Lucifer and 72 demons, subjugate them for the contract. The ga began with such a premise, but Hansus heart wavered every ti he encountered a new character. It couldnt be helped. The characters were crafted with such strength in design, and every demon he t poked at Hansus conscience in their own ways.
In the demo, there were a total of 14 demons. Among them, there were four demons that particularly caught Hansus heart. Apart from Lucifer and Paimon, there were four more to choose from.
Ugh, dont look at like that! Im nervous, my stomach!
Marbas trembled, holding onto her belly as the surrounding gazes focused on her.
Lucifers scent. The one chosen by her! I will protect you! So that the other cursed won wont bother you
Andras, with unfocused eyes, blushing and giggling, said with a smile.
Geez! The reason I wrapped my body tightly is because theres nothing inside! I know everything! Right? Lucifers
Sitri, covering her eyes and trembling, completed the trio of demons that simply appealed to Hansus character preferences.
If asked whether that was enough, Hansus answer was Yes. Although they had sowhat clich character traits, it ant the anticipation that users could have while looking at the characters.
There was a character standing at the extre end. Agares.
You pathetic human! You dare to make a contract with without knowing the topic? Disgusting! Filthy!
Agares, with sharp-eyed smiles and mischievousness peeking through her fangs, was a girl character. To explain further, she was a character known as sugaki, always maintaining a provocative attitude and spitting disrespectful words to the protagonist.
Hansu felt dissatisfied when he initially contracted with Agares. It was because the character lacked a certain boldness. That was what a sugaki character was supposed to be.
However, as the relationship with Agares deepened, imagining how the relationship hierarchy would be ford beca quite enjoyable. There was a character standing at the extre end. Agares.
He was about to remove Agares from the roster in frustration. Thats when Agares, the characters true nature, was revealed.
Do you really want to cancel the contract? If I did sothing wrong, Ill fix it. I wont say bad things from now on. So, please
Stuttering and tearfully speaking, Agares appearance was like an angel looking up at the protagonist. And with the image of Agares hand grabbing the protagonists robe, Han-su felt a strange sense of satisfaction. It diluted the previously disliked aspects of her character.
Hansu sighed. This was one more layer of thinning the previously disliked aspects.
Hansu faced a decision and pressed N. He decided to observe a little more.
T-Thank you! Ill do well from now on! Yeah! I wont say bad things
Agares, smiling brightly and clinging, looked innocent. The system window appeared.
Agares affection level increases by 3.
Hansu realized. It was a special gimmick! In the ga, if certain actions were taken, an Easter egg would be triggered. Han-su confird if this applied repeatedly by repeatedly displaying the contract termination alarm.
The conclusion was clear. Up to the second ti, Agares apologized, but from the third ti onward, she fell into sadness. The affection level decreased by -1 each ti.
Hansu checked other characters contract termination events. The conclusion drawn was, Ah! All of the characters have a contract termination event?
Furthermore, the types of Easter eggs triggered by displaying the termination alarm were quite diverse.
Among them, one of the most peculiar ones was Andras.
Contract termination is canceled.
Along with the announcent, the system alarm buzzed, and Andras lines were displayed.
Hehe, even if its just a joke, I wont let you do that.
It had a creepy charm.
Yes, Andras had a gimmick called Once contracted, cannot be terminated, in line with the character type known as Yandere.
Hansu sighed with satisfaction.
This is it a dating ga?
Then, what had I been doing until now?
At the mont Han-su squeezed the controller, he heard soone shout, Tis up! and was pulled back into reality. Despair lood over Hansus face.
Huh? Huh? Why?
It was an unintentional question, but Hansus rationality provided an answer.
The G-STAR booth had assigned play tis for individuals. Despite the Demons Relic booth having a size of 80 seats, the line seed endless, stretching far into the distance.
Hansu trembled with regret.
Ah, it seems like I havent even finished half of it.
He was only able to acquire eight out of the fourteen characters presented in the demo. He also regretted not being able to properly experience the combat concept. Above all, he hadnt fully understood the gimmicks of the characters he already obtained.
Why is it ending now!
Today, Hansus world collapsed.
However, there was one piece of good news for him.
As soon as G-STAR is over, the demo version will be distributed for free. Oh, and were planning to release a webtoon, so please look forward to it!
A Korean staff mber approached and announced.
Han-sus world began to shine again.
He stood up and turned on his smartphone.
Hansu the King: I found the best life ga. Demons Relic is a god, and Cheon Yeonho is incredible. No argunt accepted.
He eagerly awaited the end of G-STAR.
* * *
Its a good sign. If you see the endless line in front of the booth, theres no other way to describe it.
Wow, dont we need more staff for this?
In response to Han Seorims question, I replied, Ive already contacted the headquarters. About ten more will co tomorrow.
Apart from safety managent, there was an absolute shortage of staff. The photo zone in front of the booth, where cosplayers were present, was so crowded that one could squeeze in and die, and the line waiting for Demons Relic was like an ant colony, filling up a considerable space in the venue.
