Can we have a Yume Nikki thread?
I haven't played this in a while. It spooked me good the last time. What's your favorite area?
Update when
>>255080296
When Bioware starts making good games and without gay romances.
>>255080296
Didn't the creator commit suicide?
>>255079282
snow world
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lyI7O7kLP0
It was so nice my first time around to be in this world, where nothing seemed like it was out to kill my psyche, a sudden break from all the creepy. It was nice. Then there was that girl in the igloo, I tried so many effects to try to get her attention, until finally I stabbed her. I don't know why, I just though something might happen. But nothing happened, she just screamed and died. It was, unsettling, to say the least. All I could think about was getting the person in the snow to wake up, I resorted to stabbing them. It's kinda fucked up.
>>255078809
Yume nikki+weed is the best combination.
>>255080465
Oh no nevermind it was the creator of one of the shitty ripoffs, I mean, fangames
Oh yeah, there was supposed to be an update to this game. Is he still working on it? Its gunna be a lot of content if he has been working on it all this time.
>>255079282
Shack town with the purple outline people is the best area. I'd live there.
So what did you do for the 10th anniversary?I posted one of those waifu computer screen picture things in a Yume Nikki thread.
Oh man it's been awhile since I've seen a good YN thread.
Can we up it to rpgmaker game general?
>>255082463
I downloaded a giant picture collection and played through the game.
Christ OP, why do you make a top thread right when I'm about to head to bed.
How would one go about making YN like soundtracks? I've always felt like making video game music would be fun. Then I could become a one man army.
>>255082926
Learn a DAW. Fruityloops and Reason are pretty good for beginners. You don't need a midi keyboard or anything, but it helps. You should have enough ambient noises to play with out of the box.
If you want to do the chiptune side of it, learn to use famitracker. It's a bit more tedious to use than a daw but it gets the job done for 8bit.

Hey now there are good nikki ripoffs.

