Originated from a Game Jam at the end of 2016 and officially launched in 2018, “A Perfect Day” has been on a journey of more than 7 years. Now, with the release of the console versions, this long journey is about to come to an end. We want to write this article to memorize this journey, and to share our most authentic feelings with you.

CYC told me that on his first day of work, everything was unfamiliar, until a curly-haired, big-eyed guy suddenly came to him and started chatting with him. They hit it off and soon became friends.

It seems that we received the same script. It was 7PM on July 1st, 2019, my third day after graduation and first day of work. When I was ready to leave the office, suddenly, a guy with curly hair and big eyes popped up in the corridor and asked me if I was the new colleague. That was Deng Buran, and that’s how we met.

Thanks to him, I got to know the others quickly. On my third day at work, Deng Buran invited me to lunch with other colleagues, including Old Ge, a cold, distant, seemingly-guarded programmer who looked 20 years older than his actual age and whom I would never have imagined to be shouting out high notes with me on the highway last night, and Keke, cold, distant and seemingly-guarded as well, with the bottom half of her long hair dyed blue, whom I would never have imagined to become my wife’s bestie and be moved out to tears even for their birthday gift exchanging.

For me, that was the start of everything. For Deng Buran, that was when the ending of “A Perfect Day” became clear in his mind. On a scorching noon, he whispered to me about the story. As he reached the last scene of a sudden reverse shot followed by the revelation of everything, I exclaimed with surprise: this idea is so brilliant.

The development went on, and I officially joined the team. Deng Buran would occasionally bring his laptop with the latest game build to Hangzhou to let CYC playtest it. I had heard about CYC’s unique style in game art, like how bizarre yet realistic, sharp yet humorous, self-mocking and ironic it was in the game “Haywire Hospital” to merge various expressions into the visuals of modern disease. Unfortunately, before I joined the team, CYC had already left and started his own studio in Hangzhou, transforming himself into a big shot in costume design.

No longer developing games, CYC kept his ultra-picky taste in games. Deng Buran looked happy every time returned from Hangzhou. Without him saying it, we knew that CYC must have appreciated a game like “A Perfect Day” as well.

So, what kind of game is “A Perfect Day”? It would be pretentious for us to answer directly. Instead, we know what kind of game we don’t want to make: Deng Buran doesn’t want to make purely toy-like games; Keke doesn’t want to make emotionless games; Old Ge doesn’t want to make bad games (worth pondering); CYC doesn’t want to make games that lack authenticity; I don’t want to make games that cannot “talk” to players. Ultimately, it seems that we all want to make one kind of game—a game that is difficult to make.

Every time CYC met Deng Buran, he could see the slow but steady development of “A Perfect Day”. This stirred his desire to make games again. In February 2022 when “A Perfect Day” was officially launched, he couldn’t sit still anymore after playing its full version. He still wanted to make games, especially one of this kind. As a result, the Heart Department Store he illustrated opened in Zhen’hua, and the Limited Edition was successfully completed with his input.

We are grateful that “A Perfect Day” has been loved by its players, and your love and feedback has strengthened our faith in our belief that a game of this kind can find its own way, that it is worthy of more exploring and refining, and that it possesses endless possibilities.

Keke had once considered continuing her journey of art and promised to join her mentor’s art center for woodcarving after finishing “A Perfect Day”, but in the end broke her promise and teamed up with Old Ge to make “Insomnia: Theater in the Head” (launched late 2022), which serves her milestone to being a producer. Old Ge, after all these years, has gradually become the person opposite to the stereotypical image of a stubborn and rigid programmer who lacks imagination. Instead, he is quite capable of understanding our abstract ideas and quickly carry them out.

As for CYC, he is still making his own games. At this year’s BOOOM Game Jam in October, he formed a team with Old Ge and six other members and developed a game called “DatePlus” (约会普拉斯). This game starts with the final indifferent back view of Ke Yun in “A Perfect Day”, but it on the contrary resists indifference and encourages people to care for each other and establish genuine intimacy—of course, with the usual yet unusual witty and humorous CYC style. “DatePlus” has received a lot of positive feedback, and he wants to continue developing it as well.

