“What is this? ”

“Hak Bridge. Don't you know?”

“I don't know!! Dude!!"

In the end, Jun Fei was defeated by my playing with bugs.

Just in case I've stumbled through some old memories, but they're the same. I'll talk to Capco later and ask him to fix it.

At that time, the door of the development room opened and the staff who had gone out to eat returned.

There are now 12 of them, including Morita and Hayashi, that are only part of the second development team. Now you're good enough to play football by department.It 'll be fun to hang out in the summer.

Hayashi came back from eating and sat down next to me and asked Jun Fei.

“Oh, Junpyo. Did you come home from dinner with the deputy director? ”

“I was so curious about the new game machine that I ate it up. ”

Because of that, I'm still full of myself.

“What do you think? It's a little small on the screen, but it's worth it, right? ”

“I was surprised. I never thought I'd be doing Spa 2 on a portable gaming device. It's amazing.”

Honestly, I agree with Junpei.

I felt like Capco was very concerned about the transplant because of the refusal psychology of Mintendo.

At that time, Jun Fei, who had experienced Spa 2 somewhat, asked me.

“So can you play Final Fight 89 now? ”

“Oh, by the way, Final Fight feels a little different than Arcade Fighting."

“Really? How is that different? ”

“Give it a try. I was pretty surprised, too. ”

I took Laon from Junpei and pressed the eject button that was hanging from the top of the instrument. A black cartridge was pushed up from the inside, as if a 3.5-inch diskette were protruding out.

“Oh, that's neat. But isn't that broken? ”

“Once it's not springy and pressing the button pushes up the cartridge, it minimizes the failure rate, but also doesn't know. Some kids are so mean. ”

I unplugged the cartridge from Spa 2, pulled Finel Fight 91 out of the drawer, put it back in, and returned it to Junpei.

As a game magazine journalist, Jun Fei, who operated Raon on his own, focused on the screen with excited eyes. And after a while.

“Cough... Cute ears!! ”

Guy, Cody, and Jun Fei showed resilience in the flashy eyes appearing on the screen.

Normally, Jun Fei chose Cody without hesitation because the true character of this period was relatively easy to play with.

Then the first stage was staged to suit the SD character.

A yellow-haired boss who ran away with a Hiroin in front of his eyes like a pill raising a player was one of the most difficult bosses to clear without the skill of Wari Garri at the time. After a hit, this was one of the skills that anyone knew when an enemy turned the lever against a stiffness and then flipped the jab again.

“The base is similar to Final Fight, but you've created a whole new character and background. I feel like I've made up my mind. ”

“I was originally going to transplant the arcade plates, but they're smaller than they used to be. He must have switched the graphics from Capco to Laon himself. Thanks to you, simultaneous ticketing will be underwater by the fall. ”

“Is it a ticketing act? It's like rebuilding a game, but autumn comes out fast. So Raon's launch is set to Final Frontier 4 and Spa 2? ”

“For now. ”

“So far, Iran has been very disturbing. ”

“I can't believe what I'm saying right now. ”

“I got a lot of behind-the-scenes. And then you said," Actually, the Pentagon software is mine. ’

I'm afraid to say. ”

“ ……. ”

Why don't we leave this guy's magazine reporter and go lay his mattress?

The SD Final Fight played by Junpei was originally supposed to come out in 1993 with the name 'Mighty Final Fight’.

Of course, Raon was a much higher tech than the family, so the graphics were different from the ones I played, but the game was quite similar.

At the end of the family, I saw this piece on a portable gaming device that I had created. I had to realize the history of the game had been somewhat inaccurate.

“Wow, this is for real! It's basically Final Fight, but it feels completely different.

I think it would react well to users once it's launched. ”

“Right? I think so, too. ”

Then Hayashi, who was looking at Jun Fei, opened her mouth.

“I felt a lot during the SD Final Fight this time at Capco. How could you change the entire frame of the game just for Raon? You call this a transcendental transplant? ”

In the '90s, Capco was famous for being a highly conceptual gaming company among third parties.

At this time, of course, I used to tear down a series of spas, "Street Fires 2 Dash," a playable character featuring only four kings as NPCs. There was a ‘Super Street Fire 2’ featuring four new characters, such as Hawk and Cami, and a 'Super Street Fire2 Turbo’ featuring a more speedy move with the last best enemy, 'Gouki’.

Four derivatives came out of one game, but I used to run to the arcade after school when I was excited that I could use a new character rather than being detailed.

