Game Market 1983

< EP. 26: Taekdong (4) >

After a while, I had a simple tea party in the staff lounge inside the Tamago Shop, separately gathering the critical members. A total of eight members, including myself, had never met before and were making strange faces.

When I explained to them that I had a separate event zone for the 'Hop Goblin Dungeon' party play we were going to play today, everyone was surprised to see me.

"So... Mr.K is Kang Jun-hyuk, the developer of Dragon Emblem, and you want me to demonstrate the dungeon attack we're going to play today while people are watching?"

"Yes, it is. So, by the way, how many people here have taken a level 10 shot?"

Then about five people raised their hands. Then Jun Pyo and I are seven... and we're one short. Then Miyazaki, who was behind me, raised his hand slightly and said.

"Sir, I have a Level 10 character over there."

"Oh, really? Perfect timing, but it would have been a shame to show you one party play and then at least two."

Then one of the 'critical' members opened his mouth.

"Hey, I didn't confirm that we're in the event yet."

So I answered the same bluntly.

"Really? I was going to give the full edition of Dragon Emblem 2 to those of you who participated today for free, but unfortunately,"

Then I was shocked at the faces of the critical members.

"You're just going to play a game and give it to me?"

"Our Pentagon will also be able to see enough promotional effects thanks to your play.

So, of course, I think you should be rewarded. "

The members nodded and agreed to my answer. The members' minds were slightly shaken, but I offered them a proposition again.

"Well, what do you do? Will you be attending the event? Of course, there is no coercion.

If you don't want to, you can just watch. But I can promise you one thing... "

I looked at the curious members for a moment, then said.

"I'm sure it'll be a fun experience. You will be remembered as the first users to play 'Monster Raid' on Dragon Emblem."

"Ah…"

First. Best. Is there another word that would excite a man this much?

Just a small group of critical members who wanted to play together, nodded slowly to my words and said they would all attend.

'Yes, of course it looks like this.'

&

And a little more time. Some people gather in the afternoon.

A speaker installed inside the Tamago Shop suddenly announces a surprise event as it flows through the dragon emblem's theme song.

- In a few moments, there will be a Monster Raid for those of you who reach the Dragon Emblem Character Level 10 in the Battle Zone. If you are interested in playing the Dragon Emblem party, we invite you to join us in the Battle Zone today. Once again...

"Hmm? Monster Raid? What's that?"

"Well... is this about Dragon Emblem 2?"

"Is party play called Raid?"

"I don't know what it is, but let's go."

On Miyazaki's announcement, the people in the store began to walk in front of the Ur Battle Zone. As I was already preparing to demonstrate with the critical members on the Battle Zone, I felt suffocated by the immersion of people.

Soon after, the battle zone quickly surrounded its guests, and Tayama, the shield knight player, was nervous and swallowed dry saliva.

Standing nearby, I cheered him on by tapping his shoulder during the application.

"Pay no attention to the spectators, but pay attention to the game."

"Oh, yes. This is the second party we're gonna play, right?"

"Yes. For now, after the ratings of the first party comprised exclusively of critical members,

Takama and I, and Miyazaki, we met earlier. "

"Huh? Well, aren't there three? I thought Raid was a four-man party."

"Well, there's still one less..."

At that moment, I heard Miyazaki's voice behind my back.

"Senior!! Jun Pyo just got here."

"I'm sorry I'm late."

"Why are you so late? I called him right away this morning…"

"You'll be back soon because you have a car, but not me. Do you know how long it takes for Akihabara to get on the train from my house? I'm so tired of working late until dawn."

I answered Jun Fei's grumbling complaint with one ear.

"You and I are going to have a second party. Just take a break."

"What, are there two parties?"

"There are eight of you and me."

"Gosh, are there eight people who have taken a level 10 photo on this hellish difficulty? I think it's even more amazing..."

"I made it possible for you to clear."

"Oh, my! It's like the cat is thinking of me."

Jun Fei made fun of me with a disgusting expression. However, it is true that none of the games I have made so far have any games that I can enjoy comfortably. But games like that don't really work.

Even if the Pentagon doesn't make it, there's plenty of it from other manufacturers...

Mintendo's games, for example, tend to be the opposite of the Pentagon, often release a lot of work that all ages can enjoy smiling…

Every gaming company has its own color.

Even if you use a genre called "Valentine's Day," like the Luigi Mansion, which was made in Mintendo in the 2000s, there were cute ghosts and laughter codes that the kids couldn't help but enjoy.

In that sense, the color of the Pentagon is very hard. With just the announcement of the title Dragon Emblem 2, manic users were often excited and excited to sweat on their hands. It's not like they don't play the Supermaridge either, but instead of a game where everyone can clear just a little bit, they can endure the agony and clear just a little while, no matter how hard. The sensation of Qataris gives players great satisfaction.

That's why I still haven't forgotten the look people made when they first unravelled the dragon emblem.

