New Game Announcement Event

The live broadcast with Rio was extremely well received.

Today, three days after the live broadcast, Rio and I were invited to an event to announce a new game.

I would not have attended this kind of event before.

However, I feel that many things have changed since I met Rio.

“I had heard that you don’t attend these kinds of events, so thank you very much for your attendance.”

While Rio and I were waiting in the waiting room, a mature man came to greet us.

Me and Rio got up from the sofa.

“No, please make yourself comfortable. My name is Tachibana, and I am the project leader of Start Fantasy’s development project.”

Saying so, Tachibana-san handed me and Rio her business card.

“I will take it. I am Takamori.”

“My name is Rio Natsume.”

Start Fantasy is a new smartphone game developed by Lugh, the same company behind Pro-hopple.

From a quick look at the introduction video, it seems to be a character development game.

It seems to be a game in which players develop characters of various characteristics and enjoy battles against other players and the storyline.

The game seems to put particular emphasis on beautiful girl characters, and it is likely that the main focus is on attracting male fans.

“I just watched the introductory video, and I can see that a lot of effort has been put into this game.”

“Yes, the voice actors, artists, and other development staff are all top-notch people, and I think we have created something truly wonderful.”

Lugh is a big game company in the global market.

It gained explosive recognition in Japan with Pro-hopple, but it also makes other games such as RPGs and games in collaboration with anime.

We were called in as the world and Japanese winners of the Pro-hopple competition, which is a representative of Lugh.

Other attendees included the voice actors, artists, developers, and representatives of Lugh who were involved in the Start Fantasy project.

“I’m going to ask Takamori-san and Natsume-san to actually play the game during the event, so please do so.”

“I understand. I’m looking forward to it.”

“I’m looking forward to it, too, since it’s a genre I don’t usually play.”

I can’t think of many reasons for inviting professional gamers to an event other than to let them play games.

“Well, I’ll leave you now.”

“Yes, thank you for coming all the way.”

After saying so, Tachibana-san left our waiting room.

From there, I watched the event on the monitor until it was my turn to speak.

The voice actors were voicing the characters live.

I knew it was amazing to be a professional.

It is a rare opportunity to see voice actors at work up close, so I was very impressed.

I simply respect the fact that they can do so many different voices.

After the interview with the developers, it was finally my and Rio’s turn to speak.