>>255083118
Thank you kind anon!
>>255082926
From an artfag perspective: familiarize yourself with minimalism, surrealism and existentialism. Afterwards experiment with a multitude of different directions to see what 'feels right'.
>>255083678
t-time is convoluted
>>255083394
Uboachan pls go.
>>255083436
Doesn't really help if you post thebestfangame.
AWW YEAH MUH NIKKIBROS ARE BACK
Commencing dump.
>>255083581
>>255083928
Not for long Anon, I'm sorry.
Madotsuki is cute and I want to help her.
>>255083678
I still can't get into Yume 2kki no matter what I do. Is it just me?
>>255083938
Goth chic as fuck
>>255079282
Probably the pier, or the witch lake. Although I like Mars a lot too.
>>255084054
fuck
Remider that now Yume nikki is tumblr tier
Fucking kikiyama
>>255083928
>>255084054
Lets all enjoy it while it lasts. I miss the nightly Yume Nikki threads back in the day.
>>255084096
fuck off secondary shit
Yume Nikki will never be finished... It will stay at 0.1v forever...
>>255084135
It is pretty damn huge. Why can't you get into it, though?
>>255084135
Nah.
>>255079282It reminds me of my own dreams. Among other things.
>>255084278
Now that's a good idea.
>>255084290
There is no shrug in my shrug folder big enough.
I love her.
>>255084273
I just try to ignore the cancerous tumblrfags, YN still has a great fanbase besides them
At least they still make a fuck ton of art
>>255084328
This picture is really calming. I don't know why.
>>255084278
>nightly
this kills /v/s love for a game every time. fuck off
>>255084508
Memories.
Favorite fan game? Mine is .flow, for sure.
>>255084497
This.
I still can't believe how many fucking fangames there are, goddamn.
Granted, most of them are shit, but still.
>>255084273
What? Since when?
There aren't theories that Madotsuki is an oppressed transexual yet, are there?
>>255084529
It already came and went, anon. and it's not likely to happen again.
>>255084321
I don't know, it just doesn't feel as well put-together as .flow and Yume Nikki. It's like a big convoluted mess of ideas and it doesn't give off the same charm as the other two
>>255084497
I hate them so fucking much
But yeah I love YN threads on /v/, sorry for bringing up this shit.
So much negative energy in the thread tonight. Take a deep breath and think of pleasant memories, Anons.
>>255084612
Same here. If we're talking RPGgames in general it'd be Middens.
>>255084529
Pretty much this. I don't want YN threads on /v/ become /vg/-tier, so please lets not make a lot of these too often. Maybe once a month, tops.
>>255079282
The Neon world. It's so busy and bright it somehow makes me feel peacefulwhich is strange cause I usually hate places like that in real life.
I think part of the reason may be because the neon effect was the first one I found, so getting that and "becoming one of the neons" stuck as a memory.
I also quite like the witch island for some reason.
>>255084612
Either Somnium or .flow, hard to pick a favorite.
>>255084634
Of course there are.
>>255084634
You have no idea
>>255084634
Heh
http://yumenikki.wikia.com/wiki/Theories
>>255084634
Have been even before 4chan 'discovered' the game.
>>255084649
Yeah, I agree. Although, I have to admit is has some amazingly cool events, like the one in the bath house. That spooked the SHIT out of me.
Tumblr really did fuck up RPGmaker games as a whole. It's very difficult to find someone tolerable to talk to about them. I haven't even played a good one since Witch's House. Now they're all about cute shit with rape, or 2edgy "horror" stories.
I don't want to say the scene is dead, but damn.RIP uboachan
>>255084773
I love you, Anon. Wish more people had appreciation for this mindset.
>>255084801
Oh shit, I forgot I had somnium in my backlog. Is it really that good?
>>255079282
I've always been fond of the teleport maze if only because I loved the music that played in it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPoArGxPv1w
>>255084997
Middens.
Gingiva.
LiEat and Alice Mare were okay. Alice Mare was pretty good at points, at that.
I still have no idea why people enjoy this game when it's pretty boring
>>255084997
It hurts, I fucking adore Yume Nikki, /v/ threads are the last safe haven I have
i was in akihabara yesterday with mygirlfriendand i saw one of those 200 yen toy machine things (gatcha gatcha) with yume nikki. She said there was some newer 3D game or something. whats she talking about?
>>255084757
I love middens, haven't finished it though. Mainly because I'm really not a fan of turn-based combat like that.
The game looks amazing, though.
>>255078809
can someone clue me in on the whole back story of Yume Nikki? Like that apocalyptic shit with the aliens or whatever? I love Yume Nikki fan games but Yume Nikki itself never really clicked with me and I intend to change that.
>>255085234
Hot air.
>>255079282
I loved that forest area next to the train. Extremely comfy.
>>255085192
because 2deep4u hipsters love this kind of garbage
>>255084868
>She wants to have the privileges and social status as a female (e.g. a women's toilet) so she flees from her masculinity (the bicycle) and begins to descend (the elevator).
>the privileges and social status as a female
huh...
>>255085321
there is absolutely no official backstory
people just look at all the crazy shit in the game and try to piece together theories themselves
It's part of the reason I love it so much, besides the retarded shit tumblr users come up with
>>255085196Steam id?
>>255085138
Thanks, I haven't heard of the latter two. I'll check them out.
>>255085234
There is a 3D fan game of Yume Nikki. it's pretty cool, but very short. Just look it up on google and you'll find it in no-time.
>>255085321
There is no back story. It is left up to the player to decide if they want a story or not.
>>255085269
Finish it, the last part is easily my favourite part of any game, even beating out Pathologic and the like.
Also, for what it's worth, this is the game that made me like turn based combat. Ostensibly at least.
Genie is my waifu, is the point I'm trying to make.
>>255085196
The threads at night are the only good ones, i've never seen a good YN thread during the day.
>>255085321
There is no backstory, really. It's just a shut in girl exploring her dreams. You can take her dreams as being symbolic, if you wish, and then patch together your own story to her life and her ending. There are plenty of interesting theorys, but the games mostly about just exploring her dreams and finding intrusting shit.
>>255085321
It's left entirely up to interpretation.
>>255085520
Neither come close to the former two. Also you ought to know it's made by a Nip and it's immediately obvious.
