Debut or Die

Episode 460

“Ouch! Hello testers!”

“hello!”

We entered the open office door.

It was the creators of < 127 Section > who opened the door.

It was a smaller office than when it was in T1 Place, an affiliate of T1. But it was full of energy.

Enthusiastic greetings poured in.

“I didn’t know you would contact me like this, so nice to meet you! It seems like I haven’t seen you in a long time… … .”

“Ha ha yes. It’s the first time we’ve met in person since the collaboration. Oh this… It’s late, but it’s a gift from opening.”

“It’s okay… and thank you.”

What Ryu Chung-woo presented was a SF concept mood lamp brought in according to the number of employees. As a company that is serious about this, the faces of the representatives became clear.

‘I knew it would work.’

He was good at ignoring Cha Yu-jin’s fierce objections.

Naturally, the story of the past comes out.

“Seeing this reminds me of when we were working on tutorial characters! It was really fun to talk to you and make it fun for you.”

“Really~? We did too!”

The atmosphere becomes more cordial. Well, I certainly did a good job without blushing at the time.

There must be a reason why the meeting happened right away… In fact, there may be more practical reasons.

I scanned the faces of the delegates.

‘It’s a personal relationship manager.’

Didn’t this side kick T1 with their own feet?

Even if you have great guts, you won’t be worried at all. It’s because it’s in the middle of the day with big companies.

Even if T1 is not that big a hand in the game world, the overall impact on the cultural industry platform was considerable.

‘There will be some pressure to start over from scratch as a startup.’

But at that time, if a proven star marketing person who had a good publicity before asked for a meeting, I would accept it.

‘Even if they’re in a similar situation, I’m curious.’

It looks like our side also kicked T1 and even escaped from the company once more. It means that there is nothing strange even if they are misunderstood as ‘comrades’.

I’ve been aiming for that

We exchanged a few words and moved to what appeared to be a conference room and sat down. There were game posters and figure figures everywhere.

‘There are also < 127 Section > characters.’

There will be no copyrights anymore… Did you do it out of affection rather than bragging about the company?

I looked all the way and finally checked the poster of a strange character on the wall. A character in an engineer’s uniform with a bizarre flesh weapon in his hand.

‘This… … .’

Representatives of these companies were not in the portfolio. good.

“Is this a game character too?”

“Ah yes!”

“I think it looks really cool.”

“Really? That’s Mundae’s taste!”

Kim Rae-bin looked at the poster with eyes full of curiosity.

“Is this a new game by any chance?”

“This is a representative image character for a new game we are currently developing. But the launch schedule is quite late… … .”

“When are you by any chance?”

“The plan… Well, it’s about the end of next year.”

It was far away.

‘Besides, they don’t talk about the exact quarter.’

This meant that development was not going very smoothly and tightly.

ambiguous

A story that could be pushed to the next year.

‘hmm.’

I smiled inwardly.

And I checked the poster carefully again.

It has a bit of a bizarre, yet modern taste. The quality was good, so I still felt like I knew how to keep the line.

“So I think the official promotion will probably start around next summer. It’s a train story… .”

As if we thought we were interested, the male representative put his eyes on the story right away.

That’s great.

‘It must mean that it would be nice if Testa would promote or collaborate again at that time.’

They are definitely a bit clumsy when it comes to sales.

I looked away slightly as I listened. Big Sejin is also nodding his head to the CEO as if he is really interested.

But I did remember.

When the production team of < 127 Section > informed the members that they had found a newly established company called ‘Ruins Industrial Complex’.

This guy’s reaction.

-and… I found it because it was Mundae. Really! But you don’t want to do a game collaboration again, do you?

It means that you will admit that you found it, but throw away the idea of collapsing.

Of course, I also remembered my reaction to it.

-Of course not.

That’s not what we need.

“Actually, after hearing the word, there are still ruins of the factory… No, I think the games made by the people of the industrial complex will be wonderfully unique and fun.”

“… ! Oh, thank you.”

“So there is something I want to tell you.”

I got to the point.

the reason you came here

“I would like to make a request. Could you make a game for us?”

I will make a real game, not a game collaboration.

“… !”

The delegates’ eyes widened.

And, wondering if it was my joke, I seemed to be checking the other people’s faces.

Unfortunately, none of the other members were surprised.

Instead, Liu Cheng-wu just said:

“Well, the scenario is all ready.”

“… … .”

The representatives looked around among themselves and opened their mouths like this.

“It usually takes a very long time to develop a game like that. Even if there is a scenario, it is a different story to write and implement the original graphic UI code… It requires complex steps.”

A plus in the attitude of trying to kindly explain from the public eye level instead of yelling at the outsider saying crazy things.

‘As expected, it would be nice to work together.’

I smiled inside and nodded seriously.

“Of course, we are not shameless enough to take the time of the ruined industrial complex for a long time.”

“yes?”

“Actually, I’m not talking about the kind of games you originally developed… .”

I continued my explanation.

Game content in a form that would not be awkward even if put in the Venn diagram of the existing idol business.

that much… The volume is also small and special.

‘This is definitely possible within the time.’

We just need to roll over like dogs. We just need to squeeze our labor force.

And the more they spoke, the more the faces of the representatives changed.

That was definitely interesting.

“Ah, that… .”

well done

* * *

“Thank you~”

After several explanations and meetings.

The contracts ended in an instant.

Ryu Cheng-wu said brightly as he sent the signed contract to the company.

“This is convenient because we have the authority.”

“okay! It’s definitely true that you don’t have to listen!”

Bae Se-jin agreed and turned his head with a rare excited face.

“This is what it is. Is that album prediction again… Aren’t you going to try that?”

“yes.”

It should be.

Then the words suddenly intervened.

