At first, the staff members are against it, but later agree to develop it after being persuaded by the protagonist's enthusiasm. Then a prototype is completed, but it's never good on the first try and he has to be re-done from scratch. After the release date is set and the game completed, the protagonist is confident about the quality of the game but worried if the audience will embrace.
