……

After signing the cooperation agreement with Ghibli related to "Spirited Away", Sei Chi Yuan, Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki all seemed very happy.

For Studio Ghibli, Suzuki is also worried about the financial situation, and it is naturally his greatest wish to be able to sail away on the big ship of Pokeni and earn more money.

As for Miyazaki, he thinks that some things can only be taught in a cramming way through animation, of course, he himself does not recognize animation as teaching, but the ideas contained in it are real.

In the case of passively receiving information, the audience is somewhat lacking in thinking and experience.

But the game is different, and the game allows them to fully immerse themselves in it, experience the world he created more realistically, and become a child like Chihiro to experience and feel.

The animation duration is limited.,It's definitely not exhaustive.,A lot of information needs to be screened.,But the game is different.,Now the game can already be several G in size.,More information can be implanted in it.,The part that can't be expressed in the movie or can't be put into the movie is made into the game.,Let players have more real feelings.,More real to explore.,To understand what he really wants to express.,More detailed things.。

This is Miyazaki's long-cherished wish.

And for Qingzhiyuan:

Damn!

And you can make a lot of money!

The most important thing is that the game world of "Spirited Away" has already been built in his brain.

Just a granny soup's oil house can be built into a very interesting maze, the grand shape, coupled with the complex structure, full of exploration, plus some unique gameplay, will definitely surprise players.

In the game itself, Qing Zhiyuan does not want to restrict the specific behavior of players, just like the insect master, open to them to explore.

Then, in the game, the world envisioned by Miyazaki and the characters in it were restored as much as possible.

On this point, Qing Zhiyuan also exchanged views with Miyazaki.

"Well, that's a good idea, I've played Bug Master too," Miyazaki said with a smile, "Bug Master is really the best game I've played so far." ”

It doesn't have to be the most fun, but it certainly has to be the most impressive.

Especially in the insect division, there is no battle, and it is not like galgame that allows you to watch the text commentary the whole process, it is a real construction of a world of insects and people, allowing you to explore, and each NPC is living in its own way.

Everyone is not playing a role, but living a real life, which makes Miyazaki very emotional.

Even his evaluation of the Bug Master is far higher than all the games.

"That's the real game," said Miyazaki, blowing his beard and glaring, "so it would be great if Spirited Away could make a game like this." ”

Qing Zhiyuan rolled his eyes, isn't the biggest reason why you like the insect master because it is easy to operate and there is no fighting?

"However, in this way, we have to enrich the story and setting of each character itself." Qing Chiyuan said, "Miyazaki-senpai, let me tell you about the production logic of "Insect Master".

If we remove the protagonist of Yingu from the game, you will actually find that all the characters in the world of the insect master are running as usual, and the world will not change anything.

It's like without the silver gu, the earth still spins.

The most critical point is that when each character is set, it must be set according to a living person, they have their own joys, sorrows, joys and sorrows, and everyone's life is complete.

Miyazaki-senpai, you know what I mean, right? ”

"Ah, this ......," Miyazaki was a little embarrassed.

In other words, even if Chihiro hadn't entered this wonderful world, how and how Yu's oil house should work, whether it was the customers who came and went every day, or the waiters who worked inside, everyone was doing their job and completing every day of their lives.

What happened in the middle, the character background of each character is actually designed.

Only in this way can the world of Spirited Away be a complete world.

After the communication, Qing Zhiyuan has confirmed that Miyazaki understands his thoughts, and Miyazaki also agrees with Qing Zhiyuan's design.

"Then it's up to Ghibli."

……

The game is not in such a hurry, the main thing is to wait for Ghibli to finalize the storyboard before it can be started, and the setting set given by Miyazaki is also very important to help Pokeni build the whole world.

In terms of specific time, Qing Zhiyuan estimates that it will be the second half of the year, and this is still a relatively ideal situation, based on the inspiration of Hayao Miyazaki, and there will be no major rework in the middle.

However, according to Miyazaki's previous tonality, it is inevitable to rework something, and it is actually a long process to refine and work out many of the details.

However, Qingzhiyuan is not in a hurry, and the company has other games to develop.

So Qing Zhiyuan called the game director Shinji Mikami into the conference room.

Now Mikami's position is very high, he is already a manager, and when Qing Zhiyuan is not there, he is the one who coordinates the operation of the entire game department, including the establishment and development of follow-up projects, the production of current game projects, the allocation of resources, etc......

There are three above, Qing Zhiyuan has actually been liberated, otherwise, just doing management every day will tire people half to death.

Seeing the president ask, Mikami had already prepared the information.

The PPT is playing on the big screen.

"President, the project we are working on right now,"

"First of all, Monster Hunter," Shinji Mikami pressed a button, and a picture appeared on it.

Among them is a JRP-looking protagonist holding a large sword, wielding the weapon in his hand, and opposite him is a female fire dragon.

In terms of setting, Qing Zhiyuan did not follow the development route of Monster Hunter in a complete sense.

