Game Market 1983

The way back from the convenience store with green tea ice cream.

After putting a spoonful of ice cream in her mouth, a smile burst out of her face as if she had a happy smile as if she had the whole world.

“Ah, it's delicious. ”

“Wind blows at midnight, ice cream. Don't you have a cold? ”

“I know, but I can't help pulling on something sweet and cheap these days. ”

The pouting mouth twitches toward her, muttering as I show her the envelope in my hand.

“I was joking, though. I didn't expect to buy 10. ”

I packed up the last one of those convenience store refrigerators, so if there was more, maybe 30 of them...

“Isn't this a barbershop? ”

“Well... were you greedy? ”

Touching Yuki's head with an embarrassing expression, we slowly walked to the mansion. The cherry blossom leaves that were scattered under the white streetlight stuck to her hair, but even that soon got along well with Yuki like an accessory.

“Is it good?”

“Yes.”

After seeing Yuki's strong nodding face with a spoon in his mouth, I couldn't even say a word.

“But Joon-Hyuk. Just out of curiosity, what does the title of this piece mean? ”

“God's gift? ”

Yuki looked up at me with curious eyes. I hesitated for a moment to answer her question.

“As I was thinking about the story, I wondered what would happen if the heroine's earnest prayers reached God's ears. ”

“A desperate prayer, romantic. ”

“The story of God's gift. Doesn't that sound familiar? ”

“Well, a little bit, actually. I'm sure it's a new feeling, but is the content deployment so familiar? Do you have any motive for that? ”

“Of course I do. It's a very famous piece, too. You probably don't know it. ”

“Really? What is it? ”

I spun my horse around for the fun of driving Yuki's love soy sauce until I got another back-smashing.

I heard that little dick is spicy, and I can feel how spicy that little palm feels.

In the meantime, I was glad that I didn't get hit on the cheek with that hand.

“Mermaid Princess. ”

“Mermaid master?”

“Yes."

I still scratch the middle of my itchy back and grin at her.

“I sacrificed myself for my beloved prince, but he doesn't know mermaids. And eventually you marry the princess of your neighbor.”

“Ah… what if I make the wrong choice in this story…? ”

“Well, it could lead to the wrong kind of hero, right? ”

“Oh, this is just too much. Well, it's less impactful than I thought. ”

She quickly emptied a cup of ice cream and pushed the paper cup into the trash can on the way over. However, after discarding the cup, she still had a brown plastic spoon in her right hand.

“Huh? Why don't you throw away the spoon? ”

“I just want one more. ”

Shhh!! Her hands reach towards the plastic bag like a predator aiming for food, and I quickly pull back the bag containing ice cream.

As she cut through the air with her spontaneous car, she made a sad face.

“Huh?"

“Let's start with the scenario, shall we? You had ice cream like we promised. ”

“Tsk, got it. ”

She unleashed a rather plausible and fun idea with her mouth-watering plastic spoon.

And after a while. When I heard about the new scenario from Yuki, I looked at her without even knowing it.

“How's that? Not bad, huh? ”

Is that why they say it's better if you get hit?

Yuki's idea made me feel that the story structure and character settings that almost loosened me up were much more detailed.

“Not bad, huh?"

“Of course, because I'm a seventh year broadcaster. ”

Yuki, who was drawing a V with her finger towards me, was dazed and quietly approached me as I was preparing the scenario in my head. And the moment she reached out to the envelope with ice cream in it,

I pull the envelope back once more and take a step back.

“Not today. You must really have a cold. ”

“That's lethal. You promised me ice cream if I told you everything. ”

“The bad guys in the movie make all the information come out and pull the trigger. ”

“Ugh...”

“Consider it my gratitude for your health. ”

“Well, it's a little cold now. ”

Whether she eventually gave up on taking the ice cream from me, she began walking slowly, holding my arm tightly.

After the basic story and character setup, the "Gift of God" project began to develop rapidly.

The 'Gift of God’ was a visual Noble format that seemed to read novels with beautiful music rather than a simulated element that schedules to connect with someone like a street without me and makes love based on the results.

Thanks to you, I was able to enjoy the story as comfortably as a book if I just gave you a simple branch choice.

I chose this relaxed system because I wanted to create a game that people using Raon could enjoy comfortably during the train journey because they use a lot of public transportation.

Before starting the chapter, the game started by playing the main song of the scenario, and if there was anything unique about it, depending on the piano's clearance rating, it was able to recall the scenario's clue that occurred in the chapter, just before the traffic accident.

