Description:

Aoba Suzukaze has been a fan of the Fairies Story video game series since childhood because of its distinct character designs. As expected, after completing high school, she pursued a job at Eagle Jump, the company responsible for creating her beloved game. Aoba's first day on the job was exhilarating as she discovered that she would be working on the latest game in the series, Fairies Story 3, alongside Kou Yagami, the lead character designer. In the department, Aoba found herself among colleagues who shared her zeal for game development. They included Yun Iijima, who specialized in monster design, the introverted Hifumi Takimoto who preferred online communication, Hajime Shinoda from the animation team, the well-organized art director Rin Tooyama, game director Shizuku Hazuki who brought her pet cat to work, and the head programmer with a short fuse, Umiko Ahagon. As Aoba and her team embarked on their game-making journey, they encountered both successes and setbacks in character design, constantly fixing inevitable errors as they arose. Join Aoba and her colleagues in their riveting account of the world of game development. New Game! is an engrossing story of the game-making process.