“Since the Third Party is like this. We can't just stand by and watch the dragon emblem we're making. ”

“Of course, I have the pride of a first party. ”

My team, who is currently working on a dragon emblem remake, has been screaming for a fight to see if my words inspire me. (In fact, even though the Dragon Emblem has already surpassed the graphics of the masterpiece...) Maurita and Hayashi, who are in charge of character design for the second development team, opened their mouths.

“Sir, I need to talk to you for a minute. ”

“Hmm?"

“Can you come over here for a second? ”

I had already left Jun Fei distracted while playing SD Final Fight and moved on to Morita's work.

“Huh? This... is Ryu Hwa-young, right? ”

“What!? Ryu Hwa-young!!"

The Psychic Battle Cultist Junpei flashed two eyes at my words.

“Huh? Ryu Hwa-young and I look a little different. ”

“Jun Pyo is right. I changed the atmosphere a little differently by using Ryu Hwa Young as a concept. In fact, I've been working a little bit on this for the past few days. ”

“After a few days at work, you were left alone, and you drew this? ”

“I didn't just draw it, actually. ”

“Huh?"

Maurita hesitates for a moment and floats the character who did the dotting on the monitor.

Then, the elegant characters who were almost at the level of celebrity were performing various movements. But these motion things-- no way?

At that moment, Jun Fei who was next to me said what I wanted to say instead.

“Phew. Phew... Cool. Could it be a battle game? ”

“For now, it's a duel. I've been doing Spa 2 recently, and it's a shame there's only one female character. So...”

“Is this a fight game where only female characters show up? ”

Morita nods quietly, I say.

A woman who resembled Ryu Hwa-young on the workbench was definitely wearing a rider's costume with a firm thigh on the leather jacket instead of the armor part.

“Of course, copyright doesn't allow me to create any more psychic battles, but it reminds me of this from time to time. ”

“Explain the concept of the game. ”

“That's all I've been thinking about, and I just want to focus on the war.

I wanted to focus a little bit more on fighting, if I had one more chance to create a psychic battle after the play Takashi showed me at the Psychic Battle. ”

“That's not bad. With camera angles, we can have more intense battles.”

“Camera angle? ”

“For example, when characters are fighting side by side, they are enlarged so that they can focus on the battle. And as the characters get further apart from each other, as they get smaller, their roots become a shooter that avoids shell casings. Maybe we can use ideas that we haven't been able to leverage against the limitations of family performance. ”

“Sir, I think that's going to be okay. ”

In my words, Morita nods, shimmering. Then Hayashi came near us one day and opened her mouth with a worried voice.

“Sir, I think we have a problem with this. The current Psychic Battle is entirely owned by Minuteman. I think it's going to be a real mess if I use characters carelessly... I don't want to get caught up in mintendo and the atmosphere...”

“Of course it is. But there is a way, unless the characters are all the same. ”

“Yes? What are you going to do? ”

“Don't worry. I have an idea. What matters is you guys. I'm asking if we can work with our current team of dragon emblems. ”

“I want to. Sir.”

Maurita replied, frightened to the end of my words. Apparently, the obsession with the Psychic Battle that I left in Mintendo is now stimulating Morita.

Hayashi sighs, scratching her back head in response.

“He's burning up like that. Can you pretend I didn't notice? Dragon emblems are almost at the end of the line anyway, so let's go a little harder. What do you guys think? ”

Hayashi asked the doctors on the second team, and they all nodded and said a few words.

“Yay! I used to have fun with psychic battles, but is the next one a follow-up? ”

“I agree with the team leaders. ”

“New developments are much more fun than bug tests!”

Hayashi said to me with a satisfied look on the staff's answers.

“I heard.”

“Fine. I'll pay you well for the overtime and the merit pay. ”

“Wow!! You're the deputy director!”

Of course you have to pay for what you've been through. It's Pentagon Soft's policy to keep this part of the staff clear.

“Hey, is game development supposed to be this easy? ”

“It's good to let people make the games they want to make. They're not all incompetent. ”

“But still...”

“Jun Fei, don't let me tell you what you saw today. I'll talk to you later at the appropriate time. ”

“Got it. I'll keep my mouth shut. Instead, I'm just going to bring up a little bit about Raon. Spa 2 focus.”

“As long as it's not the SD Final Fight part, you're on your own. ”

“I knew I had a good friend! He's right next to me, so the knighthood just pops out!”

I shook my head with a bloody smile at Jun Fei's words.

&

And then a little bit more time later, August 14, 1991.

The launch of the world's first 16-bit portable gaming machine, Raon, is one day away.

