Chapter 278 – Volume 56 – Correlation Between Hypnosis Apps and Card Games (3)
“This atmosphere is nice.”
“Huh?”
“No, it’s been a while since I’ve been able to relax comfortably in the club room like this.”
All the basic settings for the new work are out.
Now that I’m working on setting up the heroine, I’m going to the club room to rest for a while.
The atmosphere of everyone drawing or reading comics felt good because it had been a while.
“Carly, Carly. Did you see this?”
“Huh? What is it?”
“A new cartoon. It’s fun.”
“Oh… It’s rare to hear a recommendation like this.”
“That’s right, because there won’t be many works that will catch Kali’s eye.”
That’s a real illusion.
It’s not that my work is bad, but even so, my work is often overvalued because of its specificity.
Perhaps by the standards of this world, it’s closer to creativity that keeps coming up with things that seem surprising.
But that’s almost a violation, because most of it is possible by using concepts that existed on Earth.
So even though I started the genre.
In fact, the works that create that genre often show better quality than mine.
You may think it’s similar and therefore less impressive, but that’s just the perspective from this world.
I’m really enjoying it.
“No. I think there are a lot of really interesting things?”
I don’t know if it’s Cho Chang-gi, a cartoonist.
How big has the comics market become now?
Everyone drew well.
“For some reason, he acts like he’s weak. He’s the one who took first place in all his works so far when they were published. Just ignore him.”
“That…”
“That’s right. Anyway, I need to work harder.”
“Huh? Working hard?”
“Because I’m becoming a knight who protects that great person. I have to work hard.”
“Ah.”
In that regard, I think he is very dependable and reassuring.
It’s an incredible skill right now, but it’s constantly improving, right?
…He’s so amazing that I wonder if he’s too good for me.
Of course, I have no intention of giving up my current position just because it doesn’t suit me.
I will use it as much as possible and do my best to create the world of good creativity that I want.
The areas I am currently working on are paintings, comics, games, and music…
‘There will be more later.’
Now, thanks to comics, novels have regained their status more than before.
Photos with endless potential for future development.
Even video content such as animation, movies, and broadcasting.
Because we will create a world where everyone can be evaluated appropriately without any censorship.
…We must first create industries that did not exist before.
This is why computers are urgently needed.
‘Oh, I want to work digitally.’
Although I am now very familiar with analog work.
Still, I want to go back to digital work.
I want to make a lot of variations with layers and create a CG album.
‘Hmm?’
When I thought about it, I wondered why it wouldn’t work now.
Now that technology has improved a lot, it can be implemented at a reasonable price.
Of course, at that point it will no longer be raw food, and the work will be difficult.
‘But… Isn’t that the concept of this work?’
The setting is that if you draw a different illustration over the card, the dream will change through hypnosis.
In particular, the card drawn at this time is not a card that must be shuffled, but a Marchen card that is mainly used face-up.
Wouldn’t it be fun if, instead of making a separate post-hypnosis card, you made a layered transparent card like this?
‘You don’t have to do everything.’
The one card in the story that takes the most effort to modify.
It will probably be the final Marchen card that you have to reach at the end.
How about using this Marchen card as a transparent card?
“If you care that much, it would be natural to add this hypnotic gimmick to decks from older works as well.”
‘I was already worried.’
If this new work is sold separately by character.
It’s different from last time when we sold the whole thing at once.
There was no suitable way to distribute old character support cards.
It was a bit difficult to sell it separately by character.
However, if you add it every time it is sold, there will be too much duplication.
‘The best thing is to release a sales set where only old character support cards can be purchased.’
I was worried because it was difficult to receive proper payment due to performance changes that did not include many new illustrations.
But what if it’s a DLC that completely changes the concept like this one?
User satisfaction will be high when purchasing.
The unit price itself will also increase to some extent.
I think it would be okay to sell it separately.
‘Yes, it would be okay if there was a bit of a big upheaval this season.’
Last time, it was a bit of a change of pace.
This time, the atmosphere of the existing decks was completely changed.
It would be a good idea to go there with the feeling of a battlefield of hypnosis and brainwashing.
For example, in Part 1, the story was divided into hope and despair.
Dropping hope to the point of despair through hypnosis.
You can play a trick that turns despair into hope.
In Part 2, a fake dream is given to a child who has given up on his dream, causing even deeper despair.