Also take my recommendation of LiEat very lightly. It's more of an interactive anime episode set in an interesting world, than enjoyable vidya.
>>255085505
Topic realted to this:
Does anyone think that the developer had any sort of story in mind while making the game? No matter how vague? Or do you think he literally just slapped a bunch of cool looking shit together and hoped for the best?
Either way, good job.
>>255080662
Which one?
>>255084634
>>255084868
>>255085468
This is why I fucking hate westerners, literally the only ones to turn anything "strange" into a 2deep or social justice, why the fuck can't you guys into simply "this is strange and unsettling, it can't be explained?"
There is no meaning behind things, they are there to be strange, and perturbing, nothing else.
>>255085529
There seems to be a bunch of 3d YN remakes, which one is the most complete/best?
>>255085196
Pretty much. Hopefully it stays that way for a long while.
>>255085535
That's because newfags, normies, & shitposters are most active during the day.
>>255084868
Here's a fresh new theory.Madotsuki is really cute and I want to hug her, only if she wants to though.
>>255084634
Oh christ there are, exactly.
I hate it when people project on stuff like this. I can understand the "she was molested/raped" angle, but the "M->F Transexual" theory was pure idiocy.
It's always the fans who make these games smell rank. Remember what happened to OFF? Even Mortis Ghost got sick of the Homestuck and Tumblr crowd making up the stupidest theories.
At least they haven't touched Space Funeral.
>>255085123
Sort of.
It's bizarre in that it wavers between being hammy and silly to being morbid and somber.
When it's being somber, it's pretty damn good.
When it's being silly, it's not nearly as good.
Give it a whirl, you might like it.
>>255085747
Considering they've been good for eight years, I don't see any reason why that'd change.
>>255085738
Holy shit, there are? I thought there was only one.
Try them all?
>>255085809
Will do. I need my fix of spooky.
>>255084997
w-what happened to uboachan
I haven't visited it for a /looong/ time.
There was a daytime Yume Nikki thread a few weeks ago, full of shitposting
Now I see why these should only be made during night
>>255085731
>why the fuck can't you guys into simply "this is strange and unsettling, it can't be explained?"
Because you're allowed to find deeper meanings? That's kinda the entire point of art.
>inb4 thread derails into discussion of whether vidya is art or not
anyone here ever play on Nipper's CS:S maps? If you haven't look them up, they're like really detailed, smaller 3d yume nikki dream worlds to explore. I spent hours exploring them when I first discovered them and still occasionally dick around in them to relax.
>>255085532
Yeah alright I'll try to finish it. I love the collage-styled art, so fucking bizarre.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfkwLoKkwY8&feature=related
This might be my favorite thing to come out of all these theories. Depressing as fuck.
>>255086117
Because it's at night when you dream.
>>255085713
Looking at how the game is composed I'd argue that the game schizophrenicly goes from concept to exploration. Some parts are very clearly just translations of a the creators dreams. Others seem to indicate an overall concept that ties everything together.
Luckely, the creator decided to leave everything up to interpretation. Goes very well with the gameplay.Also the creator identifies as a 'she'.
>>255086117
Night is the best time to play Yume Nikki, so I guess the people who actually like the game would be on during the night.
>>255086095
It's literally tumblr. They completely invaded a couple years ago and it's a marginally faster shithole of rape theories and "hey guyz check out my edgy rape game".
The only good thread on there anymore is the indie game sharethread in /og/.
>>255086117
This has always been the case. Lately, for any indie game. Just make them at night and you're gold.
>>255085738
http://gamejolt.com/games/adventure/yume-nikki-3d/18055/
This one. It recreates the feel of the game really well.
>>255086205
You should read what the guy has written on the game. Very interesting stuff if you're into philosophy of art and fine art in general.
Or at least, I like to think so.
http://middens.tumblr.com/
I don't really have time to pluck the post right now, but everything you could possibly want is on that tumblr.
(The guy also has great taste in film and literature.)
>>255086239
Same, that video's great. Although I still like my YN without theories and shit, personally.
>>255086250
>also the creator identifies as a 'she'
Gonna need source on this.
Favorite fan-made song? I've been listening to this non-stop all day.
http://youtu.be/UDOIphuCv0k
>>255086239
Oh wow anon I haven't seen this in years. It's actually a really interesting theory.
Can anyone explain the true ending of .flow to me? I still have no idea what happened.
>>255086201
I might re-download CS:S just to try that shit out. Thanks anon.
>>255086837
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7C74BoQtAc
I've listened to this thousands of times. Too bad this guy normally only does vocaloid shit.
>>255085731
First I thought of just calling you a "weeb faggot" or something, but this post made me curious too.
Do non-western players not make up theories or anything? For a game I've always assumed was supposed to be intentionally vague so as to leave many possibilities open for interpretation I would only assume that non-western players too would form their own communities and discuss it among their own circles.
Do they not have communities that also make up crackpot theories, or do they simply just not share them?
>>255086837
Can fan-made videos to pre-existing songs count?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loCqC83GxrY
>Yume NIkki 3D will never update
>>255086674
In the few email conversations open to public the creator uses a female pronoun. This might just be affectionate or stylistic. I'm not familiar with any Japanese dialect, but from what I understand it's easier to intermix that with Greco-Judaic languages.
Eitherway, I can't find my source. Which either means it has been removed in the mean time or I remember it wrong. So take that with a grain of salt.
Rhetorics aside, why would it matter if Kikiyama was transgender?
>>255087002
All cultures interpret works, differently at that. That poster is just upset and not accurately assessing the situation.
>>255086201
>That map with the huge face that yelled "EAT SHIT MOTHERFUCKER" whenever you touched it
>That map with the art gallery that teleported you/played different sound claps whenever you interacted with a painting
Shit was great.
I wish Nipper would make another surreal mappack again.

