"Don't kill it without permission! That's my dream! How can I give up so easily!"
"Oh, then just drown yourself holding on to your dream."
"Don't let it drown so easily before you do anything?!"
"You were willing to not let it drown, but I really wanted to strangle it to death because it sounds like a troublesome thing."
"Don't say it's a hassle. Teacher Li Nian writes such good novels. It's just a script. Isn't it easy to write it?"
It was an animation before, and this time it’s a game script... I knew it was the writing talent displayed by the novel I wrote that made An Yi once again have this unrealistic and naive idea. So, why do these guys always like to confuse novels and scripts?
Li Nian was too lazy to explain to him the differences between the novel and the script. She yawned and said impatiently.
"Do you think I will agree to your request just because you call me teacher? Since you know that you can write it easily, why don't you write it yourself?"
"No! How can my talent compare to one finger of yours, Teacher Li Nian?"
Li Nian's expression became serious and he patted An Yi on the shoulder.
"How can young people be so spineless? You have to believe in yourself. With enough courage, determination, and perseverance, you can realize your dreams!"
"Even if you suddenly tell me to work hard in a passionate tone right now..."
Li Nian withdrew his hand and leaned back in his chair.
"Besides, what do you, a fool, know about making games?"
"Is it my illusion? You seemed to have used some very contemptuous lines?!"
"Making games is a very complicated thing. And if you really want to make it, you don't need to find a script first, you need to find a programmer."
"I can write programs." Wu Geng next to him suddenly interrupted with great interest.
"Shut up and don't make trouble at this time. It will give this idiot an opportunity to take advantage of you!"
"Because it seems very interesting, what does Amai want to do? I can help you with programming." Gogen smiled evilly and added again as if to create more chaos in the world.
"See! Gogen-san said so!" As expected, An Yi became excited all of a sudden: "The technical difficulties have been overcome in one go!"
"She overcame all of this in one go. No, regardless of her programming skills, you're oversimplifying things... It takes an entire project team to make a game."
"Oh? I don't need it, right? I just want to make a galgame?"
Chapter 165: Aki Tomoya has a bold idea
"galgame?"
Li Nian was stunned for a moment. This was somewhat different from the game he had imagined. When he heard An Yi talking about wanting to make games, what immediately came to his mind were CS, Assassin's Creed, Starcraft, various RPGs and the like. He felt that no matter what type of game it was, it had nothing to do with the otaku in front of him. He really didn't expect a galgame.
So now that An Yi said this, his first thought was "So that's it?"
Then, Li Nian's second thought was, "It is as expected."
Come to think of it, if we were to say what the three things Tomoya Aki is most passionate about, wouldn't they be animation, novels, and galgames? He usually talks about these topics all the time, and among them, he has never mentioned any other types of games except galgames. When he talks about wanting to make games, galgames are the only thing he is interested in. It is impossible to expect this guy to have any great success.
An Yi wanted to make a text adventure game in the galgame category, also known as an interactive electronic novel. It is called a game, but in fact it has no gameplay. The programming requirements are not high. The important parts are the script, character design, CG, and music. No wonder he is not worried about the difficulty of programming and wants to find a script first.
Then Li Nian's third involuntary thought was, "Is this feasible?"
No no no no no no…
Li Nian shook his head vigorously to get rid of the thoughts in his mind and spoke in a more leisurely tone.
"It sounds like something you would say, Aki... But since the game you want to make is a galgame, I can't help you at all."
"Why!"
"Because I don't really understand things like love."
"Nonsense, of course I saw that."
"..."
Although it was Li Nian who brought it up, he felt a little uncomfortable after An Yi admitted it so frankly and straightforwardly, and asked unhappily, "Why?"
Gogen sneered and answered for Aki.
"Because I can tell at a glance that you are single = life, a virgin with no experience in dating girls."
"Tsk." Li Nian smacked her lips in dissatisfaction and spit back in a bad tone: "You're talking like a virgin with no dating experience."
Wu Geng was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red.
"Who, who told you that I don't have any dating experience!" Then she pretended to be arrogant and held her chest, humming and raising her head: "I have a lot of experience, okay!"
"You keep playing, I'm listening." Li Nian rolled his eyes, glanced away, and picked his ears.
"Hmm!" Knowing that he couldn't fool this guy, Gogen gritted his teeth and said, "Besides, does my lack of dating experience have anything to do with the fact that you're a virgin?"
