Chapter 34   : Case by Case (2)

At an Udon house near our company…

Mr . Shige and I were moistening our mouths with the warm water that was served to us .

It was a small restaurant; as I looked around at the antiquated interior, I spotted the portraits of 3 men hanging on one of the walls .

This seems like a family owned Udon house operating through 3 generations, I’m looking forward to the taste . At that moment, Mr . Shige asked me .

“But have you tried contacting yet?”

“Mmm? Contact who?”

“Woosh… you work-aholic… I’m talking about Miss Yuki . Miss Yuki!!!”

“Ahh…”

“Ahh…? You haven’t contacted her yet, right?”

“Yes, I had no opport“Ah~!! Mr . Junhyuk~ Hello . ”

“Yes, well I was busy with work so I couldn’t call sooner . ”

“So that was the case… I thought you had forgotten about me because I haven’t heard from you . ”

“N…No, I haven’t forgotten at all . It was a bit awkward for me to call a number that I’d been abruptly given…”

“It also took me an immense amount of courage to give you my number that time!?”

“Sorry . I’ll make up for it by treating you to a meal the next time I’m in Tokyo . ”

“When are you coming?”

The average Japanese would say ‘It’s fine~ You don’t have to’ as a response, but she’s unexpectedly cutting right to the chase with her question .

Coincidentally, I had business at Pentagon Soft in regards to the sequel for Final Frontier . I promised to contact her before coming to Tokyo and was finally able to put down the receiver .

“Ah… this really is… I’m still having trouble speaking to girls after being transported to 1983… I had no trouble speaking with company employees… How strange…”

I let out a small sigh and turned the power button on the computer .

Beep~ Dipiriri~

A computer in this period was very entertaining . It was awkward for me at first to use the prompt system instead of Windows at first, but I was completely familiar with it now .

Inputting a command in the prompt, I brought up my current code and fell into a brief stupor .

The sequel scenario for Dragon Emblem had already been thought up of before its release so it was transplanted without any hiccups . And recently, I’ve been developing another game .

The genre for this should be… a massive scale shooting war action? This was what I had in mind for now .

I made Dragon Emblem, but since my name wasn’t associated with that, I’ve decided to publish this project under Mintendo’s license while using my name .

—

A few days later . In the conference room of the Mintendo headquarters, a presentation about a new game in development was shown . Aside from the Mintendo employees, there were even a few reporters from the FamiTong magazine .

The first presentation was Mr . Shige’s Super Marigee 3 .

The background design for the game was exhibiting a unique animation and looked just like a play in a theater using the Dan man pole’s curtain call .

Especially for the appearance of Super Marigee, who was introduced with a raccoon’s tail, inspired by the Udon meal we had, the people gathered in the conference room were chatting about its cuteness .

The raccoon Marigee was able to traverse high up into the sky after spamming the jump button when the character is running at a certain speed . As this scene was shown, everyone chuckled at the scene of Marigee flying through the air .

Mr . Shige added that he used this element to implement various scenarios in the different stages where hidden routes were there which made it possible to skip stages or get one’s hands on rare items,

‘The latest Marigee series is pouring out the foundation that would serve as the signature feature for the Marigee series here… A tree leaf that allows one to transform into a tree lead, or different pathways that are hidden in each stage…”

Finally, with the feat of Marigee turning into a buddha statue from a racoon, Mr . Shige ended his presentation .

“Good~!! Very good . Yes, something like this is Super Marigee~!! Shige, you finally woke up from your stupor . ”

President Yamauchi clapped like a maniac walrus with a pleased expression . Mr . Gunpei, who was mediating the conference had to calm the atmosphere down before introducing the next game . The next game was a game that was pulling huge popularity in arcades Family’s Hondurai model, and Double Dragon was introduced . ”

Both were able to support 2 players, and since it was a title that was pulling massive popularity in arcades, the atmosphere in the conference room was getting heated by the moment . At that instant, FamiTong reporter Junpei asked Mr . Gunpei .

“Do you know when the new mobile game console would be released, that was announced at the event of the Legend of Karin’s release? And the price!?”

Mr . Gunpei responded with a tentative face .

“We are inspecting the situation for this year’s Christmas season . Given the high expectations of our players, our Mintendo is doing the best we can do to control the price, but a set price has not been determined yet . We would be able to convey some accurate information in about a month . ”

“Woahhh!!!”

“Then we will end this new project conference with this next title . The director for this game has made me very anticipating . Like everyone knows, he proposed the duck hunt idea, and along with Mr . Shigeru, this is the black horse of our Mintendo, introducing our secret developer, Mr . Kang Junhyuk . ”