For example, the sword is a weapon, which was not available in the original Monster Hunter at the beginning.

Some weapon content from the updated version has been added to make the experience richer for players.

It's not so much that they're developing Monster Hunter 1, it's better to say that they're developing [Monster Hunter Fusion], and many of the settings are more from the Monster Hunter world.

Now after moving to the DC game console for development, the effect is obviously better, and the number of models that can be made has also increased, and some monster models look quite realistic, like that.

When the other person is much larger than you, the feeling of oppression comes out all of a sudden.

In short, after Shinji Mikami reported the progress of Monster Hunter, Qing Zhiyuan expressed great satisfaction.

"The production of this game will probably be completed in the second half of this year, and it will be released after the bug convergence is completed." Shinji Mikami said, "At the latest, it will be in October." ”

"Well, that's good, I'll take it to the E3 electronics show when the time comes, and I'm sure it will scare the hell out of those guys." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Just kidding, Monster Hunter is an epoch-making production, although it is not as delicate as that of the Machine Age, but to be able to come up with such a level of work, as far as the eye can see, there is no one in the whole world who can fight.

And Monster Hunter also has a great benefit, its own game setting is not limited to a certain country and region, it is a background story that combines East and West, and the design is biased towards the setting of the natural ecological network.

Survival, growth, tooling, crafting, and development are common to all of humanity.

Therefore, such a game itself is very suitable for global release, and when the time comes, not only the acceptance of Neon players will be high, but also the acceptance of Omi players.

Take it out and it's the king fried.

Monster Hunter is now led by Hideki Kamiya, and he has actually done a pretty good job in terms of action performance and sense of impact, and Aochigen said that he is worthy of being the one who made Devil May Cry in his previous life.

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

After the monster hunt is successful, Hideki Kamiya can kick in and develop the Devil May Cry series.

Seeing the smile on the president's face, Shinji Mikami couldn't help but tighten the chrysanthemum and shuddered.

The president laughed too intimidatingly.

It always gives people the illusion that I'm not doing something wrong.

"The Dragon Quest led by Hidetaka Miyazaki and Gen Hibuchi together is almost in the late stage, and it is expected that the time for the completion of development will lag a little behind, compared to "Monster Hunter".

However, Qing Zhiyuan watched the relevant PPT display, and the journey of searching for the dragon is one of the original games of P Society, which is very worth looking forward to.

The script of Xuyuan Xuan, Qing Zhiyuan had not read it in his previous life, and for him, the journey of dragon hunting was really a new experience.

And in this game, you can further feel the shadow of Hidetaka Miyazaki.

It's a bit like the combination of oriental legends and souls-based games.,The picture texture of the game itself has been done quite well.,There's a sense of realism.,But,In the game,Multiple scenes have been made quite beautiful.。

Falling cherry blossoms, white snow-capped mountains......

The leaves drifting on the surface of the lake make you feel like you're in a whole new fantasy world.

If I had to say it, I might be a wolf with Miyazaki's style.

3D is a 3D game, yes, but the feeling of oriental fairy tales is also obvious.

It's probably such a wonderful combination.

The story of the game itself is also very good, although it is simple, but it touches people's hearts, and Qing Zhiyuan has a feeling of concern after listening to Shinji Mikami's statement.

"If it's after Monster Hunter, then the dragon hunt will be scheduled until the end of the year." Qing Zhiyuan frowned.

"Well, that's right."

Shinji Mikami looked at the information in his hand and gritted his teeth, "There may be no Pokémon series at the end of this year." ”

"Huh?"

"It's too late for the production cycle." Mikami said, "Lisa Asano, it took a lot of time to prepare for the project, and the follow-up production plan was only proposed in March this year.

It's almost a sequel to the big world of Pokémon 3D, and the development time is expected to be about two years, which means that the game won't be seen until the end of next year at the earliest. ”

The sequel to the new Pokémon 3D big world, called Dream World, will add some more fantastical dream elements to it in terms of story, and a number of hypnotic Pokémon and Pokémon that can change dreams will also be added.

A two-year development cycle isn't a long time.

"It's okay, let's just develop in the normal order." Qing Zhiyuan said that he could understand.

You can't expect to have a New Year's money harvester every year, and it doesn't seem realistic to rely on the Pokémon series to boost sales.

The R&D cycle is there, and Qingzhiyuan has to respect the objective laws to some extent.

"However, in the battle, you can actually add the magic and mechanical Pokémon at the beginning of this year, including the My Neighbor Totoro series, as long as there is a handheld game, players will definitely go crazy." Shinji Mikami said.

"Hmmm......"

Qing Zhiyuan frowned, clasped his hands and thought for a while.

"You can come out, just arrange the time."

In fact, Qing Zhiyuan is thinking about another thing-

Sega's handheld so far, although it has come out to GP2, but the overall structure has not changed much, you must know that the future handheld games must also keep up in performance, for example, the use of the latest 3D chip, can support 3D games, and even the capacity must be changed, so that the handheld games become bigger and better quality.

