3 Chapter 2- School and Friends

If Angry birds came out at this day where everyone has it, then surely the game will become very popular, so without further ado, after Tanaka drew the first bird character, he immediately opened a game engine.

*Game Engines are the software used to create games. People don't ‌have to make it code by code with this.

Though this game engine was in his computer, Tanaka was extremely unfamiliar with this game engine. It differed greatly from the past, it was much more advanced and had much more new features, so before Tanaka started, he familiarized himself with it first.

It took quite a while but Tanaka finally got the hang of it. Without further ado he started making the game. He first created a 2D plane, then added the bird character and turned it into an object, after that, he added the gravity feature in the game which is nice because he doesn't have to play with the codes to get the right gravity as he could just adjust it with numbers.

After that, Tanaka added the controls of the game which is the most important, since he is going to go for the mobile platform, he made it much easier to play and smoother. It took him a few hours to finish all of this.

Then after that, it was time to draw the characters and backgrounds, and other objects. They were quite cartoonish and very easy to draw. By the end it was already 10 am when he drew the half of it, still has a lot of work to do.

"Hmm, oh shit, I forgot about school"

Tanaka only realized it when he saw his high school uniform, he still hadn't adapted to his new life so he forgot about school, but anyway, it's much more important to finish drawing the things for the games first, it was just a single day.

"But before that, I'm hungry"

Tanaka rubbed his belly as he felt it grumble, Tanaka stood up and made his way towards the kitchen, he has a family of 5; he has a younger sister and brother, his parents go to work early, they weren't that rich, they can be ‌considered an average family, Anyway, they were but a simple Japanese family.

Since it was already late, the house was practically empty with only Tanaka left, he made his way towards the kitchen table and there he saw the breakfast that was left for him, Tanaka immediately ate it before making his way back towards his room to continue drawing.

By lunch, Tanaka finally finished drawing everything, it was quite faster than he had thought. Tanaka didn't eat his lunch as he continued making the game, he was now in the gameplay trial, in this stage, he would ‌ see if there was some gameplay he had to adjust.

This one took a lot of Tanaka's time as each character had different abilities and speed, Tanaka also had to fix some bugs that he found, even though he had the knowledge from his past, it still wasn't easy to create a game.

In the end, the sun was already starting when Tanaka felt it was all good. He was quite exhausted, but there are still a lot of things to do. Tanaka then felt some activity outside his room and immediately knew that his family was already home.

Tanaka stretched his body before making his way outside.

Tanaka went to the living room and there he saw his father, Komi Masayoshi, he was a handsome middle-aged man wearing glasses. Near him, his two younger siblings were sitting watching television, Shouko and Shousuke.

Just as Tanaka was passing by, it seemed like his little sister noticed him and immediately turned her head towards him. They both stared at each other.

"..."

Tanaka knew most of their family had some trouble speaking or something so he just nodded at Shouko as a greeting before making his way towards the kitchen. Shouko, who saw Tanaka, immediately stood up and followed after him.

Tanaka arrived at the kitchen and there he saw his mother cooking. Her name is Shuuko, the moment she saw Tanaka she immediately rushed towards him.

"Tanaka, why didn't you go to school today? I received a call from your school. Are you sick? Do you not feel good?"

She immediately started checking up on him which made Tanaka feel a little emotional when he saw this.

"No, I'm fine, there was just this contest that I wanted to join in and was rushing to make it"

"Okay, but take care of yourself okay, go take a bath, dinner will be ready soon"

"Okay"

Tanaka nodded but before that, he went towards the refrigerator to get some cold water and drink some, just as he closed the door of the refrigerator, on the other side, his sister came out of nowhere staring at him.

She seemed to be looking at him worriedly, seems like she also knew that he didn't go to school today, Tanaka patted her in the head and smiled.

"I'm okay, don't worry"

*Nods!

Shouko nodded in confirmation.

Tanaka took a bath and felt his fatigue leave and ate his dinner with his family. After that, he didn't go to sleep immediately and continued making the game, what he needed to do now was create levels. Tanaka remembered some levels from angry birds, but not all of them. After all, there were a lot.

So to coup up with this, Tanaka added some of his ideas and by 11 PM, Tanaka decided to stop as he already made about 30 levels, which is still not enough, a single guy can only do this much for now. He was exhausted now and felt sleepy. He also has school tomorrow, he can't skip it since his parents didn't like it.

