Is this the so-called butterfly effect?
Aoki Haruhi didn't believe that the timeline of the entire world would still converge after his rebirth, and while he didn't think he had enough power to influence the entire course of history, some things had indeed been affected.
Otherwise, why would I have been reborn?
Everyone in life must have some meaning, and for a reborn person, changing history is an inevitable destiny.
However, Aoki Haruhi didn't know how wide the scope of these influences would be.
But on second thought, it seems fine.
The predetermined trajectories of Shinji Mikami, Gen Urobuchi, and Maeda Jun's lives were definitely changed by him, so there is no saya no uta or resident evil in this world…
But, correspondingly, many new contents have been born.
For example, The Witcher created by Shinji Mikami.
reverse degree person and Mermaid Heart by Urobuchi Gen… and Quilt Man by Maeda Jun. These are all brand new game that Aoki Haruhi had never seen in his previous life.
But the facts prove that even if history changes, these creative geniuses can still create in their own unique ways, using what they have experienced and learned.
Brand new content, yet the charm remains.
This greatly comforted Aoki Haruhi.
Thinking about it this way, perhaps there won't be a the legend of sword and fairy exactly like the one in his previous life in this world, but Aoki Haruhi believes that with Yao Zhuangxian's ability, creating another the legend of sword and fairy, or a wuxia-style game with a different name, is also an inevitability.
Mmm-hmm.
It should be this way.
Aoki Haruhi didn't think much about it; it was still very early, perhaps in the future.
The rest of the time can be left for time to verify.
However, he had already made up his mind that if there was no the legend of sword and fairy by 1996, he would decide to create a the legend of sword and fairy game for the Chinese market.
This pearl cannot be lost in the unknown river of history; who knows, many important IPs might be born from it, and adapting it into film and television would also be a huge sum of money.
Of course, the most important thing is —
Perhaps this is also the meaning of my rebirth.
To bring those excellent works that should have existed in this world but disappeared for various reasons, and let people see them.
Is there anything more exciting than this?
…
On July 1, 1994, after more than a month, patema inverted successfully broke the one million mark.
The company's employees were all extremely excited.
"Wow, as expected of the game that Famitsu gave a perfect score! The growth momentum is like a rocket, directly breaking through the one million mark."
"Isn't that right? I think this isn't just like a rocket, it's almost superluminal."
"Hahaha, time reversal, right? After exceeding the speed of light, he should go back to the past."
"Then, that's close to the speed of light."
"Well, it only shows that the sales of the patema inverted game are indeed astonishing. This time, this game is very popular with players. Even my nephew, who is still in elementary school, knows about this game," an art girl sighed.
"Did he play it?" asked the boy sitting next to her.
"No, mainly because his parents didn't buy it for him. As soon as they heard we made this game, they kept wanting me to bring it for free."
"Hahaha, this is to be expected, right?"
"No, no, it shouldn't be. You can't always spoil them. Some relatives, though seemingly friendly on the surface, always try to take advantage. This copy of patema inverted is not cheap, it's over 8000 Japanese Yen.
If I start this, won't they come to me for every new game the company releases in the future?
I don't have a small number of relatives, and I won't be able to afford that price then."
"Hmm…"
"Why doesn't the President give us some benefits? He even makes us pay for our own company's game."
"No one has mentioned it to the President. But I think it's better not to have this benefit, really. You don't know how annoying those relatives are who usually don't interact much. It's fine if we don't start this, but once they know we can get company cartridges for free, won't they treat me as an ATM?"
"Hmm… that's true."
Gen Urobuchi listened to the side, stunned, his heart in a panic.
Nani?!
So there are so many tricks in this?
I've already given the game to my relatives.
His first perfect-score game in life naturally made Gen Urobuchi proud, so he didn't need relatives and friends to ask; he himself blabbed about it, almost to the point of being common knowledge, as if he couldn't wait to announce it to the world.
Naturally, this also brought Gen Urobuchi a lot of trouble. The children of his aunts and uncles all loved playing game, and upon hearing that Urobuchi Gen was also the script Author of patema inverted, they became even more excited.
Everyone was very happy. Gen Urobuchi gained face, and the children of relatives and friends received cartridges and happiness.
Everyone has a bright future.
The only slight regret is that—
It's really too expensive.
One cartridge costs over 8000, so 5 cartridges would be 40,000.
