At noon the next day, while chatting on the company's rooftop, Furukawa Hirosawa seemed a little hesitant, but there was a discussion next door.

"Ah...... Qing Zhiyuan likes to engage in some bells and whistles, full of gimmicks, but in fact, it is difficult to say whether it is really effective.

Especially now that [Furuhara Tsubaki] is gone, Pokeni's new game will definitely have to be discounted in terms of influence and appeal. ”

He glanced up and saw that the person who spoke was a guy he had never seen before.

I guess I'm new to the company.

It's just that I didn't expect this person's thoughts to be quite similar to my own.

It is estimated that they are all fans of Furuhara Tsubaki.

Since the retirement of Furuhara Tsubaki, the game produced by Pokeni seems to have lost its luster.

Although Hiroshi Furukawa also watched the commercial for "The Witcher", he couldn't get uplifted.

"That's what The Witcher is called, right? Pokeni's new work, do you want to get it? Hayamigawa's voice pulled Hirosawa Furukawa back from his contemplation.

Furukawa hesitated and didn't speak.

Do you want to get it?

Seriously, without Gu Yuan Tsubaki, the impact is greater than he imagined.

Because it's hard to imagine how far Pokeni's new game can go after leaving the old thief, and whether it can still maintain a high level as always?

The quality of the work is too high, whether it is in the script, the lens language and the progress of the entire story line, can it still reach the height of the previous game?

These are all subject to a question mark.

Furukawa didn't have the courage to explore.

But you don't want to start it......

It always feels like one person has denied the whole company.

……

Kinoshita lit a cigarette and pursed his lips, "Didn't you listen to the discussion over there?" Furuhara Tsubaki is gone.,Pokeni still has any new work to speak of.,I watched the advertisement.,To be honest, it's pretty good.,It's a pity.,If it's not the producer of Furuhara Tsubaki, I won't play.。

What the hell is Shinji Mikami? ”

"yes, what the hell is Shinji Mikami?" Hayamigawa asked suspiciously.

"Mikami seems to be Diablo's level battle plan." With his love for the P Society, Hirozer Furukawa is familiar with some unnoticed trivia.

Usually few people will notice the list of credits that appears when the game is cleared, but Furukawa Hirosawa is able to memorize it like a stream.

Especially when he hated it so much before and wanted a knife man, Furukawa directly wrote down everyone's name and the module in charge.

For example, the sin deserves death of Furuhara Tsubaki is the producer, this sadistic script is written by Xuan Xuyuan, and the original painting is Makoto Shinjin......

In short, this group of people in Pokeni is actually very distinctive, and it is easy to be remembered, it just depends on whether you have intentions or not.

"It's no wonder that The Witcher is so similar to Diablo that it's an action game from the commercials. It took a long time to do it because the producer was born in the dark. ”

Kinoshita chuckled and said, "Then I don't want to play this game anymore." ”

"Furuhara Tsubaki is gone, do you want to give up Pokeni?" Yamada, a new partner, asked.

"You're not using this right, are you? It's because Furuhara Tsubaki is gone.,That's why I have to give up pokeni.。 Kinoshita gave Furukawa a look, "Furukawa, you think the same way, right?" ”

"Hmm...... Maybe...... Right? ”

Furukawa Hiroze himself can't say it well.

In fact, he thinks Diablo has done a good job, although it is not the style of the ancient thief in terms of script story, but it is better than the gameplay, and it is the first flat ARPG game from a bird's-eye view.

The combat feeling alone is good enough, and the others don't seem to be needed much.

"Void Abyss Xuan is okay, right?" Yamada-kun persuaded, ""The Man of Reverse Degree" is written by Lao Xu, although it is the producer of Furuhara Tsubaki, but the script of Xuyuan Xuan is really powerful.

Originally, the ancient hara Tsubaki had retired.,If you don't cherish the void abyss.,Do you want to let Pokeni not make games in the future? ”

"Hmmm......"

There was a moment of silence.

Yamada-kun makes a lot of sense.

After Furuhara Tsubaki is gone, there is only Void Abyss Xuan on Pokeni's side, right?

The script of "The Witcher" is written by Lao Xu, and the plot is guaranteed.

Although there is no Ancient Plains Tsubaki, at least there is still a void abyss!

Uh-huh.

Everyone nodded their heads, as if there was a slight sign of wavering.

