AeroSoft 2020: Takes America (Aerohou Project 2)
Due to the popularity of how the AeroSoft dream rocketed off
to stardom, I might as well tell you on how AeroSoft went to take on the larger
yet riskier global gaming market.
“it’s ready.” said Nitori Kawashiro.
“The new console?” said Trevor.
“Yes, it is, Mr. ‘PC Gaming Master Race!’” I said mockingly.
It was about five months before E3 2020, E3 being one of the
largest video game conventions to ever exist. The Eighth generation of video
game consoles were pretty much on the way out. Nintendo had released their
Ninth generation contender: The Fusion.
The kappa motioned us into the
hardware lab. There it was, in a stately manner, the final version of the Super
Mega Drive 2. “Here is it, the Super Mega Drive 2.” Nitori announced to the
group.
The Super Mega Drive 2 looked like an
original PlayStation with a CD drive (the kind you would find in a computer
tower) thrown on. But it used HVD’s (Holographic Versatile Discs), so it could
hold up to 2 Terabytes of data. The black console practically gleamed in front
of us.
Yukari was asleep in the recreation
room; I went in to wake her up. Just in time before some of the more immature
workers were about to draw something phallic on the side of her cheek.
“Hmmm..what?” she said, waking up.
“The SMD 2, it’s ready and I thought
you would want to see it.” I said.
“Maybe later.” Yukari said before gapping
herself away, presumably somewhere where she could sleep.
We’ve had our Headquarters in Natick
for a while now, the old one in Gensokyo had been demoted to a company branch,
and I’m still in charge of it. The Gensokyo branch has only one R&D
facility (The Natick HQ has four) and a new warehouse for keeping stock of
games and consoles.
Soon, it was E3. We were last, just
after Microsoft. There was a pungent feeling of unfeigned confusion within the
crowd upon hearing about us. Finally, it was my time to go on stage and tell
the world about AeroSoft.
The patrons enter the giant room
with the stage in front, it was dark. Then the lights came on, showing a
cardboard wall decorated with the names of companies that at one point in time,
made consoles. An instrumental of ‘Wrecking Ball’ came on. Then I said the
phrase “I came like a Wrecking Ball!”
I rode a large ball and chain with AeroSoft’s logo printed on
it. The large black ball destroyed the cardboard. After the little stunt, I
noticed that Remillia was there. “How’s the show so far?” I asked.
“I can’t think of anything to describe it.” Remillia
responded.
“Well, this is just the beginning!” I proclaimed to the
vampire aristocrat.
I came back on stage, after the
boxes were cleaned up. I had the odds in my favor. Sony’s PlayStation 5 is
clinging onto its’ aging Blu-Ray format and Microsoft’s Xbox Next is using just
digital downloads.
“Thank you for coming here today!” I
greeted the audience.
“Here at AeroSoft, we think that
video game business is not about how much detail you can put into your UHD
graphics or how big they are, its’ about overall quality and good gameplay.” I
added, to a crowd that was growing concerned.
“Don’t think of our new console as
new way to play Call of Duty, think of it as device that can achieve the
highest of your fantasies. We don’t have a specific demographic to sell to.” I
said to the crowd, who was disappointed at this point.
“We aim to provide the best of
gaming, either if your nerd or a jock. White or Black, Hispanic, Asian or
Native American, if you’re gay or heterosexual, if you’re a male or female.” I
raved.
“Our console is for the hard
workers, the hobbyist, the husband, the wife, the otaku fanatic, the Super Mega
Drive 2 IS the people’s console!” I finished.
The audience started clapping
wildly. The rest of the show was spent showing off the technical prowess and
the games.
“Our console will be on store shelves
internationally this coming year!” I finished.
I was in the convention center’s back room with Remillia when
some ardent investors came to us. They wanted to invest in my company, but they
weren’t sure if I was going to release a video game console or an electronic UN
diplomat that you’d plug into a TV. I reassured them by saying it was a
marketing campaign that would probably blow over in a couple months.
Back in Gensokyo, I announced the
console. It was held at AeroCon 135 (Gensokyo Lunar Calendar year). It was held
at the Scarlet Devil Mansion, or at least on the ground of the building. I said
that support for the Super Mega Drive would continue but first party support
for games will dwindle. However, I’d promised everybody that I’ll release an
add-on that would play all the SMD games on the Super Mega Drive 2.
I handed over Reisen the development
kits. “Why do we need this?!” she exclaimed, “The SMD was fine enough!”
“Ah Ms. Inaba, the Super Mega Drive
2 has more features and is a much more powerful device.” I explained.
Reisen just glared at me as she left
AeroCon with the dev kits in hand. I felt that once the SMD 2 comes out, I’d
prove my point with the moon rabbit in question.
The AeroSoft HQ in Natick, MA was
booming! All four R&D departments were busy programing and designing our
launch titles. I had called a meeting with the board of directors. “I’d like to
mention that we are now allocating 90% of our resources to the SMD 2” I proudly
announced to room of humans and youkai.
“How better is the SMD 2 compared to
my gaming PC.” Trevor said, in a rather sophomoric way.
“Does your PC have HVD support and a
proprietary Wi-Fi network.” I answered his quarry.
“Is it upgradable for new graphics
cards AND water cooled!” Trevor abhorred me and my console.
“No, but my so called ‘peasant
potato’ isn’t about an egotistical stubborn power contest unlike your ‘PC
Gaming Master Race!’” I angrily retorted.
“SHUT UP!” Yukari yelled, and promptly stood up from her
chair.
The room went silent, Remillia looked at her in astonishment and Michael
Scotton just sat lowly in his chair, as if he were trying to hide under the
table. Yukari grabbed for a spell card and glared visiously at Trevor. Trevor
crossed his arms and looked to his side.