It wasnt like this during Hellic. There could be various reasons, but the most obvious one was
AAA-grade Cute Girl Ga.
Considering the high loyalty of subculture users, it made sense that their interest in this ga was quite high. I looked at Han Seorim for a mont.
To be precise, I looked at Han Seorims smartphone. She was flicking through the community reactions with her fingers.
It was the users who had already visited the booth, praising it and sharing related information.
At that mont, Han Seorim asked, But, Sunbae
Yes?
Isnt the free demo distribution going too far? Still, you could sell it for a few thousand won.
Its free because we need to lower the entry barrier.
Huh?
Demons Relic is a ga that needs to expand as an IP business. We need to focus on creating a fandom rather than imdiate sales. The number of leads for increased sales for the official release in the future.
Yeonho stood up.
Where are you going?
I will go get sothing to drink? Do you want anything?
No.
Really?
.
Coke.
Han Seorims eyes flashed with bloodshot veins.
I quickly ran away.
G-STAR continued like that.
What I had been thinking about all along was the marketing direction for Demons Relic
.
First, we need to create the second and third demos based on the demo version.
Setting aside other marketing activities, creating the ga itself was necessary for building the ecosystem.
The 14 demons revealed in this demo version play leading roles in guiding the in-ga main story.
In other words, these characters take on a protagonist-like position in the chapters within the ga.
However, how could we create a character market with only fourteen out of seventy-two for the release?
At the sa ti, how could we introduce all seventy-two characters at once?
The reason for dividing it into demo versions was because there was a need to make users familiar with the characters and generate interest in the ga.
People are quite conservative.
The ti it takes to accept new information is longer than one might think, and the ti needed to beco attached to it is even longer.
So, rather than releasing all 72 demons at once, expanding the demo sequentially to make users recognize the characters seed like a much more beneficial approach.
External promotion would also proceed in line with this.
A webtoon or an art book Yes, lets release illustrations and scripts too.
Revealing fragnted information about the ga one by one would allow users to speculate about the world and characters of Demons Relic.
Creating anticipation by saying, Characters like this will appear in the future, is the key.
The detailed direction would be decided by Yang Gilsang, but I couldnt stop thinking about the big picture.
It was at that mont.
Huh?
I t soone in front of the vending machine.
President Cheon Yeonho?
Are you the NQ person I t before?
Oh, you rember!
Kim Seonwoo.
In my past life, he was my closest friend, and in this life, he was a planning team mber from NQ I t once at an izakaya.
The guy who gave the nickna art fanatic.
Congratulations! The response to this ga seems really good
He spoke in a friendly manner.
Typical of him.
A person who always smiled in front of everyone, maintaining dignity until the end.
Once again, I felt a strange emotion creeping up in my silent emotions.
Had I truly emptied everything?
Ignoring the montary doubt, I replied.
Thats too much. NQs booth is doing quite well too.
It wasnt a lie.
Still, for a new ga from one of the top ga companies in the country, its impact was not insignificant.
NQs booth was quite crowded, even though it was nothing compared to Demons Relic.
However, Kim Seonwoos expression was not particularly good.
The evaluations are a bit
He chuckled awkwardly.
I understood.
That ga, I too had participated in the project as an employee in my past life.
Co to think of it, we beca friends during that project.
I looked at Kim Seonwoo with the vending machine as my backdrop.
There was no answer in his bright face.
Now that I think about it, he never shared his deep stories with .
Sure, Ill check it out.
Oh, wait!
Kim Seonwoo, trying to stop from leaving, grabbed my arm.
He was just a regular guy.
There was no enemy in front of , and he was as dignified as anyone could be.
Once again, I felt a strange warmth in my silent emotions.
I answered with that thought pushed to the back of my mind
.
Ill really check it out.
Oh, thank you! Good luck with the rest of the event! Oh, you should take a drink!
Got it.
As I turned to leave, I encountered G-stars chairman again.
Looking at the bustling crowd, my worries disappeared.
When I returned to the booth, the atmosphere was particularly lively compared to before.
Hey, whats going on?
An idol ca.
?
You know, that girl. Yuki? Yuka? The one with the runny nose.
Oh.
When I raised my head, I saw her.
Minami Yuka, a forr idol who now played gas with a cheerful smile, and behind her, Yang Gilsang, who seed to be jumping up and down.
Soon, Yuka stood up from her seat.
Our eyes t, and at that mont, I felt a warm gaze.
It was from Yang Gilsang.
Director Gilsang! I am a fan!
It seed that Yuka really liked Demons Relic.
Do you plan to review it on your broadcast?
Haha! Oh, speaking of that, could we stream the demo version too?!
If youre willing, wed appreciate it.
Minami Yuka.
As of the winter of 2015, she had 70,000 followers on her channel.
In other words, an influencer with 70,000 subscribers in the subculture community would feature the demo version.
We did it! Please watch the live broadcast! Its in two days!
Yuka left with her bouncy steps.
On the last day of G-STAR, Demons Relic concluded the event with great success.
The next day in Seoul.
The demo version has been uploaded.
Now it was ti to see the results.
