Chapter 294 – Volume 59 – Orca and Clothes Filled With Determination (4)
“Thank you.”
“Production can proceed as planned, right?”
“Yes, I will provide as much funding as I can.”
Once we start launching, we will invest the proceeds from the sales back into production costs.
For now, it would have been better to just pour in without sparing any money.
Well, that doesn’t mean we can’t hit them all here.
‘You have to consider the minimum cost of advertising and the cost of staff used in coding.’
Because the program isn’t complete yet.
Once the bugs have been patched to a significant extent.
We plan to turn everything into an open source project and make it public so that we don’t have to invest money in the future.
That’s the story after it was revealed.
Although we were planning to avoid the cost of advertising itself.
Even so, it wasn’t really something you could do for free.
Even advertisements that don’t cost money require basic costs to run them.
In fact, only the basic cost is incurred because it is a special situation.
“…Because the best advertising is here.”
I brought the final prototype and ran it in my dorm room.
Seeing the pen, keyboard, mouse, etc. In the package gave me a new feeling.
It was chosen well, with exactly the design I wanted and of high quality.
‘Production costs were also set really low.’
Of course, it is still about 10 times the price of a cheap refrigerator, so it may be a burden for an average home.
In the case of a smartphone, it was completed at about half the price of a refrigerator.
I think we can supply it sufficiently.
‘Then right away…’
Compared to what I saw a while ago, I looked at the ‘Canvas’ program, which is much more sophisticated and has more functions.
I smiled in satisfaction for a while.
Although it is not perfect yet, it is an image creation and editing tool that provides sufficiently good performance.
‘The best advertisement is the one that shows the good points so that you want to have it.’
In other words, I plan to draw an advertisement for this product with my own hands.
What if a computer system could create a very natural world?
Because the number of people who want to have that will increase.
In fact, there were many items that became popular because of my work.
Most of them were adult products or clothes that were so sexy that it seemed strange.
With similar sensibilities, it would be possible to spread computers and smartphones.
In fact, card games like Inner Marchen.
It’s a type of advertisement that expresses the joy of card games through cartoons and makes you want to play card games, right?
Of course, I didn’t want to sell it as a lottery ticket, so I just put the whole thing in the comic…
Anyway, the advertising effect of my comics is good.
And what if that high-quality work was drawn using an actual computer?
Advertising can also be used as a tool to draw art.
‘If it feels like a full-color cartoon drawn using a computer in a near-future worldview where computers are used for granted…’
It can shock both the content of the work and the technology of the work itself.
Then it will naturally lead to computer advertisements.
That was the development in the direction I wanted.
“Wow, this feels really good.”
Of course, it is more inconvenient than other programs I have used on Earth.
However, considering the development period, the performance is so stable that it is truly amazing.
There are some bugs due to constant updates, but overall it is really well put together.
‘There are a lot of parts that were well done even though I didn’t have to say it.’
Apparently, the people who created the program brought in wizards and trained them.
Many wizards know how to draw.
Because he had a better understanding of the act of drawing than anyone else.
“I think it can be put to practical use.”
Most of the other work to be done during the remaining period has been completed.
If I had to be honest, Rosalia was finishing her thesis.
Well, she told me to leave that part to him and focus on advertising.
Now, for the first time in a while, I can focus on my work.
Since you are actually doing the work, any inconveniences or shortcomings will be more noticeable.
If we provide feedback on all those aspects, at least the Canvas program will develop faster.
What I consider most important is the picture function, so improving this quality was an important issue.
You should try uploading in advance and test the system for uploading and viewing comics or pictures.
Of course, as you actually use it, you will find improvements in many areas other than those just mentioned.
This will result in an overall increase in the stability of the device.
Even if the people who coded this are geniuses.
There may be some parts that are missed or made mistakes, or parts that conflict with codes written by other people.
The QA stage does not exist for nothing.
“Anyway, this might need some rehabilitation.”
I worked on analog rather than digital for a very long time.
Honestly, I felt very awkward.
In particular, it is a full-color comic for the first time in a long time.
“I need to practice some first.”
Anyway, the only settings I have right now are for advertising purposes.
Adding other settings required a lot of thought.
