/jp/, whats your opinion on Yume Nikki and its fangames?

>exploring a strange dreamlike world.
A world that's nigh totally uninteractable.
I'm fine with floaty, no-specific-purpose-to-the-game ideas but it's literally just walking around. If I wanted to look at weird scenery and backgrounds I can do that with simple images that don't require me pointlessly piloting a character. It's not fun to get an effect and then meander through 12 worlds to find the one spot it might actually be useful only to be rewarded with more pointless wandering
>>
>>48912659
I think there's a pretty well-defined distinction between an artist making something with the hope that it will be meaningful to someone, and making something with a specific meaning in mind such that anyone who doesn't discover that one intended meaning has "missed the point".
Yume Nikki is the former, and that's a big part about what's so great about it. Some people (not necessarily anyone in this thread, mind you) treat it like it's the latter. And if that's how they choose to enjoy the game, that's fine for them, but it isn't a truer way to experience the game just because they're taking it more seriously.
At the same time, I think that people who choose to play a modded version of the game that wildly changes the experience by adding multiplayer ARE having a less "true" experience. Rather than approaching the game at face value, they're modifying it to be closer to what THEY think the game should be.
Perhaps this is more fun for them, but it's fundamentally different from a person who takes the game as it is presented and develops a relationship with it.
And I don't have anything against expanding on someone else's creation after you fall in love with it. But your expansion is inequivalent to the original work and isn't going to be a replacement for it.

So my opinion is that I would strongly discourage someone from playing a multiplayer mod for Yume Nikki unless they were already well familiar with the original version.
Even if there is no one right way to enjoy a game, there may be, and in this care I think there are, wrong ways to enjoy it. (At least for a first playthrough.)

>>48912692
You're thinking about this in the wrong terms.
It's not about the "cost" of the time it takes you to find an interaction or the "reward" of being allowed into a new area.
It's about being part of a setting, a fixture in the world.
Have you ever been in a play? It's a lot like that.
It's not about the cost of the time it takes you to learn your lines or the reward of social status for your acting.
It's the experience of being someone else in another place, and the journey that surrounds that.

Now, I agree that you don't have to play Yume Nikki to have that kind of experience. With the right mindset, you can do that in any game. Yume Nikki's strengths are not unique to it.
Rather, what makes Yume Nikki unique is the simplicity of its version of this experience. It gives you this journey without needing dialogue, without needing cutscenes or tutorials, without even having a story or a plot. It's a singularly minimalist adventure, which gives it a different texture from other games.

And while I'm a good way towards writing a novel about it at this point, I don't think it's a perfect game or no better game like it exists.
But if you can't get anything out of Yume Nikki at all, that speaks more about your mindset and the way you approach games than it does about the quality of Yume Nikki itself. You're failing to meet it on a level where you can enjoy it.
And the reason is that it's such an open-ended experience. It's like saying that a deck of cards is lame and you can't have any fun with it. That's silly, I don't agree with it. You just aren't applying your imagination.
>>
>>48912659
I just take kikiyama words as true. I don't think he meant it as bait and switch with some cryptic meaning for people to discover under seemingly random worlds. I really think the game is primarily about wandering around in surreal dreams, with some repeating characters, themes and imagery scattered around to seed interpretations if you decide to make some, not to lead you towards some intended meaning.
>>
>>48912788
>It's about being part of a setting, a fixture in the world.
The lack of meaningful interaction stakes that rather soundly. Madotsuki is the one item that simply does not fit, totally unlike every setting she's in. Even the effects you gather are (so far as I've found) not meaningful where you find them even though they would help the character fit the setting at least a little bit.
>journey
Half the dream zones are nigh dead-empty. The ones that aren't are mazes that stop offering you anything to do but bash your head against a maze for the sake of it. There's a serious disjoint between exploring a nonsensical world when you give me effects that I must make sense of to progress.
Fundamentally I protest the idea this is a game, it's about as much of a game as 52-card pickup is to a deck of cards, even if I "imagine I'm treasure-hunting" as I pick up the cards I scattered.
Closest aspect to a game is "don't get got by the characters that teleport you to a dead spot"
A deck of cards has near unlimited gaming potential because it can have a variety of rules and structures applied to it to give it coherence and a purpose.

>>48912655
the wiki is a fine resource, probably among the best wikis for any game on the internet, but there's a classic image here on /jp/ that explains what I'm going to say next. I can't find it, but
The text in most wiki articles is not actual Touhou lore. It's an interpretation of it, but it is not completely accurate. Character pages are probably where most mistakes happen; saying it bluntly, any unsourced claim is not to be believed, and any claim with a source ought to be checked twice to see if the source supports what's written there. Description of locations and concepts also frequently suffer from inaccuracies.
for other stuff like game info, translation of snippets, printwork info, it's generally a very good resource, but by no means perfect. the "fandom" pages are also useful reading, because even if not 100% accurate, topical or updated they provide good background on some older fandom stuff that might be hard to understand. just don't forget that actual fandom interpretation nowadays can diverge quite significantly from what's written there.

Revelation 12:
A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head.
2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth
3 Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads.
4 Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born.
5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.”[a] And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne.
6 The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days.
