If you interact with the small creature in the third picture, it'll follow you. Killing it makes a message box appear with an ellipsis. After that, the game may not let you back into the arrow world. Haven't been able to get the arrow to show back up after killing the little creature.

Hello everyone. So, I've played Yume Nikki this summer and enjoyed it so much that I couldn't resist to make a fangame.

Yume Nikki 3d was made in a few days and instead of using RPG Maker, I used an old 3d engine from the 90's. The alpha version is short and may be completed in 20 mins or so. Your task is to find three keys in random locations and open the exit. All locations are connected by portals. For the most part I tried to create my own locations instead of copying ones from the original game, and only a few places have references to the original Yume Nikki.

I've come to the realization that there is hardly ever a justification for even a moderately sized looping map in all directions. Smaller, intricate, constrained maps are better. Or if you want looping, making it easy to navigate with sprinkles of significant landmarks and clear directions for those who just want to get through it is best.

Hello, I just recently found more Yume Nikki fangames, and I really want to play a lot of them. Do you have any recommendations? I've already played .flow and am in the process of playing Yume 2kki. I'm going to try out Me eventually.
I'm looking for games with lots of interesting and useful effects. That's what I loved about Yume Nikki. Well, not all of them were useful, but…
Also, it'd be nice if there's lots of places to explore.
If you can think of any fangames that fit those areas, please tell me! Thanks!

Ultra Violet is a very charming game. The worlds are all a treat for the eyes, and you can get an effect that allows you to save inside the dream. Please give it a try if you haven't done so already.

Because who wants to be stuck doing a YN fangame? The idea of making one is quite appealing, but once you get started on one, it's not quite as fun as making your own original project. Most of the time it's just making tilesets and coding the same thing over and over.

>I think the biggest problem is that most of the games are basically the same game with a different look. This would probably be fine if the type of game we were making had some kind of gameplay that made up for this, but YN basically has no gameplay at all.


Because they're fangames. You know the Pokemon franchise? Although it's dressed different with a different story, it's still the same old formula of catching them all.

But then again, each Pokemon game that comes out has new gameplay elements to keep players from getting bored and continuing to buy the games, so you're not necessarily wrong. More developers could stand to put their own original content and ideas into their games, but if you stray too far it won't even look like a fangame anymore. And that's what pissed the people above off.

 No.10345

>>10344
Just because it's a fangame you don't necessarily have to make a exact copy of the original gameplaywise. For example, wouldn't you consider Dream vs Dream a fangame?

I'm not saying you have to be that radical, but if you ever want me to start playing fangames again more than once a year, you'll need more than a wanderfest to get me interested, no matter how pretty the wanderfest is.

YN was a wanderfest. And that was fine, because it was the first of it's kind. It worked because it was new and unique. But it's a type of game that does not stand being played over and over. You need to put something in the wanderfest to make it more interesting.
You can still HAVE a wanderfest, but you can also have gameplay, and you SHOULD. If I ever make another YN fangame I will definitely have some kind of gameplay.

You can still have all the things that made YN unique, like weird locations, mysterious creatures, exploration, dreamlike landscapes and the general mood of the game. Fangame is a broad enough term that you don't need to make a copy of the original to be able to call it a fangame.

 No.10346

>>10345

DvD is a fangame because it uses characters from Yume Nikki, specifically meant as a tribute to Yume Nikki. Other games are fangames because it's made in the same style as YN.

I'm not saying you're wrong, you pull many valid points. There's over 100 fangames these days full of the same exact thing. It's getting old, but there's only so far you can go from the source formula before it stops being a fangame.

Gonna make a new thread for this debate, since I'm quite interested in knowing how far others think a fangame can go before it stops being a fangame.

the kura puzzles in yume 2kki are super relaxing for me, it's just fun to idly play them while the BGM plays and to have some ambient music (like, asmr or rainyday) in the background.

wataru's maps can be really relaxing too

when .flow .192 came out I actually liked the new areas because they expanded on a theme that was only recently being touched upon and I thought that was neat

I like big city-ish areas, vending areas too… There's a bazaar in Farewell which is nice, and I'm a sucker for Zenmaigahara Store in Y2kki. When that .flow update had outfit changes I was pretty pumped too.

I know everyone hates them because they're cliche, but I do like YNFG reference rooms. Except one game's room.

De I Cide had a speed adjustment for the chariot and that needs to be in more games. Also, in Book End your speed effect is a tricycle and it's the greatest thing ive ever seen probably not really but hey why not, man

It's also an unappealing clusterfuck of visuals. While I agree on maps' type (no looping and sometimes small areas), they're often very unclear.

this is such a broad question you could write "extremely bad" and it'd still be a valid answer

there are… a lot of fangames that have really bad graphics in my opinion, or bad design in general that make it hard for me to want to play them. my advice to aspiring pixel-game-makers is to take a few months at the *least* studying pixel art, doing a few one-a-day studies, etc.

Yume 2kki does this pretty often in some places like. Sign World, Bug Maze… they're all pretty "eugh" to me in terms of art.

A fun thing about fangames is that just about every different creator has a different style to their games, so just making a game would make it unique. Try releasing a small demo at first. Maybe make a blog to show stuff you're working on but haven't completed. Just remember that as long as you stay confident, your games will be competent.