There are still a lot to do, he also couldn't forget the background music for the game, he might ask the music club for some help with that, and with more levels for the game, he should bring Ishigami for this one since that guy was the one who invited him, it didn't take long for Tanaka to fall asleep.

The next morning, Tanaka was woken up by his little sister Shouko as she shook him hard enough to wake him up. Tanaka woke up and changed to his school uniform before making his way to the kitchen to eat breakfast.

But before he left, he put the files of the game into his USB. Before making his way to school, Tanaka went to an elite academy called Shuchiin Academy. He could enter this elite school for some reason.

The school was quite close and Tanaka arrived in 30 minutes by taking a train. He arrived at his classroom where he immediately sat on his seat, which is ‌at the back of the classroom near the window.

Just as Tanaka sat, the first one to come to him was his friend Ishigami, along with a few more of his friends, Hachiman and Shirogane. They are a group of 4 that go along together.

"Why were you absent yesterday, Tanaka?"

Shirogane immediately asked, he was part of the student council and was an upright guy, he was a good friend.

""I overslept"

Tanaka replied.

"Are you sure you didn't stay up late because you were playing games?"

Hachiman asked. This guy is a little doubtful to everyone, but he is a loyal friend.

"As if I have time to play games, its just I started created a game lately, I already finished about 70% of it"

"Eh? That fast, You just started yesterday right?"

Ishigami was surprised.

"Yeah, did you bring your laptop, go test play it here"

Tanaka threw the USB to Ishigami, who caught it. He then immediately took out his laptop and inserted the game, this one is a package so after Ishigami installed the package, he then transferred it into his phone and installed the game.

It only took a few minutes before the game was ready to play, Tanaka had already completed its menu interface and also level selection.

Hachiman and Shirogane also became interested. They already knew Tanaka wanted to be a game developer, so they were interested in the game he created, Ishigami then transferred it to Hachiman but Shirogane doesn't have a phone so Tanaka let him borrow his phone.

The three then started the game, the game was quite dull because it has no sound effects or BGM, but it seemed like the 3 who were playing were very invested in it, they were so focused that they played all levels, and since it only has 30 levels, it was a cliffhanger for them.

"What? That's it?"

Shirogane, who didn't play that much, exclaimed.

"I told you, it's not done yet. I still have to create a lot of these levels"

Hachiman didn't speak and just looked at Tanaka and the others.

"This is a very addicting game, but I feel like there is still a lot of things missing"

"Yeah, there is no BGM and sound effects, and I haven't added the other characters yet due to it only having 30 levels"

"Eh? Are you going to the music club for the BGM and Sound effects?"

"Yeah, they have complete equipment, so might as well use them. There is no problem, right? President?"

"There is no problem as long as the adviser of the club agrees"

Shirogane nodded but sternly reminded.

"Okay"

Tanaka nodded, they talked about the game a few more minutes before they stopped as the teacher finally have arrived; the class was quite boring for Tanaka as he already learned most of his in his past life, he may not be a genius like Shirogane, he was still quite good with his studies.

Break time, Tanaka and the gang made their way towards the faculty to talk with the music club adviser, her name is Sawaka Yamanaka, she was a fairly young teacher with glasses.

It was quite easy to talk to her since Shirogane was with him. Shirogane has high prestige in school and many teachers trust him.

After that, they made their way towards the clubroom of the music club. There, they met the president of the club, Kaori Miyazono, she has blonde hair and plays violin.

"So what can I help you with?"

Kaori asked as she looked at the boys in front of her, she had a good impression of them because this group is fairly popular.

"Yeah, so I am making a game and I need some help to compose a background music for my game"

Kaori didn't answer immediately and think about it first.

"It's going to be hard to compose a background music for you game, it may take even a week to make one"

"Oh, actually, you don't have to compose one, you just have to play it, I already composed one in my mind but I don't know how to play instruments so maybe we could try feeling it up first , its just basic instruments, it won't be too hard."

"Okay, let's try it first"

Kaori then turned towards her group members, it seems like the music club is full of girls, they have a total of 6 club members and Kaori is the oldest while the rest are 1st years, they were a very cheerful group and talking with them was quite easy.

Tanaka then started humming the BGM of the Angry Birds, this song is very addicting when playing the game, it just goes on and on in your mind when you play the game, just thinking of Angry birds, this BGM will play on someone's mind.

It was simple music and Tanaka had already given them the whole of it, so it only took a few minutes before they got it.

"Good, we can record it later after school if that is okay?"

"Okay"

Kaori nodded.

After that, Tanaka and the gang returned to their class.
