Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

The four files were named "CF", "PUBG", "League of Legends", and "Plants vs. Zombies", respectively, and the folder was labeled "Remaining Points".

Then Tsuchimikado Fuyu opened the "Plants vs. Zombies" file, which contained the game's design from his previous life.

Of course, he didn't receive any system-given or sold any of these four games, nor was he the kind of genius who could know all the data and design of a game just by playing it.

He simply introduced the four games in his own words, summarized the gameplay based on his knowledge, and explained how to play and what the core gameplay was.

For example, the Plants vs. Zombies game begins by saying, "This is a game about humans fighting zombies by growing different types of plants."

Next, it introduces what the game map looks like, how to play, what kinds of plants there are, what abilities these plants have, what kinds of zombies there are, and what abilities each zombie has.

As for the remaining maps, and the types of plants and zombies, that was discussed with everyone after it was decided that we would make this game.

Specific numerical values ​​should be left to professionals. At most, he can act as a game tester, judging the differences between this game and his previous one based on his own experience playing it.

Those who feel their previous life was better than their previous life should be kept; those who felt it was worse than their previous life should be modified.

Kobayashi and Takiya looked at Tsuchimikado Fuyu's game planner very seriously, their expressions changing slightly.

“Kobayashi, I think…” Takiya Shin was about to say something when Kobayashi stopped him, “Let’s take another look at the remaining ones.”

Then Kobayashi opened the remaining games, and the two of them immediately lit up and started discussing them.

"What does MOBA game mean? 5V5 real-time battle? And the heroes are free, can this make money?"

"The skins here can be sold for money, but if they don't add any stats? They probably won't sell."

"Xiaolin, you're too naive. For otaku, a skin that lets them look cool in the game is enough for them to spend money on."

"And this CF, with its Biohazard mode and Demolition mode, is simply unheard of."

"That's true too. Although it's also a shooting game, the gameplay of one out of a hundred people surviving is really groundbreaking."

"..."

Chapter 404 Bet

"What do you think of these four plans? Are they feasible?" After a long while, Kobayashi and Takiya Makoto looked up at Tsuchimikado Fuyu and asked.

"It's really impressive. As long as the quality improves, it's bound to be a hit," Takiya Makoto nodded and said.

"However, making a game is not something you can do just by having a planner. You can certainly hire staff, but there are two very important issues."

First, there's the issue of funding. Apart from Plants vs. Zombies, the other three games would be absolutely impossible to make without a large amount of funding.

"Secondly, these plans are incomplete. Although the ideas are good, they are not enough to make a game," Kobayashi continued.

“That’s right.” Takiya Makoto nodded in agreement.

"Xiaolin, Xiaodong, are you short of money? If it's urgent, I can go home and get some treasure to exchange for money," Thor suddenly said.

"Thor, no need for now, thank you." Tsuchimikado Tou said with a smile. He knew that Thor and her father's relationship was not very harmonious at the moment, and if Thor went back, her father would likely keep her there.

"The funding problem is indeed difficult to solve, but I can provide some initial funding, and then we can start with low-budget games. Besides Plants vs. Zombies, I have quite a few other ideas for low-budget games like this."

In this way, we can not only make more money through these games, but also gain fame. With enough funds, we can then develop games like CrossFire and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

As for game design, as long as my core idea is complete, the rest can be discussed and agreed upon by everyone; it just takes a little more time.

“But you’re just saying you have a lot of ideas. Nobody can guarantee that your next idea will be as good as Plants vs. Zombies,” Kobayashi said.

Hearing Kobayashi's words, Tsuchimikado Fuyu smiled. "Then, cousin, how about we make a bet?"

"What kind of bet?"

"I'll write a few more low-budget game ideas next. Let's bet on whether these ideas will satisfy you. If they do, then I win, and we'll start a game company to make games."

If I can't satisfy you, then I admit defeat, and pretend I never said any of this.

Kobayashi and Takiya Makoto fell silent for a moment, then exchanged a glance, nodded, and said, "Okay, but we need at least three ideas."

yes!

Tsuchimikado Fuyu shouted in his heart, "The reason I said so much is to get Kobayashi and the others to agree to the bet with me."

