22 Chapter 21- The Wait

(Sorry for not posting again yesterday, I am not in the house so can't gain access to my computer, and I am also being enlightened by the lazy god, anyway, many of you are asking about the appearance of the main character, and I am looking around it, for now, might post it at the next chapter, anyway, thanks for always supporting me, also for the other games that you guys are suggesting, will be done in the future, I will try my best to make this story as interesting as possible so please throw me stones! I will catch them on my sleep!)

2 Games that were unknown in this world but were popular in his past life, though, Clannad was much more popular when it was an anime and Plants Vs Zombies is as popular as Angry Birds, anyway, these games could be considered small games to give his team experience.

Anyway, there are reasons why Tanaka chose these two games, there is actually much better games such as Fate, hearthstone, fall guys, candy crush, Summer time S-ahem, anyway, they are good games but Fate is too much big of a franchise and Hearthstone cards has no worth in this world as it doesn't have World of Warcraft, and fall guys is too much of a big game for now, and candy crush, not really that important to make now.

Though maybe he could release Fate in the future and turn some of its characters into hearthstone, just imagine how much money he could get from that, yes! Money! He may even become a billionaire if that happens, though, he wasn't sure about the saber faces as it was done to milk the characters.

Let's go back to the explanation of the game he chose, Clannad is a very popular story in Tanaka's past life that gave trauma to a lot of anime watchers, no, not because of killing or something that makes you have a mental problem, no!

It's much worse, this story traumatizes you with its loveable story that makes your heart drop at the end of it, and coupled with a freaking song that makes your eyes sweat like a waterfall, its a story you would want to share to others but at the same time keep it for yourself.

Clannad is primarily set in a high school located in a small Japanese city. Clannad follows the life of Tomoya Okazaki, a third-year student who does not take his studies seriously. He hates his city and his everyday routine, while waiting for something that would bring color into his dull life. Always late for class, he is seen as a delinquent by the rest of his classmates who are busy preparing for their college entrance examinations. Needless to say, he does not have too many close friends either. One day, while walking to school, Tomoya passes by a frail girl muttering quietly to herself. Suddenly she exclaims "anpan" and catches his attention. A brief conversation follows and then both resume their walk towards the school.

For the making of this game, Tanaka is going to provide the story and its outline, while the rest will be handled by them, Art club will have to split into two groups for this, one for Clannad and one for Plants vs Zombies.

The Literature Club are in charge of improving the story but they can't change the story line so that was it, Jibril agreed with this as she doesn't know the story yet, but boy oh boy she was in for a ride.

Next is the plant vs zombies, this game was known for its weird game design and funny graphics, its game play is also funny as just like the game title says, a plant against zombies games, you won't know how the game was played unless you have seen it or played it yourself.

It was referenced after defense tower games from Tanaka's past life which became somewhat popular, and also like clash of clans, Plants vs Zombies has a lot of characters, though, not as a lot as Clash of Clans, but since it was quite cartoonish and didn't need to be sophisticated like Clash of clans, it was fairly easy to make.

The game mechanics are also easy, it didn't have to be perfect and slight adjustments are okay, Tanaka also didn't have to make the game levels individually like at Angry Birds as this time he learned his mistake and can actually make levels automatically.

Well, that is for another time, Tanaka let the members chose the game they want to take part in, of course, so that they could choose properly, Tanaka explained the game mechanics and what path it would go on and so.

Soon, the group was now divided, and unsurprisingly, the group was divided by gender, the boys liked the idea of Plants vs Zombies and decided to go with it, they also wanted to play with the zombie and plants designs.

The girls except Nagatoro joined the clannad as they felt the story of clannad is very interesting and they have a soft heart for this kind of games so they chose this.

And yes, Nagatoro has joined the undertale club wanting to follow Naoto, though, it was unknown if she just joined to mess with him or was really interested in video game development.

Anyway, Tanaka gave them seconds chances to change once again but no one wanted to go, and so the game developing was made, Tanaka showed the rough sketches of the clannad characters to the girls and also explained their personalities.

Known Characters:

Tomoya Okazaki - Male Protagonist

Nagisa Furukawa - Central Heroin

Ryou Fujibayashi - Secondary Main Character

And more, they all have their own individual personalities, their own strength and weaknesses, their background stories, all in all, Tanaka gave the full detail about the characters so that the group will be able to make the character as realistic as possible, not by graphics but make them look like they were real people who had their own stories.

The Literature Club also joined in this and they were furiously writing notes as they hear more and more about the characters though they are very frustrated because Tanaka didn't give the full story but just gave some plot lines that should go according to it.

"I want to hear the original story!"

Jibril said as she looked at Tanaka in full seriousness, this guy is considered evil by doing this!

The other girls also nodded in unison as they tried to pressure Tanaka who can only back away and explain to them that this is now their own story but were still adamant to hear the original story from Tanaka as they felt it was much more interesting.

"Alright, I will give the story once you have created the game"

Tanaka can only helplessly smile as he promised to them, he didn't really mind as it was truly a masterpiece.

After having a long talk with the Girls, Tanaka proceeded to the boys who already started working even without his instructions, they had already started designing their characters, Tanaka had already told them earlier that it will be 2D and that Plants will defend while zombies will attack.

