The next morning, when Qing Zhiyuan walked into his office, he saw a business plan on the table.

He was a little strange, so he leaned against the door and asked the little secretary.

No, small HR.

Akane Ayase glanced up, "Oh, that's it, it was sent by Mikami in the morning." ”

"What about the three masters?"

"Let's go to a meeting."

"Okay, then after he has a meeting, you call him to come to my office." Qing Zhiyuan instructed.

"Okay president."

The little HR recorded it with a pen.

Now Qing Zhiyuan's daily schedule, Akane Ayase is doing a detailed sorting.

After the explanation, Qing Zhiyuan returned to the office, sat on a chair and looked at Shinji Mikami's plan.

Contrary to what he imagined, this project is not about the shooting game [Border], but a completely new game.

Good guy, is this person Mikami really not afraid of being tired to death?

With "Border" in hand, "The Witcher 2" and "Diablo 3" are both thinking about doing new things before they are launched, can Mikami be busy?

Or are you not going to make a sequel to those games at all?

I don't think I can make enough money, right?

There is basically an unwritten rule in the game industry, or conventional-

When a game is a big hit and reaches a sales line, a sequel will be released.

And every producer has a great desire to keep their game sequel to death.

Like the Final Fantasy series in the previous life, it has been done at 15 and 16, and as long as Square Enix does not go out of business, Qing Zhiyuan has reason to believe that they can do it the day when the earth is destroyed.

Being able to develop a sequel to the game is actually an affirmation of the producer's ability, and it is also something that every producer has in mind.

Except, of course, for G fat who can't count 3.

Shinji Mikami, this guy is good, he doesn't want to do so many big IP sequels, and now get me something new.

Qing Zhiyuan opened the plan and began to read.

There are a lot of picture captions in this project, and you can almost tell that they were drawn by Mikami himself.

The name of the project is called [閻魔天]

In fact, it corresponds to the Chinese Hades, and in neon mythology, the Demon Heaven is the ruler of the underworld and the judge of the dead.

The image of Hades varies, sometimes depicting an old man with a serious face, sometimes a young man dressed in gorgeous clothes.

So it's a quaint mythical game.

And it's a side-scrolling game.

The background of the game is roughly as follows:

[Demon Heaven] was reincarnated and became a mortal.

But because of the departure of the Demon Heaven, the entire underworld was in chaos, many monsters were released, and the human world and the underworld were reversed, in this case, the underworld needs to find the reincarnation of the Demon Heaven, and then return to the underworld to restore order.

And in this context, some conspiracies gradually surfaced.

It turns out that behind the [reincarnation] of the Demon Heaven, there is a huge conspiracy, some great gods in the underworld do not want him to come back, and a hundred ghosts walk at night, and monsters make trouble, all of this is carefully designed.

There are also a lot of pictures in the middle, which has an antique feeling of ukiyo-e.

After reading the introduction of this part, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh his lips.

It's a good idea.

But shouldn't this job be done by Gen Xubuchi, or Jun Aeda and Mika Ishino?

Shinji Mikami, this can't suppress the power of the desolation in his head, right?

He deserves to be the gold medal producer I fancie.

Qing Zhiyuan continued to look and found that the story was actually all there was to this point, and nothing was written in the back, basically explaining the gameplay and character design, etc.

Although the gameplay is a 2D side-scrolling game, it is quite creative.

In the game, there will be two different souls on the enemy, one is [White Soul] and the other is [Black Soul]

Players can choose a certain soul to accumulate when killing enemies, different souls open different skills and combos, souls can also help craft weapons and equipment, open the next level, and so on.

In other words, the collection of souls not only affects the game's battles, but also the game's plot.

Of course, you can also choose to collect both souls and eventually take the [Soulless] route.

In different routes, the enemies encountered and the stories that occur are different.

It's interesting.

And it's quite closely integrated with the worldview of the whole game.

Coupled with this ukiyo-e Japanese classical style, it really makes sense.

Qing Zhiyuan flipped through it and found that there was a bathing game in the back.

