What happened?

>suddenly
The only one I've seen get any form of praise was Ethan Carter.
Walking simulators is always "either you love it or hate it"
It's niche shit.
I think Yume Nikki has always just been an exception, because it's actually well done
it's ok when japan does it :^))))))
nah just kidding, the difference is yume nikki actually gives you interesting enviroments to explore. also it's pretty upfront that walking and exploring are all that it wants you to do, that's the entire point of the game, rather than some shit thrown in because the developers were lazy.
YN was something else.
I swear that shit cured my depression. Probably just because it's such a pile of strange shit that you sit down and think about yourself for 11 hours straight.
>yume nikki thread this early
Its sad that we have to wait until 3:00 in the morning to get a comfy tread going.
When I first bought a gaming PC I used a walking simulator to un-fuck my brain, learning how to play with WASD controls. Other than for that they are trash.
>>318516420
Shit, I ment thread.
Aw fuck it, imma start dumpin' madotsuki.
YN is okay, I guess. Kinda boring compared to other games with an actual gameplay, but nonetheless fun to explore.
>>318516420
Last time there was a super comfy YN thread Miyamoto fucking died
Yume Nikki is great because it helped spawn a whole bunch of better fan sequels and games with actual gameplay like Ib.
Even if Mado is damaged goods I'd still do her.
>>318517297
Anon please ;_;
>>318517394
DO NOT SEXUALIZE THE MADOTSUKI
>>318517391
Im still surprised by how atmospheric lcddem and .flow were, .flow particulary managed to scare the shit out of me without making me want to close the game
>>318517391
I actually enjoyed .flow more than yume nikki mainly because it's more atmospheric, smaller, and the music is good.
How did you guys like 2kki? I never got round to playing it for too long, because it kept getting updated with new areas, and I just wanted to play the final version once it got translated.
>>318517625
>fat people think they can cosplay
Only Walking Simulator I ever enjoyed was Dear Esther.
>>318517259
I wanna cum all over her cute face
>>318518000
I think shes kinda cute
>>318516420
Just post about Kirby or something similar in the day if you want more comfy threads.
>>318517953
OH SHIT this image just made me remember
how is the dream vs dream thing going?
did somebody enjoyed it?
I played the first alpha that came out the one withmemetsukiand i just forgot it existed
>>318518000
Looks more like she has a straight body shape to me.
>>318517990
2kki seems like some kind of open-source game where many authors contribute on building new areas, so it will always get updated until no one want to do it anymore.
Poniko is cute! CUTE!
>>318518145
maybe for /cgl/ standards.
>>318518214
>Looks more like she has a straight body shape to me.
her cheeks and chins give it away
>>318518318
>not expecting the NEET to be a little chubby
it fits the character
A YN thread? Nice.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oox3T0mP9Yk
>>318518145
What a goddess
>>318518208
I have that game, i just don't play it that much because they only have Madotsuki and Sabitsuki. The game is also kinda clunky and the devs no longer respond. It has great music though.
>>318518145
I need her in my life
>>318518386
>little chubby
>little
shes fat anon
>>318518386
I would expect Sabitsuki or Urotsuki to be more of the NEET, Mado doesn't even have a computer.
>>318515757
>suddenly
Newfag.
>>318518531
It seemed like a what-if project that would be dumped if the interest didnt pick up, how sad.
I mean it wasnt revolutionary or anything but it was kind of a nice idea.
>>318518768
Madotsuki won't leave her room, aside from going out to the balcony. She's probably a hikikomori and NEET.
>early YN thread
>can't dump images
What's with the recent influx of YN threads? I'm definitely not complaining but it's odd seeing them pop up more than once every few months, especially at this hour.
>unironically enjoying walking simulators
Most of them aren't even comfy to the point that every scene is wallpaper worthy
Yume Nikki is cool, but it's a pretty shit game. Being a walking simulator will do that to a game.
>>318519019
Play .flow
Im running low on mado pics mainly because im on mobile.
Sorry.
Yume Nikki is not a walking simulator
it's THE walking simulator.
This is the last one.
Bye anons.
>>318515757
>What happened?
Gone Home.