Yeah exactly, which, if it's true that they use a female pronoun, I'll be inclined to follow that as direction.
What ever happened to that whole public interview they were supposed to give 3 years ago or so?
>>255084612
Toilet in Wonderland, although it wasn't really a fan game, just inspired by Yume Nikki
>>255087002
Not who you're responding too, but I think sites and communities like Tumblr are the main difference in the kind of discussion about games compared to the East.
Seeing how conservative japan and china are, I don't think such a thing like the whole DIE CIS SCUM mentality or the SJW-pandering stuff really exists or at least not as strongly over there.
>>255083814
Convolewded?
>>255087351
No please don't bring up OFF it's too painful.
>>255087334
>>255087306
Such a great album. Have you guys heard the "official" music project yet?
>>255087351
OFF REALLY got taken over by the tumblr crowd, much worse than Yume Nikki did
>>255087554
Fine, pastebin it or something and link it for me. That way I can enjoy my chosen misery in solitude.
Oh cool, a YN thread. Time to dump some art.
Is there a remix of the save screen music with a female singer? I seem to recall there being one but I might just be imagining it.
>>255086985
My nigga, probably my favorite song ever.
>>255087417
The YN megamix is hype as hell love that shit.
>>255087554
I haven't. Got any linx?

I get the feeling i'm wrong about this.
>>255087972
It's 'inspired' by it in the same sense that all art is derivative.
I wannapassionatelymake love toa toriningen. Is this normal?
>>255087937
>that magazine
>>255087704
Some one posted it in that other YN thread we had the other day, but I was a dumbass and forgot to save it. Hopefully someone did.
>>255087972
Well Ib isn't really like YN at all. MAYBE it was inspired by it, but I doubt it.
Hey
>>255087972
did the creator actually say that? because ib is very different from yume nikki and the fangames it spun off.
>>255087937
id rather fuck a piranhas mouth than associate with /co/
>>255087926
The last YN thread greatly expanded my paltry folder, so I've quite a bit of art to share.
This game is one of a handful that I'll never really forget playing the first time.
It was winter of 2009. I was in my first year of graduate school in a brand new town. I was adapting very well to a strange place with zero friends and tons of responsibility as a grad student.
We get a shit ton of snow at some point in late January. I knew the storm was coming and I loaded up on tons of food. The storm hit on a Thrusday into Friday night iirc. I had just downloaded the game a few days before but not tried it yet.
We get like 2 and half feet of snow. Half of town is without at electricity that friday morning. Campus is shutdown, and I can't get out of my apartment. My car is under a massive amount of snow. My half of town has power but the internet is down.
So I binge on this game starting Friday night. I was already at a peak of depression. It was one of the most miserable times in my life ever. And I'm snowed in with this game on a dwindling food supply. Basically chugging pop and eating frozen food with mac and cheese.
I proceed to stay up for almost two days. My foul moods were making me lose sleep badly that year. Saturday night at like 3 in the morning, I do Mars. The whole rocket ship crash and the adventures on Mars still creep me the fuck out. The isolation of this part of the game struck a nerve with my real life feelings. Stuck in the snow, depressed, and completely isolated. My whole first experience with game was such a bizarre thing.
I love the game, but I can hardly play it now because it just puts my mind back to that frozen weekend in the snow.
>>255088091as long as it isn't Madotsukisexualizing her is off limits
>>255088142
Oh hell no.
>>255087726
It actually introduced me to electronica as a genre beyond "techno". I would kill for a 320kb/s download.
>>255087417
We Were Just Little Girls hit me hard and I have no idea why.
>>255087751
It's definitely interesting. It's supposedly endorsed by kikiyama. It's mostly vocaloid shit.
It's not bad but I can't say I like it all that much. This song is catchy as hell though.

