Father Zhang immediately shook his head. “Game? I’m not interested.”

Mama Zhang chimed in. “What game are you playing so late at night? Let’s watch a television show. The television show I watched previously is almost the end.”

Zhang Yan quickly said, “Let’s play for a while before watching the television. It won’t be too long.”

“What’s more, even though this game is a puzzle game, it tests wisdom and skills. Dad, I think you’re definitely not as good as mom in this aspect.”

Father Zhang was unhappy. “I’m not as good as your mom? What a joke. Your mom has never won me in anything that requires brain power!”

Mama Zhang was unhappy as well. “Old man, you like to talk nonsense. Did you hear that? You still need skills. Do you remember the last time I pulled you to dance on the square? You gave up in less than five minute, remember?”

Seeing that neither of them was giving in, Zhang Yan felt that the opportunity was here. She quickly opened the exclusive game on the game router.

“Alright, alright. Stop fighting. We’ll know who’s better after playing for five minutes, right?”

Zhang Yan became popular from left to right. As she wished, she officially began the game.

…

After entering the game, the first part was a CG.

It looked like an old apartment building from twenty to thirty years ago. A pair of parents and a little boy were eating breakfast at the dining table.

“Dad and Mom have to work overtime over the weekend. Take care of yourself at home, understand?”

“Remember that we’ll check your homework when we’re back. Don’t play games in secret!”

His parents repeatedly reminded him, and the child nodded seriously.

Breakfast was over in no time. The mother quickly cleared the cutlery and put them into the sink. Then, she looked at her watch and realized that she was about to be late. Thus, she left the important task of washing the dishes to her child and her father and rushed out.

The child spread his weekend homework on the coffee table, sat on the sofa, and began to study seriously.

The clock on the wall was ticking. More than two hours had passed. The child finally stretched and completed his homework for the day.

He immediately stood up, moved a chair over, and secretly took down the game machine from the tall cabinet in his parents’ bedroom and put it on the television.

This was an old gaming machine that could only play simple games. However, it was still a novel toy filled with infinite temptation and charm to children at this time.

However, after picking up the television this time, there was no familiar game image on the screen. Instead, a line of words appeared.

“Do you want to experience a truly fun game? Do you want to feel a joy that you have never felt before?”

The child subconsciously pressed a button. In the next second, a huge whirlpool appeared and sucked him into the television.

The clock kept ticking. Soon, it was six in the evening.

His parents finally got off work and went home. However, they called out to their children when they were changing their shoes. They did not receive any response.

Both of them panicked and began searching.

At that moment, his mother saw the game machine in front of the television. She suspiciously picked up the controller on the ground.

On the screen of the television, the game seemed to be moving on its own. A small person was trying his best to fight the evil forces in the game!

The mother looked at the television screen carefully and suddenly felt that this small person looked a little similar to her child.

She was just about to say something when a huge whirlpool appeared on the television again, sucking both of them in.

The two of them fell from the sky and onto the ground while screaming.

However, they were shocked to find that they were safe and sound.

They had become cartoonish images in the game, and their surroundings had become a game world that they had never seen before!

…

Zhang Yan secretly observed her parents and realized that they did not look too resistant.

Perhaps it was because they had rescued their children from the clutches of the game that they had gained a sense of immersion.

However, Father Zhang asked suspiciously, “Are the mini games attached to the router so good now?”

They might not play games but they could still distinguish between the quality of the painting.

Their impression of the game was still from a few years ago. At that time, the game’s graphics could be said to be full of mosaics. The entire graphics looked like they were made of small cubes. Now, it had reached the level of an animation movie.

The key was that the puzzle games attached to the router could actually achieve such a level of graphics. It was really surprising.

Zhang Yan quickly explained, “That’s right. Science and technology are developing too quickly nowadays. Didn’t you see how the images of my driving game could be passed off as fake? That would represent the highest level.”

“Games with cartoonish style like this actually don’t eat configurations, so ordinary small-scale equipment can be brought along. This game can even be played on cell phones. If you don’t believe me, look.”

