29 EP. 8: Sponsored Games (3)

“Sneak in?”

At that moment, the assistant staff, who had been quietly stuck in a corner of the office, looked at me in surprise. The young man who looked at me with the eyes of a surprised rabbit, like a child in his heart, began to listen to our conversation from then on. Who the hell is this guy? While I was consulting with Masaki, I turned around and asked the assistant staff.

“What's your name, by the way? ”

“Oh, my name is Hideki Houjima. ”

What!! You're Hideki!? As expected, you were already working for Fox Soft. By the way, Kawata, Houhima-san, the assistant worker, did the genius directors start out like this? I looked at him for a moment and asked Masaki.

“Have you ever heard of Brain Storm? ”

“Brain Storm? What is that? Character Skill Name? ”

What the hell does this guy know... When I looked at Massaki with that pathetic look, the answer came out of Houjima's mouth.

“A variety of opinions about one topic and how to put it together to lead the best course of action. ”

“Bingo, that's right. When creating a game, it's good to have a variety of opinions. My minten is also doing a lot in the development room with Shigeru. Karin's legend also comes from numerous ideas using Brain Storm. Mr. Houjima, what do you think of the element of infiltration that I told you about? ”

Then I began to feel lively in his hollow eyes. In 2015, where I lived, Houjima Hideki was already one of the world's top gaming directors.

During the Cold War, the character Snake, who quickly infiltrated the nuclear weapons development agency and completed a number of security missions, was launched under the title Full Metal Gear and was going to be a huge hit in Japan as well as the United States.

“You're not going to take out an enemy, you're going to hide and reach your destination without being spotted? ”

“That's it. Rather, getting to your destination without killing an enemy is the beauty of the game. I was on my way here earlier when I saw surveillance cameras installed in every hallway, how about sneaking into enemy bases and relaying tension to players, avoiding soldiers and surveillance cameras? ”

“It's a very unique way. This game is being cleared without being seen by the enemy! In fact, I was planning a game with a similar feeling. So I was surprised by Joon-Hyuk's talk of infiltration. I can't believe someone was thinking the same thing.”

But Massaki thought differently.

“Rin! You're being ridiculous. That kind of game can't be fun. Of course, a man should fight his opponent. If you avoid him like a faggot, the protagonist is less handsome.”

Oh, is that so? If you see an injustice, you'll be the first to run away with it.

Eventually, we talked until evening about this military game, and we divided the way that we created the two games.

At this time, there were 4-5 people who used 2D graphics, so they were able to work simultaneously because their production method was forged so that one game would be completed after about three months.

Well, I hope there's an event-cut god, one for texturing 3D graphics.

I just need to take a dot and activate the object.

Moreover, Houjima has been working on a basic design of grass metal in the corner by himself, so once the opportunity opened, various designs poured out just like the dam burst.

For example, the construction of a model is like an assembly manual, which he had already presented that had completed all of the basic valleys of full metal.

Ultimately, the team leader, Cooking Moto, nodded to my advice and Houjima's passion and allowed me to create a demonstration of a new genre of infiltration action game pool metal.

Then the position of Masaki, the main programmer, became embarrassed.

He seemed quite unhappy as his career in the military game had completely changed. It's a bit of a dot job, but it's a shame to let it go on like this...

“Masaki's game is not such a bad plan. Now that Rambo 2 is open, it's likely that there will be plenty of masculine military games. ”

“Th... right? ”

Masaki looks at me with trembling eyes as I take his side. In fact, looking at his plans, I thought of a game I played as a child, and I made him an offer.

“Masaki's game is large-scale, so let's go after the arcade market first. If you accept one condition, I will be here to help you create Hojima and Masaki's early games. ”

“On what... terms? ”

“Let's change the title a little. Neverdae Soldier. It's too intuitive. ”

“So what do you want? ”

“Masaki is very fond of hot men's souls. Hmmm, what about Hondura? Let's start with a large scale with unlimited performance arcade plates, and then we'll do a family transplant. ”

“Pounding... Pounding... Huh? That's good.”

2015. A masterpiece that everyone in their 30s has remembered since they were little kids. This is how Hondura, one of the legendary games we used to call Lambo and Comando when we were kids, began.

After the meeting, let's pack our bags to go back to our dormitory after it's late at night. All of the staff in the development room stood up with me.

“I'll be going, then. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. There are a lot of technical advisors these days, but there's Shigeru in the development room, and Kawata has recently joined Minten, so I can answer any questions you might have on the phone. ”

“Thank you very much. Thanks to Joon-Hyuk, it feels like we've captured two bunnies, including a new genre of games and an existing one. ”

The team leader, Cooking Moto, repeatedly thanked me. Shortly after, I was escorted out of Fox Soft by employees to the front door as opposed to being initially ignored in the development room.

&

By the fall of 1986, I was living a very busy life. That same day, I was running scared, with a toast in my mouth, just stamped into the office.

