As part of LudoNarraCon, Patrick had an opportunity to spend an hour chatting with Davey Wreden, acclaimed designer behind The Stanley Parable, The Beginner's Guide, and Wanderstop. Patrick and Davey were in similar social circles while living in San Francisco, but it's been a minute since they caught up. During the chat, the two discuss the consequences of early fame, the problems with using video game design as therapy for your soul, and more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Matt and Lucas dive into the latest game from Ivy Road, Wanderstop! A cozy game about making tea but with a dark twist! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Review code provided by Ivy Road- thank you! I think we all viewed Davey Wreden's new project announcement, a "cozy game about making tea", with a bit of side-eye. Is it really just going to be about making tea? You sure there isn't going to be a subversion in there? Are you still reading this? Well, Wanderstop is here, and it may not have the type of subversion that we expected, but it is most definitely not just a cozy game about making tea. This is a longer episode, because there is just that much to discuss. Grab a mug and enjoy!

On this episode of Random Encounter, it's time to sink into the shadows and brew some tea, because we're talking about Assassin's Creed Shadows and Wanderstop!Assassin's Creed Shadows is finally here! This long-awaited game has been delayed multiple times over the last year, but was that extra time well spent? Tom is here to tell us his thoughts about the latest entry in the long-running series!Tom also recently played the latest game from The Stanley Parable's Davey Wreden, Wanderstop. What appears to be a simple cozy game on the surface is actually a deep and thoughtful meditation on how to recover from burnout (something I think many of us can relate to, given the last few years). Will it appeal to both fans of the genre and those who are looking for a more narrative-based experience?And finally, Jono gets to chat about an amazing new visual novel from the geniuses at inkle, Expelled! An Overboard! Game. This follow-up to 2021's Overboard! might be the perfect sequel, delivering everything that made the original great while also advancing the gameplay and world. If you're a fan of deductive games or visual novels, it is a must-play!Featuring: Jono Logan and Tom Naylor; Edited by Jono LoganGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: podcast@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomBluesky: @rpgfan.bsky.socialInstagram: @rpgfancomThreads: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomThis Episode's Related Links:Assassin's Creed ShadowsWanderstop ReviewExpelled!

Sakes alive, we're 35, and in this episode we've been inspired by the recent release of Wanderstop to turn our attention to the nebulous topic of cosy games. Is "cosy" a genre? A theme? A vibe? Are all cosy games broadly the same, or is it just a blanket term that can refer to any game without a central combat mechanic? Is "cosy" even still a valid classification now that we've moved so far past all major new titles being, essentially, Doom with a different paint job? All these questions and more will be debated enthusiastically by the Indieventure trio, even if we entirely lack the ability to form a consensus that provides you with definitive answers. What we can manage, however, is to rattle off a bunch of cosy game recommendations, drawing from personal favourites and cosy classics (and indeed both) to come up with a list that encompasses indie titles as disparate as Stardew Valley (naturally), Chicory: A Colorful Tale, Dorfromantik, Dungeons of Hinterberg, the Frog Detective trilogy, House Flipper 2, Lil' Gator Game, Ooblets, PowerWash Simulator, Proteus, Tangle Tower, Tiny Life, TOEM, Wilmot Works It Out, and Frostpunk (no, really!). We also have a crack at an informal group review of Wanderstop, which has elicited an impressive array of thoughts and opinions among a trio of people who normally tend to kind of agree on most things. Who thought what? You'll have to listen to find out, but I can reveal it's a good chat. (And if you haven't yet listened to the recent Indieventure Extra episode where Liam interviews creators Davey Wreden and Karla Zimonja, here's the link to that!) Finally, as always, we end with our current hyperfixations. Liam is still absolutely caning through an essential catalogue of new and recent game releases, and has this time turned his attention to Monster Hunter Wilds, the latest in Capcom's long-running series about invading the habitats of majestic creatures and turning their hides into some fancy pants. Rebecca is trying to live by Wanderstop's example and be kinder to herself, which mainly involves taking a lot of naps at the moment, but she also throws in a couple of bonus recommendations for anti-burnout narratives in the form of Travis Baldree's high fantasy coffee shop novel Legends & Lattes, and of course the evergreen Pokémon Concierge miniseries. And Rachel's circled back to Mindhack, a dystopian visual novel about neutralising enemies of the state with beautiful electronic flowers that painfully rewire their dissident thoughts. You might remember this one from a couple of years ago, and it's good to see it still steadily making its way through early access, and now including four chapters of a planned eight-slash-nine.

