21. Is Furuhara Tsubaki a god?
Shortly after the release of the game "People of Reverse Degree", because of the previous report of Guoletong's game "Girls are also very suitable", many girls began to try this game work.
After the experience, the girls gave a very high evaluation.
"I didn't have any hope for this type of game, but now I'm in the pit. I didn't expect the galgame game to be so delicate.,The time reversal shown in the heroine's perspective.,Everything around you.,Love with the male protagonist...... It's really impressive.
In the final ending, the two people couldn't be together because of time, which is really heart-wrenching.
However, at the same time, I am very fortunate to have such a conscientious producer in such a country in such a time and age to make games from a girl's point of view.
I've heard of Pokeni as a sadist and tear-jerker, but I didn't really appreciate it until I played The Man Against the Odds.
The work that really brings players to tears is the one that takes the developer's hard work.
At least you can move yourself to move the player.
Pokeni is really good. ”
"As a girl, I've always been very resistant to this type of game of galgame, because basically before the game of the P club came out, the vast majority of galgames on the market, and it can even be said that 100% of them were male-oriented, games made mainly by boys.
In it, the dignity of girls is wantonly trampled on, and the girls stick to the boys......
Such episodes abound.
But Pokeni is different, in the game "People of Reverse Degree", what I can feel is the respect that the development team has for girls.
I've experienced both perspectives of the male and female protagonists.,I didn't find any unfairness.,Whether it's the male protagonist's perspective or the female protagonist's line.,It can be said that it's quite well-made.。
Let us really feel the whole life of a person, and be able to sigh and cry for it.
And that's pretty remarkable. ”
"I was skeptical at first that girls can play galgame, after all, there are no games in the world that can actually do this.
But "The Man of Contrarianism" really subverted my three views, in a positive sense.
I can experience the beauty of love from the game, and at the same time, I can sigh and cry in the loss and regain, and I will also be sad and heartbroken by the gain and loss.
A flesh-and-blood work, this is my evaluation of "The Man of Reverse Degree".
Thank you Pokeni for making such a beautiful and touching work, thank you Furuhara Tsubaki, and thank you to Gen Xubuchi. ”
"The Man of Reverse Degree" can be regarded as my galgame work, I was really moved by the work, and reading those beautiful words is really a new experience.
Joy is gained, and sorrow is gained.
A life of reversal is also a life.
Fortunately, in such a lonely time countercurrent, the hero and heroine met each other.
I can feel the genuine emotions and the good intentions of the development team.
Whether it is from the brain hole or the plot, it is very satisfying.
Still, I'm going to say that-
Go to hell!
Furuhara Tsubaki! ”
"The Man of Reverse Degree" is the only galgame that can be praised by most girls.
And took this opportunity to expand the female market, and after the word-of-mouth exploded, the game "Reverse Man" has a large number of female fans.
Of course, the price is -
Now it's not just male players who want to scold Gu Yuan Chunyu, but girls also want to scold Gu Yuan Chun Yu.
There are a few more people sending the blades.
It's no one who can make two groups of players resentful at the same time.
However, Qing Zhiyuan said that he was unusually calm.
What did Gu Yuan Tsubaki do, what does it matter to me Qing Zhiyuan?
Xuyuan Xuan is also very calm, anyway, there is Gu Yuan Chunyu carrying it in front, not to mention-
What did Xuyuan Xuan do, what did it matter to me and Tian?
……
As soon as "The Man of Reverse Degree" was released, it achieved extremely popular results.
In the first week, sales exceeded 100,000 copies, and if the momentum continues, it is likely to reach 500,000 copies within this year.
Pokeni Co., Ltd.'s Galgame can be said to have ushered in a new era, and the company continues to break new ground.
In the previous life, the 90s were supposed to be the blowout period of galgame.
Pokeni is in line with the general trend of the times.
Prior to this, most galgames were simple and rude, and there was no need to think about the game genre, and they were even criticized by the news for being too simple and rude, resulting in continuous losses in the industry.
The emergence of Pokeni has made people re-examine the category of galgame, and feel that if the game can bring players a feeling of love and express pure and beautiful love, then it is also quite good.
Any game, as long as it has the correct three views and can guide players to feel happy, then such a game is valuable.
Up to now, not only have the people of the world understood this truth, but Qing Zhiyuan has also gladly accepted this.
Galgame isn't heinous, it's all about how you build and apply it.
"Ah...... Furuhara Tsubaki, is he a god? Hair knives are so artistic? In the Elf Club, the president of the club, Masato Hida, couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration after experiencing the game "People of Reverse Degree".
From the 90s to around 2000, it was a period of rapid development of galgame, even a golden age, and many games that were talked about by players were born during this time period.
The beginning of the previous life was the "Fellow Students" of the Elf Society, and the beginning of this life was the "Onmyoji" of the P Society
"The Man of Reverse Degree" is already a masterpiece in the field of galgame.