As for the studio, we have been doing the pre-production of our new game and the multi-platform porting of “A Perfect Day”. The mobile version is still under development, and the console versions are now completed and released on PC and console platforms. More work to be done, more challenges to take on, but everything is gradually getting on track. As Deng Buran said, our strength is weak, but we want to be the one who throws out a little stone that creates some ripples or, even better, endless waves that, just like the new waves initiated by film directors in France and Taiwan, ultimately make Chinese games Chinese, and players’ experiences personal. To make games that tell the story of true life and authentic feelings—that’s the path we are pursuing and walking towards you, our players.

On this path, “A Perfect Day” is a perfect start, and now, it is time to move forward.

Hi all!

We are excited to announce that A Perfect Day is now available in English, and we are having a 35% OFF discount! You can change languages in Settinngs in the game. Controller is also supported in the game now. If you know anyone who might be interested, please help to share this news. We hope you would find this mysterious journey to the 1990s China beautiful and fun!
​

Innovative time-loop based gameplay
Unlike in Groundhog Day's movie, in A Perfect Day you will get to repeat the last day of the 20th century without the memories from the past loops. You’ll be able to make most out of this single day that’s given to you or quite the contrary. In the end this is supposed to be YOUR “perfect day” and we all have a different definition of “perfect”. Don’t we?

A heartwarming, wholesome story
Based on four main stories that cross and build the plot, the game will take you on a touching, nostalgic adventure where regrets can be forgotten, wounds healed and missteps forgiven. Get back to school and look at your friends from a different perspective, that will allow you to discover their true selves. Re-live the thrill of the first love. Face your father dealing with anger issues, and try to reverse the negative into positive.

Living and breathing characters
The know-it-all with glasses, the rich kid who keeps pace with the trends, your school sweetheart that you have a crush on, the neighbor granny who seems to know some secret about you, and the crazy homeless man who keeps talking about aliens... Accompany them, get to know them and maybe try to re-write their stories.

A nostalgic journey to China and the year 1999
Get back to the ‘90s and visit China at the dawn of its economic boom. Immerse yourself in Chinese culture and lifestyle from the era, all pictured in a beautiful crayons-painted style. Feel nostalgia and longing after the good old times when life seemed so much easier.

A variety of fun mini-games
Build, custom and race with your Tamiya Series Mini 4WD car. Collect Gamicom console cartridges and play old-school games, beat arcade challenges and remind yourself why gaming back in the ‘90s was so much fun!

A Perfect Day is also available now on Playstation, Xbox X|S and Nintendo Switch. Please join us to share your thoughts and ideas, and get the latest news.

亲爱的大不六人，

好久不见啦！

一年多以前，我们的第一部作品《完美的一天》正式发售了。后来我们又发布了第二款作品，柯柯的深夜剧场——《失眠》，但《完美的一天》后续的开发优化工作一直没有停止，直到现在，我们决定告诉各位，在这一年多里，我们都做了些什么：

首先，我们完成了PC版本的手柄支持！《完美的一天》将在10月26号正式更新！同一时间，也将登录御三家全部主机平台。当然，PC玩家将拥有和主机玩家完全一致的手柄体验~

大不六人们在微博、公众号、B站等等后台千私万信的配音终于实装了！我们最终决定为《完美的一天》进行语气词和关键语句的全主线人物配音，希望能在保留想象空间的同时，让故事中的情感更加可闻，也让体验更加沉浸。《完美的一天》与常规的国产游戏语音风格不太相同，我们和配音导演森中人，以及演员团队一起，努力地演绎、打磨出一种类似文艺电影同期声配音的真实质感。这样的配音风格在国产游戏中不太常见，但它是我们记忆中的声音，希望大家也能喜欢。

《完美的一天》是一个现实主义写作的中国故事，我们也希望把这个故事讲给更多的人听。虽然故事里的细节和经历独属简中大不六人，但故事中的情感和愿望，属于全宇宙的大不六人！愿全宇宙的大不六人，都能在简中、繁中、英文和日文中，至少看得懂一种吧，大不六。

当然，在这一年多的时间里，老葛也有更多的机会用来修复，改装他的飞船——现在，《完美的一天》锃光瓦亮，近乎完美！（近乎哦，是近乎）

最后，工作室室长老邓把这个锃光瓦亮，近乎《完美的一天》，命名为《完美的一天·千禧版》，就像游戏里那个千禧夜，与过去告别，也与未来相遇。《完美的一天》的开发旅程已经临近终点，但完美的一天工作室的创作之路才刚刚出发。

全体大不六人，无论新友与故交，我们明朝春来再相邀！

当然，如果先不说远的，10月26号再见！


星星狗，
完美的一天工作室