I don't mean that as in he "left the internet" like Phil Phish or something, but in continued questions about stuff like "Did Zacharie rip off Valerie's face so he could wear it as a mask?" is getting on his nerves. Plus, he doesn't seem to like it when people keep asking about the guy who did Zacharie's audio. Actually, he seems to be creeped out in general by the fangirl obsession with Zacharie in general.
I'll see if I can find the Deviantart posts he made addressing that stuff.
>>255088091
Not even 150 posts in, I'm impressed.
>>255088241
I remember people were doing that in this one thread before Christmas.i was so disgusted that it was the breaking point for me and i finally stopped coming to /v/ every day
>>255088157
Not that guy but I'm glad you brought this up.
Yume Nikki, from what I've heard, inspired non-rpg like elements in an RPGMAKER game. Like seriously, it took the whole jrpg elements and threw it out the window, yet still using the basics of a jrpg maker which is top-down exploration.
Although most would say that yume nikki wouldn't be involved in, lets say Ib, I'd have to disagree because Yume Nikki did inspire this kind of RPGMAKER game.
Just my two cents though.
>>255088195
Too bad
>>255088272
>Actually, he seems to be creeped out in general by the fangirl obsession with Zacharie in general.
I've seen some of the fanart of that. And yeah, that was unsettling. I can see where he might find some problems.
>>255088157
>>255088116
>>255088046
I do recall somewhere a long time ago that it was stated that it took "inspiration" from it. I wish I remembered where I found that though.
>>255088256
I've never really liked vocaloid, honestly. The whole "cutesy japanese grill" voice shit just rings my ears.
>>255088209
SICK BLOG DUDE
But yeah, I'll never forget the first time I played this game. One of the most memorable experience of my life.
So why the hell did the LCDDEM creator suddenly want to completely pull the game off the internet, and tell people to forget it existed?
>>255088725
MODS PLS
>>255088209
Thank you for sharing that anon.
I had just broken up with my gf of 4 years and lived alone in a house that was slowly falling apart. Poor foundation, and the landlord refused to do anything. Kitchen barely functioned, and I had no idea what I was doing next.
Playing YN was such a surreal escape from all that and the end left me feeling kind of numb for awhile. But I think it helped me through the bad bits and got back up on my feet shortly after.
>>255088765
No one knows. It's all a big mystery.Which is fucking cool, makes the game even spookier.
>>255088725
no anon
please
>>255088272
Oh yeah, in case I misread your comment - what "happened" is that during one of Homestuck's "mega-pauses" or whatever, apparently a bored homestuck fan found out about OFF in '09 or so and then shared it with all of them on the homestuck forums, meaning that over night, the game's popularity exploded all over tumblr with the most obnoxious shit imaginable by the most obnoxious, cancerous fandom possible on the internet.
You name it - stupid, creepy shit being sent to people in the OFF credits, Mortis Ghost getting flooded with stupid theories and requests, homestuck/OFF cosplay, the works.
Just the kind of "publicity" I'm sure makes any creator sick of their work.
>>255088725

He did?IIRC, he's a faggot although he's a great composer. Dunno why he's branded as a faggot though.
I'm pretty sure I would love YN, if only I could get the graphics to stop malfunctioning.
So walking simulators are okay when they're made by Japanese devs? Is that the rule?

