41. How is this possible?!

"What? Teacher Tsubaki Furuhara is going to retire?! ”

Hearing the news from Qing Zhiyuan's mouth, Reiko Katayama, the editor of Guoletong, was stunned.

Until now, except for the members of Pokeni, no one has really seen what Tsubaki Furuhara looks like, and as a result, this person is about to retire?

Reiko Katayama's eyes remained motionless, and it took a long time for her to react slightly.

"Yes, Mr. Tsubaki Furuhara is leaving the game industry for personal reasons." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Leaving the gaming industry?"

Reiko Katayama's eyes darkened, "Then what is he going to do?" ”

As if she felt that her performance was a little out of shape, she quickly sat up straight and explained, "I mean, a talented producer like Tsubaki Furuhara has single-handedly changed the entire galgame genre game, and every time a new work is released, it is highly anticipated by players, As a leader in the industry, it can even be said that he is the incarnation of the current galgame."

Why did such a soul character, a master producer, choose to leave the game industry? ”

Not to mention that Reiko Katayama couldn't figure it out, and the photographer carrying the machine next to her couldn't figure it out.

In the entire Pokeni company, no one can figure it out except for Qing Zhiyuan himself.

If Furuhara Tsubaki has exhausted his talents, the game has reached the end of development, and there are no works that can be used, or if he suffered Waterloo and a fiasco, so he was disheartened and wanted to give up, then it is understandable.

However, leaving for personal reasons is really too hard to accept.

Hearing Reiko Katayama's praise, Qing Zhiyuan still had a hint of darkness in his heart.

This shows that everyone still recognizes the producer of Furuhara Tsubaki.

"It's not easy to disclose specific personal reasons." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"But...... Teacher Tsubaki Furuhara retired, This incident is really surprising. Reiko Katayama was very reluctant, and her face showed a look of lamentation, "Until now, no one has seen the appearance of Mr. Tsubaki Furuhara, if you can, can you give us a photo?" ”

"Well...... this" Qing Zhiyuan hesitated for two seconds, but still flatly refused, "Furuhara Tsubaki's decision to leave Pokeni was a deliberate decision made by him, and he didn't want to be disturbed after this, and there were enough players who usually sent him blades, so he didn't really want his image to be published."

Please be considerate of that. ”

"Ah......h

Reiko Katayama quickly apologized, "I was abrupt and didn't take this into account." ”

Yes, although Furuhara Tsubaki has contributed one game after another to players, it has also caused players to curse because it is too sadistic, and there are even a lot of acts of sending blades.

In fact, the players say that Furuhara Tsubaki is in the west, but in their hearts they love him very much.

Unexpectedly, this caused him trouble.

"By the way, the players also like Mr. Furuhara, so I use some special ways, I hope that when I report, please don't attribute the reason for Mr. Furuhara's retirement to the players." Qing Zhiyuan quickly added, "Furuhara Tsubaki is very grateful and loved by the players, and at the same time, I am very happy that they can love their works.

The reason for his retirement, in addition to his own reasons, is that he feels that he is too tired to continue to surpass the games he will make in the future.

After Jun Ming, he may not be able to make better works than Jun Ming for a long time, and he chose to retire in such a state of mind.

Maybe it's the need to find new inspiration.

However, I still wish that Mr. Furuhara can find a new path in his spiritual journey and start anew.

Although it is a bit regrettable, perhaps leaving the game industry is also a consoling thing for him. ”

Reiko Katayama's eyes gradually shone brightly from gloomy to shining again.

"I see! I understand! ”

A happy smile was on her face, "Sure enough, people like Mr. Tsubaki Furuhara have a different realm!" ”

……

In the first week of November 1992, the game magazine Golleton published a report titled-

[The great producer who created a new era of galgameβ€”β€”

Furuhara Tsubaki, will announce his retirement]

In this report, it describes in detail how Tsubaki Furuhara grew from an unknown game designer to a master game maker.

"Onmyoji" was born, which directly launched the name of Guyuan Chunyu, and the poignant and touching love story made countless players cry.

Onmyoji 2 once again picks up the tradition of 1 and takes the game's story and craftsmanship to a new level.