Ah, it's a self-deprecating admission that you have no dating experience.
"I didn't say I had any. I'm single, so I'm proud of it." Li Nian, who had successfully brought others to the same level as himself and defeated them, suddenly became much calmer. He ignored Wu Geng who was still mumbling in hatred and turned to An Yi and continued, "You know I'm like this. You expect me to help you write a galgame script? Isn't that a bit unrealistic? I can't write about love."
"nonsense."
Unexpectedly, An Yi rejected him immediately.
"You can't write about love without experience in love? That's impossible. You can obviously write it, right? The light, raw, yet profound love between Xiaoliang and the Demon King! Don't you grasp it very well?"
"...But that kind of light, subtle, unobtrusive description of love shouldn't be suitable for galgame themes, right?"
The essence of galgame is interactive novels. Novel writing is indeed one of Li Nian's specialties. If you insist on saying that the fields are common, then that's certainly possible, but the theme of galgame is mostly love. What does it mean to have a love theme? It means repeatedly emphasizing it and building the plot with it as the core. Basically, the main content of galgame is to focus on the male protagonist and write about the emotional development between him and various beautiful girls around him... That is definitely not the aspect of writing that Li Nian is good at.
Writing a galgame script? Just let him off the hook. He really has no interest in those love-related things and doesn't want to write that type of story at all.
"Nonono," An Yi showed a look that said you don't understand: "So-called galgame, that's a game category that can accommodate a wide range of genres!"
"Ha," Li Nian sneered, "Provide different forms of social security?"
"...I'm serious." An Yi said very seriously: "I know what your concerns and hesitations are. You feel that what you write does not conform to the so-called tone of galgame, but I tell you that it is a meaningless idea. The reason is simple: as long as the story is well written, readers will accept it!"
"Don't you think your idea is too naive?"
"I know my statement is too general and vague! But I believe that the story you wrote, Li Nian, is so excellent! So touching! It must be well presented in the form of a galgame! So that players can also experience it!"
"I just don't understand why you think this way... To be frank, the romance elements in my writing style are too weak and don't fit the game format of galgame."
"So, if we just make it thicker, it will fit together, right?"
"What? I'm telling you, I can't write it." Li Nian shook his head desperately.
"Don't worry, I don't plan to ask you to write this part. This will undoubtedly change your style, Teacher Li Nian."
"Can you please stop calling me teacher? Yuigahama and Hikigaya are looking at us with strange eyes... So, if you don't want me to write, who are you going to let write it?"
"Let [Xia Shizi] write it."
Wu Geng's eyes widened when he heard this pen name.
"…You really have a big heart."
Li Nian showed a headache expression again and began to rub his nose.
He even wanted to ask Kasumigaoka-senpai to help him write the script.
Is it possible? No way.
That person doesn't look like someone who would be deceived by such an unreliable thing, and he and An Yi have only met once. How could he be invited by An Yi with just a few words?
An Yi didn't seem to notice this at all. She became more and more excited as she talked, and continued the topic excitedly.
"If your writing style is like mountains and swords, highlighting grandeur and sharpness, then [Xia Shizi]'s writing style is like water and cherry blossoms, revealing softness and delicacy! Don't you think your writing styles complement each other? If the two of you can combine, I believe that you will definitely create a god-level galgame that will be recorded in the history of games!"
"You can still listen to it without the suffix 'galgame'... An Yi, you have no writing experience, so you make things so simple. Well, I won't talk about these technical difficulties, and just tell you whether you can invite Kasumigaoka Utaha?"
Chapter 166 Reasons for Rejection
"I will work hard!"
"Tsk, try hard..."
Li Nian could roughly understand what An Yi was making a fuss about at the moment. This guy probably played too many galgames, so it was inevitable that he would have the idea of making one himself. He used to suffer from the lack of ways and ability to realize it, and then he saw his and Kasumigaoka's writing skills, and it happened that the two of them were very close to him, so he came up with a bold idea. He thought of the dreams of the past again and ignited his ambitions.
But Li Nian really couldn't muster up any interest. It wasn't that she was so opposed to making games, but she had a little yearning for it in the past. However, An Yi's dream was too unrealistic in many ways and had no practical feasibility. When she thought about it, Li Nian couldn't muster up any interest.
"Okay, let's take a step back and assume that you can really get Kasumigaoka-senpai to participate in your farce. Even if you have found the script, what happens next? I remember that galgames also require illustrations, right? That's also a very critical part. Who are you going to ask to do it?"
