Tokyo: The story begins with a confession.

Page 169

We need to develop a game specifically for women.

But as for how to do this project, to be honest, Kenichi Uesugi has only just had an idea yet; he hasn't put it into practice.

I need to go to the company, discuss it with them, and hear everyone's opinions.

Now, Kenichi Uesugi is feeling a bit tired.

He went to sleep first.

I'm so tired, I should go to sleep first. Besides, tomorrow isn't the weekend, he has to go to school tomorrow and can't go to the company until the weekend.

However, in Uesugi Kenichi's heart, there was a direction.

Nowadays, women are attracted to virtual dating games because there are so few perfect and outstanding men, but they still have fantasies.

Who says women don't play games?

Kenichi Uesugi believed that as long as the game was made perfect enough, it would definitely attract a segment of women to play it.

Women are generally less interested in games.

If we can get these women who don't play games at all to become female gamers, then that would be another resource.

Kenichi Uesugi's goal is to attract as many people as possible to play the games created by his company.

The next day, Kenichi Uesugi went to class again.

After class, Kenichi Uesugi didn't study this time, but instead focused his energy on developing a new game.

He uses a computer, paper, and his mobile phone.

Everything is available.

Kenichi Uesugi was taking notes. He had just searched on Baidu to see what games had been developed specifically for female players.

Upon searching, Uesugi Kenichi found that it was indeed available.

It's not that it doesn't exist.

But none of them seem to be wildly popular; they're more of a niche market that makes money.

Kenichi Uesugi was thinking that he should use his status to cultivate his female fans.

He draws them into his game, making them players in it.

Just then, while Uesugi Kenichi was busy, Ram and Rem came in. As soon as he saw them, Uesugi Kenichi immediately became interested.

"Ram, Rem, you've come at the perfect time."

Upon hearing this, Ram was taken aback and looked at Uesugi Kenichi with a puzzled expression, asking.

"what happened?"

Kenichi Uesugi said to them.

Do you like playing games?

Upon seeing this, Ram and Rem were taken aback. After they arrived, they moved some stools over and sat down. Ram replied.

"I don't like it, I've hardly ever played 790."

Seeing that the two of them really weren't playing games, Uesugi Kenichi asked a question out of curiosity.

"why?"

Ram looked at him and answered.

"There's nothing fun about them. I find those games so boring, don't you think? They're all about leveling up and cultivating, but what's the point? Do they help me in real life?"

Seeing this, Uesugi Kenichi was both amused and exasperated.

Because women are not more enthusiastic about cultivation and leveling up than men, what men might find interesting about cultivation and leveling up might seem uninteresting to women.

Kenichi Uesugi asked.

"What if it's not about cultivating immortality and leveling up? I'd like to develop a game for female players, something like a role-playing game where you can fall in love, like the kind of storyline in novels."

Ram was surprised to hear this.

Because she doesn't play games, but she does read novels from time to time, mainly because she has nothing else to do to pass the time.

Ram immediately replied.

"Your idea is good, but I don't know what the actual effect will be. We'll have to see how it turns out before we can say anything."

Seeing her obvious interest, Uesugi Kenichi was very pleased with his idea.

"Whatever interests you is fine."

Chapter 300 Company Meetings

On the weekend, the regular employees went on holiday as usual, except for a few key members gathered by Uesugi Kenichi who came to the company for a meeting.

I don't have to go to work today; I'm just here for a meeting.

Actually, the meeting could be held anywhere, but there has to be a place, and it's impossible to hold it at someone's house.

Therefore, it's best to stay at the company in the end.

It looks formal.

Kenichi Uesugi looked at the group of people gathered around a long round table. He sat there and spoke calmly to them.

"I've gathered you all here today because I've come up with a new project. But developing a project is a big deal, not a small one. So, I have inspiration and ideas, but I still need to discuss the specifics with you all."

Everyone listened without saying a word.

Normally, Kenichi Uesugi is busy with his studies and rarely comes to the company. It is the company's employees who run the company.

Kenichi Uesugi looked at them and said.

"Currently, the games the company operates are all competitive games, which are all aimed at male players. Have you ever thought about developing a game for female players?"

Upon listening, it's obvious that Kenichi Uesugi's idea and creativity are completely unique in the world.

At least for those present, it was the first time they had ever heard of it.

Akane Akasaka, as the Chief Operating Officer, has her own independent ideas and the ability to manage everything.

Akane Kousaka didn't quite understand the kind of project that Kenichi Uesugi was talking about.

He instinctively rejected it.

"That's impossible. First of all, it's common knowledge that female players don't like playing games. You're not focusing your energy on competing for male players, but instead trying to attract female players? That's impossible. If someone doesn't like playing games, it's very difficult for you to attract her."

Uesugi Kenichi listened to Akane Kousaka's words.

He understood Akane Kousaka's feelings, and Kenichi Uesugi looked at him and explained calmly.

"It's common knowledge that female gamers don't like playing games, but I also believe it's common knowledge that women love reading novels."

Upon hearing this, Akane Akane was taken aback.

He seemed to understand what Uesugi Kenichi was trying to say, but upon further reflection, he still didn't quite grasp it.

Akane Akasaka remained silent, listening to what Kenichi Uesugi had to say.

Kenichi Uesugi said.

“We can make the game genre like a novel, with the plot following the novel’s plot. Men like competitive games, and women like romance games. It’s actually very simple. I don’t think it’s complicated. Even if we make it, it’s very simple. I don’t understand why you can’t see this way.”

After hearing what she said, Akane Akasaka finally understood what type of game Kenichi Uesugi wanted to make.

At first, I didn't understand what Uesugi Kenichi was going to do.

The reason is that they had never done this before, had absolutely no experience, and didn't even know how to begin.

But now, after being instructed by Uesugi Kenichi, Akane Akasaka roughly understood what Uesugi Kenichi was going to do.

He looked at Uesugi Kenichi and asked.

"Are you planning to take a male-oriented game and then remake it into a female-oriented game?"

Kenjiro Uesugi nodded in agreement.

"Well, the game graphics will be the same as our male version, but the storyline will be the same as a female version. Does that make it easier for you to understand? Isn't it simpler?"

Everyone fell silent.

Just now, when Uesugi Kenichi suggested making games for women.

Almost everyone thought it was a pipe dream and impossible, but after hearing what Uesugi Kenichi said, they realized it was indeed very easy.

It's really not difficult; you just need to change the version number.

Akane Akasaka asked him.

"So, how do you plan to make this female-oriented game? Will you buy the rights to a novel and adapt it? Or will you develop it yourself?"

They don't buy copyrights for any of their games.

It was all my own idea and development.

Self-produced and sold.

The reason is that they basically understand the male version of the game; the plot is just like that, so they don't feel it's necessary to waste money on buying the copyright. Every penny saved is a penny earned.

Upon hearing this, Uesugi Kenichi glanced at the female staff members present.

He answered.

"No need to buy copyrights, let's produce and sell our own content. Don't we have female employees? Let them write the plot. One person definitely can't write it alone. If several people write it together, the background and framework will be much larger, right?"

After hearing this, the female employees looked at each other and remained silent.

Kenichi Uesugi looked at them and asked.

"Do you find it difficult, Shiyu?"

Upon being called upon, Shiyu immediately answered.

"It's not difficult. Give us some time, and we can write it."

Seeing that she agreed, Uesugi Kenichi was very satisfied and nodded.

"Okay, that's good. No rush. You can develop this game while writing the development proposal for the new game. Once you've written a bit, show me the story background and see if it satisfies me."

Shiyu nodded in agreement.