“Now c’mon, the Super Mega Drive 2
is going to be released in 17 months from now!” Michael spoke up.
“We have to work together if this
going to work out properly!”
“He was a point you know” added
Remillia.
“Okay, you two have a point.” I said,
giving into an Aesop you’d find in a cartoon.
“What do we have for multiplat’s?” I
started.
“We have Grand Theft Auto 7, and
Assassin’s Creed 12 and 13.” Trevor said.
“Anything else?”
“No, you pretty much pissed Activison
off and well, anybody who makes FPS games.”
“Damn, any other third party support?” I asked.
“Other than Eientei Studios?” Remillia butted in.
“Uhhhh…no, third party developers NOT from Gensokyo!” I
clarified.
“Ubisoft is interested in us, Blizzard enjoyed our E3
presentation, and then there’s SEGA, Bandai Namco Games, Bungie, Retro Studios,
Capcom, and Rockstar Games.” Michael read from his report.
“We’ll probably get more when this puppy comes out.” I
responded to the report.
“How are things on the Gensokyo side of things?” I asked.
“No one likes how your simply
replacing the Super Mega Drive and they’re questioning its power.” Yukari said.
The omnipotent youkai was right.
While no one elsewhere in the world has heard much of the SMD, Gensokyo is
holding on tight to the obsolete piece of machinery. I had to remind them, that
it’s only 90% focus on the SMD 2, and there still is 10% on the Super Mega
Drive.
The rest of the year flew by. The
Super Mega Drive 2’s release date was fast approaching, a select number of
shops in Gensokyo have been stocked with units, ready to sell at a moment’s
notice. My speech at E3 was poignant and I didn’t even have an inkling of how
meaningful my spontaneous words meant to people.
I was having an interview with
Forbes magazine (they still print those) and asked what if I had a nickname or
something from my uniqueness in the industry, I noticed Yukari talking to Ran
in the other room, my eyes drifted towards Ran. “Uhhh…The Kitsune on Overbrook
Terrace” I said, referencing the ‘Wolf on Wall Street’.
Soon the day came; the Super Mega
Drive had 13 launch titles and sold off the shelves during the holiday rush.
The same was said in Gensokyo, albeit with a feeling of being cheated. The
cheated feeling soon went away as soon as they loaded one of the games.
“Ah ha! We sold over 15 million
units!” Trevor exulted.
“But that’s just the Christmas rush,
we got to wait a couple months if people still want our products” I said,
doubtfully.
Ran told me to cheer up and gave me
a cup of sake. “To AeroSoft!” I toasted.
“To AeroSoft!” Everyone else said.
Glasses clinked and we drank. I had
to answer phone calls from major retail companies about shortages of SMD 2
units; I reassured them that new units would come in by next week.
The next year saw a jump in AeroSoft’s
international market share. We went up 40% and beat Nintendo as top company. We
stood at 57%. One day I had to address to two of my more deviant workers.
“You can’t be selling drugs on
company property!” I said bluntly.
“But the guys in R&D smoke grass
all the time!” one of them said.
“But they use what they bring in!
And you two are…FIRED!” I yelled.
“We’ll take our revenge on you!
You’ll see!” the other on said before spitting on my nameplate that was on the
desk.
I didn’t take them seriously until
that fateful summer party. It was summer of 2021, and I held a big party for
the top people of my company. The party was going along decently until everyone
noticed the bowl of Kool-Aid I made. Needless to say, pretty much all of us
drank it. But someone had laced it with something. I can’t remember much about
what happened after we all drank the tainted punch. I do remember what happened
AFTER the party.
I woke up in my bed, I don’t know
how I got there but I felt rested and that was okay. I went to stretch my arm
when I felt something or rather someone, especially when I heard a voice “Nē,
anata no ude o oriru! (Hey, get your arm off!)”.
I turned over and saw…Patchouli? We
both jumped when we saw each other. It was probably the most awkward moment I’ve
had for years. We must’ve looked at each other for five or ten minutes straight
before I went downstairs.
It was a total mess. Remillia
somehow got duct taped to the ceiling by her wings. Yukari was asleep so
nothing unusual there, except she was in the neighbor’s tree, luckily she was
well concealed so no one ever knew the Gap Youkai was sleeping in that tree.
Ran, had to leave early to deal with Chen but came back to help me deal with
damage control. Not to mention that Meling, the Scarlet Devil Mansion’s
gatekeeper was at the front door (Sakuya threw a coulpe kinves at her to
prevent Meling from entering the house, Sakuya was found in the room where all
my old games are, with the Atari 2600 left on.). Meiling claimed to have
noticed some strange activity going on across the street, with two men and a
small plastic bag.
“Was the job a success?” said a man
in the darkness.
An old basement with a wall covered
in news articles about AeroSoft and a folding table with maps and models of the
Metrowest area.
“Yes, the product was administered.”
Said one of two former AeroSoft employees.
“Soon, the drugs will send that
troublemaker into greed and addiction like the ‘Wolf on Wall Street!’” the
mysterious man said before letting out a small laugh.
The man threw a dart at the picture
of the company’s owner, Anatasios Frank Topham. “No one would ever take me
seriously after that recalcitrant debacle you’d call a court case!”
“But sir, remember the plan?” the
second former employee responded.
“Yes…We must act accordingly and all
above, fast”
The three men laughed at the fact
they’ll send the gaming entrepreneur packing or even better…his grave.
The Super Mega Drive 2 was the
bestselling console of its generation. Third party support was extremely strong
and still sold well when its competitors released their consoles. In Gensokyo,
everyone was impressed at the improvements the device had over its predecessor.