>>318516103
>interesting enviroments to explore
literally repeating tile backgrounds with a couple sprite objects around, you just walk in a random direction for hours in the hope that maybe you'll find something
Took a long break from working on this. Might pick it back up soon.
>>318519386
Goodbye.
>>318515757
I'd walk you home gently anon.
>>318519669
Now in webum.
>>318520204
Thanks.
>>318520204
Whatever the source of this is, I feel like I should have seen it years ago.
I should be working but I suppose I can dump some stuff from my phone.
>>318518208
It actually become real?
The only YN fangame I played (aside from another walking simulator, I mean fangame with Mado as character) is the platformer one.
>>318520838
I want to know who animated these.
Can anyone explain Yume Nikki to me? I wander around forever and never find anything. Is there any way to enjoy this without a guide?
>>318519804
Damn dude that looks really nice, im interested
>>318521131
Yeah eventhough it seems it barely got past 0.02
>>318522042
If the game doesnt click for you in the first 20 minutes then you will never like it
It doesnt get better, just bigger
>>318522042
Keep wandering and get lost. Eventually you'll stumble into stuff. If anything, look up where to get the bike since that'll speed you up and get you around faster. It's definitely more about the journey than the destination, so if you're bored by what you see then there's no real point in continuing.
Excuse me, what's a 'Walking Simulator'?
FUCK toriningen
Why is Nikki always so sad?
>>318523029
Because we keep getting her name wrong.
nothing but suffering.
>try this
>pretty good
>shitty speakers make satanic noises nonstop
>find random mushroom
>probably an effect; use it
>it grows into a fucking skyscraper
>my fear of flowers kick in
FUCK
Mado for Smash when.
madochan is CUTE
>>318518000
>this is considered fat
hello ireland
>>318526767
It'd be cool, actually.
There need to be Smash game with YN game characters.
>>318527636
Feet!
>>318527981
>>318527964
I'd love that, but I know it won't happen. Dream vs. Dream is the closest we'll get but that'll be finished when Kikiyama confirms more work on YN.
>>318526559
>my fear of flowers kick in
>fear of flowers
What?
>>318528293
>Irisu not wielding a spiked bat.
>Blue demon maymay instead of Viola from Witch's House holding afrog
>>318528353
Just imagine a green biomass that keeps growing and multiply infinitely and blindly.
Also they look terrifying up close.
Just look at this soulless fucker, he's ready to grab you by face and turn your bones into a home for it's children.
Yo does anyone in here like Ib
Because I really like Ib
>>318529289
Dude, it's a fucking flower. It can't move. All it can do is sit there and smell pretty.
It's not even kudzu or something, and even then, it's just a fucking plant. You can cut it or burn it.
>>318529796
Fear of something doesn't necessarily have to be rational.
>captcha is to select the flowers
Even Google knows the flow of conversation.
>>318518909
i laughed more thank i should have
>>318529567
Ib?
More like "dweeb".
Heh.
>>318531283
I always pronounced it, uh, "Ib" not "eeb." Am I doing it wrong?
>>318528087
Please do not sexualize the Madotsuki.
>>318515757
But I actually like walking simulators.
You know there are more walking sims than just YN fan games, right? Not that there's anything wrong with those.
>>318531637
Yeah. In fact, it's probably supposed to be Eve but Japs got bad English. Ib and Eve are essentially pronounced the same in Japanese.
>>318532350
too late, already did
>>318532393
>>318532393
>>318533076
Is this game really huge as fuck?
What's the name?
>>318532393
This just makes me wish there was a BLAME walking sim
>>318532937
I'll let you off with a warning, just don't do it again.
I'm playing Answered Prayers now. I must be missing something, because I've already gotten seven items and can't seem to find a way to go further.
>Get kind of interested in a walking sim
>It goes quiet and hasn't updated for half a year
I don't know what I expected.jpg
People stopped making good ones and started making shit like Gone Home and Dear Esther.
>>318533418
Naissancee. Some sections are huge and really explorable, like this desert. It's got some puzzling as well, although the fact that it's made by a french dude shines through in some 2deep4you surrealist stuff around the third act. Still a really enjoyable walking sim with some great sound design.
>>318533590
The guy that made this pointed to Nihei directly as a reference. There's even a bit where he tried to recreate the huge bridge surrounded by lightning in the Blame! opening.