It's enough to define the new galgame game genre.
There are two kinds of people in the world, one is a man and the other is a woman.
The market for men is huge, but the market for women is even bigger, and it's surprising enough to attract girls to play games, and it's even more amazing that it can be universally praised by female gamers.
I wonder if P society will become a mecca for girls' game making.
Thinking of this, the people of Leech Tian Changren admired it even more.
What he admires even more is Pokeni's transcendence of the times, his vision and creativity.
"It turns out that the ancient plain Tsubaki has reached the realm of no knife is better than a knife."
According to the previous dismantling of the game of the P Club by the Elf Society, I think there are several key elements in it-
Love, death, creativity.
This is very similar to the concept of the future sci-fi production drama "Love", "Death", and "Robot".
Love is something that represents human emotion, something beautiful.
Death is destruction, destruction is a symbol of violence.
Robots represent fantasy, the future, and human creativity.
In this era, it is not easy for Masato Hida to understand these things from the works of P Society.
But now, he realized that he hadn't realized enough.
In "The Man of Reverse Degree", the hero and heroine are living well and have a good life for each other, if it weren't for the reverse flow of time, they would never be able to be together.
It's like two parallel lines, never intersecting.
However, after removing the concept of "death", the work becomes more vivid and moving.
As soon as he thought of this, Masato Shiuda felt that he was still a student, and there were really too many places to learn from Mr. Tsubaki Furuhara.
And this script writer called Xuyuan Xuan, after entering the P club, can grow to such a point, which is really scary.
"When are we going to make this kind of high-level galgame?"
……
On Ren Heaven's side, as the future successor, the mainstay Shigeru Miyamoto was shocked after seeing the relevant reports of "The Man of Reverse Degree" and secretly experiencing it himself.
Before that, under the influence of the president Yamauchi Pu, he embraced the idea of making games that bring joy to children.
Games for all ages.
I never thought that "The Man of Reverse Degree" would be so moving in a game that looks more aged, but can explain the depth of feelings so well.
"Isn't the design concept going to be updated?"
What can make players feel good is not necessarily a sense of pleasure, but also sadness?
……
Although Pokeni is still a younger brother in the entire game field, and he can't even rank the number, he is a god-like existence in the galgame field.
It has now been taken to new heights.
Furuhara Tsubaki also ascended the altar of galgame.
Countless galgame game manufacturers regard the game works of P Society as classics, and they are classics that must be studied in game development.
……
At the same time, Famitong was condemned by players for only giving "The Man of Contrarianism" an ultra-low score of 22 points.
"Is there a hole in Famitong's brain, such a good game, such a touching game, all of you editors are people who have no ability to empathize, right, you can only give a garbage score of 22 points, which is not fair at all!"
"Although it was my first time playing galgame, I have to say that "The Man of Reverse Degree" exceeded my expectations too much. Can a work that touches people's hearts and move people like this, shouldn't it become a classic and be selected for the Platinum Palace?
Even if it's not, with an ultra-low score of only 22 points, you can't say anything, right? ”
"What do the people of Farmiton think, they can only give a score of 22 points?"
"I'm not convinced, I need to see the change of Famitong, and I can't be wronged by such a good work as "The Man of Contrarianity" because of some old score evaluation mechanism."
"You actually told me that a game that can break through 100,000 sales in a week is only worth 22 points?"
……
The pressure on Farmiton's side is also super high.
The editors felt unusually aggrieved.
In terms of storytelling and touching, "The Man of Reverse Degree" is undoubtedly a very great work, and it is a grievance to be selected into the Platinum Palace, after all, it can be widely recognized by players and earn so many tears.
In the game, the narrative technique and story setting adopted by the reverse degree of people are unprecedented, and the graphics are impeccable.
But in the rating, the most important one -
Gameplay.
In this regard, "The Man of Reverse Degree" is unqualified.
At least the editors can't give high scores on gameplay with a clear conscience, and a game that can only be expressed through graphics and texts and allows players to choose through dialogue will not be recognized in terms of gameplay in any case.
There will inevitably be a discount on creativity.
After all, before that, Pokeni's "Mermaid Heart" had already pioneered this category of electronic vision.
Then when it comes to "The Man of Reverse Degree", some points will inevitably be deducted.
No matter how you calculate, you can only give 22 points.
But this is already a perfect score in terms of plot, picture, and quality.
The editors said they couldn't do anything and were even somewhat innocent.
"Editor, can you find a way to talk to the president of Pokeni, let them do galgame in the future, can you improve the gameplay, or-
Let's just use such a good script to make some other types of games.
Even if it's a turn-based game, wouldn't it be nice to have an onmyoji like the previous ones?
Otherwise, if it's always electronic, we can't stand the rating.
It always gives people a way of-
The editors of Famitong have no standard, they don't understand the essence of the game at all, and they have the illusion of giving low scores even though the sales are so high.