Even Reimu Hakurei gave in and owned one these puppies (it was a gift from her
friend, Marisa Kirisame).
Some say that when AeroSoft first
appeared in Gensokyo, it helped to create a long period of time without any
youkai incidents. Until two years later.
Two years had passed, it was
currently the year 2024. AeroSoft experienced major growth during that period
of time. To transport people and items between the HQ in Natick and the branch
in Gensokyo, Nitori had to invent a special machine an artificial gap if you
will. I was dating the librarian from the Scarlet Devil Mansion at the time this
happened.
Someone managed to reverse engineer
the proprietary Wi-Fi signal the SMD 2 used (it’s the only type of Wi-Fi
connection that can penetrate the Great Hakurei Barrier). That same person
managed to get the location of Yukari’s home through the Wi-Fi and broke into
the AeroSoft HQ building.
Luckily no one was home when that
man burned down the Yakumo household. The burning of Yukari’s home created
uproar among the other youkai. This would defiantly affect my business as a
good chunk of income came from Gensokyo (because there is a strong lack of a
centralized government, so there is no income tax unlike America). In the
morning I received a letter:
Dear, whom it may concern.
Your time is nigh. If you don’t give up your
Company and pay me five billion dollars, you’ll
Pay the ultimate price for you and your foreign
Buddies.
Not entirely Sincere,
Dr. Edward Cohen.
“I guess people can hold grudges for that long.” said Trevor.
“No, I didn’t know that?” I said, sarcastically.
“Oh c’mon! Besides, what is going to do to you and the guys
from Gensokyo anyway?” Trevor said.
I didn’t really take Dr. Cohen’s letter seriously, until a
week later. We had heightened security, not because we had a handheld device
being developed but rather the chance of someone breaking in and using the
artificial gap machine. The cameras
caught three men breaking in and using the machines, only to come back within
the next two hours. What they did was amazing.
Remiu Hakurei went to check on her donation box at her
shrine. It was always empty but I usually leave something along the lines of a
check in there. She opened the box and what looked like a tin can jumped out
and exploded in her face. Remiu was caught off guard and was sent flying
through the front door. The sound of splintered wood and ripped paper followed
the ear piercing bang. She was found unconscious by Marisa.
Meiling Hong was guarding the entryway to the Scarlet Devil
Mansion when she found a box. She opened to find a car battery hooked up to a
pressure cooker. Needless to say, she was found by Sakuya. Both she and Reimu
were quickly sent to Eientei to be seen by Eirin Yagokoro.
We saw Dr. Cohen in the security
footage but we couldn’t tell who the other two guys were. Until Trevor used the
company’s worker database to find out it was the two guys I fired for selling
drugs on AeroSoft property.
The news spread and I was called
upon by Remillia to discuss the matter. Yukari and Remiu where there (Remiu had
around 47% of body covered in banages). The mood of the room was ominous.
“We have talked it over and decided
that you might be the cause of these recent events.” Started Remillia.
“No thanks to you, I nearly got
killed by own donation box” said Reimu bitterly.
Yukari said nothing; she was the
only one who wasn’t putting the blame of two bombings on me. Then I went and
proved my point.
“If you take me and AeroSoft out and
away from Gensokyo…” I began.
“You’ll take away the distractions
the youkai use to prevent each other from killing each other or doing something
that would have a negative effect on everyone else…” I continued
“Also, AeroSoft is Gensokyo only corporation. Gensokyo would
experience its first economic recession and almost everything would go to hell!
Furthermore, if any of AeroSoft’s technology get into the hands of anyone in
this dystopian hellhole that is Gensokyo’s future. This war will turn global,
not even the military of my homeland could stand up to your spell cards.” I
said stunning Reimu.
I had proved my point, Gensokyo
would turn into a glorified hellhole. Youkai could escape through the
artificial gaps and kill off the outside human population.
“Besides, I have tabs on the
terrorists who dare tried to convert my
company and your home into a flaming
wreck!”
“All I ask is that at least one of
you would help me expunge these no-goodniks.” I suggested.
“Fine I’ll help you.” Said Reimu.
It was night when we approached the
dilapidated building. Me and Reimu hid in the series of bushes lining the
bleached, grass laden parking lot. Reimu went ahead, gohei in hand.
“Nobody’s here.” Remiu pointed out.
“Did you check the basement lights?”
I rebuted.
We sneaked to the bulkhead when we
heard voices.
“The bombs kill anyone?” said one
voice
“No sir.” Said another voice,
meekly.
“The drugs didn’t work and the bombs
didn’t work! Do we really need to extirpate both him and that foreign so called
‘fantasy land’ he gets his allies from!” boomed the previous voice.
Remiu summoned these two yin-yang
orbs and shot up the bulkhead door and we rushed into the musty basement.
“FREEZE!” I yelled.
“One wrong step and the miko next to
me will end you!”
“So you finally came to ruin my
plans for revenge” said Dr. Cohen.
“Why did you bomb the Hakurei Shrine
and the Scarlet Devil Mansion?” I asked.
“Remember that court session? Long
ago.” He started
“After your blonde friend bribed me,
everyone either ridiculed me for being cheap or distrusting me for being
corrupt. Everyone started treating me differently; even the towns slowly gave
my school less and less money. Fewer students came; the Resident Program became
largely redundant. All because of you, you ended my known life.”
“But there was no given verdict, the
judge was drunk and…” I rebutted.
“And I’m going to end yours!” Cohen
interrupted
“But it wasn’t my fault!” I said.
He took out a Desert Eagle and
started to shoot. Reimu jumped in front and used the orb beside her to shoot
back at him. The wooden beam above collapsed over us and the basement caved in
and we both escaped with minor scratches.