As Zhang Yan spoke, she adjusted the cell phone’s application slightly and connected the cell phone to the network of the game router. Then, she pushed the game graphics onto the cell phone through the game router.

The two elders only believed Zhang Yan after realizing that the game could really run smoothly on the cell phone.

“The current technology is really improving by leaps and bounds. It’s developing too quickly!” The two elders turned their attention to the game again and temporarily ignored this little episode.

Next was the character selection segment. One was playing as a father and the other was playing as a mother.

In fact, more players could join in. They could control one character with two or three people. That way, they could support multiplayer games.

For example, Game Designer had been turned into an action game. Players would climb and jump in a huge box court, triggering various mechanisms. These mechanisms would affect the direction of the game designer.

During this process, both characters would obtain some special superpowers. If three players controlled one character together, one would be able to control movement and jumping. The other two would control two different superpowers. It was equivalent to disassembling the model that required one person to operate into three people.

That way, everyone only needed to focus on their own operations. The two-person game would become a four-person, or even a six-person game.

Even though disassembling the operations of each character would reduce the difficulty of the game and the fun would be weakened to a certain extent, this design could allow more players to participate in the game. It could play a huge role when many people were gathered.

What’s more, he had to take into account that many people were not loyal gamers of the game. Not everyone could use the operation of moving the left joystick and adjusting the perspective of the right joystick. On the other hand, if one person’s operation was divided into three people, the three of them would cooperate with each other. Not only could the difficulty of the operation be reduced, but they could also obtain unique pleasure in working together.

Other than that, there were also different ways to play Multiplayer Games in different game modules. For example, in Mission Choice, every player could control their own fighter jet.

However, there were only three people at that moment. Zhang Yan still had to guide her in the game. It was inconvenient to pull her away. Thus, she used the classic dual mode.

It was obvious that Zhang Yan’s parents were complete newbies. They had never touched the game controller, so they were not very proficient in operating it. Every time a button appeared on the screen, they had to look down at the controller and searched for a long time before they could find it. There was no way. They had to form muscle memory like those proficient players.

What’s more, he looked a little flustered when it came to controlling the camera.

However, the game ‘Dimensional Game Adventure’ had obviously considered these problems when it was first designed.

On one hand, the system had to help him adjust the perspective as much as possible. It would help to adjust the perspective to a suitable direction during the movement process and reduce the operation of new players pushing the right joystick as much as possible.

On the other hand, there were stages to unlock the key function. At the beginning, players only needed to press two to three keys to complete the task. Once similar operations proficiency formed muscle memory, more buttons and new abilities would be gradually unlocked.

The plot of the game was very simple. After the parents entered the game world, they found clues that the child had been here. The child had already cleared these games and headed deeper into the game world.

Parents had to cooperate to complete all sorts of difficulties in order to find their children back. They had to advance step by step and finally find their children.

In various stages, the difficulties and problems they encountered were also different. They had to play their intelligence and cooperate closely to achieve the final goal.

Zhang Yan’s parents did not give in to each other. They asked Zhang Yan for guidance on the operations while playing their intelligence and fought to solve the puzzle in the game.

It had to be said that the cartoonish style of the game was suitable for both young and old. What’s more, this simple and interesting puzzle gameplay could quickly make people immerse in it. There would not be a situation where other game types would pick players.

Zhang Yan could feel that her parents could indeed enjoy this game.

If it were other shooting, driving, or AAA action games, his parents would probably not have started the game at all.

Even if they entered the game, they might be dissuaded within two to three minutes. That was because these games were more picky with players. It was very difficult for people of their parents’ age to obtain fun within them.

However, ‘Dimensional Game Adventure’ was completely different. There were many types of games in this game but these games were basically modified into independent games. Only the simplest and purest fun of the game was retained.

It was just like why some foreign large factories’ games looked childish but could occupy the living room of players all over the world. That was because they could maximize the needs of different types of players from content to gameplay. They could maximize the players’ childishness and remind people of the initial fun of the game.

On the other hand, the release of the Tengda Games router monopoly game, ‘Dimensional Game Adventure’, was obviously working in this direction.
