The two creators continued the theme in their next works -- Davey Wreden's "The Beginner's Guide" is a 2-3 hour game and a powerful look at what it means to make art and how we interact with it through an epistolary-style series of nano-games ostensibly made by his friend Coda. It's the greatest game I've ever played.
William Pugh made "Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, and The Terribly Cursed Emerald: A Whirlwind Heist," which is a goofy 30 min game where you arrive early to a game and must deal with that situation as it develops.
Both are absurdly creative, funny and/or touching, and obviously have the same creative fingerprints of Stanley Parable within them.
- smoldesu 4y agoI quite liked "A Whirlwind Heist", if I'm not mistaken it's still free on Steam which makes it the perfect endcap to your weekend if you haven't checked it out already!
- gambiting 4y agoIt's really interesting, because I have also really enjoyed "The Beginners Guide" and I think it's absolutely brilliant in its theme and delivery, but then I made my sister play it, and she said she hated every second of it - in her words "it's the most pretentious piece of art I have ever witnessed". So....yeah, you're going to get strong reactions to this one I think.
- dtech 4y agoThe response to "The Beginners Guide" seems to be linked to how much of a "creator" you are. It did not vibe with me at all, but a friend who is a musician on the side loved it.
- gambiting 4y agoWell, this guess doesn't seem to apply here - my sister is a film maker by education and now works as a photographer, and nope, just really didn't like it. I'm a video game developer(programmer, not designer) and I love it.