When the police came and the debris got cleaned up, they only found the
injured body of one of the two former employees. Meaning that the other one and
Dr. Cohen are in hiding.
At E3 2025, I announced the release
of the Pocket Drive, a Super Mega Drive reduced to the size of the original
Gameboy Advance. AeroCon as at Eientei in 2025 and Reisen was finally no longer
bent over having to develop for a system that she thought was “Too demanding”.
The Pocket Drive was released in
2026 with overly positive reception, even beating Nintendo’s dominance in the
handheld gaming sector. I proposed to Patchouli during a trade show when I
demonstrated a new game and I had intentionally modified the game to pop the
question as well as pushing the gameplay and technologic capabilities of the
SMD 2. Someone took a video of it and blew up on YouTube (since all the people
who did let’s play videos lost almost all their popularity during the
“Pewdiepie Crash of 2019”).
Of course I probably didn’t know
that the more violent events of the past couple years was foreshadowing things
to come. The integrity of AeroSoft and Gensokyo being threatened by forces that
don’t like us in the least, there’s the point that Reimu pointed out was that
the peace was too reliant on AeroSoft.
Of course, I’ll leave that for next
time. On behalf of me, Gensokyo, and the guys at AeroSoft, Keep your stick on the
ice. –A. Frank Topham Senior

The Completely True Story of AeroSoft's History (Aerohou Project 1)
The year: 2028,18 years since years since the founding of AeroSoft, then called Aero Games. Started off a pirated version of Gamemaker 8 and a couple of YouTube tutorials, which was 2010. In 2012, the company was renamed to AeroSoft. Of course, we're not gonna talk about those early days of nostalgia. Instead, we will discuss the story of how AeroSoft went from small to big in just five years.
The date was December 13th 2014, I woke up at two o'clock in the morning, nausea as usual. As I was chewing on some gum, I heard footsteps and quiet hushed talking. I sneaked into the kitchen, and turned on the lights.
There in front of me were two surprised women, both dressed strangely, one of them had what appeared to be nine fox tails coming from behind. The three of us stared at each other for what seemed for hours. Until I asked "Who and what are you two doing here." I said, gum to the side of my mouth.
The two women obviously had other intentions, but instead of escaping (I expected for them to jump out the backdoor or some random window) they offered me an opportunity. They leave and keep this event as a secret, or return with them and giving up my life at home. I chose the latter.
I took my computer, hard drive, several boxes of chai, any iDevices that I owned, wallet, and all required medication (sleeping aid and liver chelators), and the Lego model of what would become the "Super Mega Drive".
I said that I was ready and to my surprise one of them opened a gap, a to a place, a land severed off from the modern world, a land called Gensokyo. This had to be the least feasible thing today, and it was only 2:20 in the morning. If only I knew what was to come.
Through the gap I arrived at the woman's house. The woman introduced herself as Yukari Yakumo and the woman with the fox tails, Ran.
Gensokyo was a realm unlike any other. Sealed away by the Great Hakurei Barrier, is where human and youkai co-exist. The local youkai however, range on a varying scale of how dangerous they are, since some of them eat humans. There were things called Spell Cards which are special cards that were either used for offense or defense, involving something called danmaku. Also, apparently Gensokyo itself is located somewhere on the outskirts of Kyoto, so there's that.
I temporarily lived in the human village, for about a year. I had to redress AeroSoft for its new home. I slowly learned about the land, but I found out that there was an almost non-existent gaming industry. Save for the various things that filtered through the barrier and Yukari's gaps.
Six months later, I need some investment for getting AeroSoft afloat. I heard about the Scarlet Devil Mansion. I also needed to start figuring out how to use Spell Cards. So I went to this magician named Marisa Kirisame. Needless to say, she is kind of a kleptomaniac and she decided to bring me along to the mansion's library to steal some books.
I ended up meeting the librarian Patchouli, then the head maid, Sakuya Izayoi. Patchouli was pissed at Marisa for breaking into her library for the third time this week. I asked who was the person who lived here, specifically who owned the mansion. So Sakuya took me to her mistress, Remilia Scarlet.
"I have something that you might like." I said, which surprised both women, mostly Sakuya.
"...Go on." Replied Remilia,
I promptly pulled out my computer bag that I kept safe under the back of shirt and show her three games.
One was about a box creature that fighting against a just as block scientist (Boxman the Boxian), and RPG about there guys saving a land of ponies from a raging dictator (Brony Quest: When Nazis Attack), and finally a horror maze game that involved a guy exploring a mansion of unspeakable origin (Creepypasta Mansion).
Remilia was impressed with the first two. The last one just couldn't hold her attention as much as the last two did. "I could show you more, and make more like these. But, I need some investment to keep making them." I explained after the demonstration ended.
"What investment?" She asked.
I remember that Gensokyo had little to no tech industry, let alone a gaming industry...Just yet. I spent a good while lecturing about what it is, and the things needed for such a thing.
I expected a very tepid reaction from them. But needless to say, I got some support from her. But to prove that I can be trusted worthy of said support, I had to show her any or all progress of the projects I had or would be doing.
I was off to start work when she stopped me. Remilia got up and walked towards and said "One more thing before you leave."
She motioned Sakuya to get some bandages, and then she suddenly bit me. I held in my scream (but it was mostly the swearing I was restraining), she was sucking my blood. Despite being similar to a blood draw it hurt much more and for longer. After she let go, she rubbed her tongue, probably because of a copper aftertaste.