Don't
>>255088958
Your bait is old and rotten.
did anyone play that fan game called Misère? it was linear but had a cool setting and nice art.
I was working on my own fan game for a bit but quit. It was inspired by twin peaks and you were going to be a park ranger exploring a surreal state park instead of a person exploring their dreams. might get back to it one day.
>>255088635
I agree. I wish the project had been handled differently.
>>255088725
Please don't sexualize the vomit chan.
So what's everyone's favorite rpgmaker title?
For me, Yume Nikki and Witch's House are tied for first, then Space Funeral, then Ib.
>>255088958
it's also an exploration game because you need to find all the effects to see the ending. you can also stab things
>>255088906
Thanks.
But wow, that's intense. Guess it's hard to complain considering he got some notable e-fame, but still.
>>255089026
>>255089075
Don't respond.
>>255088954
Man, how the hell does your computer manage to fuck up a little RPGmaker game?
>>255088958
Nice try. But unluckily for you, I want to enjoy my YN thread.
>>255089098
Middens stands as sole king of the empire. After that comes Yume Nikki and after that Off or .flow.
>>255089128
>it's also an exploration game
There's more to exploring than just walking.
>>255084135
Ah yeah, thanks for reminding me that I was trying to get back into it a while ago and kind of forgot about it again.
>Yume Nikki threads are still the best threads on /v/
feels good
>>255089098
Yume Nikki andJohn's Escape
>>255089360
It's like a time capsule of good /v/.
I thought Mado's anime series was pretty good.
>>255089360

>>255089098
My favorite is YN. Then .flow, then Ib.
>>255089275
there's more to ur mom than her phat cunt m8
>>255089360
I have never seen a bad YN thread, but maybe because I only hang at night time. Day time is full shitposting in general in all the board
When did it become acceptable to have a video game be unwinnable without a guide?
>>255089539
What a ditz.
>>255089275
Like Stabbing things.
>>255089624
Since the NES days. Fuck off.
>>255089297
I believe it's nearing its end yet there's still more to come.I think I'm like the only 2kki fan in here.

>>255089573
Bad threads and good threads have always been a thing, though.
>>255089682
Don't respond.
>>255089637
Stabbing things doesn't bring you any closer to the end of the game.
>>255089583
Don't compare my perfect Mado to that fuckup.
Someone should compile a list of good surreal exploration games/mods/whatnot.
Games like this are really interesting to me, and it would be neat to find more.

The little details of this game always get me. The weird thing flying around in the sky sometimes on the giant staircase thing freaked me out so bad the first time I saw it.
>>255089740
wasn't really that scary
>>255089740
Pretty spooky, but frustrating.That part where she comes from off-screen with a bat to kill that girl.
Holy fuck, man.

This right fucking here. Absolutely creeped the everloving fuck out of me first time I was playing this early in the morning without any knowledge of what the game was
I love you guys, this is a really nice thread.
>>255089740
Really fun and challenging block puzzle. I would totally play it by itself.The fact that it's also got a really deep side story and pulls some spooky meta shit just makes it all the better.
>>255089810
Has been done, severely outdated.
I can give you this though. Mind that it's just my opinion, so take it lightly.
No worlds, because I still need to try that.
>>255089539
Oh no.
Guess now i'll have topick her up gentlyandgently place her back into bedandtuck her in.
>>255089993
>That part where she comes from off-screen with a bat to kill that girl.I fucking know, I was windows the whole time so she walked across my desktop, best 4th wall breaking scare I've had. And then there's the files changing in the folder.
>>255090026
I loved Space Funeral. OST was chill as fuck.During the times when it WASN'T unnerving as hell, of course.
>>255089993
The only time in all my years of video games a game has made me jump out of my chair. Just caught me totally off guard.
>>255090026
damn, i really need to get down to playing all of these.
>>255090026
>Ib
Shit forgot about that one, I kind of enjoyed, didn't change much but it was great if you're looking for spooky rpgmaker games.
I just started this game thanks to all of the music posted in this thread. Should I go in blind or is it alright for me to ask you for advice?
Anyway I went into this weird fucked up maze thing with numbers on the floor and happened upon a room with a lot of beds. Some blood dripping from the wall pulled me into this fucked up place where these crazed... things looked like they were chasing me so I got out of there. Went into each door until I came upon the snow room and found this thing. Does it do anything other than turn me into a cute, blushing ice lady?
>>255090026
>witch's house
>plain
I have yet to meet someone who would consider Witch's house a plain experience. It was a kick to the balls and people felt negative about the ending based on the reactions I have read, although the game is really good.
>>255089996
Every time I go into the eyeball world, I feel seriously queasy after a while. A combination of the grotesque imagery, the cycling background aztec drawing thing, and that weird music is just... Fuck.
>>255090279
>During the times when it WASN'T unnerving as hell, of course.

