Game Market 1983

“But I'm sure you've found an answer that you'll be happy with. ”

“Hmm…? ”

In response, some users in the audience tilted their heads.

In fact, I could have sparked the crisis of a moment by blowing up the performance of the complete raon like Kurakagi, the developer of the gear station, but I didn't want to lie about being discovered in a month.

I straightened my thoughts in my head for a moment, then slowly opened my mouth.

“When developing a game, you should always compromise on the performance of the device that drives the game. In my case, I'm very developmentally driven, and I want to somehow make the game the way I thought it would be, but I often can't because of a number of factors. It was the same for Virtue Idol. ”

“For those of you who are still students, some of you may wish to join our Pentagon, or Mintendo, or NEGA in the future. I was 21 when I joined Mintendo, so it's been exactly 12 years. The most famous game at the time was Super Maridge by Shigeru Kumamoto, you know. If you compare the Super Maridge at the time with the Real Fighter that was launched in the year of manufacture, you'd feel a sense of confusion. How the game market has changed in just 10 years…”

“Apparently, yes.”

“Nothing right now, but even Super Maridge's cross-scrolling system was shocking at the time. ”

“All of a sudden, I bring up the old story and I want Super Maridge to tell me... Should I take out the family when I get home?" ”

I smiled gladly at the shaking users.

“The gaming industry is now in transition from 2D graphics to 3D. Of course, every producer who's making the game has a new approach, and it's going to be hard for you to really like. We are also adapting to a new realm called Polygon. I also dreamed of doing more than the promotional footage I showed you earlier when I was planning my idol. But the performance of the hardware at this time wasn't that difficult to express Morita's fancy character design. Due to be released next month, Complete Raon will be the best performing console in the market. But nevertheless, we also found that the concert performance of idols remained somewhat compromised with the performance of the device. And then, with the suggestion of Uchimura, a figure designer from our Pentagon, idol concerts took off in a new direction. ”

“If it was Uchimura, he wouldn't have made that limited edition figure...”

The first time Uchimura recommended him as a character designer was Maurita.

Around the time RealFighters are released in NEGA and gaining huge popularity in the Game Center. We've been doing a lot of research on polygon technology as well.

Then one day. Morita has asked me to come and say hello to Uchimura and put him under her feet.

“It's a huge loss for the company to keep Uchimura focused on making figures like this. ”

Unlike the usual look of Morita, I looked at him with a blank look, sitting at my desk and rolling a pen in his confident expression.

“Uchimura... as the second development team? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“Hmmm… well, I can consider interpersonal, if you want to, but why the sudden urge? ”

“Because Uchimura is a genius with a completely different perspective than I am. ”

“Genius...? ”

I've been working with Morita for seven years, and it was rare for him to say so much about someone, so I put down the pen that rolled between my fingers.

“Tell me more about Uchimura's skills. ”

Then Morita, hesitant for a moment, bites her lower lip, and opens her mouth as if resolved.

“You know, you've been making figures so far, and you're not very good at stereotyping characters. When Uchimura came to the headquarters a little while ago, he briefed me in staff training, and in a brief brief briefing, he built an awkward airplane. It was like creating a promo del in a virtual space, a monitor, and in just a few days he was able to get ahead of the rest of the staff. Recently, we've completed a gas that almost resembles Macros' Valkyrie alone. ”

Through Mauritania, Uchimura surprised me as well.

“Is that true? ”

Morita nodded to my question and asked me to meet Uchimura separately.

And then a few days later. I met Uchimura separately and handed him an illustration.

After looking at the illustration received from me for a while, Uchimura slightly looked up at me.

“Hasegawa Miyuki in the street without me... It's been a long time since I've made a street series without me, but is the next figure to be made Miyuki? ”

“It was you and I who met because of Miyuki, right? ”

Uchimura smiles, scratching his back head lightly, reminding me of an old memory for a moment.

I smiled at Uchimura's smile and spoke behind his back.

“Like you said, the characters I want to ask you to do this time are Hasegawa Miyuki on the streets where I am not. ”

“Leave it to me. It's been a while, but I'm confident that all the heroes on the street are without me. ”

In Uchimura's reliable answer, I nodded and replied.

“Yes. If you're ever unsure of anything, ask Maurita and let her learn about 3D modeling this time around. ”

“Yes, I understand. This is an opportunity for sure. ”

Looking at the illustration, Uchimu nodded, looking at me dazed to see if he felt anything strange about the conversation.

