I don't get it.
>>732615857uoh
You explore the little girl's dreams. That's it.
you can get it on Steam
>>732615971Pretty much.
Mado sure has some weird dreams.>>732616025>there's no fucking way its-Oh it actually is, wow. I remember the only way of getting this to work back in the day was to mess around with a RPGmaker .exe you'd download off some shady site because the whole thing was in nipponese. How times change.
>>732615971Maybe Madotsuki isn't a kid she's a midget and that's why she's so sad?

tragic what happened to the 3d version of the game; that showed me pretty early on in life how fetid fanbases can and will be
>>732617853A comment that cryptic usually comes with a story.
>>732618543I feel like it's pretty straightforward, it's supposed to be anyway.The 3d game yume nikki: dream diary released in a sort early access state and was supposed to receive periodic updates but it's development had to end prematurely because the rabid fanbase couldn't stop screeching about how it wasn't like the 2d game.
>>732618747I skipped it because it looked kinda generic. Are there many secrets like the original game? Is it worth a play?
>>732618917I can't tell you the details since I played it 5+ years ago but I can tell you that the music is stellar and the art direction and atmosphere has many great moments that I still remember vividly.It's janky but overall I loved the game and the fact that I still remember a good chunk of it is proof of that to me.
>>732615857it was nice discussing all the little quirks surrounding it back in the early 2010's, you kinda had to be there to get itthe fangames are cool as well but they all fail at capturing the vibe of the originalhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJU7ex_uZlI
>>732616584https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMwvDxI5MPk>>732616650really like this one as well, but i get anxious every time i hear it because i've been using it as my alarm clock sound for almost 10 years now
>>732616458Cool art.
>>732616584Pink sea(original pitch) and 8 bit overworld.
>>732619267>the fangames are cool as well but they all fail at capturing the vibe of the originalThey don't necessarily have to, but I agree. There's a very deliberate sort of madness to Kikiyama's art direction that very few have been able to match.
>>732619267They don't need to capture it, they can transmit their own vibe just like .flow, LcdDem and early 2kki.
>>732615857You are a hikki that only plays vidya and lucid dreams until you get bored with life and jump off the balcony.
>>732619267>Got into Yume Nikki in 2010>Never went on 4chan because I was a baby teen who avoided any site that had a reputation for viruses>Never discussed the game anywhere else either because of a chronic desire to not be seen or known back then, even online>"you kinda had to be there to get it"Is it weird to say I both was and wasn't there? I still regret not trying to engage with any circles actually talking about it.
What got me to actually sit down and play Yume Nikki was when Mish Koz said that it’s an entire game that feels like what the last hour of Earthbound feels like. If that description entices you, go play it, but be sure to get some kind of spoiler-free walkthrough or guide to all the sightseeing stuff, because you can start bouncing and hitting walls very quickly if you don’t know where to go and you will never trigger the game’s most interesting events by accident. Also remember to play the objective and actually try to collect the effects.
>>732621116How did you escape it? I still avoid online social interactions at all costs and dunno how or where to talk to people
I find this game really hard to play. Something about it puts me on edge. Maybe I'm a fucking pussy.
>>732621714I never truly escaped it. I had a phase where I was a lot more sociable, and I have good friends because of it, but I still have long bouts where I just don't talk to them, despite them messaging me near daily with no response. I wish I could say there was more to it than being lucky and finding some extroverted people who you can actually get along with that won't give up on you just because you don't feel like talking sometimes, but it really does just come down to following your whims and trying to chat with strangers. It doesn't help that social interaction online is the worst it's ever been. The Tumblr era of social media really was the final decent chance anyone had of forming sincere bonds with strangers.
>>732619131>5+ years agoYume Nikki 3d was good for what it wasIt was definitely different but it did capture the feeling of the original in novel waysBut given Kikiyama is dead, there will always be criticism about any kind of addition or deviationSomeone who should be beheaded is the literal jew who was trying to """make""" yume nikki PS(X) as that is an abomination
Whatever happened to that Yume Nikki 4chan project people wanted to do?
