Game Market 1983

< EP. 38: Shining Star. (1) >

- Featured article: Director Kang Jun-hyuk of God's gift. - Who is he?

Junpei Ishimoto.

Before going into the story of the gift of God in its entirety, I want to focus on a little incident that happened in the spring of 1987.

If you have played family games at the time, you will remember one game that wandered around like a urban legend among users.

Yes, the Dragon Emblem.

Everyone would be the Dragon Warrior and the Final Frontier if they were Japan's current dual-decker RPG game. However, if you name one more title after the other, you will not hesitate to choose the Dragon Emblem.

Of course, dragon emblems may not be the traditional RPG genre, so they are a huge contribution to the current game market.

Compared to the Dragon Warriors and Final Frontier series already released in chapters 5 and 6, Dragon Emblems are confident that they will be able to experience a whole new world that is completely different from the original game, except for the remake.

After all, if you are an avid fan of the Pentagon games, if you add some details here, let's leave the Dragon Emblem story out of this, as it will be a cliché for each other. (In fact, even a dragon emblem column can be drawn for more than five pages, but if it were, the arrow of blame would surely fly to the readers who bought the magazine wanting to know about God's gift. I can tell by the handwriting.)

However, it wasn't the 'Dragon Emblem’ series that really made Jun-hyuk Kang stand out in the gaming industry.

Readers would have noticed it at once, but the work that led to Kang Jun-hyuk's current director... and Pentagon Soft as the best game maker was the appearance of 'The Street Without Me’.

Literally, this piece, which took all the modifiers "Thought Colony," caused an enormous surge of excitement that even people who didn't know anything about the game were somewhat aware of the story.

Not only the game, but also the OVA, which was a huge success with the animation, has melted down many amazing systems that had never been tried before in the game history.

A performance that deliberately destroys game graphics.

A unique way of selling games with the same title, sold separately by heroes.

And because of the tragic development of stories that are not commonly seen in movies or dramas, this game, which has caused a lot of social hedging, has become a title that will forever be remembered in the minds of all citizens as well as gamers.

Here, dragon emblem and the distance without me have one thing in common.

There will be readers who will look to see if there is anything in common in this genre that has absolutely nothing to do with it. But this work has a certain resemblance.

That is, both works are games created by Director Kang Jun-hyuk who hides his existence.

Until we realized that these two works were actually made by him, we knew that Kang Jun-hyuk's work was only one "Psychic Battle."

At the end of the family, the comet-like Psychic Battle was the first to incorporate the code ‘sexy’ into the game, along with an enormous tantrum that surpassed the family's specs.

This work is also later developed into an arcade game called 'Psychic Force’ and has still cultivated many battle teams, so Kang Jun-hyuk's skills as a director are already an icon of trust.

In addition, based on his career as the development team leader of the super family, 'Raon’ has become the most powerful portable gaming machine of our time.

As the next generation of machines, such as the NEGA Saturn and the Gear Station, Raon is silently guarding his position as a mobile device.

Last year, CEO Kang Jun-hyuk announced a new series of Dragon Emblems that leveraged the next generation of 'Complete Raon' projects and a full-boy version of the streets that I am not.

In the meantime, some gamers expressed anxiety about releasing a new console about Raon recently, but he is currently the director of Pentagon Soft, who confidently discusses that he will never be disappointed in what he is concerned about.

‘Raon will do everything he can as a mobile device, even if it is the next generation of mechanisms. Spa 2 and the Legend of the New Sword. And I don't want to overlook that, because the time and place shown on the Dragon Emblem, the cooperative mode is an attractive element that can't be seen through. ’

This is the answer he gave when he interviewed Director Kang Jun-hyuk about Raon in person.

As a professional director, he was already aware of what the user was worried about, and I doubt that even if the next generation of mechanisms were released, he would stay in place as a top performing mobile device.

In addition, Kang Jun-hyuk, director, says that the next generation and the portable Raon can see the ‘harmonizing effect’ when they have both at the same time.

Now, after I finish my long introduction, I'm going to give you an in-depth review of God's Gift.

Simply put, the game has shown the most beautiful prologue in the history of gaming.

Immediately after playing even the handwriting you don't know about classics. I bought Chopin's Knockton myself from a record store nearby. Are you sure you want to do this?

God's gift is a piece of work that broadens the realm of player knowledge while also showing other possibilities of the game by showing the lives of classical songs and pianists that we do not know as well.

Is it the latest gift from God? I almost burst into laughter without even noticing that the classical music appearing in God's gift at the record store was causing a shortage of supplies.

I am very proud as a "gaming journalist" that the game that solved everything by simply firing a missile at the enemy is so close to the public.

The gift of God is not only the protagonist, but also the four heroes, who work with each instrument in a variety of ways to influence the likelihood of working with the protagonist, and what is unique is that the narrative branches the scenario.

Since it contains spoilers for the game, if you don't want to know the story in advance, I recommend clearing the story and watching it later.

I also looked at the illustrations provided by the heroes before the game was released and thought of a relationship such as' street without me ’or‘ biceps memorial ’.

But... after two endings before I wrote the review, the honest impression of the author...

The game is close to ‘Thriller’ water.

Especially since her betrayal of the top voter before the launch feels so terrifying...

Can loving someone make someone so cruel?

As I got closer to the latter part of the game, a movie came to my mind, which was the 'jerk’ who had locked up a novelist in his house and forced her to write.

A protagonist's life ruined by one person's madness.

It started with an unidentified effect that sounded intermittent throughout the game.

After the issuance of God's gift. The sound that the communication community was talking about was not heard at the time of the first play, but it was definitely heard when the second play took place.

And now the sound is clearer in the third story.

I felt that creepy feeling when I first realized what that sound meant, and I grabbed the pad and I trembled.

- The killer is Yukinozo Kaori. -

The memory of the protagonist as he played in the game... felt that the culprit of every incident was directed at her.

Every time I did that, I shook my head and repeated, "No, I don't think so." But...

The more I went through another recall event, the more I felt my deep trust in her was shattered.

Please tell me that's not it. Play third round. So, until now, after the third iteration of the year, all events concerning Yukinozo Kaori have tied her to the culprit.

Dual Personality

Or should I say a person like her is multi-personality?

At least one comfort was that when I asked Kang Jun-hyuk, director, if she was the culprit, he just smiled calmly and said that he would know if I could play a secret cooperation that I could play if I got an S rating on all the songs. (Honestly, I wanted to hear his answer and throw Raon in his face for you to try.)

Unfortunately, no one in charge of attacking Fame Communications has completed all plays with an S grade.

If any of the readers who are watching this post have cleared all songs to S rank, please contact Pammy Communications Editor right away.

And I need you to tell me something...

Yukinozo Kaori is not the culprit...

&

“How's that? Isn't that fun? ”

I waited for her at a nearby cafe until the end of Mayumi's part time, returning Nakamura's magazine.

“The person who wrote this review is very fond of Kaori. ”

“Of course. It's a huge topic in the online community... ‘Don't be fooled. X years.’ I...”

I smiled and answered Nakamura's words.

“Don't worry. It's not her.”

“Yes…? What?”

“She's not the killer. ”

“How do you know that? ”

“Because I cleared it to All S rank. ”