In the long run, the reputation of Famitong is not good? ”
Sales are high, but ratings are low, which is also a strange thing in the gaming world, and even a few editors who scored Famitong are a little unbearable.
"Yes, the purpose of Famitsu was originally to speak for the players and measure the quality of the game from the player's point of view, but now because Pokeni's game is too weird.
The strengths can be described as reaching the peak, and it is not an exaggeration to put them in the altar.
The shortcomings are really amazing, and it even makes people wonder if this can be called a game.
Something like this, seriously, let's judge it's going to be dead. ”
"Yes, yes, P Society's approach is tantamount to roasting us on a fire, isn't it unfair for us to score? But then again, can a fair rating really win people's hearts? ”
Never before had the editors of Farmiton encountered such a problem, and had not even thought about it.
A game that can be highly praised by players and achieve great commercial success at the same time, but such a game has fatal flaws, does it really exist?
Pokeni was able to develop such a game, and at the same time gave the editors of Famitsu a big problem.
Editor Hiroichi Nagahama frowned twice.
Practices like pookeni are simply unheard of.
The feedback from the editors is also very real.,It's a solid sore spot by the P Society.,Who would have thought that in the development of the times, the P Society appeared as a rebel.,Made a work with such weird and clear advantages and disadvantages.。
It's the equivalent of a 3-pointer in the NBA, who can score more than 50 points in a game, but is a 0-point monster on the defensive end.
Is there any value in such a monster?
So far, Koichi Hamamura can't judge, but judging from the reaction of players and the market-
There is always a dead one between Famitong's scoring criteria and P Society.
In other words, there is always a change and a compromise.
"Hmm...... I see, I'll consider reacting to the president. Hiroichi Hamamura said seriously.
……
So Qing Zhiyuan was soon invited to a meal by the president of Famitong.
During the banquet, the other party persuaded hard, hoping that Qing Zhiyuan could consider making more games with gameplay, it is rare to have such a powerful script, it would be a pity if it was just used for watching.
"We'll consider it." ”
After returning to Pokeni, Sei Chi Won called Xuyuan Xuan to the president's office.
Bitterly persuaded, "Wada-san, in the future, if you make games, can you consider more gameplay in terms of scripts?" If you think about it, if the game is only for reading and appreciation, you always feel that something is missing in the sense of substitution.
Why don't we make a game that is excellent both in terms of scripting and gameplay?
If this continues, if it is always a visual expression, players will get bored one day, right? ”
"Or do you not have what it takes to write beautiful scripts in a game-heavy environment?"
Void Abyss Xuan was a little blushing with stimulation.
What Qing Zhiyuan said is not unreasonable.
To put it bluntly, visuals, in fact, are equivalent to sacrificing other things to embody the script.
"A game that is entirely scripted for the sake of a game and a script that serves the game are two different things." Qing Zhiyuan said a little sternly.
Void Abyss Xuan clenched his fists, clenching and tightening.
"Hmm. I think the president has a point, and I'll pay attention to it later. ”
"Okay." Qing Zhiyuan nodded, hoping that this guy would not be stimulated to lose his fighting spirit.
But in the next second, Xuyuan Xuan smiled with a hippie smile.
"President, you don't have to worry about this at all, Mikami-san and I are now working on the proposal for the next game."
Nima's.
"Please don't take bad Mikami-san, okay?"
"Diablo 2 still needs him." Qing Zhiyuan said.
Xuyuan Xuan took a half step back and looked at Qing Zhiyuan in disbelief, carefully suffering ten thousand points of damage.
"President, you're saying that's too much, isn't it?"
"Uh, is it the project that needs to be good?" Qing Zhiyuan explained, "Different projects have different needs for planning, where does Mikami-san have time to make new games? ”
"Anyway, Mikami and I had a drink before, and we had a particularly interesting conversation, and then I wondered if this could be used as a game." Xuyuan Xuan smiled and said, "So the prototype of this game was born, and I will know it for you in a few days."
It's definitely a good game. ”
Qing Zhiyuan's brows furrowed twice.
This guy, sometimes because I spoil him too much, leading to wanton behavior?
I finally cultivated Mikami, and I was still counting on him to succeed me as the producer of Diablo 2, and he could become the supervisor of a certain department in the future, and he was bewitched by the Void Abyss at this time?
Seriously, though, Qing Jiyuan is quite looking forward to what the new work he and Shinji Mikami will be like together.
But even if that's the case, where do we get the manpower?
"Okay, but first, if your proposal doesn't get my approval, you can listen to me." Qing Zhiyuan said.
"yes, definitely." Xuan Yuan smiled happily and nodded.
Looks like he's confident.
After Xuan Xuyuan left the president's office.
"Huh~ Wada-san really admires you, president." Akane Ayase sighed beside her.
"Please don't say such strange things, okay?!" Qing Zhiyuan frowned fiercely.
"It's the kind of admiration of the master and apprentice, the master and the apprentice!"
"Then make it clear, Baga!"