I left with a sore arm, but ready nonetheless, to start an industry like no other. I spent the next year developing games and showing Remilia. Some of which already made (Brony Quest 2: Day of Lavos) or resumed production on (Brony Quest 3 ad Emergency Landing) or already in development (AS: The Day Earth Glitched, Boxman the Boxian 2, and two unnamed RPGS).
It was early into my second year of being in Gensokyo When I was stopped by Yukari. "I heard what you have been doing." Yukari said, surprising me in my studio.
"What? ABout the game I have been busy with?" I replied, caught completely off guard.
Yukari, unlike many of the youkai or humans that lived here, has been outside of Gensokyo, mainly for abducting humans for local cosumption, and at one point, gapping new people in. So she knew exactly what I've been doing and producing.
"I have one question to ask, how are you gonna use it?" Yukari questioned.
I sighed, "With this thing" showing her the Lego model of the Super Mega Drive. "Sadly...This thing is only a model and so far there is no way any of the Gensokyo masses could really use it for." Then an idea popped into my 17 year old mind.
"Say, do you always use your gaps to enter and exit Gensokyo" I said, wondering.
"Uhhh...Yes why asked me that" Yukari was surprised by the question and yet intrigued by it.
"We could use your gaps to 'borrow' the items need to produce an actual console like this!" I explained.
I thought I'd put the future of my existence in jeopardy by suggesting stealing plastic and electronic components. But instead she agreed to such a strange heist.
I, Yukari, Ran, and a friend of Yukari, Yuyuko Saigyouji, raided a plastics factory and several large computer specialty shops. Both locations were of my accord, I took the materials; the other three kidnapped the humans for future youkai consumption.
When I got back I started work on the prototype. I melted the stolen plastic pellets into boiling goo. While I arranged the PCB and the power supply, it took me a week to make the first hundred units. Then I showed the hardware off to the vampire aristocrat, Remilia.
She was most impressed by the hardware since she was beginning to get bored with the software I was showing before. "I will start selling this device in two weeks' time." I said with an excited expression.
Before I left after the meeting ended I asked, "Say, are there any newspapers around here?"
"There's one or two around here, the only one I can think of is the Bunbunmaru Newspaper." Remilia answered.
She told me about who does the paper and I left shortly after. I had to find a tengu named Aya. It didn't take me long to find her as she was reporting about some minor thing that had happened. I asked her if she was indeed Aya (stupid question, I know. But it worked!). She said yes, and I told that I can show her something amazing and newsworthy.
I took her to where I was working and show her the boxes of Super Mega Drives piled up in a somewhat unkempt manner. I showed the console itself, I told her about the launch titles, and let her play the games. The next day, the article appeared. It made headlines, and the hype train suddenly left the station at an infinite speed. Gensokyo will have its first video game release.
I worried when the fortnight ended, what if such a tentative thing won't work. I warily made plans for it, a midnight release tomorrow. It worked.
Very few humans if any at all ever went and bought the machine, but many of local youkai and some of the fairies came out to buy it (exceptions were Yukari and Remilia since I gave them freebies as a thank you gift for helping me this far). The Super Mega Drive was a hit.
The launch titles are as follows: Boxman the Boxian, Brony Quest: When Nazisa Attack, Creepypasta Mansion, and Tiny Tower (a port of an iOS game that I played). The next week was followed by: Thunder Gun, The YouTube Poop World, Super Crate Box, and Ahriman's Treasure (ports of various games I played from Gamejolt.com).
The next year was spent releasing games and incorporating. The board of directors was founded (Remilia Scarlet and Yukari Yakumo) and a special newsletter (published via Aya). However this got the attention of Reimu Hakurei, a miko that lived near the barrier. She was having a negative attitude to the whole AeroSoft thing when she saw two fairies, Cirno and Sunny Milk, fighting over the Super Mega Drive.
Reimu confronted me about the situation. I gave her a tour of the studio in hope of her not being alienated and acting in a inclement manner (she already was and I knew exactly why: this whole AeroSoft thing was new to her and Reimu thought something bad and evil was happening). Over the next three years, she began to warm up and get used to it and even saving me after I had left Gensokyo.
By now the demand of games and consoles were going pretty strong, Terraria (basically a 2D Minecraft game) was released to an extremely large amount of praise. I hand make the cartridges (I use a heavily modified proprietary USB 3.0 instead of ROM boards) and consoles (I still have scars from handling hot plastic).
I had heard about a shy kappa that had amazing engineering skills. That kappa was Nitori Kawashiro. I found her, but she had ran away, I lured her out with cucumbers and that worked.
I told her I would give her a large supply of cukes if she would solve my problem. She built me three machines that would mass produce controllers, cartridges, and Super Mega Drives. Nitori would later be the lead hardware engineer.
When I showed her some of the games, she was not impressed. She said "Why do all the games look so flat?"
I was expecting, even hoping that someone would question its 3D capabilities. This resulted in me porting Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, along with Brony Quest 3, Tetris, and Michael Jackson's Moonwalker HD (A remake of the Sega Genesis game). By year's end, Nitori would make her take of the Super FX chip that the SNES used. The NUFX chip (Nitori's Ultra FX Chip) would allow for graphics that slightly less superior to the PS2, and used for a kart racing game based on the show, Wacky Races, Boxman the Boxian 3D, Doom 2, and Duke Nukem 3D.
My fourth of my year started with me showing my benevolent side. Donating a large cartload of money to the Hakurei Shrine (literally) and starting a special needs fund (after observing more of Cirno's idiot-like behavior and as a "take that!" to Reed).
I was beginning my plan to bring AeroSoft back to America and see if the Super Mega Drive would work. Even augmenting it to the point of being an entirely different console, and I finished teaching Reisen how to develop for the Super Mega Drive.
