally take Mikami and Wada to engage in friendship, they always spend all their time at work, how can this work?"

"Being tortured like this by them, the programmer apes and artists can't bear it." Ken Akanishi complained.

Hehe, it turns out that this guy's point is here.