Although he didn't really understand game design, he had played a lot of games in his previous life, so he could still manage to write down the main ideas.

"Are you going to start writing now?" Kobayashi asked, frowning, as he saw Tsuchimikado Fuyu pick up the computer and start typing.

To him, Tsuchimikado Fuyu's reaction seemed a bit too eager for quick success.

"Don't worry, I've already thought of these ideas. The ones you just saw were written by me yesterday."

Kobayashi and Takiya looked curiously at Tsuchimikado Fuyu's computer screen, and soon three documents named "Don't Starve," "Minecraft," and "Angry Birds" appeared in front of them.

Kobayashi and Takiya Makoto exchanged a surprised glance, completely unable to believe that this was something Tsuchimikado Fuyu had written on the spot.

Moreover, of these three games, apart from Don't Starve, which wasn't explained in great detail by Tsuchimikado, Minecraft and Angry Birds are very simple and easy to understand. Once the core concept of these two games is determined, game development becomes much simpler.

In fact, besides the fact that these three games are classics, another characteristic of Tsuchimikado Fuyu is that they are not complicated.

After all, Tsuchimikado Fuyu couldn't write the design for overly complex games, and while he really wanted to make some story-driven games that were considered masterpieces, as he said before, although he had played them, he couldn't write the design.

However, these few games are already enough for Xiaolin and his team to work on. After completing these games, they can start working on games like CF.

"Let me think about it." Kobayashi was silent for a moment, not immediately agreeing to Tsuchimikado Fuyu's words.

After all, she's past the age of impulsiveness, and her first thought in everything she does is stability, especially after Thor and Connor were born. If the family's income is unstable, supporting them will become a problem.

“I can do that, and I know quite a few friends who make doujin games. If I’m sure I want to do it, I can try to find them,” Takiya Makoto said.

Although he also kept a dragon at home, Fafnir was much easier to take care of than Thor and the others. As long as he could play games, he didn't even need to find a place for it to sleep.

In addition, his games sell a lot of money at each comic convention, so he has enough savings. Even if he has no income for a while, he can make sure he won't suffer financial difficulties for up to six months.

Of course, during this period he didn't have any extra money to buy things like games, light novels, comics, and figurines.

Seeing that things were going well, Tsuchimikado Fuyu quickly continued, "Cousin, don't you often complain about how hard your work is, how your supervisor always exploits you, and how your health is getting worse and worse?"

"Since that's the case, what are you still doing at that company? Why don't you join us and create your own company? That way, you can oversee everything, and you can delegate most of the basic work to your subordinates. That way, you won't be too tired, and it'll be better for your health."

“That’s right, that’s right, Kobayashi, you’ve really worked too hard. I agree with what Xiaodong said. If the family is really short of money, I can go home and get the treasure, or borrow some from Fafnir,” Thor agreed.

It has to be said that Tsuchimikado Fuyu's reasoning convinced Kobayashi. If it would make things easier for him and the company would have a bright future, agreeing to Tsuchimikado Fuyu's suggestion would be the best choice.

However, Kobayashi did not agree immediately, wanting to think about it some more.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't continue to persuade her, but as she left, she quietly said a few words to Tohru, telling her to go back and talk to Kobayashi. At the very least, she could make things easier for Kobayashi and prevent her from being so tired.

Tohru readily agreed, patting her chest and promising to persuade Kobayashi, while also asking Tsuchimikado Fuyu again whether she wanted the money.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu smiled and declined Tohru's offer. If the company focused on low-budget games in the early stages, his money would be enough to keep the company running.

After all, with the current sales of "Battle Through the Heavens", his income over the past two months could reach 90 million or even 100 million yen, which is equivalent to more than 6 million RMB and nearly 1 million USD.

Although it may not seem like a lot, it's definitely enough to develop these few games, and there might even be some left over for promotional purposes.

Chapter 405 Event Settlement

The party didn't go on too late. Around seven or eight o'clock, everyone started to say goodbye, except for Black Cat, who stayed behind.

"Hey."

"?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked at the black cat curiously. Was there something else she wanted to say?