I met Reisen Udongein Inaba while delivering a small shipment to a place called Eientei, a mansion that's in a middle of a large bamboo forest. She took a technical interest to the console and I taught her how to code for it. Then she taught some of the other rabbits that lived and worked at Eientei. This in turn spawned the first "third party" developer. The person that was in charge, was Eirin Yagokoro, Eirin was nothing short of a medical genius and I had run out of meds at this point, and I was loading up on dangerous amount of copper in my liver.
Eirin created a medicine that made me literally excrete copper nuggets. (My Wilson's Disease was almost completely undetectable within several weeks).
I had learned much about Gensokyo's history and started to make games based off the various incidents that had happened. Some of which were popular, then I stopped making games based on such events. "Diamond in the Rough" was a relatively good game, awesome graphics, great sound, and even greater gameplay. But the event was based around (The Brolli Diamondback incident that influenced the stopping of gapping in humans). Production of the cartridge were ceased within a month, nowadays copies of the game are expensive and whatever copies do make it to the states exceed $600,000.
I was gapped in because Yukari didn't want to admit to the fact that she was going to kidnap my dad; I had forgiven her when she finally did tell.
The rest of the fourth year had nothing noteworthy. The fifth and final year was marked by a fallow release calendar. I temporarily left AeroSoft in control of Yukari and Remilia, even telling them that I will go back to the company when it's ready to spread to America.
I left Gensokyo, to a very nasty surprise. I was treated to a very large truancy charge. Apparently, after all the years of commenting against the staff of my school, Dr. Cohen finally had something to get back at me.
"Payback with back pay" seemed to be the mood of the setting in the courthouse, at least to the plaintiff.
It was a dour day for me; I had little fortitude against Dr. Cohen's testimony. He brought up all the comments I said against him and the staff of my school, I now face charges of truancy and slander (I'm not sure if that counts as assault and battery). Just when I was about to face the music, the end of the AeroSoft dream which was looking to be a giant crashing fiery heap of wasted time and energy. Two mysterious women entered the court, both wearing shade and a suit, one had black hair the other one was blonde.
They both seemed familiar, the blonde's voice was similar to...no couldn't be, can it? They brought in a...Super Mega Drive? They brought in charts and picture about...AeroSoft? Both wore a pin that was a promotional item for a subscription of Bunbunmaru Newspaper. I suddenly recognize the two as Yukari and Reimu (Yukari was the only one speaking and Reimu kinda just stayed there for support).
The judge was surprised, the jury was surprised, Dr. Cohen was suprised, everyone was surprised.
"Impossible! They're lying! How can someone irresponsible enough to take an illegal five year sojourn from the educational system be able to successfully start a corporation that big!" said Dr. Cohen in complete shock.
"To call of this case how about we pay you for...let's say, damages?" Yukari responded.
"1,000 ye...dollars!" started Yukari.
"$2,000...$5,000...$10,000...$50,000...$100,000" continued Yukari with an insidious grin.
The plaintiff was beginning to feel uncomfortable at the thought of the woman bribing Dr. Cohen.
"...$1,000,000" Yukari said before being cut off by the judge.
"Sile...Sile...SILENCE!" exclaimed the judge, who had a concerning stutter.
I was getting suspicious of the judge after the stutter; I jumped out of the box and grabbed for something from the judge. The guards were about to restrain me, but they saw the small tin bottle I was holding. That bottle had belonged to the judge.
To make a long story short, I went off scot-free after the drunken judge was exposed. Dr. Cohen left embarrassed and wore a stolid expression when he drove off. I restrained myself from hugging the gap youkai (Yukari) and the Shinto shrine maiden (Reimu). I thanked them both, and asked them why they wanted to save me.
"Me and Remilia have some conflicting views about the way your AeroSoft business was going to, So I and Reimu went to get you back." Yukari explained.
"Well I was going to bring AeroSoft back here, my home. Everyone in Gensokyo can still have my games and consoles, But I'll have the main headquarters be here." I said.
"The old headquarters will become a branch for the company." I added.
A month later, I bought out a large office building in Natick. Two years laters, I released the Super Mega Drive 2 (which used HVDs [Holographic Versatile Discs] instead of USB cartridges). Three months after that was the last game for the Super Mega Drive, a bowling game based off the Ebola scare of 2014, the game was only released in Gensokyo to avoid any trouble with the American public.
I added my brother, Trevor to the board of directors as well as Michael Scotton (I added him because of a promise I made him) and several of the largest shareholders (but due to the colorful cast of characters there, they rarely ever come).
That brings us to the present, 2028. That is my story of my company from the start (very briefly) to how things are today. Someday I'll leave my company to my son, as well as the secrets that lay beyond the Great Hakurei Barrier. Thank you for reading.
The date was December 13th 2014, I woke up at two o'clock in the morning, nausea as usual. As I was chewing on some gum, I heard footsteps and quiet hushed talking. I sneaked into the kitchen, and turned on the lights.
There in front of me were two surprised women, both dressed strangely, one of them had what appeared to be nine fox tails coming from behind. The three of us stared at each other for what seemed for hours. Until I asked "Who and what are you two doing here." I said, gum to the side of my mouth.
The two women obviously had other intentions, but instead of escaping (I expected for them to jump out the backdoor or some random window) they offered me an opportunity. They leave and keep this event as a secret, or return with them and giving up my life at home. I chose the latter.
I took my computer, hard drive, several boxes of chai, any iDevices that I owned, wallet, and all required medication (sleeping aid and liver chelators), and the Lego model of what would become the "Super Mega Drive".
I said that I was ready and to my surprise one of them opened a gap, a to a place, a land severed off from the modern world, a land called Gensokyo. This had to be the least feasible thing today, and it was only 2:20 in the morning. If only I knew what was to come.