Void Abyss Xuan is probably the greatest wealth left by the ancient thief to Pokeni, right?

At this moment, Kinoshita slowly shook his head.

"Are you getting the point wrong? Void Abyss is good, but it can only mean that the script is guaranteed, but the soul of a game is the producer.

Whether the game is done well or not depends mainly on the level of the producer.

No matter how powerful the script is, it can be ruined if it encounters a crappy producer. ”

"This is equivalent to the production of a movie, the director is 90% responsible, if you meet a bad director, no matter how good the script is, it is possible to make a bad movie."

"Hmm...... It seems like so. ”

Everyone was not firm again.

……

After the news of the upcoming release of The Witcher came out, many players expressed similar concerns.

The main reason is that I am afraid that Shinji Mikami will not be able to hold it, and there is a possibility that he will smash the signboard of P Society.

There have also been cases in the industry where the company began to decline after the producer left the company.

Since Tsubaki Furuhara is the creator of the Pokeni game, his disappearance will naturally affect the future of Pokeni.

"Shinji Mikami, I haven't heard of this producer, can he really do it?"

"I don't know, but I think Pokeni is a small company after all, and it has been able to get to this point completely thanks to a god-level producer like Tsubaki Furuhara.

At this time, Furuhara Tsubaki is gone, and it is really possible to be beaten back to the prototype. ”

"Isn't Qing Zhiyuan okay? Diablo and Pokémon are doing pretty well. ”

"But he's not Gu Yuan Chun Yu, Gu Yuan Chun Chu is the only one. And at that time, when Furuhara Tsubaki was there, everyone's hearts were like taking a reassuring pill, so everyone would want to try more of other types of games from P Society.

It's different now, and without Furuhara Tsubaki's pokeni, it's hard to get players to have confidence in it. ”

"Hmm...... What to do, I originally wanted to play "The Witcher", but when you said this, I hesitated. ”

……

In fact, it's not just that players are not very optimistic about the new work "The Witcher" of P Society

Similar concerns have been expressed by peers.

The members of the Elf Society, who have always used Pokeni as the benchmark and Furuhara Tsubaki as their mentor, shook their heads at this time.

"This time, "The Witcher" is more auspicious."

"yes, I'm sweating for this new producer called [Shinji Mikami], blame the poor guy. The main reason is that he is unlucky, but he has become the successor of the P Society after the retirement of Furuhara Tsubaki.

But the influence and height of the ancient old thief are there, even Qing Zhiyuan will be compared.

A newcomer like Shinji Mikami came up directly, and it was hard to say what he would be scolded by the players. ”

"This game doesn't seem to take the galgame route, right?,Will there be such a problem?" An artist from the Elven Society asked.

In his opinion, the style of painting is different.

Furuhara Tsubaki is good at making galgame, known for his aesthetic and healing painting style, through pictures and text, plus good plot control to guide the player's emotional experience to a peak.

It's obvious that "The Witcher" doesn't go this route, it's obviously an action RPG game, as long as the combat is good enough, isn't it?

"It's not like that. Or rather, it should have been viewed separately as such. But players don't think so.

Furuhara Tsubaki is too dazzling, when Pokeni takes out this sun, no matter what game comes out in the future, it will actually be subconsciously compared by players with Furuhara Tsubaki.

Even for different types of games.

Players will be demanding a lot of new games.

As long as there is a slight flaw, it will be infinitely magnified. ”

"Tsk, that's right, so this Shinji Mikami is really miserable, as long as the game fails to meet the standards that players think, it will be criticized for being incomplete.

I feel completely unbearable just thinking about it......"

"Ah~ That's right, it's really miserable to be substituted for Mikami."

However, it is also possible that Mikami will become a god, and as long as the game is of sufficient quality to convince players, then Shinji Mikami will be praised to the sky.

This is also a huge opportunity. ”

"Haha, but it's too unlikely, isn't it?"

"If you can become a god, it's really a miracle."

……

Tokyo.

Pokeni Co., Ltd.

The pressure on Shinji Mikami here is very, very high.

I haven't had a good night's sleep for several days.

The closer the game's release date gets, the more uneasy Mikami becomes.

When Qing Zhiyuan went to the company in the morning, he found that this guy had two big dark circles under his eyes, and he looked like he had insomnia.

Qing Zhiyuan called him to the office with some distress, and then closed the door.

