Chapter 2 The Stanley Parable



After confirming acceptance of the system.

A simple panel appeared in front of Wang Chuan.

"Sure enough, all travelers carry a system with them."

After a moment of hesitation, Wang Chuan began to check.

This is a virtual screen that no one can see except himself.

Well, this was verified using the tool person and desk mate.

The content on the panel is very simple, with only four parts in total.

The first section is fan value.

According to the system description, Wang Chuan learned where the fan value came from.

Every time he makes a game, he can get a certain amount of fan value based on the players' emotions during the game.

As for the use of fan points, that will be discussed in the next section.

The second section is the big turntable.

Everyone knows the purpose of the big turntable, it is used for lottery.

According to the system information, Wang Chuan also knew that the big turntable required 10,000 fan points to rotate once.

Although he didn't know the exact proportions, he subconsciously felt that this big turntable was quite dark.

The third section is more familiar, called the task section.

A must-have mission template for time travelers, but there are only two missions now.

One main quest and one side quest.

Main quest: Become the God of Games!

Mission Reward: Fulfill a wish once. (No time limit and no penalty for failure)

Side quest: Become an official game producer within one month.

Mission Reward: Five to ten spins. (No penalty for failure)

Become the God of Gaming?

Wang Chuan had some guesses in his mind, but since there was no time limit or punishment, he was not in a hurry.

Become an official game producer within a month?

This needs to be completed as soon as possible.

It's not only about completing the task, but also about fulfilling the dream.

That’s right, Wang Chuan has a dream. Bringing the classics of his previous life to this world is his dream.

However, he still needs to think carefully about how to proceed.

There are three ways to become a formal game producer.

One is that if you become the champion in the Game Producer Competition, you will receive official rewards and certification.

Another option is to join a well-known gaming company in the industry and work hard for a few years.

Then you can apply for the company's assessment and become a formal game producer.

The last one is to make independent games. If the above two have thresholds, then this one is something that anyone can participate in.

It’s just that the requirements are rather abnormal. It needs to be and can only be released through official channels, and the certification option must be enabled.

Then, the certified game is required to reach the top of the new game list and achieve sales of 10,000 people.

In other words, you have to be ranked first and have 10,000 people pay for it, and refunds don't count.

"Well, the only options for me are competitions and independent games. Joining a company isn't realistic."

After pinching his chin and thinking for a while, Wang Chuan gave up thinking.

There is still one section left to read.

The last one is the item section.

As Wang Chuan expected, there was a novice gift package inside.

Needless to say, this is a must-have item for time travelers.

Use your mind to click on the novice gift pack among the items.

After a flash of white light, the novice gift package was opened.

Wang Chuan was a little disappointed with what was inside. There were only two cards and nothing else.

"Let me see what these two cards are first. The system shouldn't cheat me, right?"

Holding a little hope, Wang Chuan clicked the card.

The next second, the card information appeared on the panel.

[Magic Magnifying Glass: After using it, players can zoom in on a certain part of the game.]

[Memory Searcher: After using, you can freely search for a specific memory in your mind. Please note that the memory capacity is limited.]

Holy shit, this thing is so buggy!

After Wang Chuan read the information about the props, he was stunned for a moment.

But it was a happy enlightenment.

Putting aside other things, this memory searcher is really amazing.

Being able to search memories freely in your mind is like searching for keywords in Baidu.

You know, he is a qualified game geek and has played most of the games.

But playing with it is one thing, and actually making it is still different.

But with this memory searcher, he can completely visualize every detail of the game in his mind.

If he can't make a good game, he will, ahem, not swear anymore.

As for the other magical magnifying glass, Wang Chuan was a little confused.

It can amplify the player's interest in a certain part of the game.

But even if players are interested in a certain part of the game, they have already played it once before.

Why would I play it a second time?

Unless there is a game that can bring players a different experience every time.

Hey, it seems there are quite a few games like this!

Thinking of this, Wang Chuan's eyes lit up.

Although this world has not appeared, he has played it a lot in his previous life.

Excluding those that cannot be financed at present.

The only thing that fits him best is "meta-game!" or "META-game!"

Simply put, this type of game is about creating a connection between the content in the game and the players.

Specifically, when you are playing a game, you control the game character to make choices and feel that you are the master.

Suddenly, the game character turns around, looks at you coldly and says, "Don't interfere too much in my life!"

This then creates a feeling of breaking through the dimensional wall, which is the META element.

This will make players feel like they are being teased, as if everything that happens in the game is real.

This is also the unique charm of the meta game.

There are many representative works of meta-games in the previous life.

"The Stanley Parable" focuses on narration exploration, "Ashe" combines META+ACT, and "Undertale" fully utilizes the characteristics of MEAT, etc.

The ACT here refers to the move system, monster design, etc., in simple terms, it means fighting monsters.

Wang Chuan carefully recalled the contents of these games and compared them with each other.

He has decided to create a meta-game because it can maximize the use of cheat codes.

But he needs to consider carefully which game to choose.

"Oh, by the way, how much money do I have on me?"

Suddenly, Wang Chuan thought of a fatal problem. It costs money to make games. How much money does he have left?

I checked my phone: your balance is 0.11 yuan.

Well, there's only a little over 30,000 left, so no need to hesitate.

"'The Stanley Parable', it's decided to be you."

That’s right, after discovering the amount of his funds, Wang Chuan decisively set his target as "The Stanley Parable".