Thanks to this, Hayashi joined the composer Ueno to challenge the first genre of rhythm games in the gaming industry.

Of course, the framework of the basic game has borrowed the form of rhythm games that I was aware of.

When the game screen was split in half and the dot block pouring down from above entered within a constant timing line, it was able to combine notes like playing a piano.

And if you don't miss consecutive notes, a combo occurs. Depending on the score connecting the combos, fragments of the memory were played like a music video before the traffic accident on the right side of the screen.

The first rhythm game, 'Gift of God’, was a form of progression that drew the protagonist's memory through this video and the chapter event after it was cleared, approaching the true story.

With the setting that music allowed him to enjoy the story of the game, the composer Ueno poured all his passion into his work.

There are six chapters to the game.

However, if you enter the car twice after the end, a new scenario will open and you will be able to play a new song accordingly. Thanks to this, Ueno had to compose a total of 12 main songs and up to the basic BGM during the production period.

In the case of BGM, he said he could leave it on the outside, but he insisted that he didn't want to hurt the overall image of the game, so he decided to leave the sound to him.

After solving the systemic part with sound, all that was left was a character illustration that could be said to be an important component of the game.

And this is a lyrical story game that seems to be playing right here. It is a game of music. It is a game of 'God's Gift’. It is a game of setting up a terrible character.

"Maybe Yuki's a better storyteller than I am. Even in the streets without me, Nanase's sales finally beat Miyuki's... or did Yuki's marriage affect her sales volume? ’

Yuki was in charge of the storm on the 'streets without me’ that spread to social phenomena, and everyone who was there found out at the announcement event at the Psychic Force. However, after the propose incident, gamers seemed to have been greatly shocked.

And that reflection had an enormous impact on the amount of street sales I didn't have.

Suddenly, the second hand market started to overflow with cartridges in Miyuki scenarios on the streets that I was not in, and the volume of sales decreased dramatically in new products as well.

But the gamers of this age are still good. Among the future events that I knew, there was no good reason to burn a comic book or tear an erection and send it to the publisher for "virgin" controversy.

“For now, I drew four heroes according to your settings. ”

I took a look at the Heroic set-up I received from Morita.

The first is a beautiful, half-blonde violinist. Yukinozo Kaori.

An active and vibrant personality, she is the absolute voice owner who first noticed the protagonist's genius as a friend since childhood.

The second is a world-class pianist who is responsible for the main piano lessons. Satsuki Noriko.

Her calm personality was a character who was likely to gain absolute popularity at a certain age due to the unique maturity she felt in adults.

The third is behind the main university, cellist Otani Haruka.

I'm always shy in front of the main character, but I'm as good as a cello. She also felt like she would receive absolute support from an age group opposed to Satsuki Noriko.

And lastly, with the protagonist and Kaori, Lee and Ray, childhood childhood childhood friends.

Like the protagonist, she is one of the hidden talents who cannot be hidden from the protagonist's light.

I started the piano before the protagonist, but I was a hard-working character who tried hard to stay ahead of his natural skills.

Her slightly weak-looking appearance seemed sufficient to stimulate a man's protective instincts.

So two comrades and one associate, Yeon-ha.

I was amazed at the character design that was so perfectly woven that I could call it four-colour.

“Okay, we're good to go. ”

“Glad you like it. ”

Maurita sighed for a long time, whether she had let out my OK sign.

A few days later, a poster of the back of four heroes began to appear throughout the game store in Akihabara.

- Another story begins in the streets you remember. -

Gamers remembering the advertising flyers of the masterpiece 'Street Without Me’ began to show tremendous interest in new game posters that suddenly appeared.

“What is this? Could it be the sequel to the street without me!? ”

“Oops!! If you look at this metaphor and promotional phrase, it's a follow-up. ”

Gamers strolling the streets of Akihabara in the back of four heroes standing side by side in front of the Tamago Shop began to gather one by one in front of the store.

I swallowed a relaxing cup of coffee while looking at those who were looking at the posters with curious eyes.

‘What will those curious faces look like when they finish the game? ’

When I thought about it, I remembered the day I came back with Yuki for ice cream.

At that time, Yuki offered me a new scenario.

What if... the protagonist's accident was a deliberate car accident caused by someone? And how would Joon-Hyuk feel if he was one of the four heroes? ’