It should be said that Mikami has implanted a lot of mini-games in this project, and even the gameplay description of the mini-games is more detailed than the main gameplay.

For example, this [bath game]

It says [Giving out benefits to players], as long as you can mix hot water, then you can see the wonderful still of the female character.

In the game, there are many intricately designed different [made of bamboo] pipes, which have many valves, and two water intakes, one of which is hot water and the other is cold water.

All the player has to do is control the valve to neutralize the two into a warm bath water, which eventually flows through the main outlet into the bath.

What the hell is this?

Qing Zhiyuan said that it was very incomprehensible.

"Has this guy Mikami been stimulated by anything lately?"

Being ridiculed for not having a girlfriend?

That's why you put your fantasies about women into the game?

Mikami, when did you become an LSP, how come I don't know?

Moreover, don't Lao Xuan and Mazi also have no girlfriends?

No, it should be said that most of the employees of the company have no object.

It's also strange to say, except for old guys like Taiji Sakata and Ken Akanishi, so many young men and women in the company are actually single.

Could it be that this company is cursed?

Or do I have a single halo as the president?

No, no, it's impossible, I've found a girlfriend myself, so it shouldn't have anything to do with me.

Qing Zhiyuan shook his head, dispelling the uneasiness in his heart.

……

The project has a total of more than 30 pages, with very interesting graphic descriptions, Qing Zhiyuan quickly finished reading.

Closing the plan, Qing Zhiyuan's mind is full of [hot and cold water] [black and white soul]

The business plan is good, it's quite thoughtful, and the drawings are good, is this going in the direction of Ma Zhi Jun?

But......

Qing Zhiyuan frowned slightly.

This style is too different from Mikami.

How so?

More wild, rugged, bold, presumably this feeling.

……

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

Qing Zhiyuan glanced up, it was Shinji Mikami.

"Please come in."

"President, are you looking for me?" After Mikami came in, he gently closed the door.

"Well, I've seen your plan." Qing Zhiyuan said, "It's quite creative, but the details may not be considered, you need to polish more, and where do you have the time to make so many games?"

My suggestion is to get "Border" done first, and then come up with a project for "The Witcher 2" as soon as possible. ”

"Huh?"

Shinji Mikami was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "President, you misunderstood, in fact, this project is not mine." ”

"Huh? Not yours? Qing Zhiyuan was slightly surprised.

But he suddenly understood—

No wonder I said that this style is so different from Shinji Mikami's.

Mikami is actually a very rigorous and meticulous person, and he should not make such unrestrained and bold works.

"So who wrote this? Could it be Wada? ”

Xuyuan Xuan has this possibility, but it is impossible for Lao Xuan to paint so many paintings, it would be good to be able to give you a light and let you feel it.

Jun Asaeda's style is even less like that.

"Actually," Shinji Mikami said with a smile, "this project was submitted by someone from outside the company who wanted to get a job at Pokeni." I share the same opinion as you, the president, it's a fun idea, and it's a good drawing, and I don't think I've seen much of this style of game before.

Well, a lot of the details aren't in place.

For example, the role of Black and White Souls, as the core gameplay, does not seem to be far behind other side-scrolling action games.

I was hoping to see more reasonable and amazing settings in the project, but it's not enough.

But overall, as an outsider, this newcomer is actually very talented. ”

"I see."

Qing Zhiyuan nodded silently.

Since Shinji Mikami knew it, he was relieved.

But listening to Mikami's words, he should have taken this newcomer very seriously, otherwise he wouldn't have put the project on his desk but directly called it back.

But at the same time, Mikami may also be a little worried, afraid that he won't be able to handle it, because this person's strengths and weaknesses are obvious.

The advantage is that it is bold and creative, but the disadvantage is that it can't be contained, it is too unrestrained, and it wants to play a play, and it lacks systematic game planning thinking.

At the same time, it can also reflect that this person's personality belongs to the kind of more arrogant and whimsical type.

There is no shortage of whimsical talents in the company, but the whimsical personalities are also different.

Like Makoto Shinkai, he is more introverted.

Jun Ma Zhi is a perfectionist.