"Of course, we'll ask Lady Sawamura Spencer Eriri to do it!"
An Yi gave the name of her childhood sweetheart without hesitation.
"…Sawamura is just a student of the art department. I believe you that she is good at sketching and art painting, but she has nothing to do with being the original artist of galgame, right?"
“Hehe~~~” An Yi showed a smug smile and waved his finger: “This is Li Nian Lao again… Classmate, you don’t know this, right? Eriri has another unknown identity behind the scenes… I’m afraid you’ll be scared if I tell you, so I won’t tell you for now. Anyway, Eriri is absolutely capable of doing the job of original painting!”
Li Nian was also surprised when she saw An Yi talking so seriously, as if it was true. Could it be that Sawamura could really do it?
Although Aki seems to have concealed some key information, think about it, Sawamura is indeed the ace of the art club, professional counterparts, not to mention that he may really be capable of being the original artist... No, no, no, even if he is really capable, Sawamura looks so intelligent and shouldn't be messing around with Aki... Probably not, right? Probably not?
Li Nian was certain that Kasumigaoka would never agree, but if Amaki asked Sawamura for help, Li Nian was not sure whether Sawamura would agree, so he decided not to dwell on it.
"Okay, I guess you found the original painting, but what about the music?"
"What a coincidence. I actually have a cousin who studies music!"
An Yi had a relaxed expression, as if he was willing to let you find fault with her, which really made people angry: "Look, now we have everyone, right?"
"Can you please bring these people to me first before we talk about making games?"
Li Nian really didn't want to talk to An Yi about such unrealistic things that had no possibility of realization, so he simply used this sentence to get rid of him.
An Yi, however, seemed to have received a revelation and became ecstatic all of a sudden, thinking that this was a sign that Li Nian was willing to give in: "So, as long as I can get someone, you'll be willing to talk?"
"We'll talk about it after you pull it out."
"Yoshi! Then I'll go!"
"Hmm? Wait, do you want lunch..."
An Yi had already hurriedly run out of the classroom, as if he was really going to talk to those people about this matter.
"I ate it... Never mind. It's my own fault."
Li Nian watched his figure disappear out the door, sighed and shook his head, convinced in his heart that it was impossible for him to really put together such a team. When he came back covered in dust, he would know not to talk nonsense in his sleep anymore.
"I feel like Amami-kun is really motivated today."
Kato listened to their conversation, watched Aki run away, and sighed.
"Is he not motivated on any given day?" Li Nian took out the bread and milk he had bought and started eating and drinking.
"Yeah... it's true that they're very noisy every day." Thinking of how An Yi spared no effort to teach people about the beauty of the second dimension every day, Kato nodded in agreement, then shook his head: "But classmate Li Nian, don't you think he's very special today?"
"I can already feel it from the bottom of my heart, because it's more tiring to deal with him than before."
"Even if you say you're just dealing with it... I feel like Amami-kun is asking you to do something serious. He said he wants Li Nian to write that... that... what...?"
Wu Geng explained: "GALGAME is a game that tells stories in the form of pictures and text."
"You've avoided some key points very well. I think you should mention 18+?"
"Heh, men." Gogen rolled his eyes at him and said, "You guys just have a lot of pornographic thoughts in your heads... But I have to say, that's indeed an unavoidable element of galgames."
"You sound like you know a lot about the industry. Have you ever played any 18+ galgames?"
"Guuuu! Of course not!"
Li Nian asked the question casually and trickily, intending to tease her, but he did not expect that Wu Geng was more shaken than he thought, which immediately made him look at her suspiciously.
"You are not just at the level you have played before, but you are also very familiar with it..."
"In short! In short! In short! It's true that what Amaki-san wants to make is definitely suitable for all ages!" Gogen tried desperately to change the subject, and from time to time he glanced at Kato who had a confused look on his face.
He looks like a guilty thief.
"..." Li Nian decided to let her go for the time being: "An Yi is still a decent person. Even if he had ten times the courage, he probably wouldn't dare to ask Kasumigaoka and Sawamura to make 18+ content."
Wu Geng looked at Li Nian, thought for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.
"Speaking of content, I heard from Amaki that she hopes to combine your writing style with that of [Kasumi Shiko]. I think this is a very feasible idea."
"Do you think I should agree?" Li Nian shook her head: "I'm very busy."