The development of the new handheld machine was urgent, and Qing Zhiyuan decided to promote the matter after his death after this meeting.

"There are also 86 sequels, and now they are also in the final stage." Shinji Mikami briefly introduced that Mika Ishino and Asaeda have almost done the sequel to 86, and it is expected to be completed in the second half of this year.

Since the last Waterloo, Qing Zhiyuan couldn't help but tremble when he heard the name 86.

However, there is a sequel to prove itself.

If not, it will really become a stain on history.

Therefore, Qing Zhiyuan is still very happy to hear the news of the completion of the development of the 86 sequel.

"In this way, in fact, the manpower on Mika Ishino and Jun Asaeda will be released," Shinji Mikami tapped on the keyboard, "I expect them to be able to develop two or so more galgames this year, or one other medium-sized project." ”

"Yes." Qing Zhiyuan nodded, "Let's give them some time first, and see if Ma Zhijun has a game script that he wants to make?" ”

"Okay president." Shinji Mikami recorded.

Qing Zhiyuan has a lot of galgames that he wants to do, such as "AIR" in his heart, he has been waiting for Ma Zhijun for so long, this guy hasn't created it yet, and it seems that this timeline will not necessarily repeat the content of his previous life.

At that time, it is estimated that he will have to give the outline, and then let Ma Zhijun write it.

In addition to "AIR", there are many more, such as "Violet's Eternal Garden", "The Marriage of Five-Equal Flowers", "The Young Pig-headed Boy Doesn't Dream of the Bunny Girl...... It's all games that Qing Zhiyuan wants to make.

Yes...... Sometimes the lack of time and manpower is also a problem, Qing Zhiyuan is already thinking about whether to recruit more people to implement his ideas, and then let Ma Zhijun write his own script with peace of mind.

"Nasu Mushroom and Takashi Takeuchi are here, "Fate/Zoro" is in production, and it is expected to be completed by the middle of next year."

FZ is obviously a galgame, but it takes a long time, not because the game itself is complicated or what, mainly because there are a lot of gorgeous battle scenes in it, which are completed in the form of animation, and this part is more time-consuming and burns money.

However, Qing Zhiyuan said that it doesn't matter, as long as the game is developed so that players can like it.

The animation content made in the game will be applied to the TV animation related to FATE later, so it will not cause a waste of resources, in Qing Zhiyuan's view, this is equivalent to doing future work in advance.

"There is also the card battle of "Yu-Gi-Oh", we have almost developed it, and now it can run on the DC game console, and players can play against each other through remote networking, and they can also exchange cards on the network and build card decks or something."

"Let's put it there for now," Qing Zhiyuan said that he was not in a hurry now.

Yu-Gi-Oh's card game is a card that can only be played until the anime has had enough impact.

And Qing Zhiyuan thinks that Yu-Gi-Oh can be bound to the upcoming Dandelion game platform.

The game platform must be made, the more games stored on it, the better, and Yu-Gi-Oh can become an iconic game above.

"Okay president."

Shinji Mikami fully understood Seijiwon's thoughts and recorded them.

"And then there'......"

He opened his mouth, a little hesitant.

"What's wrong?" Qing Zhiyuan asked with some confusion.

"Isn't it time for a sequel to "Insect Master"?" Shinji Mikami asked with a shy old face.

Mainly because the producer of the insect master is Gu Yuan Chunyu, Qing Zhiyuan doesn't speak, who dares to urge?

After the release of "Insect Master" at the end of last year, Qing Zhiyuan has no time to care about the rest of the matter, and it stands to reason that the first generation of the game is doing so well, and it must be a sequel.

"Oh yes, it's a sequel." Qing Zhiyuan pursed his lips, thinking how could he forget such an important matter.

He picked up a pen and recorded Insect Master 2.

"Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll finish writing the outline of the story, and you can find someone to carry it out. Or continue to hang the name of the producer of the ancient hara Tsubaki. I'll manage it when I have time. Qing Zhiyuan said.

"Okay president."

"About Pokeni over there" Shinji Mikami looked down at the information in his hand, ""Eternal Ashes 2" has been developed, and it should be released in the near future.

The Matrix is still in the works, and the good news is that the bullet time feature was implemented at the end of last year and is now populating the levels.

It is expected to be completed in the second half of next year. ”

If it is released next year, it will be able to catch up with the hit of "The Matrix 2", and it can trigger a wave of popularity and complete the best sales effect.

In addition, Shinji Mikami also reported on the progress of Sega's "Shenmue", and Aochiyuan proposed changes in the design, which is almost equivalent to refactoring the game's mechanics, and the development time will naturally be postponed, and it will not be until the first half of next year to meet players.

……

After listening to Shinji Mikami's report, Qing Zhiyuan's confidence was boosted.

Wow, it seems that 2000 is destined to be an extraordinary year.

Qing Zhiyuan counted it carefully and found that his hands were full of Wang Fang.