The old man is so black that he is dying.

Hidetaka Miyazaki is shy (it's strange that one person can bring together two words that are almost completely incompatible).

Mikami is steady and down-to-earth.

The only thing that can be entrusted to this is probably only Shinji Mikami.

"What's this man's name?" Since Shinji Mikami likes this contributor very much, Qing Zhiyuan also asked in passing.

Shinji Mikami paused for a second and replied:

"Hideki Kamiya."

Boy......

You're almost ready for the Platinum Studios.

……

Hideki Kamiya is definitely one of the neon ghost producers.

Just look at the games he led the development:

"Devil May Cry", "Red Hero Joey", "Great God", "Bayonetta", ......

The birth of Devil May Cry was an accident, because he did a good job under Shinji Mikami, so when developing the sequel to Resident Evil, Shinji Mikami, the predecessor, let Hideki Kamiya lead a new console himself, that is, the sequel to Resident Evil on PS3.

However, Hideki Kamiya is indeed a bit imaginative, and as soon as he wants to play it, he wants to add more action elements, and the combat should be cooler and more refreshing......

As a result, most of it was done.,Shinji Mikami took a look.,Got,Where are you still Resident Evil.,You can take this thing out and make a new game again.。

So the famous "Devil May Cry" series was born, which can be called the pinnacle of 3D action games that year, from expression to gameplay to plot, it can be said to be a masterpiece.

Then this producer has several hobbies in his life, the first of which is cool movements.

This is evident in his game.

The other one is that I like to make some colors.

So there is the Bayonetta in the back.

Another is that I like to add all kinds of mini-games to the game.,For example, the handjob in Bayonetta.,Decryption mini-games or something......

Yes......

That's right, that's right.

Qing Zhiyuan finally felt the familiar feeling in that business plan.

Hideki Kamiya was able to write the plan of [Demon Heaven], as well as the bath game, and Qing Zhiyuan felt that the taste was right.

The style is actually quite similar to the "Great God" made by Hideki Kamiya in his previous life.

The game of the great god is also the reincarnation of the gods, all kinds of monsters, antique.

This game is a typical acclaim, and there are very few players who have played it, and the sales results in Neon were only 140,000 copies that year, but those who have played it feel that this is a well-deserved masterpiece.

……

Hideki Kamiya.

God.

Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help laughing.

Shinji Mikami in his previous life can be regarded as Hideki Kamiya's master.

Both worked in Capcom and worked together on a Resident Evil sequel, and later made Devil May Cry.

Later, due to unsatisfactory sales results, Mikami and Kamiya were exiled by Capcom.

Then, together they set up a new studio and continued to run wild on the game's path.

The production concept has never changed, and the platinum studio that was later established again is to produce [high-quality games], and each game must be selected for the platinum palace as the goal.

I didn't expect this life to be so fateful.

It would be great if Hideki Kamiya could come to Pokeni.

At that time, Qing Zhiyuan can continue to let Shinji Mikami take this newcomer.

Excellent producer, Qing Zhiyuan has never been too much.

Qing Zhiyuan coughed twice, suppressed the joy in his heart, and said indifferently with a calm expression:

"This guy seems to have a lot of potential."

"Why don't you send him an offer?" Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Hmm." Shinji Mikami nodded, "So what position did you invite him to take?" ”

"The project is very well written, and the drawing has its own style and ideas."

"Needless to say," Qing Zhiyuan said, "Of course it's game planning, and it's embarrassing for you to ask him to do art like Hideki Kamiya." ”

Well?

Is it poorly drawn?

For the first time, Shinji Mikami had doubts about his own aesthetics, because he felt that Hideki Kamiya's project was really well drawn.

But the president must have a reason for saying this.

"Okay president."

……

In fact, Hideki Kamiya is not the only company that delivers resumes and business projects.

He voted for companies such as Nintendo, Konami, Namco, and Capcom.

Anyway, as long as he is a little famous, Hideki Kamiya, who can make him make a game, will vote.

The proposal is also quite good.

So

At the same time, several companies have also taken a fancy to this young gamer who has just graduated from college.

……
