EP. 8: Sponsor Game (4)

-Start button to start the game. -

Sponsor game? It's a completely different form of company game from the one I used to play. After pressing the start button in a strange expectation, a simple prologue began. And after a while, I found out that I was the main character in this game.

The prologue was a plot to support the management of a game company in crisis with the rich funding of time-slipping in the future. What's interesting is that all the gaming companies that appear here actually exist, and when you click on them, they have management status and capital. And the title of the game is currently being developed.

When I clicked on the Phoenix company I was heading to as a test, I was reminded that I was in the final review for the launch of Dragon Warrior 2. The company's finances are very stable and employees' morale is high. You're a major game developer, too? It would be a diplomatic issue, given the fact that the staff are loyal and the message that it's almost impossible to make a transfer.

The development progress of Fox Soft's Pool Metals is at 52%, so we're on a moderate voyage... Mr. Hojima has definitely accelerated his development since he became the main director... Next, I looked at the triangle soft that I'm interested in recently.

-Kings Quests from Kawaguchi Director. 5200 Sold. No games currently under development. -

5200 is a total shortfall... even before I created the Finel Frontier, a great piece of Triangle, but the sequel of the games I launched was hard to finance.

But when I looked at the company's financial condition, I understood the desperate feeling of putting FINAL, which means FINAL, on the upcoming finale frontier. In the future, I knew that the final frontier was a leader in the luxurious graphics of the times. The moment I saw the final frontier 7 tag demo, which was launched at the gear station in Sensoni. I thought my heart was going to freeze...

"Aid" is truly a great effect on everything. The ‘Dragon Warrior’, who created the first family RPG game, has already won the title of the national game and is currently on the verge of producing two cartridges.

On the first side, if the warrior had saved the princess alone, the party system would have been introduced in the second round, leaving with his colleagues on a journey to defeat the Demon King. Also, since the previous episode and the scenario followed, the protagonist is the granddaughter of the warrior who defeated the Demon King in the episode... Many users were joyfully playing the first episode and were counting the two releases.

If we stay this way, we'll be swept away by the impact of Dragon Warrior 2 when it's released.

Actually, I could go help them right now, but not yet. Let's wait a little longer. Anyone who hits the ground gets a chance to jump again? kneeling down for momentum like someone's cartoon. By the way, a sponsor game... I can see industry information at a glance... This is fun! I don't need money anymore. I need people.

When I arrived at Phoenix that afternoon, I was guided by an employee to find the Dragon Warrior 2 development part.

“Hello, I'm Kang Jun-hyuk, a Mintendo employee. ”

“Joon-Hyuk! Nice to meet you!”

Unlike Fox Korea, Phoenix's development room was very favorable. The cartridge was already fully developed, so the office atmosphere was very idle.

“Thank you for coming here in person for this inspection. You saved me the trouble. ”

“No, in the case of the Dragon Warrior, Mr. Kamauchi has enjoyed allowing us to inspect business trips, as well as driving sales for our family. ”

“I can see you care about our company in Mintendo. ”

“Of course. We are also looking forward to winning this Dragon Warrior 2. Will users be lining up at the national gaming store again? ”

“By the way, it was a true spectacle in Karin's legend. I heard that limited edition marketing is Kang Jun-hyuk's idea, but you're really great at your young age. ”

“A compliment. Haha.”

How long are we going to do this? After 10 minutes of conversation with the development team, the inspection started. When the Dragon Warrior's logo came to mind with the title song I missed, I had a smile that I was unaware of.

“I've seen it in my books, but the Dragon Warrior seems to care a lot about the sound. It's a monotonous beat, but it feels magnificent. ”

“That's because the orchestra director is doing a vocational sound screening. ”

“By the way, isn't the illustration of the cartridge case Toriyama now playing the Dragon Ball? ”

“Yes, I've been giving Toriyama character illustrations since we launched chapter one. It is still difficult to express gorgeous graphics on the game screen, so I've asked the popular Toriyama to illustrate it so as to evoke the imagination of the users. ”

At this point, the Dragon Warrior's game graphics were very monotonous in color. Especially since the first warrior was a warrior painted blue all over the field... it was no different when he came to 2. The magic expression was just flashing red and yellow on the combat screen, and the combat scene was also a dark screen with only monsters in it.

‘When I first encountered Dragon Warrior 4 as a child, I felt like I was on a real fairy tale adventure, but I guess my memories were a bit distorted. ’

I quickly started the game after clicking ‘Aaaah’ in the initial character's name.

“Joon-Hyuk doesn't worry much about naming warriors. ”

There's a sad legend you don't know about when the warrior's name became 'aaaaah'... even in the 80s when the Internet didn't exist, there were users who enjoyed the Dragon Warrior in the country. It's because the business owners, commonly called pouch merchants, bought a few families and games in Japan and returned to Korea to make a big profit and sell them.

when there was so little information about the game at the time. The only analogy we had to the content of the game was the painting on the game pack. Was it 91 years? One day, when the Dragon Ball was becoming popular in the country because of pirate piracy. As I was walking by the game store in the neighborhood, I had a completely captivating memory of a familiar illustration drawn on the game pack.

At first glance, in the shadow of a dragon's ball, I could not help but feel the excitement and expectations of that night. I was so excited about what type of game the Dragon Ball character was drawn in.

After a few days, the Dragon Warrior, who had barely bought my mother for a few days, gave me great disappointment. I had never played RPG until then because I didn't know how to play anything but action games.

In those days, the action genre was all that was left of the game. Whether it's a person, an airplane, or a car, you have to move around and crush your enemies, but the game was all about going back and forth to the village and fighting monsters when you came out. It was also so dirty that as soon as I stepped out of the field, I was soon over-gamed by a powerful monster.

“What kind of game is this!! ”

I was so angry at that time that I never looked back at Dragon Warrior 4 again. It was because I felt betrayed by a great illustration and irritated. A few days later, I picked up the Dragon Warrior and went back to the game store.

“I'd like to trade this for another game.”

The local PC assembler frowned at my Dragon Warrior 4 and replied.

“Wait a moment. ”

After a while, he started printing something using a black and white printer. I remember a loud printer in a quiet game store that had been ringing for a long time.

“If you get this much printer, you'll get paid, and I'll just give it to you for free. The game. It's the most fun you've ever played in a family game. But there must have been a lot of difficulties for you to play as a child. Most of all, I don't know Japanese. But do you want to try again slowly, looking at this tackle house? Then you'll see that it was a really fun game you've never experienced so far. ”

After receiving a block of Dragon Warrior 4's Raid House from him, I returned home and plugged the Dragon Warrior into the family and powered it up. After a very big and cool title song came out, I slowly started playing the game in contrast to the attacking house he gave me.