Are you holding a fan meeting tomorrow?

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

“Give me an invitation,” the black cat said.

"An invitation?" Tsuchimikado Tou looked at the black cat with a puzzled expression. Why was she interested in his fan meeting? Could it be that she really was a fan of Battle Through the Heavens?

"I didn't manage to get an invitation the other day, so I'm asking you for one."

Originally, the editorial team thought that anyone who came could participate in the fan meeting, but when they conducted a survey to count the number of fans of Battle Through the Heavens, they found that they had underestimated the number of fans of Battle Through the Heavens.

Even if we disregard the fact that all the people we've counted come, and only half of them do, the hall they prepared wouldn't be able to hold that many people.

Therefore, the editorial department had to temporarily change the requirements for the meet-and-greet, which was to distribute invitations randomly. Unfortunately, Black Cat was unlucky and did not receive an invitation.

"Let me look for the invitations, I think I still have a few," Tsuchimikado Tou said helplessly. "But I'm the author right here in front of you, you can talk to me however you want, why bother going to a fan meeting?"

"Can't we just see what the legendary fan meeting is like?" Black Cat said calmly.

“Sure, why not?” Tsuchimikado Fuyu nodded, but inwardly he glanced at the black cat speechlessly. If your face weren’t red, I might actually believe you.

After sending the black cat away and closing the door, Tsuchimikado Fuyu immediately took out his phone excitedly, opened the Onmyoji game, and checked his rewards from the event.

Although the anime convention ended two days ago, the rewards for the "Summer Festival Anime Convention" event were only settled this afternoon.

This timing coincides with the time when the Conquerors Alliance's official website finished releasing all the photos from the anime convention, leading Tsuchimikado Fuyu to speculate that these photos were the basis for the event's settlement.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu's guess was indeed correct. If he really counted the number of photos of him and the shikigami on the official website, plus the number of new members they invited, and calculated according to the event points, it would be a perfect match.

"Ding, the Summer Festival Comic Con event has ended. The player has earned a total of 165300 points."

Seeing the number of points, Tsuchimikado Fuyu was somewhat dissatisfied, because all the points combined were not enough to buy all the limited-purchase items, let alone Tsuchimikado Fuyu's expectation of getting a six-star R-rank shikigami.

After checking the points mall, Tsuchimikado Fuyu started calculating how to maximize the use of his points.

But putting everything else aside, we definitely can't let go of those fifteen talismans.

As for two-star white cards, we can leave them aside for now, especially two-star SSR white cards.

While SSR white cards are good and rare, upgrading them from two to three stars doesn't offer a significant improvement. If you don't have enough points, Tsuchimikado Fuyu will definitely choose to temporarily give up on them.

Then there are five two-star SR-level white cards. Adding those left over from before, there are a total of six SR white cards, enough to upgrade three two-star SR shikigami to three stars.

Not to mention that Tsuchimikado Fuyu will be summoning shikigami next, and he may draw more two-star SR-level white cards, and maybe even upgrade a three-star shikigami to four stars.

Next, Tsuchimikado Fuyu hesitated a bit. After buying these things, Tsuchimikado Fuyu still had 109300 points left.

If you want to buy two two-star SSR white cards, you can only buy nine R-level white cards with the remaining points, and at most upgrade one three-star R-level shikigami to four stars. Don't even think about anything else.

If you buy all R-rank shikigami, you'll need 359 two-star R-rank white cards to create one six-star shikigami, which still doesn't give you enough points.

After hesitating for a moment, Tsuchimikado Fuyu decided to hold off on buying for now, try his luck with the gacha pulls, and then think about the issue again.

Including the unused talismans from last time, Tsuchimikado Fuyuki now has a total of 12 broken talismans and 8 mysterious talismans.

As is customary, we first draw a broken talisman to boost our luck.

When Tsuchimikado Fuyu arrived in the courtyard, everyone gathered around upon hearing the news that he was going to summon a new shikigami.

Speaking of which, it's been a long time since Tsuchimikado Fuyu summoned a new shikigami. The last time he summoned Higanbana was three weeks ago.

Moreover, everyone became even more curious when they heard that there would be a lot of summons this time.