Ruth White (the person who made THAT song) is actually a really good musician. You should check out her stuff if you can find it.
>>255090026
You should check out Lisa. There's a full commercial "sequel" being made of it, but the original is still free. One of the best, if not the best YN clones.
http://rpgmaker.net/games/4412/
>Yume 2kki pronounced in Japanese would be the same as Yume Nikki
that's dumb
I love this type of horror(?) No surprise scares, grotesque imagery, not even an outright threat. just a looming sense of something is very wrong.
;_;
>>255090453
Dive in blind, and drown in it's pure weird fuckery. It's intoxicating, if you're into that kinda thing.
>>255090457
Not plain.
Boring. Not interesting, mediocre. I find 'BOO~ YOU'RE SCARED' gameplay extremely distasteful, which sadly Witch's House is full of.
Eitherway, it's just my opinion. If you want to get up in arms over something: I though Space Funeral was a pretentious work that SEVERELY suffers from body/mind/soul disconnection.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8CALgrhDvU
Block World bothers me immensely.
I also love all the music from the Famicom clone areas.
>>255090646
That's horror done right, anon.
>>255090026
Someone should add Deep Sea Prisoner's games in there.
Also LiEat 3 fucking when? Holy shit I can't seriously wait for the 3rd title.
>you will never create something as beautiful as Yume Nikki
>>255090453
If you press 1 on your keyboard the effects will do something, but otherwise they're mostly all just for looks (although that one does have a use later on)
One piece of advice - get the bike effect before anything else. It's in this world and you can get to it from one of the main doors. Just walk around until you find it. It lets you move at double the speed
>>255090557
Thanks, I will. I love getting recommendations, even if I don't value the final experience as much. The whole reason why I actually put effort in keeping up that list.
>>255090457
I thought the ending was clever, but what I liked most about the game is how well it used the resources you could use in an RPGmaker game.Like that hallway where if you walk in any direction except down, you get killed, even trying to lure you with interesting looking objects.
Somebody must have the gif of this somewhere. I've seen it before but didn't save it.
>>255090559
they'd just say two in engrish
>>255090678
Who the fuck seriously likes Witch's House for the cheap scare? People like it for its ending.
>>255090646
Mah nigga. Best type of horror.
Too bad that very, VERY few AAA developers have realized this.
>>255090765
Pure despair.

Stop being such a sissy.
>>255090759
I'll play it so I can add it to the list.

Most of the effects don't have any practical purposes. You still need to get all of them, though. Just keep collecting them, and keep walking around aimlessly. You can look up a guide once you've exhausted every possible path you know of and are still missing a couple, but only then.
>>255090895
Which I thought were roundabout and insufficient to make up for the slough before hand.
I will totally concede it's one of the best parts of the game, though. Again, it's just my opinion. No need to start a discussion over it.

Still, good story, i love winter and it's feeling in general, i suppose that's why i love living in Canada and playing games well into the night (when i don't have class the next morning, of course).

>>255089098
Going only with the big 3, I'd have to rank it as:
2kki > Nikki > .flow
I loved flow more than any of the titles before but the new updates kinda killed it for me. I still fucking love .flow.
>>255091512
Most of those games aren't really spooky, but more 'artsy'. Exactly what I like, to be honest. Then again, people have told me that I have a tendency to make 'terror into art'.
Eitherway, happy to share Anon. Have fun!