Even if it is for advertising purposes, regardless of that, the work itself must properly depict what I want to depict.
“Hmm, the future worldview.”
In fact, this world has a lot of a futuristic feel to it, rather than a medieval fantasy.
To be exact, it’s a fantasy story mixed with modern culture.
This is because magic is developing so quickly and is well spread.
Right now, luxury carriages are driven by magic attribute, so in effect there are cars.
Taking care of the heating and cooling of the building through thermostats.
We live in an era where food is stored in the refrigerator for a long time, right?
The current emperor cares about the revival of the empire and provides generous support to the development of the magic world.
Now that the war is over, wizards are only focusing on technological development and the announcement of new technologies.
It is not unreasonable for this to happen.
In fact, most of the things I just said were things that happened when I regained my memories of my past life.
In just the past few years, incredibly rapid progress has been made.
In terms of fashion and style, there is an influx of quite sophisticated modern clothing due to the popularity of my comics.
In particular, I feel like I have become incredibly tolerant of exposure.
If you walk outside in the summer, you will see a lot of outfits that you would see at a night game.
It’s noticeably different from the typical fantasy world.
While keeping this in mind, we had to add an appropriate level of SF flavor.
What I’m aiming for is a computer advertisement, so I like it to be not too special in other aspects.
Just try to bring the science fiction feel that was popular on Earth.
Rather than focusing your attention on the computer, the world view itself becomes a strange, otherworldly feeling.
“…School?”
Then something suddenly occurred to me.
It was a reassembly of where I am now.
I had already drawn school material before, and it had created quite a strong trend.
‘Last time it was a magic school.’
In a worldview where only women use magic.
The setting was that the only boy who used magic disguised himself as a woman, went to school, and started a harem.
“Academy, it feels good.”
It looks good to depict the daily life of studying through a computer and communicating through a smartphone.
Considering the format of teaching, it will be easy to explain the worldview.
These days, many wizards come from academies, so they will easily immerse themselves in it.
Even knights go to the academy.
“An academy to learn things that aren’t magic…?”
But ordinary is not good.
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to learn existing things using a computer.
It’s a worldview that feels too much like an advertisement and doesn’t have any strong appeal.
In the first place, as I just said, for both knights and wizards to feel friendly.
It should not be a knight’s class or a wizard’s class.
…Should we include Inner Marchen’s card class?
‘No, we decided to go with the original version.’
Even the expansion pack for Inner Marchen was released not long ago.
The timing is not very good right now.
Because this expansion pack was so large, it seemed like it would take more time to digest it all.
“Teach me to study normally?”
This was an idea that came to me in an instant.
The study learned in this world is basically aimed at killing someone.
These are studies that turn themselves into weapons.
Even magic is actually more useful than recording magic that is helpful in real life.
The training of general magic that increases one’s own fire power is at the level of that wizard.
There is nothing more to say about swordsmanship.
They say that the war is over and the era of peace has come.
Because this is a world where force is still considered important.
It’s an unavoidable way to handle things, but…
‘Conversely, what if what you learn at the academy is not that kind of violence, but a bright and healthy world?
And the story of being involved in something unhealthy in that world and suffering.
What if it’s a story about overcoming that suffering and reaching bright school days?
‘I’m okay…?’
Among the works I saw before, there were quite a few that talked about the importance of teachers.
It’s like a story about a bully teacher who guides and protects his students.
Warm and soft stories.
‘That’s good too…’
I don’t yet have the skills to create this unfamiliar tool in gorgeous full color.
In that case, it is better to simply draw a work with a cozy and warm atmosphere, rather than a rough and elaborate expression.
It will take a lot of time, but it is a genre that I am confident I can draw well even with my current level of skill.
‘There are incidents, and they can certainly be resolved. The foundation is filled with warm daily life…’
And in our daily lives, we naturally use computers and smartphones.
People who have become immersed in that worldview will, without even realizing it, start using computers and smartphones just like them.
…If there is a change in the direction of education, that would be great.
“Sounds like fun.”
As the saying goes, if you can’t avoid it, enjoy it.
Before I knew it, I had reached a point where I was enjoying myself and imagining the impact my work would have.
