Chapter 47 47. Times have changed!

Author: Pure Miwan

Onmyoji 2, on the basis of inheriting the tradition of Onmyoji 1, the character design is more exquisite, the script is quite powerful, and it has a good reputation, so it quickly triggered a wave of Onmyoji craze.

Sales are rising like a rocket.

It sold out on the first day of release, and sales exceeded 50,000 copies within a week.

At the same time, due to the popularity of Onmyoji 2, it also boosted the sales of Onmyoji 1.

After all, many plots of Onmyoji 2 are actually related to Onmyoji 1. Even if you haven’t played Onmyoji 1, you can still experience the happiness and shock that Onmyoji 2 brings to you, but on the line of Asakura Yuan

It will appear to be somewhat inadequate.

You may not be able to understand the great onmyoji's hesitation when making a decision when faced with his past love, and how cruel it is to choose between the world and his true love.

Therefore, Onmyoji 2 has attracted many players who have fantasies about [galgame], but eventually fell into the plot and kept shouting: [Furuhara Chunqiu, Nishiuchi]. After experiencing the game, in order to complete the game, they went to buy it

Onmyoji 1.

This situation actually has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that they are interconnected. After playing Onmyoji 1, I naturally wanted to see the subsequent plot, so I bought Onmyoji 2.

I bought Onmyoji 2 because I wanted to understand the previous story, so I bought Onmyoji 1.

After linkage, the sales volume of both will increase.

But the disadvantages are also obvious——

It has increased the threshold and difficulty of understanding Onmyoji 2. If you have not experienced Onmyoji 1, some plots will indeed be confusing.

Fortunately, these two games are both very excellent and classic little gal games. Players did not feel any regrets after buying them, but instead felt a sense of satisfaction that the void in their hearts had been filled.



In short, Onmyoji is gaining momentum, with sales miracles happening one after another.

The only thing that can restrict pokeni now is production capacity.

Burning cassettes at the foundry requires a process. The key is that others cannot only serve you as a game manufacturer, so even if you work hard day and night, the production capacity is still insufficient.

For the gaming industry, it is simply incredible that a galgame game can be sold to such an extent.

"Ah~! It turns out that galgame games can also achieve this level?" Yoichi Erikawa, the president of Koei Company, expressed endless emotion.

After the great success of "The Age of Discovery", the game development team of Koei Company also saw the galgame potential brought by the Onmyoji series.

In fact, Honor once relied on the galgame developed by itself to earn money to support the company, so they can better understand P's approach.

I just didn’t expect pokeni to be able to take the galgame game to the sky.

You must know that the game "Night Life" produced by Koei Company at that time could be said to be extremely rough, and it was almost incomprehensible when compared with Onmyoji.

It's not so much a galgame as it is a posture guide.

But even such a crude and simple game still attracted many LSPs, and the sales of the game were quite good.

The later production "The Temptation of Danchi Wife" was almost in a similar situation.

"I thought that this group of players would be very small, but I didn't expect that they could actually contribute such a huge purchasing power."

"I've learned it, I've learned it, and galgame games can actually do this. Let's develop the next game towards galgame plot games."



"I thought Pokeni's Onmyoji was just a flash in the pan, but I didn't expect that the series would achieve such a huge success." Bluvens' president Shigeru Kobayashi said in disbelief.

From this point of view, making galgame games is indeed the right path.

He turned his attention to the chief planner Mizutani Takaya who was communicating with the art and programmer at the opposite station.

So after taking the right direction, why did the game "Street Pickup" fail miserably?

Is it because of poor employment?

But if Mizutani is fired at this time, I wonder what other members will think?

How about we wait and see what the next game will be like before making a decision?

If the next game still lacks any flavor, Mizutani should take the initiative to resign!



Until now, Kobayashi Shigeru, who has not carefully studied the market and player psychology, still has not been able to accurately understand the reasons for the success of Onmyoji.

But other game companies have leaders who have accurately grasped the essence.

For example, the elf who just released "Dragon Knight" in the first half of this year, which is the future famous Elf Club (the most famous is the "Groupe" and "Junior" series), has deeply understood that if the galgame is just a simple mating, then it is animalistic.

Something that has no beauty at all.

But once the girls in it are given characters and beautiful stories are written for them, then this kind of galgame will have great vitality.

After being baptized by "Onmyoji", "Dragon Knight" is no longer the featureless "Dragon Knight" in its previous life. elf has made the girls in Dragon Knight very detailed, and it also has the same effect as "Onmyoji"

Study, gave a tear-jerking ending.

Under such circumstances, Dragon Knight, released in November, actually achieved a terrible sales performance of 70,000 copies.

"Today's players are no longer satisfied with galgame games with simple and crude plots that are overturned directly without any sense of experience." Masato Hiruda, the president of the Elf Club, said in an interview with the media.

"When the game Onmyoji appeared, it already brought the galgame game to unprecedented heights."

"To put it more vividly, then it's probably——

Before "Onmyoji", all we ate were simple meals. But now, we have tasted the joy and long-lasting touch brought by the peerless delicious food. It is hard to imagine what we were eating.

thing."

"We can't go back. We can't go back to the old days when you could make games and make money just by thinking with your lower body."



In fact, coincidentally, the producer TADA of ALICESOFT (Alice Software Co., Ltd.), a company that was known as the east-west double wall in the galgame world together with Elf Club in its previous life, also feels the same way.

"horrible!"

It’s not just the sales of the Onmyoji series that are terrible, what TADA sees is the game changes brought about by the Onmyoji series.

Regardless of the [favorability] design, players need to work hard to improve the female character's favorability through various methods in the game plot, so as to achieve the final H plot.

Or the [Recall Mode] provided by the game——

You can click on the previous H-CG in the recall mode without entering the game again.

These have become standards in the industry.

"horrible."

TADA seemed to have seen a monster.

The producer of the "Onmyoji" series is a terrifying monster, and the settings he created are so perfect that it's like traveling from the future to the present.

I copied the final answers directly onto the test paper, even if I didn't want to give full marks.

"Times are changing!"

"A redefined galgame era."