But if you want something that's closer, just bug this guy to get to work.
http://bac9.tumblr.com/
>>318533629
No.
Would any of you be interested in a low poly-high res walking simulator? It'll be the usual dream exploration effect collection game but witha very small number of cutscenes, that's the only way I can think of to show certain things that have happened in my dreams which I want in the game. No story.
>>318535645
High res texture, sorry.
>>318516003
Monoe best girl
So what theories do you tend to believe /v/? It's been near 5 years since I've actually played the game and looked around at some of them, but I remember agreeing with certain aspects of several of them and never coming to a definitive conclusion.
>>318536478
My only fan theory is that Kikiyama needs help.
>>318535645
If the cutscenes aren't too long then sure.
>>318528508
>Irisu not wielding a spiked bat.>not knowing that was a harmless piece of bread
>>318534015
The game is incomplete, don't worry about it.
>>318536478
The only thing I believe in is that Mado was still dreaming in the ending.
Is Monoko a reference to some Japanese mythological creature? Just thought of that as a possibility. I've always believed her to be a victim of a car wreck.
>>318516003
>"either you love it or hate it"
This guy has the right idea. Some people just like running around exploring stuff. Also games like that tends to be really cozy.
>>318536478
All of them
>>318536935
Oh. Okay. Guess I'll move on to .flow
>>318536767
Oh no, they wouldn't be long at all and there would only be a couple of them.
Found this old "interview" from back in '09 on Uboachan. No evidence that it's real, but it's interesting anyway. I didn't visit /v/ in '09, does anyone remember anything about this being conducted or posted?
http://archive.uboachan.net/yn/res/628.xhtml
>>318538023
There was never any confirmation of that interview being legit, I'm sorry anon.
>>318537442
Go for it, anon. Don't forget to share it in a future thread.
Does anyone have art of that train car? I don't know why, but finding that was one of my absolute favorite things in Yume Nikki
>>318529289
If you have netflix, you should get stoned and watch the plants episode of "Life".
I still have to play through the latest .flow update.
>>318515908
I've seen this image so damn much lately.
What's wrong with that rabbit?
>>318540092
It dislikes crepes.
>>318539940
version 0.192, right? Or was there another update after that?
>>318540693
I believe that's still the latest version. The one I last finished was .15. Messed around a bit in .192 and got some effects but I haven't checked out most of the new areas.
>>318541116
The new areas were pretty good, along with the events. You should probably checked it out if you have the time.
Kinda unrelated, but didn't lolrust say at one point that he was planning to remake the game in a different engine?
>>318517990
I really enjoy it, but actually getting to places is pretty hard. There's like, this tightly knit network of connections linking the areas immediately surrounding the nexus; but then you get these long paths that only move one way and then stop dead with an under construction roadblock. It's a shame because those areas at the end of those paths are always really nice.
>>318541952
I've been telling myself to go do it but I never really get around to it. Maybe I'll sit myself down and play it tonight.
He said that? That's the first I've heard about that.
>>318517990
I really want to love it but I just can't get into it as much as YN and .flow. I don't even know why. The areas are varied as fuck and some really give off a creepy vibe but it hasn't grabbed my affection as strong as the other two.
anyone else super pleased that the only corpse in the game was actually rotten and bloody?
I've never played YN, Would anyone suggest being high while plaything this?
>>318544396
I don't ever get high and I enjoyed it.
I guess it just depends on how you'd react to some of the very few scares in the game while high.
>>318544396
depends. if you're an anxious or nervous person while you're high you probably want to stay away from it. if you can chill out, though, it would be one hell of an experience
>>318544149
It was a nice surprise.Until the fanbase decided to turn it into a bishie.
>>318545196
there's some fanart out there that's faithful to the character. they're few and far between, but they're there.
These threads are so comfy.
>>318547219
I'm surprised the thread lasted this long, especially since it started so early.
im making an lsd dream emulator fan game
and it is a LOT more work than i expected
>>318549275
Looking good so far.
does madotsuki self-harm
>>318515757
There are good walking simulators and bad walking simulators. It is unfortunate, but the vast majority of them, especially extremely high profile ones, are bad or made for some kind of sociopolitical reason.