“Hey!! Where are you going today? Fox Soft again? Is that where you're going? ”

My work in Fox Soft has been done for the past month. Once to Hojima, Shigeru delivered the top-view know-how used by Karin's legend to suit the framework of the infiltration action genre, and even to Masaki, who insisted on the scale, the transverse scrolling stage and the bell scrolling stage. We've made various actions available, including shooting stages, but Massaki's hair seemed to have a longer build period.

“Today I'm going to Phoenix Soft!! ”

“Oh Phoenix!! He was the Dragon Warrior's maker. ”

“Yes, that's right. Since next month, I've been requesting an inspection for the second cartridge. Seeing as it's a major company with console traction, Mr. Sege suggested that I go check it out myself. ”

“That's right, that's right! I'll give you three of them to my family, so there won't be any harm in stamping their faces. Goodbye, then!”

Kamauchi was smiling in the studio at the royalty of gaming producers pouring in every month. Mintendo Co., Ltd. has recently completely changed its industry. No longer the toy company that makes the toys, he turned all production lines into a family and headed to the game company.

Three years after the family was already launched, Mintendo's family had a 30% stake in Japan. In other words, one of the three kids who are leaping into the neighborhood has a family.

There were also some things that could not be laughed at because they were so popular, and the entire family sold out a week after they went out to demand was one of the rare items in the local cities.

What the kids wanted was a family, but the adults who didn't know it often gave them relatively easy to get a NEGA disc, which had an adverse effect that would only provoke the child's anger. So now the NEGA disc was hugging its head with increasingly thin inventory of returns.

My parents did the same thing when I was a kid. They both looked like the same game machine to adults. At that time, when I received a gift from the NEGA disk, I remember holding the game machine in front of my eyes in embarrassment and grief and tears. So I asked her to buy a family of mintendos, and her parents bought it on a domestic version of the NEGA disk that was officially imported by a domestic large corporation. It was a gamble boy.

He must have paid me a lot of money to expect me to be happy, but all I showed him was annoyance and tears, so now that I think about it, I was really sorry. It's been three years since I came here. I miss my parents all of a sudden... How are you?

“I'll be back then. ”

I left the headquarters after I finished greeting President Kamauchi. Phoenix had a company in Tokyo and had to move to Shinkansen. I was tired from driving my car and used to spend a lot of time in Shinkansen for long business trips.

Recently, most of the new gaming companies have had enemies in Tokyo since the economy was active. Thanks to my headquarters in Kyoto, I often travel to Tokyo almost once every two days.

Though it would be convenient to relocate the mintendo headquarters to Tokyo, it was founded in 1889 and was soon to be celebrated for 100 years.

Moving such a company's prison was impossible from the beginning... I went to Shinkansen and forgot my lunch box as usual, then went to the train rest room to digest. I don't enjoy smoking, but sometimes I used to burn one at the beginning of the meal, and for some reason, if I go up to Shinkansen, do I really want to burn a cigarette?

It was not yet time for the mobile phone to come out, and there was nothing to do sitting still, but it was not fun because I also knew the contents of the dragon ball that was the most talked about recently. For me, trends and events from the 1980s were not particularly interesting.

‘You look very well dressed. ’

One day, I spoke like a female head office. Yeah, well, Ellis used to say the same thing in America.

In my standards, I only wore it the way I liked to wear it in 2015, but I used to hear that it felt good. I always wore an angled black suit and tie when I was in my 80s, and I liked to wear a slightly brighter tone of semi-formal, so I was noticeable everywhere.

Kamauchi also initially instructed me to suit up with other employees, but recently my outdoor work became more frequent and, above all, Kamauchi no longer tackled my outfit. Well, I don't usually dress like that, so other employees tend to think of it as a special case when they come from the U.S. office.

Chug. I sat at the rec room table and lit a cigarette. I looked around and saw that they were all engaged in the game with games & watches in their hands, without having to be an adult. The game they are currently enjoying is a legendary game & watch edition of Karin released a month ago.

If the portable gambling boy project is successfully completed, perhaps Karin's legend will decorate the last of the Games & Watches.. Then I suddenly remembered the game & watches I received from the senior gaming store in my head. I always carry it around just in case, but rarely play it

Even if I didn't play 'Company game’, I had enough money in my account to spend until I was already dead, and I had relatives with executives in my company, so I had no reason to play games & watches as a Navigator.

"I'm bored. Let's play for a while." ’

The color is different from the legendary game of Karin & '92; s Watch, so you won &' 92; t notice much. Even if you get caught doing something, you can only surround yourself with mintendo testing equipment. After a while, I had more time and games & watches than money. I stared at the game screen and froze with a blank expression.

The game has... changed.

Before crossing over to Japan, the phrase "Sponsored Games" came to mind on the game & watch that changed to the latest trends such as touchscreens and 3D screens.