“Sir, did you just say something? ”

“Take this opportunity to learn more about 3D modeling. ”

“... Are you asking me to make this Hasegawa Miyuki into a polygon character?" ”

In his question, I nodded my head up and down for no reason.

“Eek!!! H-sir. It's a herd. It's a herd. Absolutely not!! ”

“Why? I even got a recommendation that you were the right one...”

My answer was so simple and clear, Uchimu stared at me quietly and jumped.

“Yes? No, that's the difficulty. No one can do that except for you, Morita. I just stepped foot in Low Polygon!? Who the hell recommended me? ”

“The very same Morita that you don't admire nominated you. ”

“Team Leader Morita? ”

“Yes. No one else. He picked you up and talked. If you don't believe me, go ask Maurita yourself. ”

“No, it's... it's...”

“But I'm not forcing you, either. If you're satisfied with what you're doing, and you're that enthusiastic, I can take care of this greeting with something that wasn't on my side. But I'm sure there's a reason Maurita, who's been working with me for so long, came to me personally and recommended you. Isn't that right?”

Uchimura bites his nails, thinking about the bear.

Whenever I focused on something, Uchimu always had a habit of biting his thumbnail.

I leaned on the back of a chair with my arms folded and waited for his reply.

How long has it been?

Uchimura, a tenacious personality, was still biting his nails and adding to his conscience.

"He's gonna eat all my nails..."

I clapped my arms and patted around my forearms and waited for my answer. I finally couldn't bear it, so I stopped talking first.

“Hey, Uchimura. ”

“Yes? Oh, yes...”

“You don't have to be so hard on yourself. If you think about it, Morita recommended you for a reason. Morita told me that you have the ability to see all the characters from an angle. I don't know if this is a good metaphor, but I think Maurita's character illustration is great. I wonder if I'll ever get out of here again. You're a sculptor, Uchimura. ”

“Sculpture?”

“Yes. Based on Mauritania's character illustrations, you're always creating new figures. ”

“That's because Morita's boss painted it in detail from various angles to make it easier for me to work...”

After enduring the rising fever in Uchimura's steady reaction to still being unsure, I took a small sigh and picked up the illustration on the table.

“So you can't do it? ”

“No, that's not it.”

“So you can do it? ”

“I'm sure of that...”

“ · · · · · ·. Are you fucking kidding me? ”

“Oh no! No way."

“Then take it. ”

I gave Miyuki's illustration back to him, and he gave up half his face and got the illustration in my hand.

“Now, get up from your seat. ”

Then Uchimura stood up slowly like a robot responding to my voice.

“Go straight to the second development team where Morita is. Execute.”

“Poetry... done!! ”

Eventually, holding Miyuki's illustration in my hand, I saw Uchimura running toward Fuddak, sighing for a long time and touching his wrinkled forehead.

But in return?

Uchimura gained a lot of traction next to Morita, so he freely extracted the 3D modeling of Hasega and Miyuki a month before entering CES.

In the birth of the bonus mode that will enter the Fullvoice edition of the street without me, there was a hidden narrative. That's why Uchimura was with CES back then.

&

And now.

The second development team, Virgil, as a 3D character designer for Idol, came up with Uchimura's work on the screen.

“Wow! Cute!! ”

“Oh, I see. All characters are represented in SD, replacing them with illustrations in the middle of the show. ”

“Is that how you reduced the overload on your device performance? The Pentagon is full of them... Good choice. ”

Inside the concert hall, you hear an overload of consoles to see if several people in the gaming industry are intermingling.

On the big screen, four second-in-command 3D characters were singing Cheryl's Beating Heart, shaking the transverse stage.

I was impressed with Maurita's vision for recommending Uchimura as a 3D character designer, looking at the satisfied faces of people.

&

The following questions were solved with live footage I just showed you.

It was because the stage where cute characters ran along with luxurious illustrations was satisfying for everyone to see.

When the order of the two parts comes to an end...

I noticed Kaori preparing for the other side of the stage.

After returning home wearing a golden wig on a pure white dress, Kaori glanced at me with a shy expression and held out his tongue. Yuki looks at me and draws a 'V’ with her fingers.

Yuki, who helped put Kaori's tinted makeup and dress on in the waiting room, shouted small fights with a fierce fist toward Kaori.

I waited for the two women to finish preparing and then signaled to the lighting team.

Then the Pentagon staff at a distance slowly dimmed the lights in the concert hall.

He was with me in the first part of the audience, but Hayashi was left alone because of Kaori, who came into the second part and hid himself.

I glanced at Hayashi for a moment, then rolled up one side of my mouth.