Been prototyping a HL1 mod in a similar vein to YK, too bad my crippling procrastination and work schedule means all I've gotten done is a basic zoo map and some of the planned gameplay elements, which was mostly implementing inventory items (mostly related to map specific puzzles) and the interactable prompts (pick up, use, open/close, talk, etc.)Kind of wish I could NEET it up like I did when I was off work for a while due to injury the other year so I could no-life working on it.
>>732622329>spoilerOnly reason that shit is horrid is because it's being heavily influenced by discord trannies
>>732621614As a man who played earthbound like a year ago and who played yume nikki more than a decade ago and repeatedly, that is extremely subject to your own internal understanding of how either plays outVery little about yume nikki is guided and presents any kind of feeling beyond what the score is capable of due to the fact that there is no story beyond what you are "dreaming" up yourself in response to the eventsYou may have a depthy and imaginative internal world, but the game barely begets anything on its own
>>732622382Abandoned and incomplete
>>732622531>influencedIt's made by one. This is plainly apparent if you go through to effort to try the demoPure soulless and hollow imitation of what the rpgmaker game is from screenshots and not the experience of it
>>732622531terminally online """social""" losers ruining yet another thing does not surprise me in the slightest at this point
>>732622402Show your shit when you get something done
>>732622284
This music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHPZqIYnaLMJust a reference to a recent thread.
>>732615857The atmosphere, the music, it was one of the first games of its kind, the fact that it doesn't have a story/plot and everything is speculation or theories...
>>732620183>There's a very deliberate sort of madness to Kikiyama's art direction that very few have been able to matchWhich few would those be? None have managed to do that for me personally, but the closest I think any game has gotten was Neftelia, though that may just be because of how much more vague it is. It's easier to project the things you want onto something when it leaves nearly everything up to your interpretations.
>>732623480Absolutely, I just need to yknow, actually get stuff done.Didn't want to get too in the sticks scratchpad'ing out bits of levels and making assets until I made the actual game parts, so I have nothing but one boring grey box for testing gameplay features.
>>732615857Lonely little girl neet has a wild imagine and wastes her time away day dreaming.
>>732626023Not a Yumelike, but Black Souls 2 felt more like a "successor" to Yume Nikki than most any other RPGMaker project.
>>732615857Ita an abstract art gallery set in a 2d pixel world.
>play the game with headphones on>most of the bgms are oddly pitched short loops>view all the events>complete the game>take headphones off>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYume Nikki gave me tinnitus and I still have it over 15 years later
>>732626587I have yet to play Black Souls 2, but if it's anything like BS1 then that comparison might be very apt. In a weird way, despite it being a turn-based inspired version of Dark Souls, that translation into 2D makes Dark Souls closer to Yume Nikki than you'd expect.
>>732626587I would say Omori's black space segment is a great sucessor to Yume Nikki
>>732627437Omori was supposed to be a Yume-like btw
I don't think it's particularly deep or anything, it's just cool in a zen, dreamlike sort of way. There's just enough of a goal to say you aren't walking around for no reason, but whether it's the art direction, music loops, event flags or the effects, I'd say the main appeal is the holistic sense of feeling like you're wandering through dreamscapes.
>>732628486This. It's what made Yume 2kki a great successor, until it became a steaming pile of shit.
>>732615857You're not supposed to get it. You're supposed to feel it.

>>732629710fuck you
>>732629921?
>>732629339Damn, hit any nerve? Well, actually both games have their main characters commit suicide in the endings.
That Mother song that plays in that small patch of grass
>>732629339What
>>732615857Madotsuki was raped
I know Yume Nikki is more of a "embrace the vibes exploring" game than a "beat the game" game, but I will never not be pissed off that when playing the game blind I found the first 23 effects in about 10 hours, and then spent the next 15 walking in circles looking for the last one. You know which one I was missing? Fucking Long Hair. I had made the (reasonable) assumption that there wouldn't be two effects in the game room (since that's how it works for the rest of the game), and in my notes I already marked the Mural World as having been completely explored. The NPC that gives you the effect moves around, so even though I had seen every tile in the rooms multiple times, I either never bumped into it or didn't notice it wasn't the same NPC as the one that gives you the Blonde effect. I ended up giving up searching and just looking it up. Ruined the game for me.
>>732631795>game room*same room
>>732629710Why not 2kki, I haven’t played this in months.

>>732629710The chat is insufferableToo bad you don't have to go through the locale filter to play these games anymore, kids have it too easy these days