For adults with dreams, this is a story about being corrupted by a pervert dream that has been simply altered.
A somewhat twisted, false world could be portrayed through a card game.
‘I have more work to do, though.’
Because that’s something that can’t be helped.
However, once such a fun imagination comes to mind, it becomes impossible to stop from then on.
It’s a really delicious development, so I can’t give up just because it’s a bit difficult.
“Carly?”
“Huh?”
“You’re so enthusiastic. Are you ready for a new project?”
“Oh, sorry. We were talking. Something suddenly occurred to me.”
“No, it’s okay. Watching you smile and move the pen as if you were having fun like that made me feel good too.”
I’m glad you think positively of me.
Honestly, if it wasn’t anything special, I would have stopped in the middle.
Somehow, I thought of a key material, and I went crazy when it came to coming up with ideas.
“Ah.”
“What’s the matter?”
“Sorry, something came to mind besides talking.”
“Really, don’t worry about it, it’s okay to work. I like seeing Kali like that.”
“Yes, thank you.”
In fact, it is important to utilize old works well this season.
The most important thing is the characters and story of this new work.
In the end, drawing comics is about this part of the story.
That’s why I’ve been thinking a lot about the settings of these characters recently.
How can we make both existing and broken characters attractive?
And how should I contrast the two so that people who read my comics feel excited?
‘I get help from Orca every time.’
I’ve been considering a few characters so far.
I had forgotten the most important form of the heroine.
‘I was thinking in a very focused direction.’
Annoying kids appear.
We educate those children through hypnosis.
It’s definitely a composition that works well, and it’s also the direction of my favorite hypnotic genre.
But the heroine doesn’t necessarily have to be a bad guy.
You didn’t care about that in Part 1 of Inner Marchen, right?
Whether a child moves toward hope or toward despair.
That anything can be beautiful.
Any observation is worthwhile.
I already know.
However, in this work, I was creating character settings too foolishly.
Of course, bullying a good child, an innocent child, is a very unpleasant thing to say.
The book is sold separately for each character so that people can enjoy their various tastes as they please.
‘But the reason you don’t use it is. ‘It’s just stupid.’
I realized this after seeing an orca that was more attractive than anyone else.
Let’s create good children who look at others purely.
But let’s tell the story of a foolish protagonist who foolishly destroys that innocent child.
With pure white beauty, almost pure white.
The beauty of the process of dropping dirt on that beauty.
I thought I would like to introduce a heroine with that concept.
“Wait a minute.”
Of course, this does not mean that the character is created based on the Orca.
In any case, what I take from her is that she is such a kind and pretty girl that you can feel her pure whiteness.
I have no intention of including Orca’s special past or personality.
Rather, to make a character beautiful, you have to erase that three-dimensionality.
Creating characters that are horrifyingly flat.
Sometimes that kind of work is necessary.
Even something that feels boring and unappealing can gain new charm when you overcome its limit.
A girl who maximizes flat goodness and is close to the ‘concept’ of goodness is different.
I am giving birth to a girl using only a concept extracted from Orca.
“The name is Shiro. What do you think?”
It depicts a girl with a very soft appearance, with long flowing white hair.
It gives a flawless and clear expression that does not reveal any worries or feelings.
“Isn’t it very pretty?”
“Thank goodness. Now, and another version of this kid…”
Although I already like the main character at the beginning of the work.
The protagonist, who has low self-esteem, doesn’t know this and changes her dreams to make her like him.
She likes living a good life, and living like a brat was her dream.
As her dream turns into wanting to have someone she originally liked.
I plan to portray how all the existing intense kindness is replaced by a love that borders on madness.
Going beyond the category of ‘bad and annoying’ characters that other characters talk about.
She degenerates into a truly scary crazy bitch who commits crimes without any hesitation.
In the end, even the main character’s pen is taken away.
By taking away the only power that gives the protagonist the upper hand in the work.
As far as her route is concerned, she is not the main character, but she is above her.
By setting evil as the protagonist rather than the heroine, the protagonist ends up paying for his sins.
“They’re the same person?”
“It’s incredibly different.”
“Huh.”
“This is the poem at the beginning of the work. This is the poem at the end.”
It already feels like I should call him Kuro instead of Shiro.
Rather, they call a kid like that Shiro.
She thinks it’s good to be able to recall her extreme transformation.