Through the gap I arrived at the woman's house. The woman introduced herself as Yukari Yakumo and the woman with the fox tails, Ran.
Gensokyo was a realm unlike any other. Sealed away by the Great Hakurei Barrier, is where human and youkai co-exist. The local youkai however, range on a varying scale of how dangerous they are, since some of them eat humans. There were things called Spell Cards which are special cards that were either used for offense or defense, involving something called danmaku. Also, apparently Gensokyo itself is located somewhere on the outskirts of Kyoto, so there's that.
I temporarily lived in the human village, for about a year. I had to redress AeroSoft for its new home. I slowly learned about the land, but I found out that there was an almost non-existent gaming industry. Save for the various things that filtered through the barrier and Yukari's gaps.
Six months later, I need some investment for getting AeroSoft afloat. I heard about the Scarlet Devil Mansion. I also needed to start figuring out how to use Spell Cards. So I went to this magician named Marisa Kirisame. Needless to say, she is kind of a kleptomaniac and she decided to bring me along to the mansion's library to steal some books.
I ended up meeting the librarian Patchouli, then the head maid, Sakuya Izayoi. Patchouli was pissed at Marisa for breaking into her library for the third time this week. I asked who was the person who lived here, specifically who owned the mansion. So Sakuya took me to her mistress, Remilia Scarlet.
"I have something that you might like." I said, which surprised both women, mostly Sakuya.
"...Go on." Replied Remilia,
I promptly pulled out my computer bag that I kept safe under the back of shirt and show her three games.
One was about a box creature that fighting against a just as block scientist (Boxman the Boxian), and RPG about there guys saving a land of ponies from a raging dictator (Brony Quest: When Nazis Attack), and finally a horror maze game that involved a guy exploring a mansion of unspeakable origin (Creepypasta Mansion).
Remilia was impressed with the first two. The last one just couldn't hold her attention as much as the last two did. "I could show you more, and make more like these. But, I need some investment to keep making them." I explained after the demonstration ended.
"What investment?" She asked.
I remember that Gensokyo had little to no tech industry, let alone a gaming industry...Just yet. I spent a good while lecturing about what it is, and the things needed for such a thing.
I expected a very tepid reaction from them. But needless to say, I got some support from her. But to prove that I can be trusted worthy of said support, I had to show her any or all progress of the projects I had or would be doing.
I was off to start work when she stopped me. Remilia got up and walked towards and said "One more thing before you leave."
She motioned Sakuya to get some bandages, and then she suddenly bit me. I held in my scream (but it was mostly the swearing I was restraining), she was sucking my blood. Despite being similar to a blood draw it hurt much more and for longer. After she let go, she rubbed her tongue, probably because of a copper aftertaste.
I left with a sore arm, but ready nonetheless, to start an industry like no other. I spent the next year developing games and showing Remilia. Some of which already made (Brony Quest 2: Day of Lavos) or resumed production on (Brony Quest 3 ad Emergency Landing) or already in development (AS: The Day Earth Glitched, Boxman the Boxian 2, and two unnamed RPGS).
It was early into my second year of being in Gensokyo When I was stopped by Yukari. "I heard what you have been doing." Yukari said, surprising me in my studio.
"What? ABout the game I have been busy with?" I replied, caught completely off guard.
Yukari, unlike many of the youkai or humans that lived here, has been outside of Gensokyo, mainly for abducting humans for local cosumption, and at one point, gapping new people in. So she knew exactly what I've been doing and producing.
"I have one question to ask, how are you gonna use it?" Yukari questioned.
I sighed, "With this thing" showing her the Lego model of the Super Mega Drive. "Sadly...This thing is only a model and so far there is no way any of the Gensokyo masses could really use it for." Then an idea popped into my 17 year old mind.
"Say, do you always use your gaps to enter and exit Gensokyo" I said, wondering.
"Uhhh...Yes why asked me that" Yukari was surprised by the question and yet intrigued by it.
"We could use your gaps to 'borrow' the items need to produce an actual console like this!" I explained.
I thought I'd put the future of my existence in jeopardy by suggesting stealing plastic and electronic components. But instead she agreed to such a strange heist.
I, Yukari, Ran, and a friend of Yukari, Yuyuko Saigyouji, raided a plastics factory and several large computer specialty shops. Both locations were of my accord, I took the materials; the other three kidnapped the humans for future youkai consumption.
When I got back I started work on the prototype. I melted the stolen plastic pellets into boiling goo. While I arranged the PCB and the power supply, it took me a week to make the first hundred units. Then I showed the hardware off to the vampire aristocrat, Remilia.
She was most impressed by the hardware since she was beginning to get bored with the software I was showing before. "I will start selling this device in two weeks' time." I said with an excited expression.
Before I left after the meeting ended I asked, "Say, are there any newspapers around here?"
"There's one or two around here, the only one I can think of is the Bunbunmaru Newspaper." Remilia answered.
She told me about who does the paper and I left shortly after. I had to find a tengu named Aya. It didn't take me long to find her as she was reporting about some minor thing that had happened. I asked her if she was indeed Aya (stupid question, I know. But it worked!). She said yes, and I told that I can show her something amazing and newsworthy.
I took her to where I was working and show her the boxes of Super Mega Drives piled up in a somewhat unkempt manner. I showed the console itself, I told her about the launch titles, and let her play the games. The next day, the article appeared. It made headlines, and the hype train suddenly left the station at an infinite speed. Gensokyo will have its first video game release.
I worried when the fortnight ended, what if such a tentative thing won't work. I warily made plans for it, a midnight release tomorrow. It worked.