Wanderstop is the new game from developer Ivy Road, founded by Davey Wreden, Karla Zimonja, and C418. What looks like a farming game is an exploration of burnout, anxiety, and the "to-do" list nature of video games. It's not for everyone but it might be for you!

Hello and welcome back to Indieventure Extra, our bonus series where we interview key members of the games industry. Liam recently sat down with Davey Wreden (The Stanley Parable, The Beginner's Guide) and Karla Zimonja (Gone Home) to chat about Wanderstop, their recently released game about a burned-out warrior attempting to find solace by running a tea shop in the woods. If you've yet to play Wanderstop, there are no spoilers to be found here, so don't worry. Davey and Karla mainly chatted about how the game came to be, what it's like to make a game about burnout that is actively burning you out as you're making it, as well as the challenges - and the benefits - of making a narrative-led game within the cosy genre framework. We also spoke about Boro. Best Boy Boro. Here is the TTRPG about parrying that Karla mentioned in the Hyperfixations section. Enjoy! Our music was written and performed by Ollie Newbury!

As admirers of Davey Wreden's previous work, we're now thrilled to review his latest game, “Wanderstop”, a cozy tea-making game with a character-driven narrative and some poignant moments that are darker than you'd typically expect from this type of fare. We'll stay spoiler-free for our discussion here, but if you'd like to play the game fresh please know that we wholeheartedly recommend it to cozy game fans and other gamers alike!Wanderstop is available on Steam and Playstation on March 11th:https://store.steampowered.com/app/1299460/Wanderstop/https://store.playstation.com/en-us/concept/10011513Music by C418: https://c418.bandcamp.com/If you have upcoming indie game recommendations, or just want to reach out, feel free to contact us at LevelWithUsPodcast [at] gmail [dot] com!We are on all major podcasting platforms: https://anchor.fm/levelwithusTimestamps:0:00 - Introduction1:28 - What is Wanderstop?3:25 - Main Discussion11:22 - ⭒Star Pieces15:28 - Quick Jabs17:03 - Who's the Fake Fan?22:04 - Who do we recommend this game to?23:25 - Musical Spotlight & Credits

Davey Wreden, the creator of the Stanley Parable, is trying to answer the question, Can a game really give us insight into the mind of a developer?  What can the games within The Beginner's Guide tell us about the enigmatic and reclusive Coda?