< Short: Psychic Force in Uchimura. >

Ding-dong!

The bell rings.

“Food delivery. ”

12: 15.

Today is also the right time. Does that mean the store is nearby?

When I opened the door to the man dressed as a white waitress, he took out a bowl of bronze and a barbarian (Gundumplings) from a wooden delivery case with a skilled hand and returned.

You don't have to do the math.

I'm sure you've already paid for the entire month at Pentagon Soft.

I quickly put the hot bronze bowl down on the dining table and peeled off the wrap on the bowl.

“I think Wodong here is the best. ”

Before eating the dongle, the crispy fried hermit paste was cut, and the juice filled with oil burst out.

“Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Hot!"

I think dumplings are a perfect food that is comparable to eggs.

How do you think you put meat in thin blood?

Dumplings are just steamed and delicious in boiled water, but I think the best of them is this barbarian (Gundumplings).

Chewing hot meat juice with crispy texture together with meat reminds me of a time when I only had a cup in a small single-sized apartment.

I turned my head for a moment and looked into my room, and the living room was filled with sunlight that was unmatched.

Spring is passing and early summer is coming out, but my room is just as crisp as the late autumn air conditioning.

Kang Jun-hyuk from Pentagon Soft... Should I be lucky to meet Yuki at a street fair without me?

Anyway, I'm living in a way that I can't compare to before.

When the time comes, food delivers accurately and a comfortable and spacious workspace.

The rent here is also being paid by Pentagon Soft by half.

The officetel structure, which is divided into one room, a living room and a Kitchen, in the form of a 1LDK, was not a paradise for single people.

Every week when new work arrives as a parcel, I tear it apart and work diligently.

After all my work, I put a phone in the headquarters, and half of my professional collection came and packed my figures well into the box, and the allowance for it was piled up in the middle of every month.

Kang Jun-hyuk created a very new distribution method for figure-making, which was a way to promote premium figures to readers for a certain period of time, then pre-pay in full and get a booking ticket.

As soon as I receive a win from a customer, a professional figurehead sends me something that is not colored, and I edit it little by little every time to complete a piece. Approximately 7-10 days for one product to be completed.

But this is a big pile of bookings, and I'm still working on it.

The figure work I'm focusing on right now is the ‘streets I'm not in’ heroes. He has been in Minten and Legal Workshops since last fall, but there have been no legal sanctions to create premium figures as intellectual ownership is still on our side of the Pentagon.

The premium figures are booked at the Pentagon Character Shop, right next to the Tamago Shop, and there are only 20 of each type of figures, and they are said to be very competitive among collectors.

Prices range from 60,000 yen to 150,000 yen per person, depending on the quality of the figure. How much will the price go up once the production is finished?

Even the basic sculpture, which has not been painted because it is definitely small production, is excellent enough to have no place to work.

I emptied all the bronze deliveries to the soup. I ran into the workshop, putting the last one of the other teachers in my mouth.

Usually used in the bedroom, it was the perfect place to paint the figures because the sunlight did not come in. The direct sunlight in the sun is something to avoid to induce the discoloration of the figure.

“Phew... Now that you've eaten, let's get to work." ”

The deputy said he would set up a separate workshop within the company if he wanted to, but he happily agreed that I would rather paint here, which was awkward for the company people.

It didn't matter if it was home or where the staff could work most comfortably.

“This is paradise compared to last summer.”

Moreover, even though I screamed, there was no need to look next door because the soundproofing was perfect.

Sitting at the workbench, Miyuki's 12-inch figure, which he recently started painting, is organized by parts, and the doorbell rings outside.

Ding-dong!

"Who is it? Is the courier already here for the bowl?" I haven't even done the dishes yet. ’

It's easy to deliver, but sometimes it's a bit annoying because it was polite to wash and deliver the bowl. But he couldn't have come looking so fast.

As I tilted my head to open the door, I noticed a familiar face.

“Miyazaki?”

She holds a black box the size of her body in both hands and smiles at me.

“Hello, Uchimura!”

“Huh? What are you doing here? ”

“I have a special request from Director Kang Jun-hyuk, Uchimura. ”

“To me?”

“May I come in for a moment? ”

“Oh, well...”

I took Miyazaki's black box instead.

At that moment, I felt a flash of strength in my waist on the weight of the box that was not what I expected.

‘What, it's so heavy. ’

I thought it would be light because I was holding it with no hard color at all, but I put the pretending box on the table in the living room because I, the man, could not squirm.

Miyazaki, who followed me, looked at the bowls on the table and opened his mouth.