"Mikami-san, you have heavy dark circles under your eyes."

"It's too much pressure." Shinji Mikami confessed.

He sat on the sofa, rubbing his eyebrows with his hands, obviously his body and brain were tired, but once he lay down on the bed, he couldn't sleep.

Qing Zhiyuan sighed and said, "This is all normal, and it was the same when I first became a producer. ”

"Huh? Is the president too? Mikami was surprised.

"When did you first become a producer before or after you became a Furuhara Tsubaki?"

"Hmm......"

Qing Zhiyuan thought for a moment, "It should have been before, right?" ”

In terms of timeline, the time he served as a game producer was in his previous life, 2020.

But in this timeline, after Qing Zhiyuan crossed over, the first game was indeed made as Gu Yuan Tsubaki.

"I used the identity of Furuhara Tsubaki to make games, but I was actually just as nervous." Qing Zhiyuan sat down and handed a glass of boiled water to Shinji Mikami.

There is only water, coffee and tea in the company, and it is not suitable to drink anything else at this time.

"At that time, the company was going bankrupt, and if the game didn't succeed, then Pokeni wouldn't have existed."

"Ah~ such a tragic ......" Shinji Mikami exclaimed as he held the hot water.

"yes, so Mikami, you don't have to worry about anything." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile, "I can make you the producer of "The Witcher" because I have confidence in your ability.

You've done pretty well.

And even if the game is a complete failure, what if there are no sales?

The money that Pokeni has now accumulated can afford such a failure.

And the next game will be even better.

Anything that doesn't kill you will make you strong. ”

Well.

Shinji Mikami nodded, pondering Seoh Chi Yuan's words.

[Anything that can't kill you will make you strong]

"What's more, I don't think there is a possibility of failure for such a good game."

Qing Zhiyuan said this, and raised a finger.

Shinji Mikami looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what he meant.

"A million."

Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile, "There are at least a million results, neon and Europe and the United States combined, and they will not lose." ”

"It's not a question of winning or losing, but, believe me, you won't lose."

The gameplay and art style of "The Witcher" are really unique in this era.

In this game, Qing Zhiyuan has already seen the shadow of the future "Devil May Cry".

Japanese fantasy style, a fusion of neon and European and American aesthetics, a combination of Eastern and Western cultures, and more importantly, a fairly good integration, which has both the style of Shinji Mikami, as well as the shadow of the void.

It is completely in line with Qing Zhiyuan's imagination.

If it weren't for the limitations of the hardware, Qingzhiyuan has reason to believe that this game can become an epoch-making product.

No.

Even in this era, the graphics are not so elaborate and the action is not 3D, but this game is still an epoch-making product.

"Thank you, President." Shinji Mikami nodded, trying to squeeze out a smile, "I'm much more comfortable now." ”

Mikami was comforted a little, and after the whole person relaxed, sleepiness swept over like a tide.

The two eyelids began to fight.

Qing Zhiyuan saw it in his eyes and said with a smile, "Mikami-san, you can sleep with me for a while, and no one will come to disturb you." ”

"Is that okay, President?" Mikami was surprised.

"Anyway, the game is already done, it's useless for you to be anxious now, wait for the results to come out, everything will be fine."

Give it a try.

"Then I'll sleep for a while, it's rude, to let you see me so unsightly."

……

A week later, The Witcher was officially released.

However, the actual sales results were far from meeting Qingzhiyuan's expectations.

Even though the quality of the game is very high, in a week, it only sold less than 10,000 copies.

It may be good for some small companies, but this is pokeni.

When you're used to every game being at least a few hundred thousand, it's hard to go back to the days when total sales weren't in the tens of thousands.

White teeth.

Qing Zhiyuan finally realized that the problem was more serious than he had imagined.

Back then, [Furuhara Tsubaki] retired, which can be said to have made Pokeni completely eat a wave of dividends, resulting in the terrible result of "Your Name" selling an unprecedented more than 3 million copies.

How can a galgame do it to this extent?

Moreover, Qing Zhiyuan can throw away the vest of [Guyuan Tsubaki], and the mood is called a pleasure.

I thought that in the future, I could use Qing Zhiyuan's real name to make the entire game world tremble, but now he also felt the [sequelae of retirement]

If you come out to mix, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.

How strong the positive effect was when he retired at the beginning, then how ruthless the negative effect after the disappearance of the ancient hara.