I metaracconti sono affascinanti, e lo sono anche i meta-programmi-tv, quelli che esistono solo nella finzione di altri programmi tv (veri). Benvenuti nel mondo di Nestflix!LINKNestflix https://nestflix.fun/Qui parlo di Davey Wreden e del suo meta videogioco The Beginner's Guide https://addressapproximate.wordpress.com/2015/11/03/if-a-game-designer-in-a-designed-game/TESTO TRASCRITTO (English translation below)C'è un genere artistico che mi piace particolarmente, è quello del meta racconto della meta opera d'arte cioè il racconto, il libro l'opera d'arte o anche il videogioco che si trovano all'interno di un altro libro, di un'altra opera d'arte o di un altro videogioco. Pensate a 'Se una notte d'inverno un viaggiatore' di Italo Calvino che è un libro che racchiude decine di altri libri dove però si sviluppa una storia, oppure io penso anche a 'The beginner's guide' il videogioco di Davey Wreden l'autore di 'The Stanley Parable' che se avete sentito un po' dei miei racconti nei tre minuti grezzi mi pare di avergli dedicato anche un episodio perché è un videogioco che trascende il racconto e trascende anche il rapporto tra narratore e giocatore. Girovagando tra le mie newsletter che ricevo ogni mattina me è arrivata una che parla dell'ennesimo racconto meta, e questa volta parliamo delle serie Netflix. Vi sarà capitato di guardare qualcosa alla televisione e in questo qualcosa si parla di un'altra serie televisiva, quindi la serie televisiva all'interno della serie televisiva. Ecco c'è una persona che ha pensato di raccogliere tutte queste false serie televisive, che non esistono se non nella finzione del racconto della serie televisiva, e di organizzarle così come vengono organizzati i programmi televisivi e gli sceneggiati all'interno del sito di Netflix. Avete presente no? Tutti i quadratini, tu clicchi sul quadratino e ti si apre la scheda del programma e poi puoi guardare il programma. È esattamente così, ha esattamente lo stesso design, l'unica differenza è che quando clicchi sul quadratino che ti parla del programma, non ti si apre il programma vero e proprio, non puoi guardarlo perché ripeto è un programma di finzione, però c'è un piccolo resoconto, una sinossi che ti dice di cosa parla e in quale programma reale appare. Ne ho aperto un paio che avevano attirato la mia attenzione, uno di questi è 'Fast animals slow children', animali veloci bambini lenti, ogni episodio è un interessantissimo inseguimento: gli animali sono molto veloci e i bambini sono molto lenti, naturalmente appare su 'Family guy' che è una serie di cartoni animati ideata da Seth MacFarlane, in italiano mi pare che si chiami i Griffin, è molto sarcastico.ENGLISH TRANSLATIONThere is an artistic genre that I particularly like, it is the meta story, the meta work of art, i.e. the story, the book, the artwork or even the video game that are inside another book, another work of art or another video game. Think of 'If on a winter's night a traveller' by Italo Calvino, which is a book that contains dozens of other books where a story develops, or I also think of 'The beginner's guide' the videogame by Davey Wreden the author of 'The Stanley parable' that if you are familiar with the stories I tell in my podcast 3 uncut, I think I have also dedicated an episode to it, because it is a video game that transcends the story and also transcends the relationship between narrator and player. Wandering through the newsletters that I receive every morning, I got one that talks about yet another meta story, and this time we are talking about Netflix. It must have happened to you, to watch something on TV and in this something they talk about another TV series, which is therefore a TV series within the TV series. Someone has decided to collect all these fake TV series, which do not exist except in the fiction of the TV series, and to organize them as TV programs and dramas are organized within the Netflix site. You know, don't you? All the squares, you click on one square and the program tab opens and then you can watch the program. It is exactly like that, it has exactly the same design, the only difference is that when you click on the square that tells you about the program, the real program does not open to you, you cannot watch it because, I repeat, it is a fictional program, but there is a small summary, a synopsis that tells you what it's about and what real program it appears in. I opened a couple that caught my attention, one of them is 'Fast animals slow children', each episode being a very interesting chase: the animals are very fast and the children are very slow, of course it appears on 'Family guy 'which is a cartoon series created by Seth MacFarlane, in Italian I think it's called the Griffins, it's very sarcastic.

Ben and Tao sit down to overcome their differences through Dr Hakim's therapy-with-a-difference in the maritally redemptive, cooperative 3D platforming genre mangler, It Takes Two. In a very grown up discussion, they chat relationship difficulties, target audiences, comparable cooperative games and the confusion of critical acclaim, the role of minigames - charming or cheap? - and there's even some bonus audio from their hilariously incompetent gameplay together.   Spoilers from early on and with warnings, but nothing that would ruin the gameplay experience.   Content Warning: PEGI 12, argumentative and petty, with poor parenting tips. We are not counsellors. Very coarse language.   Clarifications: It Takes Two is rated PEGI 12 for moderate violence and use of bad language. Violence is non-realistic, and no blood or injuries are shown. The Stanley Parable is an interactive drama and walking simulator designed and written by developers Davey Wreden and William Pugh. The game carries themes such as choice in video games, the relationship between a game creator and player and predestination/fate. The therapy podcast referenced is Where Should We Begin with Esther Perel. Ben references (and highly recommends) Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions by Johann Hari The music for It Takes Two was composed by Gustaf Grefberg and Kristofer Eng. One track (‘The Extermination') also includes reference to "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Rimsky-Korsakov Audio extracts: Puss in Boots (2011) Peer Gynt Suite No. 1 Op. 46, III: Anitra's Dream Portal ‘Still Alive' All Shook Up - Elvis Presley Super Mario Party Battlezone 1980 Honey I Shrunk The Kids (1989) Hercule Poirot - Murder Under The Sun The Lion King - Mufasa's Death Wall-E (2008) Olympics Long Jump Final Rio 2016 A Little Less Conversation - Elvis Presley A Way Out OST by Sam Hulick and Gustaf Grefberg Fortnite title music for seasons 3-10 by composer Pinar Toprak Hitch (2005) Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pixelvisionpod Twitter: @pixelviz Email: pixelvisionpod@gmail.com

The Stanley Parable and The Beginner's Guide are two deeply unusual games by US developer Davey Wreden. This week's show takes a dive into the alternately surprising, hilarious and disturbing waters of their bizarre metafictional stories. Also covered: the troubled release of Lost Ember, and some first thoughts on Ori & The Blind Forest and Ori & The Will Of The Wisps.