Get the bicycle first, it makes moving a bit faster.
>>255091365
OP here.
It just does I guess.I tried reality checks before, but it didn't work, if anything it made it more confusing.
I have a better understanding of the difference between dream and reality now, but man was it rough.
>>255091404
Do your best.Do your worst.
>>255091939
Keep going blind. That's the best part of these games.
Other than that: this game can really fuck you over. It's quite easy to get stuck when you don't know what you're doing.
Okay enough Mado. Time for "other" characters.
>>255091939
>Any pointers for going in blind?
It's a vast, VAST world. Explore the maps without trying to consult the wiki.
>using the wiki
You would eventually, I can't emphasize how big her dream world is. Most of the time when I play, I forget that this is her dream world.
Also get the bike in the blue garden world, should be right next to the nexus map.
>>255092078
What kind of reality checks did you try? The ones like looking at a clock and flicking a lightswitch don't work well for me...
The one I use is the nose pinch. I pinch my nose and try to breathe through it. If I can, I'm in a dream, otherwise I'm awake.
>>255092078
Lucid dreaming in general is just hard as hell. Takes so much work and patience.
But it'll be worth it in the end.

>mfw Fukami is a dude
I didn't expect Wadanohara to be so long. But then again, I played it right after multiple playthroughs of Dear RED and Hello? Hello..?, both of which are short and meh.
Great game, tho. Couldn't get into The Gray Garden right away as I was kind of burnt out on that formula.. I played a little Mogeko Castle before those two but didn't particularly enjoy it.
>>255089740
I'm too busy trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do in the puzzle game to get sucked into the spooky.

I actually liked Gray Garden more than Wadanohara and Mogeko Castle. Gray Garden is really slow in the beginning though, like what you said.
Jesus Christ you fuckers, I want to go to bed more than an hour ago.
I have a deadline.
>>255092257
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
>>255092473
It's a weird game. But really fun. You want to make shapes of the same color collide in the air. You only have a few seconds after you "active" a shape before you lose "life". You have to be quick about connecting at least 2 matching colors. DOn't worry about the bottom too much until it starts piling up. You really want to do as many mid air combos as you can.
You can scroll the blocks faster with your scroll wheel. You just need to get as many points as you can to get different events. I forget the core caps, but I think the first one is 40,000 for a special ending.

Neon World is one of my favorite comfy vidya locations. It's so bright and lively in comparison to everywhere else in the game. All of the NPCs look like they want to have a good time with the relaxing music. Also the walls give the area a more contained and orderly feeling that helps your sense of direction instead of endless void. I feel truly at peace there.

>>255093073
Finding that stupid parrot that gives you the effect was hella annoying when it was my first time playing the game and I wasn't using a guide.
The music was so nice, though. And the colors.

Is it possible to get rid of that annoying chirping sound effect when walking/riding the bike by deleting a sound file or something?
http://youtu.be/CWEwyEXeZ4w

>>255093880
Deleting would probably crash the game. If you want, replace it with a blank file with the same file type.
>>255093880
You mean the "bloopbloopbloop" sound? Just edit the sound file with goldwave or something and make it mute.
>>255093880

How major are the differences between the current up to date version of Yume 2kki and Version 100a with the english patch? Is it just some new events?

It hurts. I will never forget that shit.
>>255094847

Why are japanese indie games on average so much better than western indie games?
Alright, fuck it. I'll do it.
I've never really gotten into these because the fandom put me off(I played some OFF maybe a year ago but my friend who told me to play it kept sperging to me about it and I just completely lost interest in it somehow. I was missing out on the experience or something, I dunno)but I'll give Yume Nikki a try. Should I be looking at other games to try after it or should I just wait and see how I like this before I look around and 2kki and .flow and such?
Also, anything to keep in mind while going into this? Stuff like, I dunno, best atmospheres to play in, whether or not it is okay to play in small sprints or marathon, etc?
Madotsuki more like Madocutie.
>>255096992
if you don't like yume nikki then you won't like any of the others
>>255096920
only the free ones, because they make them out of passion, not for money.
>>255095047
Those have been one of my greatest enemies for the past few years.
Please stop cockblocking me
>>255096992
preferably play it alone & in the dark & when you're tired
>>255096920
I dunno. At least the free ones are, that's for sure. But I like stuff like spelunky.
>>255096831
She'd be hard to live with. Most likely suicidal and it'd be hard to keep her attention for long.I wouldn't mind it, though.
>>255096992
I like to play it in looong marathons late at night, amkes the game feel more surreal. It's truly intoxicating, at least for me.
