This Monster Hunter also counts as a work with certain ambitions, and Takayuki treats this work very seriously.
However, he does remember that this work was not smooth sailing either; there were many twists and turns in between. The first and foremost obstacle was that players might not necessarily buy into this type of high difficulty game.
More players tend to prefer lighter games, and games that are challenging to players in later generations are also niche.
However, Takayuki still very much wants to make this game.
So besides striving for excellence in the game itself, he also needs to find other ways to let the reputation of this game ferment.
But it's estimated that it won't be easy to find such methods for a while. He didn't have much good experience from his past life; he can only figure out a way himself.
However, this life is ultimately different from the previous one.
In the previous life, when Monster Hunter was born, it was really unknown, and it took some wrong paths. It wasn't until it started to gradually rise to the top on the portable PSP console that it truly began to ascend.
But in this life, with Takayuki's aura as the god of games, the result will inevitably be different from the previous life. But the specific effect of his aura remains to be seen.
...
Inside the Gamestar Electronic Entertainment Company, there are always a few older people coming in and out during this time.
They are all scholars with a certain social status, each having a small reputation in their respective fields.
However, subjects like biology, entomology, and environmental science are niche disciplines in society.
Even though they have high social status, they can hardly bring any benefits or higher reputation.
Originally, these few people, who are almost sixty years old, had already roughly figured out their future.
They thought that they would spend their whole lives quietly teaching in the academy, then retire and return to their hometowns to live quietly.
If their children were ambitious, they would have an easier time. If they weren't, they still had a little capital to support their children.
This life is basically like that.
But what these old people didn't expect was that, just as they were quietly enjoying their academic lives, a few unexpected visitors suddenly arrived.
They were very young, not their students, not even students from their university, and the visitors had no interest in biology, environmental science, or any related knowledge before this.
They came to visit at the behest of their boss and hoped to hire them as academic consultants for a new game.
They know what electronic games are.
That's something their grandchildren and children love. Even now, they occasionally play games themselves.
Games like Tetris and Dr. Mario are very suitable for them, and sometimes, playing electronic games brings back feelings of youth.
But being suddenly visited by professionals in the electronic game industry and asked to become consultants, that was something they never expected.
Initially, they weren't very interested, but the offer was too generous.
The consultant fee was a hefty 500,000 yen per month, and all they needed to do was provide the most professional advice in their respective fields whenever necessary.
According to these young people, they want to create a virtual yet incredibly real world by themselves.
In this world, there are mysterious monsters, charming environments, a diverse ecosystem, and even a dedicated language.
Apart from the tempting reward, another sentence from these young visitors also moved them.
"Elders, don't you want to personally participate in this project to create a world? Don't you want to become someone akin to a creator god?"
This kind of invitation was extremely novel, something these old scholars had never experienced before.
So, with the promise of money and that piece of advice, they gladly accepted the consultant job.
Without affecting their other daily teaching schedules, they can come to the Gamestar Electronic Entertainment headquarters and provide the most professional academic guidance to a group of programmers.
They don't need to teach these single-minded programmers the knowledge they know.
All they need to do is give suggestions when these programmers and artists are creating, advising them on what kind of environment and biological forms are the most reasonable and logical.
This is the process of gradually creating a world.
And as time goes by, these old scholars find themselves increasingly enjoying this process, surpassing the feeling of employment they felt under the temptation of money.
And slowly, surrounded by so many creative and energetic young people, they feel like they've become younger themselves.
These old scholars are seeing for the first time how these creative young people are creating everything step by step in the virtual world.
Honestly, if they weren't already quite old and remembering those complicated programming knowledge again was very difficult, these old scholars would probably immediately want to participate in this process of creating a world with their own hands.
It turns out that game development involves so much knowledge.
Electronic games are not as shallow as some media make them out to be.
This is a truly respectable industry.
At least every employee in this company is passionate and enthusiastic about their work, which also reminds them of the feeling of learning new knowledge when they were young.
And after a day of consultancy work, these scholars can roam freely within the company premises, except for some confidential floors.
And the place they visit most often should be the entertainment floor in the company.
There are always employees coming here to play games during work hours, something that wouldn't happen elsewhere but is commonplace here.
According to the employees here, their president believes that playing games is also a reflection on creating something, and it is also a process of improvement.
Playing other games is learning, playing their own games is reflection.
"Uncle, be careful with your waist. This motion-sensing game can be very exhausting. If you're not careful, you might even strain your muscles."
"Hehe, please don't underestimate us old folks. Our physical fitness might be better than you guys who sit in front of computers all day."
At this moment, a few scholars are dressed in casual clothes. Their entire demeanor and appearance look much younger.
Even though there were many young people in the school they were in before, when those young people faced them, they only showed respect and didn't dare to overstep.
But here, the young people are like friends, igniting the long-lost youthful mentality of these scholars.
Now, they have gradually begun to like this company.
If this company is willing to continue hiring them, even if the salary is not that high, they would be very willing to stay now.