“Do you usually order lunch? ”

“I told the company that it was possible, so I left a restaurant nearby a month in advance. ”

“Huh, a month? Aren't you sick of it?”

“Well, it's more of a hassle to cook, more of a convenience store instant.”

“Well, that, too. ”

“By the way, what is this black box? ”

“Oh, it's a figure. This is a special request from Director Kang Jun-hyuk from Uchimura. ”

“Yes? What kind of figure is this heavy? ”

“I don't know. I don't know what it says. D, Dio... ah!! Diorama!!... they say? ”

“Diorama!? ”

“But what's a diorama? Do you know Mr. Uchimura? ”

Diorama was a word used in a set of movies rather than figures.

Gojira, commonly referred to as a feature image, or the Earth Defence Force Hureshman (Supernova Flashman), used to decorate the city in small pieces and put on a monster's mask and act on it, but Diorama was a set made of such little miniatures.

I explained to the curious Miyazaki using the knowledge I know, and she nodded at once if she had seen the battle scene of Hureshman as well.

"If this is a diorama, what kind of diorama is it? Is it Valentine's Day, the one who made the diorama in the street without me? ’

Valentine's Day used to play a full edition from Pentagon Soft shortly after I moved here, but it was also a big turnaround for the game.

When I left school with the last box of chocolates. The door to the science lab that had been locked in the game was open, so I went inside and found a letter written by Hiroin, the owner of the place who had just left a box of chocolates.

As soon as I saw that I was told to go to a good place with my condolences about the fire incident in the science room, my whole body regretted.

So I was a ghost, too? ’

At that moment, I remembered the face of the protagonist looking at the screen.

‘There's something ominous about the box, too. But we can't even open it, and there's Miyazaki, so let's be prepared. ’

I swallowed the drought and carefully opened a huge box the size of a man's torso. Then, elasticity flowed from Miyazaki's mouth, who was standing on the other side.

“Wow!”

"Wow… Isn't that Valentine's Day?" ’

I opened my eyes slightly and looked inside the black box. The elasticity flowed out without me even knowing it.

“Oh, my God, what is all this? ”

First, the black box containing the contents of the diorama was painted with asphalt patterns to see if it itself served as the base of the set.

When the box was moved to the floor and removed from the retention mechanisms on the corners, the box was stretched to ten degrees and created an intersection, and the lid portion of the box had a floor frame around the intersection of chapters 4.

“Ugh... What the hell is this? ”

I put the lid on one side for a moment and examined the contents first.

A broken motorcycle wreckage and a destroyed car that hasn't been painted yet. And those half-collapsed buildings (so damn heavy...) that remind me of the Post Apocalypse. And eight bags of human body sculptures in them?

This is a lot of work.

“I think there's something in here. ”

Miyazaki opens his mouth to the sound of moonlighting coming from inside the tall building in a box.

I took the model from Miyazaki and looked at the bottom.

Then I noticed a lid that could open something outside. Carefully uncovered the lid, it contained feet made of non-woven material.

Probably an illustration representing the complete scene of the diorama.

At the same time, Miyazaki and I stretched out our dried legs.

“Psychic Force? ”

I've never heard of it. Are you planning on launching your new piece again at Pentagon Soft?

The illustration on on the footwear showed whether the short haired woman in the rider's outfit on the leather jacket rolled off the broken motorcycle and tore her clothes everywhere.

A handgun held in both hands, facing the ground, twisting in the air, was pointed toward the sky.

Above it, a pervert with a long tongue was jumping out of the car that was about to explode and chasing her.

“Fantastic.”

In the footprint, there was a beautiful woman, Ninja, who was digging for a gap or a living room holding the end of a collapsed building besides them.

“This shadow is Morita's handiwork. ”

Inside each building was an illustration that looked at one space in various ways, and a total of eight characters were playing a quarrel in the distance.

‘Ah, the angle of the feet in the building is different. ’

I have a rough idea what Mauritan is after. Paint all the parts in the crate and decorate them like an illustration.

“Oh, right. This is a message from you. ”

“A message?”

I opened the envelope that Miyazaki handed me, and there was a letter inside.

- Mr. Uchimura...

I know it's a lot to ask, but do me a favor before Raon launches.

The first arcade action game in the name of Pentagon Soft.

We will be promoting it during the Raon launch, so we look forward to your great work.

‘Psychic Force... It's a title that reminds me of a family's Psychic Battle somewhere. Besides, according to the illustration, is this a water battle for abilities? It'll be fun.'