- What extreme difficulty will this work show me, and what reverse will it hit me with? -

This was why users liked Pentagon Soft's games.

And I thought I could use their psychology.

After a while. Always' Battle Monster 'in the Battle Zone!' The host who was chanting came up on stage. Behind him, four community members who were stiffened with tension slowly sat on a chair set on the table and took out their Raon.

"Good morning, everyone. I'm here today to give you a special update on the Dragon Emblem Trial of Party Play."

"Waaaahhhh!"

"Haha! Thank you for your support. Ha. G. Unfortunately, I have never played a four-player RPG game before, so I hope you'll understand if the relay is a little clumsy."

"Huh? So this is your first time watching a party play?"

"Yes, it is. So maybe we're watching the historic moments of the Dragon Emblem series together."

"Oh-oh!"

"Let me introduce you to some of the first players to challenge Monster Raid.

The first person I'd like to introduce to you is Nakamura, the leader of the first party. "

Waking up at the introduction of the host, Nakamura bowed his head, blushing his face at the applause of the users.

"Hello, Nakamura. Tell users a little bit about the job and position you're building."

"Character jobs are founders. Positions are tankers."

"The 'tanker' that Nakamura speaks of is the position to protect his colleagues at the forefront of the party. It says here that the enemy is more defensive than any other profession, and that it can defend against attacks while drawing attention to itself!"

The moderator smiled brightly, showing people the script he was holding.

After the introduction to the rest of the players, the moderator once again explained the job and position of the first party.

"The first party to enter the Hobb Goblin dungeon is the Lancer, the Angle Archer, the Thief, and the Drug Master. In position, tankers, dealers, dealers, healers. You can see that.

In terms of RPGs, I think it's a party structure that's fundamental. "

Whether employees who see society are also knowledgeable about gaming. I added a friendly description and explained it easily.

"So I'm going to start with the first Raid of the Dragon Emblem that you've all been waiting for. A big round of applause for those of you from the gaming community who participated in the event.

Please. "

"Waaaahhhh! Good luck!"

"I'm also a member of a critical community! I came from Nagoya on purpose!!"

"Ouch!! Here we go!!"

Participants take a small sigh if they are intimately nervous and raise the power button on Raon.

We have already checked the battery in case the game may turn off in the middle and have secured the data cable as well.

Soon, the small cameras in Raon's dragon emblem in their hands put it on the ceiling.

The four installed projectors were sprayed with images.

"Now, for the first time in the history of dragon emblems, or portable gaming machines, four players have finally come together to play. Here's another surprise event for you. Has anyone here reached character level 10?"

Several of the user's hands flashed in the host's question.

"Ahhh!! If you just touched your hand, you can attend the Hop Goblin Dungeon event. Go to the counter now and validate your level 10 character to participate

Sign up and receive free Dragon Emblems 2 for all users participating today. "

"Wow!! Amazing!!"

"Hey, I'm level 8 now, can I level up here and join the event right away?"

The host, who was asked the unexpected question, turned his head toward me to take a quick look at me. Then we gave him a silent nod, and the moderator smiled broadly.

I screamed.

"It's possible!!"

As permission fell from the host's mouth, the people gathered in front of John of the event began to pull Raon together. I was embarrassed that everyone was taking the same action in one mind, so I called the moderator and adjusted the time to attend the event.

"If you want to challenge the 'Hobb Goblin Dungeon' using a character who has reached level 10, please contact the counter for only one hour from now."

"I have to apply first. I came here just in case anyone wants to take a quest with me, but what a piece of cake!!"

People with a level 10 character started running to the counter saying they could get a free Dragon Emblem 2.

"Now, let's really start the Hop Goblin Dungeon event."

Is everyone ready for the first round? "

At the host's question, the users who were sitting at the table nodded. On the white screen hung from the ceiling, all four characters were floating through the quest window 'Dungeon of Hop Goblins'.

"Of course!! Get Started!!"

The first members look at each other briefly, nodding, and pressing the A button at the same time.

Then the wagon on which the players' characters boarded the game screen set out for the Dungeon of Hop Goblins. After the loading screen of the wagon and switching to the first stage of the dungeon, a 'huff' came out of everyone's mouth who was watching the screen.

Even the host who had to host the event cried out in tears at the familiar game screen.

"Ah!!! This is on the screen!! This is!!!!"

The moderator is emotionally stunned and his facial muscles are trembling.

"Simulation RPG format!! Dragon emblem's system was alive!!"

"Whoa!!!!!"

"This one!! I knew it!!"

Whether I felt shy in the shouts of thousands of people, I smiled and stole my nose.

The MMORPG radar system will appear in the next 10 years.

It's not fancy graphics, it's not like parties and giant bosses are swarming, but I've been decorating the dragon emblem bay radar system for my current retro life. Tactics Simulation RPG system that moves a character of its own each turn and fights an enemy...