Thanks for listening!

Matt and Lucas take a look at the number one video game simulators. The Stanley Parable and The Beginner's Guide. We were so excited about covering these games and by extension, the developer Davey Wreden, we decided to go for a Double Episode!

This is an unplanned and unedited conversation between Henry and Yuta. Like a lot of long conversations it's very rambly and filled with lots of different topics. We talk about Mike Tyson, grading in university, bizarre social phenomena at Reed College, the "meta" video games 'The Stanley Parable' and 'The Beginner's Guide' both from developer Davey Wreden, and the self-referential movie 'Adaptation' by Charlie Kaufman.

Entre l'essai, la blague et la méta-fiction, The Stanley Parable est peut-être le jeu le plus atypique sur lequel Fin Du Game est revenu. Il nous enferme dans un dialogue interactif avec un narrateur sarcastique auquel on pourra choisir d'obéir ou non. Et si les nombreuses fins qui découlent de ces choix peuvent sembler très différentes les unes des autres, elles nourrissent toutes une même réflexion sur la liberté et les contraintes que nous offrent les jeux vidéo. 7 ans après sa sortie finale, le jeu de Davey Wreden et William Pugh est toujours aussi pertinent.

Stop putting lampposts in my podcasts. Welcome back to NOCLIP Pocket! For our first episode of the year, we’re going to be taking a look at Davey Wreden’s The Beginner’s Guide. While the developer is certainly best known for The Stanley Parable, this game does a lot to show the level of dedication Davey has to making narrative games that break the mold of what you would expect from the genre. In this particular instance, we are being taken on a tour through the games of “Coda,” a hobbyist developer and friend of Davey’s, as they become more and more disjointed and laden with symbolism. While this is happening, there is narration playing to give context to the games and explain what some things mean and how they came to be. And all of that text was necessary to give you a basic explanation for what this game is, but it is the emotional core that really gives the game its flavor. Play it for yourself before listening if it at all seems interesting. Why? Because we’re talking about the narrative structure of a game about games with narrative structures, game development and its associated stresses, and how this game is basically a sequel to Half-Life 2’s developer commentary. Thank you for joining us this episode, and we’ll be back (hopefully in a shorter time) with an episode about Harvest Moon, marking the legendary return to handheld consoles in a series called “Pocket.” We hope you’ll check it out!

Act I: It's Trivia Time on StructurePod with Charlie and Joey! Plus: election updates, a foray into privilege, and a tarot reading. Act II: A discussion of The Stanley Parable and The Beginner's Guide, two games for Mac & PC by Davey Wreden.   Sorry we're late this week! We'll try to do better. Hope to see you next week for Neo Cab or in two weeks for Arbitrary Stupid Goal!

Hello! We're back! Last week I did a bad and forgot there was a holiday, so to make up for it we had an ~*~extended discussion~*~ on Davey Wreden's "The Beginner's Guide," because boy did we have a lot to say about it!

"Press 'escape', and press 'quit'. There is no other way to beat this game. As long as you move forward, you'll be walking someone else's path. Stop now, and it will be your only true choice." - Female Narrator, The Stanley Parable Kat and Emily explore the complicated relationship between the protagonist and the narrator, tackling questions of narrative reliability, game design linearity, and player choice in Bastion, The Stanley Parable, and the Portal series. Games: Valve Corporation. Portal. Xbox 360 version. 2007. Valve Corporation. Portal 2. Xbox 360 version. 2011. Davey Wreden. The Stanley Parable. PC version. Galactic Cafe, 2011-2013.

The Stanley Parable originated as a mod for Half-Life 2 made by Davey Wreden. The mod proved to be relatively popular for its unique sense of humor and the way it played with gaming interactivity in novel ways. The result was that it became a fully fledged title that released at the tail end of 2013. Falling into that adventure game sub-genre of games that are sometimes derisively called "walking simulators," The Stanley Parable focuses on exploring interactivity in a digital medium by posing an iconic choice to the player: If you enter a room with two doors and someone tells you to go through the door on the left, but you are fully capable of going through the door on the right, which do you choose? With humor, minimalist design, and some brilliant voice work by Kevan Brighting, is The Stanley Parable one of the best games period?