Tower Defense games already existed in this world and it was no stranger to many gamers, so once they knew the basic ideas of the game, they already started working, though they were only designing their own characters right now.

And when Tanaka saw their character designs, he couldn't help but laugh out loud as he clutches his stomach.

"What the heck are these designs!?"

"What the hell is a whip eggplant? And what is that? Sucking Banana!? What the F-puhahaha"

Tanaka laughed continuously as they embarrassedly erased their designs, actually, they were just playing their designs and when they looked at it again, they really went overboard, especially the Whip Eggplant as it looked like a d*ck holding a whip, it even has a cowboy design.

Don't even get to the Sucking banana made by Ishigami, it looked like a certain adult toy that Tanaka didn't want to say.

Tanaka didn't know what to do with his mood right now, he was felling a little sad telling the story of clannad earlier now he was laughing his ass off as he saw their character designs, Tanaka didn't know wether to laugh or cry, but it certainly lifted his mood.

Though their characters are weird, the design is actually quite good and has a lot of potential, anyway, Tanaka introduced some known characters to them such as the pea-shooter, the sunflower, the zombie, the cone zombie, the bucket zombie, etc.

With the designs he gave, the boys now had a certain understanding with the character designs and they started thinking of their own characters that they will put into the game, Tanaka didn't mind and let them be, there was nothing wrong with adding a lot of stuff into Plants vs Zombies, though he needed to cut out the absurd ones, it was still fun to do it with them.

And so with that, the Undertale club was finally active once again and everyone now has their own project, unlike in Clash of Clans where they only have to help when Tanaka needed something to be done.

And while they are also in full swing, Angry Birds was finally back to Tanaka and let him earn some money out of it, though, mostly came from advertisement, but Tanaka cut the advertisements a little bit as he plans to let Clash of Clans take the advertising slot.

As of now, Angry birds has a total of 320 million downloads, globally, which was a privilege given to it as it won the contest, it became sensational and Tanaka already received a lot of contracts from but Tanaka ignored most of those.

Ishigami's toy factory have already started manufacturing the Angry Bird plushy toys and was already being released all around japan, and as with Angry Birds popularity, it became popular as soon as it came out and became a hot commodity for the past few days and won't die down for a few more months.

It was very popular among students and kids, and some people who love collecting plush toys, and as the developer of this game, Tanaka earned hefty money from this, though still far from paying his debts to Shinomiya, he was surely getting close to it.

And just like that, Clash of Clans has finally been released at the Game Store, and as it was a special day today, everyone stopped working for now and downloaded the game and also gave their own reviews.

Masuzu: "Hopefully with this it becomes more popular"

Ishigami ''You underestimate the game Masuzu! You don't have to hope because it will be! This is what my gamer instincts is telling me"

Chika: "That's right! This will surely become popular! I bet on it!"

Shinomiya: "Why is the download still zero?"

Shinomiya was looking at the statistics of the game and saw that nothing have changed, everything was as it was when the game was released, the others also looked and was confused.

Tanaka: "Oh you have to refresh the site, just swipe down and it will be updated"

Shinomiya followed Tanaka's instructions and swiped down, soon, the screen turned white before it returned back and now the numbers on the screen have changed.

"Oh, it has 18,000 downloads"

Shinomiya exclaimed with a little hint of surprise.

Ishigami: "What!?"

Hachiman: "18,000 downloads in 5 minutes? Isn't this very popular?"

Chika: "Its not very popular! Its super popular!"

Tanaka: "Don't get excited yet, the real statistics comes when we see the player retention rate"

Masuzu: "Retention rate?"

Tanaka: "Yes, its how many players will stay playing the game"

Quite frankly, Tanaka is very nervous right now and didn't know what will happen, unlike in his past life where Clash of Clans became popular because the games were still at its very infancy and the technology was still slowly developing.

This world was already more advanced from that time and people may not like the real time waiting for the game and that they will not have a lot of time, there is also the graphics, though, its quality was already comparable to the th11 update from his past life, he was not sure if it suits the tastes of the players, not only that, there are more things that bugged Tanaka's mind.

But a hand patted his shoulder which made Tanaka flinch and when he saw Masuzu smiling at him, Tanaka took a deep breath and calmed himself, then his mind became clearer and confidence he was missing started coming back, why is he getting nervous for?

This is the best games from his past life, if they don't then surely this world has problem, and its not like a small setback will make him give up his dreams, these kind of things are normal in the Gaming industry, just became you spent a lot of time in games and made it something that you envisioned, it doesn't necessarily means that it will be liked by others.

Game industry has a lot of risks than it looks like but also high return when its successful.

Tanaka then turned on the flat screen tv installed at the club room and changed it to the real time update of the Clash of Clans status, as of right now, it has 15,000 online players and was rising at a very fast speed.

Average time spent as of now is 6 minutes, and a few people has already logged off but it was minimal, but the surprising thing about this game is that there is no one who have uninstalled it, which makes it a high chance of coming back.

Though, what they are seeing now is not important, an hour later, that was what shows everything about this game.

"Now we do the waiting game"

Tanaka muttered.
