To win first place back then, she had seriously studied the top ten games, and 'alahato α' was naturally among them.
Now, hearing Bronya ask, she could naturally elaborate.
First, regarding the game's guidance, I think it's excellent.
Hearing this, Bronya's interest piqued, and her eyes brightened even more.
Although the initial tutorial only taught WASD for movement and jumping, it incorporated more extended operations into the level design.
For example, holding down jump makes you jump higher. I remember there was a small high platform in the first level that you could only reach by holding down jump. This kind of design, where you don't have to say a word but allow players to understand operations within the game, I think is excellent.
I'm impressed you noticed that.
Bronya said in surprise.
Under the shadow of 'to the moon,' these 'stepping stones' of theirs seemed to have become ordinary stones, but if you put these stones in the dark, you would definitely find specks of light on them.
To make it into the top few among hundreds of games, they definitely had their own unique shining points.
After all, it left a deep impression. It made me rediscover the joy of playing games for the first time, and then there was the subsequent guidance...
Then, Houraisan Kaguya lavishly praised the shining points in Bronya's design, making her a little embarrassed. She quickly waved her hand and humbly said, "Actually, it's nothing much. It's just picking up scraps. I referenced a lot of content from Super Mario for these designs. It's not as amazing as you say."
To this, Houraisan Kaguya smiled and shook her head: "Which game nowadays doesn't have the shadow of Super Mario? Ultimately, everyone has borrowed from each other along the way. But some people can make good games, while others will quietly fade into the dust of history. In my opinion, 'alahato α' is a good game worth playing."
At this moment, Bronya suddenly felt that Houraisan Kaguya didn't seem so annoying anymore.
Although she was A Yu's fiancée, she liked her game! Even if she couldn't stop A Yu's philandering in the future, if she lived with someone who understood her, like Houraisan Kaguya, it seemed... it wasn't completely unacceptable?
It had to be better than Elysia, who made them set off fireworks to spice things up for her and A Yu, right?!
Sometimes, whether one resists or not only requires a reason one approves of. Seeing Bronya's gradually relaxed attitude towards her, Houraisan Kaguya's smile deepened.
She had no intention of sowing discord.
She wasn't here to break up this family; she was here to join this family!
Having the experience of fully producing a popular game, Houraisan Kaguya's occasional remarks would make Bronya ponder and resonate. A Yu was too much of a prodigy; every time she chatted with him, it felt like a teacher teaching a student.
Although that kind of play was also good, it wasn't until she met Houraisan Kaguya that she truly understood how joyful it was to communicate with a friend who understood her.
Nangong Yu was originally worried that Bronya would make things difficult for Houraisan Kaguya, but seeing their conversation gradually become more cheerful, he immediately relaxed. He really shouldn't have doubted the social skills of someone who had received relevant education since childhood.
However, in their current state, why did it feel like he was the superfluous one?
Houraisan Kaguya did notice him standing idly by. She quietly reached out and held his palm, giving him a sweet smile.
Before he could think much, he suddenly felt his other hand being held by another warm, small hand. Turning his head, he met Bronya's somewhat chiding and ambiguous gaze.
He could confirm that both of them had reached out in each other's blind spots.
Alright, alright, so this is how we're playing, huh?
Don't tell me, it's actually a bit thrilling, hehe.
As time passed little by little, Kaguya seemed to shed her inhibitions and appeared more relaxed.
The education she received since childhood allowed Kaguya to maintain smooth superficial communication with most people, but when she tried to shed this disguise and show her true self, she found herself deeply fascinated by the feeling of not having to worry too much, discussing things freely like friends.
If she were to live with her husband, Seele, and Bronya in the future, it would definitely be incredibly happy.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that her loss to her husband at the game festival was actually a very fortunate thing; otherwise, she might still be living precariously in that cold family, for that meager freedom.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but grip her husband's warm hand a little tighter.
Click.
The sound of the door opening interrupted the three people's conversation, as Seele walked in carrying a few glasses of juice and freshly made pastries.
"Brother, why didn't you tell Seele when you came up? Seele thought you had gone out."
If she hadn't heard faint laughter from upstairs, Seele would have thought her brother had secretly slipped out with his fiancée.
"Sorry, sorry, Kaguya said she was very interested in games just now, so I brought her up to the studio to have a look and forgot to tell Seele."
Upon seeing Seele, Kaguya and Bronya almost simultaneously let go of their hands, which he found quite regrettable.
"It's fine, Seele was just worried no one would eat the freshly made pastries, but since everyone's here, it's no problem!"
Placing the tray on the middle table, Seele tiptoed and also moved a chair to sit next to her brother.
"Seele, you're finally here."
Before Seele could even sit still, Nangong Yu reached out and pulled her into an embrace.
"What is it, Brother?"
Leaning into Nangong Yu's embrace, Seele asked in a soft, sweet voice.
"Nothing, it's just that those two were so busy chatting they ostracized me; I couldn't even get a word in. If Seele hadn't come, I might have just withdrawn into myself, all alone."
His deliberately playful tone made Seele burst out laughing. She raised her small hand and lightly slapped her brother's shoulder, saying softly, "Brother, you're exaggerating."
This sight filled Kaguya with curiosity. She gradually discovered her husband's mischievous personality hidden beneath his mature exterior, and a light smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.
Bronya, on the other hand, rolled her eyes at him with amusement. He had secretly played some special mini-games with her, yet he deliberately said this to amuse Seele.
"Since everyone's here, Bronya, shouldn't we bring that out and try it first?"
"That?"
Bronya hesitated slightly.
"Yes, that!"
"Are you really going to bring that out?"
"It's fine, let them try the simple ones first, then use that one last."
"Alright, wait for me. I'll get that set up."
This encrypted conversation left Kaguya and Seele completely bewildered until they saw Bronya bring up a somewhat rough game screen, and then they finally understood.
"Although the map hasn't been developed much, some of the game's combat system is ready. Seele, Kaguya, would you like to try it?"
