Memory Searcher

Wang Chuan rubbed his brow and did not use the Memory Searcher right away.

Instead, he opened a document on his laptop and organized the game from his memories.

After all, the Memory Searcher was not omnipotent. It seemed capable of searching freely.

But it had certain limitations, and he still did not know what those limits were.

When he thought of the various plotlines in the game, along with some of the music and so on, his memory capacity might not be enough.

So he needed to reduce the load as much as possible and let the Memory Searcher serve its greatest purpose.

Moreover, every aspect of this game would need to be completed by him alone.

Although he had the Pangu Editor and did not need to write code line by line himself.

That did not mean it would be easy, even if this was only a small game.

It was precisely because of this that Game Producers in this world tended to be all-rounders.

Plot, music, balancing, design, and so on.

They basically understood a little of everything.

The core gameplay did not need to change. It would still focus on puzzle-solving, with the story at its core, exploring choice, freedom, storytelling, human nature, and reality.

What needed changing was the game's framework and art style.

He could take advantage of this world's strengths to make the game look better.

In his previous life, this game had only been made by a small studio.

They had lacked the energy and funding to do a better job with the art.

But that was not important. No game could possibly be perfect; what mattered was that it was good enough.

Still, that worked out well for him. He could fix the flaws from his previous life while preserving what was excellent.

However, his funds were limited now, so he could not commission artists specifically for everything.

Thus, he would directly use the Art Assets included in the Pangu Editor for most things.

As for a few more important areas, he would pick them out separately and leave them to artists.

That would reduce the costs considerably.

As for the interface layout, he could simply follow the version from his previous life. There was no need to deliberately design it.

Besides, the Pangu Editor had similar templates. He only needed to pay a small fee to use them.

The plot was the most important thing in The Stanley Parable.

The game's distinctive feature was its dual framework, with players holding two identities: Stanley and the player.

The Narrator's commentary also added a degree of amusement to the plot.

As for the remaining settings, music, and so on, he could use the Memory Searcher later to recreate them.

On the surface, the system mission's one-month deadline seemed more than sufficient.

But in reality, once the time needed for game review was excluded.

Wang Chuan only had a little over half a month left.

And during that time, he had to gradually recreate this classic from his memories.

Several days passed, and Wang Chuan finished adjusting every aspect.

He also finalized the game's direction and details, comparing them against the memories in his mind.

In the end, he put it all into the design document.

It looked simple enough, but in truth, it had taken an enormous amount of effort.

At the very least, Wang Chuan had been hunched over his desk for several days without leaving it.

"Next, it's time to use the item!"

After getting up and stretching, Wang Chuan tidied his desk, then went to wash up and eat breakfast.

Once he had taken care of everything, he picked up his phone and turned on airplane mode.

Then, on the system interface, he opened the Item Section, selected the Memory Searcher, and confirmed its use.

In an instant, he seemed to sense his own brain.

His mind became like a computer, capable of searching for targets according to his needs.

He did not think too much about it, afraid that he might lock onto the wrong thing.

Wang Chuan directly recalled all the information related to The Stanley Parable.

His brain began operating at high speed, like a computer.

The information on The Stanley Parable also became increasingly clear in his mind.

Although these memories were all from the perspective of a player, combined with the memories from this life.

He could easily analyze the game's approximate data from them.

"As expected, the Wang Chuan of this world was quite something."

Wang Chuan shook his head with a touch of emotion.

Unlike himself, who had merely been a gaming nerd, the Wang Chuan of this world had been a qualified Game Producer.

Without dwelling on anything else, Wang Chuan returned to his desk and hurriedly began writing with a pen.

In that short time, he had already memorized everything he needed from the game.

Now, all he needed to do was write those memories into the design document.

"Phew, it's finally done."

In the pitch-black room, lit only by a small desk lamp, Wang Chuan rubbed his brow, exhaustion written across his face.

Ever since using the item, he had been writing nonstop until now.

After working continuously for so long, the moment he relaxed, exhaustion flooded his entire body.

He made himself a cup of coffee and rested for a while.

Then Wang Chuan turned his gaze back to the Pangu Editor and entered the editor's internal forum.

Here, he could get in touch with everything needed to make a game.

Including the art Outsourcing Team and music Outsourcing Team he needed now.

After looking carefully, Wang Chuan chose one with a good reputation and fairly reasonable prices.

After chatting briefly, he sent over the relevant requirements and design sketches.

"Yawn. I'm still sleepy after drinking coffee? This coffee isn't fake, is it?"

Wang Chuan picked up the coffee can and looked it over, somewhat puzzled.

But since he was sleepy, he could take a hot shower.

It would wake him up a little and make him feel more comfortable.

After returning, Wang Chuan found another music Outsourcing Team.

After chatting with them as well, he sent over the requirements for the music.

His savings had already fallen below ten thousand.

There was no helping it. Making games cost money, which was why independent Game Producers were relatively rare.

Most games were made by large companies.

Likewise, that was precisely why every successful independent Game Producer.

Would attract attention from all sides, because they had already proven their own talent.

"What remains is game promotion, and the players."

After confirming that there were no other problems with the game, Wang Chuan faced a rather important issue.

First, when it came to players, Wang Chuan was not too concerned.

Because he had confidence in the game's quality.

Besides, he still had a game item he had not used yet: the Strange Association Device.

Although he vaguely had some ideas about this item, as for what it would actually do, he would just have to wait and see.

Other than that, there was the game's promotion. He thought about it for a long time but could not come up with anything.

Instead, he yawned repeatedly and grew even sleepier.

"Forget it. I'm going to sleep. I'll deal with it tomorrow!"

With that thought, Wang Chuan lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

He was utterly exhausted!