Also there's always been people with different tastes. Please stop trying to treat the board as if it consists solely of a hivemind.
one of my favourite desktop bgs
>>318550261Maybe.
The only ones /v/ ever liked were those with little girls as the protagonist. Just like this weebshit and The Path.
Kyuukyuu is my favorite non-irrelevant creature.
What's this? A decent YN thread on day-time /v/? Now I've seen everything
>>318552519
It has happened at least once before, I think
>>318516256
What game is this
>>318553901
yume nikki
i want to hug madochan
>>318549275
That's really sweet, got a blog or anywhere you post updates?
>>318515757
It all started when shitty ripoffs like .flow were made and some people unironically said they were good, when in reality they didn't really have a soul like Yume Nikki and were completely aimless in their setting, hurting the popularity of walking simulators on the long run.
>>318555890
>.flow
>shitty
m8
One of the things I enjoy about .flow is not that the rooms are smaller, but that it has greater theme cohesion and transitions between areas, which makes it feel like a world on its own, unlike YN where the areas feel more disconnected.
>apartments related to sewers related to neon city related to rainbow maze
etc
Also I love the area themes
>that rusted, glowy industrial machine ambience
>body horror balls to the wall "we won't need eyes where we're going" viral abstract hell
>snow, loneliness + vegetation overgrowth
Also Sabi a cute, would waifu
Would you yume her nikki?

>>318518000
>that is considered fat
I'd hate to see what you'd consider someone who is chubby. They'd probably be a planet to you.
I wish I could play Yume Nikki and .flow for the first time again. ;_;
>>318557395
Ah, excellent! Bookmarked, I'm looking forward to see where you go with this man.
This thread has been going on for nearly 8 hours now.
Post nice fangame screenshots.
>>318559749
Which game is that?
>>318558776
>>318560030
Outotsu Yume.
It's a fangame with user-created materials, sorta like an English Yume 2kki.
>>318560447
Oh right. I remember someone sharing that a thread or two ago. How's it shaping up?
>>318560778
Pretty well from what I've seen.
>>318561386
Some of its maps look bretty good. I should keep an eye on it.
This was a nice surprise of a thread. Gave me something nice to pass the workday with.
grown ass men are posting these images
let that sink in, you degenerates
>>318563495
I love Madotsuki!

Mado.
>>318568098
Sabi and Uro are cute, but they all pale in comparison to how cute Mado is
>>318568098
Mado a eternal best.
>>318518145
Sooooo cute hnnnngggg
I wanna fuck her all day every day
>>318518145
>>318568098
the original
>>318515757
Because neo /v/. Games like Yume Nikki used to be praised. Now /v/ is full of 14 year olds who go apeshit if a game has less than 50 enemies on screen at all times to handle their ADHD
>>318568098
Mado of course
>>318515757
They got popular.
Holy fuck how has this thread lasted through daytime /v/.
>>318576874
People nowadays don't know about Yume Nikki, so it's impossible to shitpost.
I've heard and seen a lot related to this game over the past few years, but I never got around to playing it.
This thread is making it look pretty interesting, but I'm not really sure where to start.
How many games are there? Will I need a walkthrough?
Are there puzzles, or is it just exploring?
>>318576874
I cant remember the name of the fangame that room comes from, but it was genuinesly fucked up
Every room there was so spooky shit in the corner kinda like me
>>318578258
The most of the game is exploring. The goal is to collect a bunch of "effects" that allow you to do certain things. Some of these are used to get past obstacles to get to other effects, and some get you to random places. Explore first and just see what you find. Look at a walkthrough when you want to actually finish it and if you're having a tough time finding some of the effects.
>>318578258
There's only one Yume Nikki, but there are a few fangames, notably .flow and 2kki. It's really all just walking around and exploring, though I guess there are a few really simple puzzles here and there.
You might need a walkthrough to actually finish the game but you should try to do as much as you can without looking anything up
>>318578258
It's just Yume Nikki, but there's similar fangames if you're looking for more. Just start up the game and wander around aimlessly. You'll probably need a walkthrough, but only get to that point once you feel your wandering is getting you nowhere.
>>318578692
It was GNOSIS, I believe.
>no fan game will ever be as good as .flow
Feels bad senpai
>>318524536
>Posting the tiny babby version
