Since the original YNFG Archive has been long abandoned, I've decided to revive it by creating a new one. Not to "provide a decentralized backup", as the OG archive stated, but rather for the sake of history preservation.

you should change the TLD to something non-national for your website, some countries and websites (reddit, lol) block it because of current events
No.15313
I've made a mirror to bypass the national TLD block.
https://archive.ymbr.site/Might update the archive itself soon. I've got quite a bunch of fangames for it.

>>15315I would appreciate if you could download and seed the entirety of the archive, but if you don't want to - you can download just the fangames you need.
> Can I not access it from the website?I don't have that much of a storage to keep it on the server, so currently there's no way to access the archive from the website.
>>15316Thank you! Will remove it with the next archive update, which I'm planning to make after Dream Diary Jam.

Could it actually be that some ISP's has started to block russian IP addresses because of "muh ukraine"? Had to ask an overseas friend of mine to update the archive from me, so everyone else could download the archive from him.

Another update has been made. Many new fangames and some old/new versions has been added.
Also, all the RM2k/2k3 fangames now can be played in browser.
https://archive.yumeboo.ru/play/ No.15521
>>15519Are the games being updated regularly, or do you stick to a specific version to play on the browser? e.g. is the 2kki version the latest one? How often do you update?
No.15522
>>15521I'm planning to update them along with archive itself, so whenever the archive updates - the games will be updated too.
And because the main route of archive distribution is still a torrent network, I can bet that not much of a people has downloaded an entire thing, and even less - keeping an eye on updates. So the updates of the games available for playing in browser will be not as frequent as you might like them to be.
No.15524
>>15523>>15522Right. I was just curious, considering there are games like 2kki that get regular updates, and sometimes people prefer to stick to a particular version because it has X or Y, instead of the latest one.
Thanks for the explanation! And thanks for all the work of hosting and updating the archive!

Yume Nikki Fangames Archive has been updated. Many old and new versions of various fangames has been added, finally surpassing 200 gigabytes mark of the archive's size.
All the changes are in changelog as usual:

>>15997You're welcome.
By the way, I've got 32 Gb worth of new fangames and their updates at this moment to add in the future archive update, but I'm not planning to update yet. Dream Diary Jam 8 is right around the corner, and it's gonna be dedicated to Yume Nikki's 20th anniversary, so I believe the harvest will be quite bountiful this year and worth waiting.
And I think I need to remake the archive's website from scratch. It's not adapted to mobile devices at all and just looks terrible on displays with resolutions smaller than 1920x1080.

Almost done with the spreadsheet I'm cooking. All that left to add is the fangames which names start with Y and Unicode symbols. Hope I'll be able to finish it in two days that has left before YN Anniversary.
Yume 2kki is gonna be hell on earth to include in the spreadsheet, knowing how much versions it accumulated over all these years.
>>16150You're welcome. Looking forward to include more of them in the archive.
Speaking of which, the updates folder has grew up to 87 Gb in size. Can we get 100 Gb by the end of Dream Diary Jam 8?

Yume Nikki Fangames Archive has been updated.
This update includes all fangames that were submitted for the recent Dream Diary Jam 8, a spoonful of fangames that were basically "lost media", a handful of other old and new fangames with their updates, but more importantly:
CUnnygame Collective Unconscious is in the archive too! Including development builds!
Direct downloading from the website and online play are yet to become available. For now you can download the archive via torrent, but be prepared: this thing now takes up a whopping 344 GB of disk space.
Download links are on the main page as usual:
https://archive.yumeboo.ru/And of course you can see all the changes in the changelog:

>>16241Thank you so much for that. Collective Unconscious lost a few levels and that was troubling me because it was great fun with some world maps by orchidmantis because "copying map ideas from a YNFG had ruined things" nonsense. Interestingly, on my hard drive I archived all of COLD's older builds in the recent one (I played through all the builds, only cons are the Engrish in-game and the speed effect is like a cruel panic attack but I LOVED the toy box effect because of the YNFG doll collectathon).
Thank you everybody for helping out on this, and thank you Sage for this feat too!
Take care and keep dreaming!

>>16245You're welcome.
Should've been tell about that before, but online-play and direct downloading are now available.
Including the gen.loss fangame by the same developer you've mentioned.I'm also thinking about changing approach to the archive updates. Since browsing and direct downloading individual files and folders from the archive is available, I could've make small and more frequent updates instead of big and rare ones. And to not ditch downloading via torrent completely, I'd update a torrent file once in a month or something.
Any feedback on this particular idea?

>>16490100% chance, don't worry.
This reminds me that I should sort out all the fangames that I saved and look up if I missed anything, because I haven't touched the archive for a really long time and haven't really been keeping an eye on fangames.

>>16846Honestly, I've been neglecting the archive ever since the last update of it's spreadsheet, which is mid-August of last year, and now I have to re-visit every single fangame for the sake of updates, and sort out everything I was downloading during all this time. It's tedious, repulsing, but it must be done.
I don't want to let this archive end up like it's predecessor. Maybe, a bit more frequent updates could help it?

I didn't realise it was going to be THIS huge! How many games and patches are there on the spreadsheet to update? My guess is that you are busy moderating on the site to the best of your abilities?

>>16857This response seems sarcastic to me for whatever reason.> How many games and patches are there on the spreadsheet to update?Not sure, but what I can tell is that I have currently accumulated 134 Gb worth of new games and updates, out of which 100 Gb is just 2kki, and 30 Gb of yet to be sorted games. And who knows how much more I might have missed, so for a good measure I'll be re-visiting every single fangame for the sake of updates.
> My guess is that you are busy moderating on the site to the best of your abilities?Not in the slightest. I have something the vast majority of Yume Nikki fans either doesn't have or afraid of getting it. It's called
a job, and it takes a huge chunk of my time and energy I could've spent on my own little businesses. But worry not, I'll try my best to deliver the update as soon as possible.
> Also, can you two at least stop arguing?!Doesn't look like an argument to me. He's just being the most dedicated fan of mine, and this is his way to express love and respect. He's still learning though, so give him some time.