“Ah, one before Moondaemundae! You’ve all heard this, but one more time.”

Big Sejin smiled.

“Let’s not say things like we are directors of the company for no reason, whether it’s on a broadcast or anywhere else!”

“hmm?”

“Why do we have contract rights? Don’t even talk about things like this, just like before, ‘We produce the album!’ Enough of this!”

um yeah

It was important.

It is a line that must be cut off early if you do not want to be involved as a source of responsibility when the company has done dirty things.

It was more important than we were independent. The risk of equating us with this company is greater.

How much were you cursed at T1 alone? There is no guarantee that Orbit won’t step on that train.

… … Sometimes, there are times when you make a choice that is criticized because of circumstances that the outside world does not know.

therefore.

‘It doesn’t matter if I don’t benefit from the image of a company director.’

The image you can have as an idol is enough.

“Okay, okay!”

“hmm… okay.”

“Okay~”

There were people who understood this and others who didn’t know if it was necessary to do that, but everyone agreed anyway.

And after entering the company conference room.

“Umm, because I’ll be tired too… I’ll do the album prediction after I go to the dorm and rest… ?”

“Well, it’s okay to do it now.”

It’s not like I’m using my stamina in particular.

I just plugged my laptop right into the conference room screen and started typing the album production hologram.

‘Here, even one person from the company can enter, so cover the human resources part… .’

Others filled in just fine.

[Album]

[Manpower: A]

-Raebin Kim (★★★★★) Kim**(★★★★) Park**(★★★★) Park**(★★★)… .

*Start production ← Click!

Everything seemed almost intact.

manpower and time.

However, there is something else attached after the ‘personnel part’ omitted with an ellipsis.

‘Outside personnel.’

I thought of the outside personnel invited for this contract with the ‘Ruins Industrial Complex’.

And based on that, the direction of the album project we made.

-T1 is blocking us… It won’t reveal its crucial weakness at all.

… if you just go

‘It will definitely make an impressive album.’

I pressed the ‘start production’ button.

The effect credits started to explode.

[External manpower: Setting up]

[Plus effect occurs!]

Moreover, if you use this method, surprisingly, the company that will produce the actual album does not have to compete for first place or second place in the industry as before.

‘It doesn’t matter if T1 gets in the way.’

[Manufacturer: Setting up]

[Offset negative effect!]

‘Concept… It’s decided.’

[Concept: Game]

[Plus effect occurs!]

It’s not just a game, but it seems to be integrated with it. It doesn’t matter.

‘The important thing is that the effect occurred.’

The letters are brightly fried.

[Plus effect]

External manpower: New attempt

– Promotion ↑↑

Concept: Premonition of immersion

– Quality ↑

[Prediction result complete!]

I read all the letters without taking my eyes off.

And finally, the moment when the ratings appear.

“… … .”

I clenched my fists.

[Expected album grade: S+ ~ A+]

That’s right.

“… Let’s make it.”

* * *

A few weeks after that.

It was one day when the day started to warm up.

– Crazy testa comeback!

-Really?

– Somehow,

the bulletin board of idol gossip was agitated by the sudden news of Testa’s ‘album reservation notice’ so quickly.

This was because it was less than a month after Testa moved the company.

How is this possible?

It soon became clear.

– It’s a repackage.

– Huh!

repackage.

It means an album that is newly released by adding only one or two songs from the previous album.

In fact, Testa originally intended to make a new mini-album or single album. It was according to the insistence of several members, ‘If possible, let’s not touch T1’s planting’.

However, the situation changed after the modification of the T1 was revealed.

‘It was filmed anyway, but what?’

Thanks to that, they proudly decided to suck up the previous songs and concepts and write them!

But people got more excited.

I moved companies, but I can bring my previous albums and release them! -That crazy company, T1Stars

, has all the copyrights? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha -Wow, the big picture

of

Testa

…

The album of the former high-teen concept that did not work properly is revived!

Fans were eager to make reservations for a comeback term or something.

-Make money, please

. -When will it open?

And that’s… The same was true of Park Moon-dae’s first home horse.

Homma grabbed the smartphone as if tearing it apart.

‘For this day, I was earning money…’ .’

She had big plans. Even if it’s impossible until the fan signing event is over, I want to attend half of it… desire… .

But first of all, in order to be the strength of the new start, the pre-orders of this album had to be good!

‘Ahhh… I’m sure there won’t be a music night.’

Light fans who don’t know what T1 Escape is in between. But she knew.

Being disconnected from the broadcasting station and from the broadcasting station you are from is not a very good sign for your activities.

‘This activity is really, really important!’

I’m sure any smart student would know, but it bothered me a little that he came out in such a hurry… … So more sexual! It’s only sexual!

She nodded.

At that moment, an SNS pop-up appeared on the smartphone.

“… !”

‘Testa company official account… !’

This is definitely an album sale notice. She clicked hastily.

And I quickly recalled the information I knew beforehand.

This album is 3 types and… .

-Is the company crazy that it only produces 1,000 of the 3-piece sets with special benefits?

The article said that there is a ‘limited set’ that sells only 1,000 points and ends.

Although it was well received with a kind notice that it will be produced as a general edition MD in the future… I was criticized for not telling you exactly what the ingredients were.

‘… It looked like it was getting stronger.’

And its identity is now known.

She read the SNS post in an instant and was surprised as if her eyes would pop out soon.

“… board game?”

and midnight on the same day.

Inside the teaser for Testa’s new song.

[Ugh… .]

7 people in comfortable plain clothes sitting in the middle of a dim attic lamp with a blanket wrapped around it and a small light bulb.

This is the high-teen concept testa that appeared in the previous album concept.

They sat around on the floor in the attic.

Place the board game in the middle.

-Let’s start

The melee begins and

the dice roll.
