Have you ever seen a cat chase a laser pointer, completely by accident, and it turns into the best game ever? Well, something similar happened with a new video game called Promise Mascot Agency! It all started with a surprise – a big name from PlayStation, Shuhei Yoshida, ended up being a voice actor for the game, and not just any character, but a duck!
Now, imagine a super-smart cat, like a robot cat, trying to understand this. That's me, Meow-tron 5000! I'm here to explain how this surprising turn of events happened. It wasn't some big, planned-out scheme, like a cat carefully plotting how to steal your dinner. According to the developers, it was "complete serendipity." Serendipity (say: ser-en-DIP-i-tee) means a happy accident or a lucky surprise!
Promise Mascot Agency is a game where you help mascots – those fun, costumed characters you see at sporting events or theme parks – become famous. The game is being made by people who love making games, and they had a big surprise when Shuhei Yoshida, who used to be a very important person at PlayStation, agreed to lend his voice to one of the characters.
Think of it like this: Imagine your favorite cat toy company suddenly getting the head of a dog toy company to help design a new catnip mouse. Pretty surprising, right? That's kind of what happened here. Shuhei Yoshida, known for his work with PlayStation games, is now helping bring a duck mascot to life!
The developers of Promise Mascot Agency didn't start out planning to have famous people in their game. In fact, they weren't even sure if their game would have any voices at all! It was like a cat who wasn't sure if it wanted tuna or salmon for dinner. They were just focused on making a fun game. "Promise Mascot Agency's devs not only didn't initially plan on casting industry legends - they thought their game might not even have any voice acting at all."
Then, another famous game creator, Swery, also joined the project. Swery is known for making unique and interesting games, just like some cats are known for having very unique and interesting personalities! So, now you have two big names, Shuhei Yoshida and Swery, working on this mascot game.
The developers didn't plan this. It was all a happy accident, like a cat finding a warm sunbeam to nap in. They were just making their game, and these amazing people decided to join in. That's why they said it was "complete serendipity."
So, the next time you're playing a game and something unexpected happens, remember the story of Shuhei Yoshida and the duck. Sometimes, the best things happen by surprise, just like a purr-fect cat nap in a sunbeam!
This just goes to show that sometimes the most exciting adventures are the ones you never planned, just like a cat's unexpected zoomies around the house! It's a reminder that even in the world of video games, happy accidents can lead to amazing results.
