What does /v/ think about Yume Nikki?
[insert rape-suicide theory]
>>343004773
shut up
Shit meme game.
>>343004879
what does this even mean?
I got a bunch of effects (25), but then I stopped playing because I couldn't find any more.
dumping some random YN artwork
>>343005370
>>343005481
>>343005603
>>343005695
>>343005790
It has maybe the strongest atmosphere of any game ever.
Only REmake has ever made me feel an ounce of what this game oozes.
>>343005901
its one of my favorite games, too bad the fandom around it is kinda cancerous

>>343004679
I finally played Earthbound for the 1st time
and now I see many similarities, atleast in certain areas like Magicant, Moonside, and the Underworld.
Pretty neato
>>343005241
try Yume 2kki
>>343005998
>>343006092
>>343006074
Moonside was like a slice right out of YN, sans the dialogue.
Be sure to play the other two games in the Mother series.

It's not my type of game.
I can see why people like it though

>>343007093

today is the 12th birthday of Yume Nikki
>>343004679
I like that it does away with all the shitty dialogue and pointless "combat" that games like Earthbound use for padding. I like its outstanding atmosphere and good artwork and I think that its exploration model gets old after a while. It also could use some better signposting because I never figured out whether I've gathered all I've could, if I should put items in the "common" room as eggs and whether something will happen or not. As with many of my favourite games I have never finished it.
>>343007635

that was yesterday I think
Still wondering what happened to Kikiyama
Uboa is cute! CUTE!
>>343007748
So who is Kikiyama?
>>343007859
>>343007954
>>343007894
its a mysteryhopefully not dead though
>>343004679
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wqSQ9Mzz-k
Was bretty good
>>343007851
Kiki is kill.I dunno he kinda dropped of the face of the earth.
>>343007894
He'll remain a mystery unless he decides to come out of hiding.
>>343008053
>>343007851
Dude is so weird. I remember reading that he was like a mushroom that just sprouted out of nowhere. Even when YN got big back then, people were going "who??" on Kiki.
>tfw I'll never play it for the first time again
>>343008153
>>343008234
>>343008340
very nice game
>>343004679
The best walking simulator, comfy, eerie, mysterious and strange occurrences that you could theorize about for a long time.
>>343008443
>>343008553
>>343008657
>>343008764
Would you want Kikiyama to come out and reveal the real meaning of YN or would you rather it remain a mystery?
>>343008886
>>343008906
If it's anything like the manga's answer, hell no.
>>343008998
>>343008906
I'd prefer him to keep it ambiguous, but I'd like if he spoke up and said what inspired him to make Yume Nikki and to just confirm hes still alive.
>>343009097
>>343009223
>>343009320
>>343005934

I really recommend Yume 2kki to anyone who hasn't played it, it's like Yume Nikki but 20x bigger.
>>343009651
also oops
>>343008906
I'd prefer he gave us something. I don't want him to give all the meanings away but I wish he would point us in the correct direction or tell us in what light we should interpret the game. Is Madotsuki scared of what she is seeing or completely fine with it? Do we take the idea that these dreams are torturing her at face value or is the game more like a jungle gym for the imagination and not everything in the game is meant to be taken totally literally? Those sort of answers.

Really good but I haven't played in a couple years. If you like Yume Nikki try Middens
>>343010365
>>343010323
.flow
OFF
Space Funeral
The Middens
Yume 2kki is worth looking into like
>>343009696 said
I've seen a lot of people reccommend LcdDem but I've never played it myself
>>343009696
I really want to like it but it doesn't keep my attention like YN and .flow did.

Great atmosphere, spooky and oddly comfy, it's a good example of why artsy walking simulators aren't a bad thing if done right.
Also the fan art is nice.
>>343012903
>>343007676
I love Yume Nikki for the exact reasons you mention but Earthbounds practically a parody of JRPGs
and the combat still manages to be engaging enough. not really all that bad.
If anything the game could use less or easier to avoid enemy encounters thats about it.
There are a lot of poignant moments delivered through the battle system
Like Poo's training and of course Giygas battle.
>>343012989
I always like how the game can go from whimsical to dreadful in pretty subtle ways.
Like it wasn't a horror game by any means, but you couldn't help but feel uncomfortable at at times.
>>343013119
This was one of those /v/core games together with Cave Story back then.
Feels like so long ago.

>>343004773
i honestly think it's about a hikki that's just bisexual and lonely and sad and is maybe bigger than other girls and doesn't get gender roles, it's just good all around though

Please make the tears stop
>>343014170

I still believe that the whole game is a dream within a dream, and the end is her waking up for real.

i can see that, she's likely very averse to reality, but i feel like some areas, like the white desert, are sort of like that already. they're very guarded and are likely related to some trauma.

I suppose we'll never quite know the specifics until Kiki decides to come back. Even then we might not get a straight answer.

>Has the devloper made anything new?
If only.
>>343015495
Didn't the actual site that this was go down? Where do I get the game nowadays? I've wanted to play recently.
>>343015194
Thanks for the fan art dump, anon. I've saved all of these.
>>343013739
Witch's House has a pretty neat reveal at the end. It is a shame a lot of the horror before that end sequence was pretty predictable after a few times.
I loved Ib, though. Mary did nothing wrong.
>>343015381
Kikiyama has done just Yume Nikki, and nothing else. There's some great fangames, though. .flow and 2kki are universally regarded as the best ones. Yume Nishi and LCDem's devs hate their games for some reason. LISA the first is like Yume Nikki, but it's themes aren't as vague or abstract.
Give original ones like Space Funeral, Wadonohara, LISA The Painful and OFF a try, if you want an RPG.
>>343015583
24 effects is seriously great.
>>343015667
I ended up using this picture as a design for custom card sleeves.
>>343015834
>>343015612
I think you can download it from the Yume Nikki wiki, not 100% sure though
>>343015936
>>343016034
It wasn't really my type of game but I liked it for what it was
are the sequels supposed to be official or just non canon fan stuff

>>343016226
played it about 2 months ago now and really enjoyed it. The ambiguity of everything was super intriguing and I loved the art style. Tried the second fan made game and didn't really dig it. What should i play next that's in the same genre or style. I've played the majority of things somewhat similar like all of the Mother series, lisa, OFF, and undertale. What's left after that?
>>343016236
it's telling you to install rpg maker 2000 rtp
>>343016307
>>343016412
>>343016390
LSD Dream Emulator
>>343016390
play .flow
it's like yume nikki, except much darker and it actually has a cohesive story
>>343016501
I've already played that as well. Maybe I've ran out of niche games in this style
>>343016501
>>343016551
hmm sees interesting, I'll give it a go. Any advice before I jump in?
>>343016590
>>343016562
Maybe.
I know that the guy who made LSD made some other games like Eastern Mind, though you probably already knew about those.
>>343016803
Yume 2kki is better
>>343016803
yeah I had an art teacher who was really into lsd dream emulator and got me into all these niche games
>>343016651
dont go to the water area first
get the pipe as soon as possible
>>343016894

Well shit guys, I'm almost out of Yume Nikki material.
I'm gonna post the rest of what I've got and then I'm going to post some of the fangame related art I have.
I've always been a little jealous of the surrealist places she visits, my dreams are never crazy environments and rarely have any non-human creatures.
After I explored a good portion of the doors it became sort of a chore to bike around, find an entrance, and touch a ghost. More of the areas needed to be like the stair climb into the forest, then into the bathroom, into a weird place, and back out. That was such a great experience.
I think the effects weren't a worthy addition honestly. I know they are practically all the gameplay elements, but I feel like something else could have been worked around to better fit the dream environment and the exploration aspects.