[Later, "Mermaid Heart" and "Man of Reverse Degree" are more classics than the other, full of whimsy, with magnificent colors like heaven, exquisite paintings, and extremely high game standards, which not only created a new galgame era, but also pushed this era further.

If the previous galgame was born in chaos, then Furuhara Tsubaki is the one who struggled out of the chaos to make a spaceship and launch it into space.

After that, Galgame sailed into a new course and used the entire vast universe as a new stage.

At this time, before Pokeni's new game "Your Name" was about to be released, Mr. Tsubaki Furuhara announced that his mission had been completed and that he would no longer be engaged in game production in the future.

This is undoubtedly sad and regrettable.

It's like losing a shining new star in the galgame world.

It has been less than 3 years since Furuhara Tsubaki became famous, but the name is enough to go down in the history of galgame games.

He is the pioneer and the promoter, he is a rising star, and there is a good chance that he is the only sun that currently exists only in the galgame realm.

When he leaves, it is unknown whether a new sun will appear.

At the very least, players will feel a little lonely about it.

It is when the last trace of residual warmth is lost and the sky is darkened, you will find that the light of the world originally came from here, and you can feel a little regret in that state of mind.

However, at the same time, I also respect and bless Furuhara Tsubaki, he made his own choice to live his own life, and it is understandable that everyone has the right and freedom to choose their life.

It's just that Guoletong and the players will always remember the name of Guyuan Tsubaki.

I also hope that one day in the future, Furuhara Tsubaki will be able to return to the game industry after recharging and starting his journey, bringing players greater surprises.

It's like Hayao Miyazaki.

Not every animation supervisor is called Hayao Miyazaki.

Not every game producer is called Tsubaki Furuhara.

Remembering and blessing the ancient plain Tsubaki.

May I see you again in this life. 】

……

Guoletong's report can be said to be quite touching, the words are just right, there is no superfluous pathos rendering, and there is not too much exaggeration, but the words cut into the hearts of the players, so that countless people sighed after reading it.

"Nani?! Teacher Tsubaki Furuhara is actually going to retire?! ”

"Really? I still don't even know if this person is a man or a woman, I don't know his age or appearance, so why did he retire? ”

"Really, Guo Letong has reported it, and it is written quite sincerely, this report is an interview with the president of Pokeni, and it has been officially certified by Pokeni, so there should be no fake."

"Ah...... No way? That's a shame, isn't it? ”

"That's right, such a good producer, I didn't play galgame before, and it was because of his good reputation that I came into contact with "People of Reverse Degree". As a result, it was uncontrollable, and I later bought all the games made by Tsubaki Furuhara.

Seriously, the quality of each one is super good, and it doesn't disappoint at all. ”

"Yes, to be able to achieve such a high-quality and high-efficiency output, Furuhara Tsubaki is really remarkable, and it is really good to say that he is the creator of the new galgame.

If there is no Furuhara Tsubaki, the current galgame may still continue the previous vulgar product style, and it is impossible to gain a good reputation.

It's really a pity that Gu Yuan Tsubaki retired at this time. ”

"Anyway, have any of you ever seen what Furuhara Tsubaki looks like?"

"No...... It is said that Furuhara Tsubaki is an uncle in his 50s, so he wants to retire because of physical reasons. ”

"An uncle in his 50s? Really? Can such a middle-aged man also make a work like "The Man of Reverse Degree"? ”

"What's this, age doesn't mean outdated, as long as the aesthetics have always been at the forefront, you look at Hayao Miyazaki, although he is 50 years old, the works that can be made are still the most popular now."

"But how did I hear that Tsubaki Furuhara seems to be a young girl? And the figure is quite good.,Didn't you find one thing?,In the works of Furuhara Tsubaki as the producer,The painting style is very delicate.,And the female perspective in the game is really exciting for boys.。

It completely allows you to feel the corresponding image and character of these girls in reality.

It's hard to do this if you weren't a girl, right? ”

"Hmm...... This does not seem to be unreasonable. I can't figure it out that Furuhara Tsubaki gave up his game career because he was getting married and chose to become a housewife. ”

"Ahh How can it be repaired! Which bad man married my family Furuhara-sensei?! As a result, we won't have to play the game anymore. ”

……

On Farmitome's side, Hiroichi Hamamura threw the latest Guoletong journal onto the table.