In this Episode - The Stanley Parable We're going to spoil The Stanley Parable, so if you haven't played it... go and do that then come back. First we discuss our nerd week, and the news. Gaming News: Wargaming CEO accepts blame, vows renewed focus on World of Tanks  Sega, Creative Assembly Announce Total War: Warhammer 2 About The Stanley Parable The Stanley Parable: The Adventure Line™ The Stanley Parable is an interactive fiction video game designed by Davey Wreden. The game originally released on July 27, 2011 as a free modification for Half-Life 2. Engine: Source Genre: Interactive fiction Writer(s): Davey Wreden; William Pugh Narrator: Kevan Brighting Designers: William Pugh, Davey Wreden Developers: Galactic Cafe, Davey Wreden The Stanley Parable Game Discussion: Game Club Overview The Stanley Parable is a first person exploration game. You will play as Stanley, and you will not play as Stanley. You will follow a story, you will not follow a story. You will have a choice, you will have no choice. The game will end, the game will never end. Contradiction follows contradiction, the rules of how games should work are broken, then broken again. This world was not made for you to understand. But as you explore, slowly, meaning begins to arise, the paradoxes might start to make sense, perhaps you are powerful after all. The game is not here to fight you; it is inviting you to dance. What choices did you make on the first play through? The inner workings of narrative games. What Stanley Parable says about games and game development.

Pony Island Pony Island is a suspense puzzle game in disguise. You are in limbo, trapped in a malevolent and malfunctioning arcade machine devised by the devil himself. The devil detests having his puzzles solved and poor programming exposed; you will need to think outside the box to proceed and you will be insulted when you do. Daniel Recommends Portal 1 & 2 Set in the mysterious Aperture Science Laboratories, Portal has been called one of the most innovative new games on the horizon and will offer gamers hours of unique gameplay. The game is designed to change the way players approach, manipulate, and surmise the possibilities in a given environment; similar to how Half-Life® 2's Gravity Gun innovated new ways to leverage an object in any given situation. Players must solve physical puzzles and challenges by opening portals to maneuvering objects, and themselves, through space. Thomas Was Alone Steam, Kinguin,  Thomas Was Alone is an indie minimalist 2D platformer about friendship and jumping and floating and anti-gravity. Guide a group of rectangles through a series of obstacles, using their different skills together to get to the end of each environment. Listen to awesome music by David Housden. Jump over rectangles meticulously placed by Mike Bithell. Listen to voiceover read wistfully and a bit amusingly by Danny Wallace.   The Stanley Parable is available on: Steam - US$14.99 Kinguin - AU$8.56 Reach out to Game Club on Twitter: Tweet to us using #GameClubCast Follow Daniel - @nfgDan Encourage Charles to Tweet - @CharlesBryers Read Catherine's scripts - @CSMcMullen   Next Time on Game Club This War of Mine Steam, Kinguin In This War Of Mine you do not play as an elite soldier, rather a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle. The pace of This War of Mine is imposed by the day and night cycle. During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, so you need to focus on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of your survivors. At night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge through a set of unique locations for items that will help you stay alive. Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them for longer-term survival. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better. PS. There's currently a sale on Humble Bundle for This War of Mine, if you're playing along with us, it may be worth picking up a copy here.

Join us for a discussion of The Beginner's Guide. This game is so complicated and so deep and so oddly emotional - whether funny or brutally devastating is really up to you, apparently - that we bring in a psychiatrist to help us sift through the experience. I'm having a hard time deciding exactly what to type here about this game; it's almost a divine experience certainly without parallel in the gaming space, an opinion I hold to the level of that for Kentucky Route Zero. The Beginner's Guide is not as much all about videogames as The Stanley Parable, but instead it's a game all about the making of games, the sustaining of the creative forces required to make such inhumanly exhausting projects that are such pieces of the creators' soul(s). I don't want to spoil this experience for any of you (spoiling is what listening to our podcast is for, after all), but take it from me: this is a game you should play if you've ever even considered the humans behind your games.We recommend listening to our The Stanley Parable podcast beforehand, the spiritual precursor to this game, also by Davey Wreden.Relevant links!Check out our own musician Pauly, whose song Unravishing is featured in this episode!Galactic Cafe: Davey Wreden's blog post about The Stanley ParableThe Artist is Absent: Davey Wreden and The Beginner's Guide - a truly amazing analysis video of The Beginner's Guide by Innuendo Studios on YouTube (33m)Errant Signal: The Beginner's Guide - another awesome breakdown analysis from the YouTube channel Errant Signal (20m) - watch this if you suspect Coda might be a real personThe theme this week is "The Func" by VCMG, a free download from chipmusic.org.The Will's Quiz Minute(tm) theme is Linker, also by beloved Pauly!
