Is this mangaka crazy?

But why would someone with a deep understanding of video game production draw manga?

"Brother, are you a programmer?" Kenji Nakamura asked curiously.

"No, I'm just a mangaka..." Ren Amamiya scratched his head.

He didn't remember his original body in this life, nor did he know what it did.

Anyway, he was neither a programmer in his previous life nor in this one.

In his previous life, he was an intern lawyer and hadn't yet been promoted.

Then, inexplicably, he transmigrated.

He himself was unaware of the reason for his transmigration.

"Just a mangaka..." Kenji Nakamura fell silent.

'What kind of mangaka can create such a complete game?'

"Alright, I've shown myself and I can prove that I'm not joking. You really don't meet my requirements."

Ren Amamiya waved his hand and said: "I won't accompany you today."

But at that moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Wait! Amamiya-san!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

Haruto Yamamoto stood up and looked at Ren Amamiya with bright eyes.

"Since Amamiya-san wants to make a 3A masterpiece... let's do it!"

He looked at Ren Amamiya and smiled. "What do you think?"

"Huh?"

Ren Amamiya was stunned for a moment and blinked.

"Do you have the capability? Don't count on me. I can help you solve the problem in one aspect at most, but you need the corresponding capability in other aspects."

He shook his head and said:

"To develop a 3A masterpiece, time, money, manpower, and resources are indispensable. If you don't have this capability, I don't want the game "Cyberpunk 2077" to become garbage."

You know, according to the annual financial reports of the former Polish developer CD Projekt Red.

To develop "Cyberpunk 2077" and related projects, nearly 800 million yen have been invested.

It is also reported that the total cost of the project could reach 1.8 billion yen, which includes an 8-year development cycle.

However, "Cyberpunk 2077", whose development required a large investment of manpower, money, and time, is still of low quality.

Although Ren Amamiya can ask the System for help.

Furthermore, the various scenarios, plots, and equipment of the previous game are clearly remembered.

In this case, it might be possible to significantly reduce the cost and development time.

But even if it is reduced, the development cost should not be less than one-tenth, right? Ren Amamiya doesn't plan to participate too much in the daily development work.

He doesn't want to be a social animal again.

Therefore, the partners collaborating on the development of "Cyberpunk 2077" must be very strong.

At least they must have the investment capability and an experienced and seasoned team, right? Haruto Yamamoto's company initially planned to copy others and create a "small game," but the cost shortage was vaguely revealed.

Ren Amamiya didn't believe him much.

Haruto Yamamoto gritted his teeth, with a gleam in his eyes: "I believe we have this strength, and I also want to create the first 3A masterpiece of our Japan!"

With the game Ren Amamiya had just released, he also saw that Ren Amamiya was definitely not that simple.

With such an important man in charge, what if he could really create the first 3A masterpiece in Japan?

"I love the manga "Edgerunners". I heard what you said, Amamiya-san, and now I think it's time to make a change!"

Ren Amamiya observed the energy in Haruto Yamamoto's eyes and suddenly thought about it.

However, a moment later, he shook his head and looked at Haruto Yamamoto.

"Then, let me ask you, how much money do you think it will cost to develop a 3A masterpiece?" Ren Amamiya asked.

Haruto Yamamoto smiled and said: "I know that the development cost of 3A masterpieces in the market is usually hundreds of millions, or even more...".

Furthermore, he is a young man who loves video games and entertainment, so, naturally, he is very clear about the development cost of 3A masterpieces.

"Do you know? Can your company invest that much?"

Ren Amamiya was a little surprised. He looked at Haruto Yamamoto and asked:

"Our company really can't...".

Haruto Yamamoto shook his head.

Ren Amamiya was a little disappointed.

In fact, his attitude towards Haruto Yamamoto was somewhat relaxed. After all,

if we truly want to develop a 3A masterpiece, in the current context of all Japan, who would be willing to make such a large and risky investment? When Haruto Yamamoto showed his willingness to declare that he wanted to create the first 3A masterpiece in Japan,

Ren Amamiya was a little moved.

After all, it's not easy to find such a passionate young man.

But the cost of developing a 3A masterpiece is not low.

Even agreeing with Haruto Yamamoto, he invested in its development.

But halfway through, he discovered that the investment was too high and there was no money. What would he do if he didn't continue with the development? Ren Amamiya asked him if he knew the cost of developing a 3A masterpiece and if he had the necessary capital to develop a game like this.

However, although Haruto Yamamoto knew the cost,

his company did not have the necessary capital.

This disappointed Ren Amamiya.

However, at that moment,

Haruto Yamamoto smiled and said: "Although the company doesn't have it, I do."

"You do?" Ren Amamiya asked, surprised.

"I have the money to fund the development of this 3A masterpiece called "Cyberpunk 2077".

Haruto Yamamoto replied: "There's no need to worry about the cost. In the initial phase, I can directly invest 100 million yen in the cost." If that's still not enough, I'll invest another 200 million yen, 300 million yen, or even...

At that moment, he gritted his teeth: "Even 500 million yen!"

He made up his mind and dedicated all his small fortune to the development of the first 3A masterpiece in Japan's history.

If it doesn't work out, he can just ask his father to invest more! His family is in real estate, but he prefers video games.

Moreover, the video game industry has been booming in recent years, and Haruto Yamamoto's father has tolerated his behavior, so he plans to start his own business.

But if he fails, he can only go home and inherit the family business.

So he doesn't have to worry about money.

He only fears failure.

"It's just the technical aspect... Our company has a game design department that can create 3D models," Haruto Yamamoto continued with some concern.

"The twelve members of the development department also have good experience and strength, but they might... They still lack experience if they want to develop 3A masterpieces."

"Leave it to me."

Ren Amamiya shrugged, quite confident.

"Any technical difficulty is not a problem."

He is a man who possesses the System's secret.

What technical problems, under the dark mechanical influence of the System!

No problem! Seeing Ren Amamiya's "shameless" appearance, Kenji Nakamura, who understands technology, wanted to question him.

"Any technical difficulty is not a problem." These words sound like boasting, right?

Not even the best programmers in the world would be completely confident.

Relying on being able to solve all technical problems, right?

But thinking about the very complete demo game Ren Amamiya just released, he got scared again.

What if...

Ren Amamiya is really a big shot?

"Then it's great that Amamiya-san is joining!"

Haruto Yamamoto was delighted.

The game Ren Amamiya had just released demonstrated great strength.

Just for that, he deserved Haruto Yamamoto's trust.