There was a heavy crackling sound.

Everyone turned their heads one after another, only to see that the editor Changhamamura's face was unusually ugly, and he knew at a glance that he was holding back the fire in his belly.

Editors and reporters gathered at the table.

You don't need to look through it carefully, the few big words on Guoletong about the retreat of the ancient plain Chunyu are very conspicuous.

The cover of this issue of Guoletong journal is also ingenious, using the character of "The Man of Reverse Degree" as the cover, and there is also an image of a man in black (similar to the silhouette of the mysterious man in Conan), with a big name of [Furuhara Tsubaki].

"Furuhara Tsubaki wants to retreat?!" Editor Ono's eyes widened, completely unable to believe the facts of the report.

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it directly made the entire Famitong editorial office explode.

Everyone gathered around and read the words carefully.

Ono held the magazine in his hand and read the contents of the report for everyone.

After listening, the entire editorial department was silent, and everyone was thinking about a sentence in their brains-

Fake, right?

How could it be possible for Gu Yuan Tsubaki to retire?

"Now Pokeni's momentum is very good, with the popularity of PokΓ©mon, Pokeni can be said to be quite famous, and in such a situation, announcing his retirement, what does this Furuhara Tsubaki producer think?"

"That's right, it's too strange for Gu Yuan Tsubaki to retire at this time, right? In the past, Pokeni did not leave when he was on the verge of bankruptcy, but he retired without attachment after the company was on the right track, which is really incomprehensible. ”

"Moreover, isn't Furuhara Tsubaki doing very well now, the galgame industry is based on the games he makes, and he actually quit when he said he would?"

"Why didn't you hear anything about it before?"

"Are you embarrassed to ask?" Hiroichi Hamamura looked very angry, his whole cheeks flushed from congestion, "Why can Goletsu get such an exclusive report every time?" Why haven't we heard anything about such a big thing?

We also have editors, and we also have journalists.

Don't you all know how to run more?

Don't you know how to broaden more channels?

If this continues, is Famitong going to become a stepping stone for others and be surpassed by Guoletong? ”

Now that Guoletong has gradually formed competitive pressure on Famitong, and this time there is an exclusive report on Furuhara Tsubaki, it is estimated that the sales of the magazine will increase a lot.

For this reason, Hamamura Koichi was reprimanded by the president.

I used to think that Pokeni was a small game company, but since the unprecedented success of Diablo and PokΓ©mon, which exceeded the million sales mark, Pokeni is now faintly attacking Square Enix.

This time we have to pay attention.

But at this juncture, Famitong was able to miss such big news as [Guyuan Tsubaki's retirement].

You must know that Furuhara Tsubaki can be said to be a soul pillar for Pokeni.

Without Furuhara Tsubaki, there would be no pokeni today.

"I don't know how you guys do things!" Hiroichi Hamamura is unusually hot.

Everyone lowered their heads, did not dare to come out, and did not dare to look into the eyes of the editor.

There was a deathly silence in the newsroom.

After I don't know how long, Hirokazu Hamamura sighed.

"However, if we can get a picture of Furuhara Tsubaki, we might be able to produce a pretty good report."

Tsubaki Furuhara can be said to be one of the most mysterious producers in the history of games.

If you can successfully interview him and get positive photos and information of this person, you may be able to turn the tide.

When everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Okay, editor. We will definitely do our best to get a photo of Tsubaki Furuhara! ”

……

When he saw this report, Hiroshi Furukawa couldn't recover for a while.

I just feel my brain buzzing.

The instinctive reaction is –

I won't be able to play the game made by Tsubaki Furuhara in the future?

Where will I go to play such a high-quality game in the future?

What other game could be as much as Takaki Furuhara?

Furukawa Hirozawa's face was like ashes, and he only felt that the world had suddenly become bleak.

Fake, right?

It must be fake.

It took two seconds before he turned around as if he had just woken up from a dream.

Damn it!

"In this way, as a fan of Furuhara Tsubaki, it would be too much to say if you didn't buy "Your Name"."