Gen Urobuchi's monthly income is only about 300,000.
Emmm… Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like he spent much.
Originally, he didn't feel taken advantage of, but after just hearing the artists' discussion, Gen Urobuchi realized that something indeed seemed a bit off.
"Hey, but I think it might not be good to give employees free cartridges, but after the game is released, it's always possible to give one per person, right? Maybe we ourselves want to experience it?"
"That's a good idea, but the question is, who will go and ask the President?"
"No, no, the President will say, 'Aren't the company's game experience rooms enough? If you are really interested and want to experience the game, you can totally go to the experience room.' "
"Hmm… that seems to make sense."
"Damn it, looking at it this way, could it be that the President thought of this early on and set up the game experience room to save expenses?"
Everyone was indignant about this.
However, Aoki Haruhi's original intention was truly not like this. The original purpose of the experience room was simply to allow the company's employees to experience game.
And in the experience room, all currently released game consoles and corresponding cartridges were purchased, which can be said to be quite luxurious.
Aoki Haruhi's goal is simple: the experience room is equivalent to a university library, a place for employees to learn and improve. If you want to make a good game, you can't not play game, especially you can't just play your own game.
You have to experience more other high-quality game, and then you will know how to do it in the future.
People who write books also need to read books to get inspiration.
Not everyone is Hayao Miyazaki, who can create great works just by going out for inspiration.
This is fully embodied in Miyazaki Hidetaka; this guy is the intern who utilizes the experience room the most and most efficiently in the company.
He can be seen in the experience room almost every day, and even after work, he is the last one to leave.
Sometimes, if he plays too much and doesn't have classes the next morning, Miyazaki Hidetaka will just sleep in the experience room.
For this, Aoki Haruhi also specially set up a few beds next to the experience room.
You can say he is considerate, or you can say he is a capitalist who is not a good person, but in short, for someone like Miyazaki Hidetaka, Aoki Haruhi is simply an angel.
However, when it comes to company benefits, employees don't have much to complain about.
Pokeni is considered a conscience in the industry. Although the work is a bit hard, the President has never forced overtime, and if the project performance is good, there will be bonuses.
If the company continues to expand and income increases well, excellent employees will also get a raise every year.
In a world where the bubble economy has burst, this is simply an anomaly.
"But, where is the President?"
"Isn't he the most excited one at this time?"
"Yes, he was so excited when the company's game got a perfect score, so why isn't he around much when it breaks the million mark?"
"Could it be that the President's appetite is growing, and he no longer cares about such small money?"
"Small money? You're telling me it's small money?!"
…
Ayase Akane also felt a bit strange. Seeing everyone mention Aoki Haruhi, she couldn't help but get up and walk towards the President's office.
She gently knocked on the door, and after getting the reply to enter, Ayase Akane pushed the door open and walked in.
She saw Aoki Haruhi sitting in front of the computer desk, his hands flying, the keyboard clattering.
"President, today is the day patema inverted game sales broke the one million mark. Aren't you going to celebrate?"
"I ordered a cake, it'll be delivered soon. Look outside, Shinji Mikami and Urobuchi are so excited."
"Huh?" Aoki Haruhi looked up slightly, "Okay, I'll come over after I finish writing this part."
"It's just one million, and it's not the company's first million-level game."
Diablo, Pokémon series, and The Witcher have all sold over a million.
The first million game might give one enough excitement, but now Aoki Haruhi has become accustomed to it.
Indeed, one's excitement threshold will get higher and higher.
Tsk tsk.
Ayase Akane pouted, wishing she could knock on the President's head.
The company's situation has just improved, and you're already getting carried away. A President like this won't last long, you know.
But out of curiosity, HR-chan glanced in Aoki Haruhi's direction.
From her angle, she saw the President's computer screen covered in dense code.
"President, are you writing code?" Ayase Akane asked in surprise.
"Uh-huh. I'm writing server architecture," Aoki Haruhi said. "It's not a complete architecture, just a framework that defines protocols and transmits data. The purpose of this is to enable data exchange between different computers in the future."
Eh?
Ayase Akane was stunned for a moment, frowning, "President, can you speak in plain language? I don't understand a single word."
"Heh heh." Aoki Haruhi tilted his head back and laughed.
"You don't need to understand, it's meant for programmers."
HR-chan clutched her chest, feeling a pang of sorrow. It was another day of being ruthlessly struck down by the President.