Very few humans if any at all ever went and bought the machine, but many of local youkai and some of the fairies came out to buy it (exceptions were Yukari and Remilia since I gave them freebies as a thank you gift for helping me this far). The Super Mega Drive was a hit.
The launch titles are as follows: Boxman the Boxian, Brony Quest: When Nazisa Attack, Creepypasta Mansion, and Tiny Tower (a port of an iOS game that I played). The next week was followed by: Thunder Gun, The YouTube Poop World, Super Crate Box, and Ahriman's Treasure (ports of various games I played from Gamejolt.com).
The next year was spent releasing games and incorporating. The board of directors was founded (Remilia Scarlet and Yukari Yakumo) and a special newsletter (published via Aya). However this got the attention of Reimu Hakurei, a miko that lived near the barrier. She was having a negative attitude to the whole AeroSoft thing when she saw two fairies, Cirno and Sunny Milk, fighting over the Super Mega Drive.
Reimu confronted me about the situation. I gave her a tour of the studio in hope of her not being alienated and acting in a inclement manner (she already was and I knew exactly why: this whole AeroSoft thing was new to her and Reimu thought something bad and evil was happening). Over the next three years, she began to warm up and get used to it and even saving me after I had left Gensokyo.
By now the demand of games and consoles were going pretty strong, Terraria (basically a 2D Minecraft game) was released to an extremely large amount of praise. I hand make the cartridges (I use a heavily modified proprietary USB 3.0 instead of ROM boards) and consoles (I still have scars from handling hot plastic).
I had heard about a shy kappa that had amazing engineering skills. That kappa was Nitori Kawashiro. I found her, but she had ran away, I lured her out with cucumbers and that worked.
I told her I would give her a large supply of cukes if she would solve my problem. She built me three machines that would mass produce controllers, cartridges, and Super Mega Drives. Nitori would later be the lead hardware engineer.
When I showed her some of the games, she was not impressed. She said "Why do all the games look so flat?"
I was expecting, even hoping that someone would question its 3D capabilities. This resulted in me porting Wolfenstein 3D and Doom, along with Brony Quest 3, Tetris, and Michael Jackson's Moonwalker HD (A remake of the Sega Genesis game). By year's end, Nitori would make her take of the Super FX chip that the SNES used. The NUFX chip (Nitori's Ultra FX Chip) would allow for graphics that slightly less superior to the PS2, and used for a kart racing game based on the show, Wacky Races, Boxman the Boxian 3D, Doom 2, and Duke Nukem 3D.

RevieWednesday (on a Friday!) Back to School Special: Camp Sunshine
Camp Sunshine is Reed Academy's summer camp program. Which is pretty much the regular school year taking place outside with more activities as dictated by a ad nauseam 6 week schedule. Oh boy, where do we begin...
Positives:
The camp day usually involves fishing, some sort of swimming and some sort of sport activity. Which is pretty fun at times, and residence is allowed for some nap time which is kind of remarkable for a heavily regulated environment, which says a ton considering Sudbury Valley is across the street and I consider them to be the school with the most student freedom, but I digress. There is usually some yearly contest that ties to the naming of the various groups that everyone is divided into. There's even a Hollywood thingy that happens once a week by the folks at the Wheelock Family theatre that's fun to do.
Negatives:
The yearly contest is all fine and good...until you realize that the reviewer is non-competitive and is stuck with people who are overly competitive and more athletic (athletic thing account for 60% of winning the overall contest) so I'm forced to feign competitiveness and end up yelling at everyone for not pulling their weight. Also, the camp counselors are not at all adept for upholding Reed's many many many laws so going into residence which is more consistent with its staff experience will ground you or put you into overall trouble just by transition (this has been slightly fixed as of the 2015 camp year, but ONLY SLIGHTLY). Fishing is okay, except you have to walk a good while in the scorching New England heat and fish get harder to catch as the days go by. I actually hurt my back doing the optional nature walk. Instead of being fun in the sun, it's just tedious. Also the cherry on his sundae is that Language Arts exist in this program, UNCHANGED FROM THE BLOODY SCHOOL YEAR MIND YOU!!! Meaning we had to write a paper/essay which unless you go to a summer camp with a bureaucracy theme or about office work, then that's fine. But in a Summer Camp that prides itself about fun outside activities, not okay! And the school misadvertised about the camp and itself in general. This summer camp got boring three weeks in, which is impossible for kind of summer camp! Even ones that try to be boring. Its tedious, it's boring, it's misleading, it's over-competitive, good moments are fleeting, it's a mess.
Verdict: 2.1 out of 5.0 stars
"Its not horrible, but its bad. It is "The Room" and "Foodfight" of summer programs. Expect your kid's to associate any future summers after he goes there, with oppressed unpleasantness. Its fun for a couple days but no more than that."
I just read "Reimu Surrenders and is Destroyed"
Here's a little backstory: I was on TV Tropes looking up "Dark Fic" when I came across this little title. I was intrigued. So despite the fact its a hentai, I looked it up. I read it, in my honest opinion, I wasn't really phased by it graphicness as it had been stated by TV Tropes. I felt like it could've been more and I actually wished it was a it longer and I thought it would end by showing Reimu's dead corpse. However it never got that metal and the fact it's actually banned on some sites and how I've seen and heard worse states that "Remiu Surrenders and is Destroyed" is on the overrated side of things.
If this sounds like a review. It isn't (because if it was, I would state the plot and positive, as well as more of the negatives), but I'll at least give you a score: 3.1 out of 5.0: "It's overrated, short and it's graphicness is like comparing the original Robocop movie to the UK Top Gear."
"On that bombshell we end this post."
