/fg/ - Fangames

It's awesome to finally see some passion around here.
Congrats for getting something done OP, that alone is fantastic. I'll check it out.

Looks interesting

Do you consider your game a Yume Nikki fangame, or Yume Nikki-inspired game, OP? These are two completely different things, and I'd like to know what exactly is it.

either is gay(Actually the game looks cool, edgeubuu. Rule 2)

I say it if it fits, it ships.
Even if its not an EasyRPG mod I think any game that is inspired by Nikki and has actual passion behind it can be discussed or posted.

I.E. high quality projects and not low quality mobile game-esque stuff thats are scams. Basically anything with actual heart in it.

Does it matter? It's a game about wandering a big map while being a cute little bunny thing, it's gonna take inspiraton from yume nikki even if it doesn't exist in the same world as yume nikki or whatever.

Thanks for the replies. It's 80% a fangame with bits and pieces of my own ideas. I'm a Yume Nikki purist although after playing Yume 2kki, I was very much inspired by it and the fact devs got to have fun with it. Port City and Whispery Sewers just sit in the back of my mind whenever I was making a level.

Also since this was made in Gamemaker, I had to build a lot of the stuff that came with RPGMaker and Yume Nikki FGs from the ground up.

And that's OK. Gay is OK.

Finally got around to playing it. And I am amazed. A new game that was posted on Uboachan out of all the places. And is fucking great. Some of the characters are so nice and intriguing; Won't spoiler, go play it!

There definitely are less-than-cozy sections but I never felt like I was in danger or felt a need to panic. I might from now on sound harsh but that's only because its so nice my bar was set very high. I think it could have used less mazes and to be a bit more tightly knit together but where would be the fun in that? While you can go back to previous sections and are even rewarded for it, it feels very linear with some side dishes to taste. Additionally, i felt like the "Enlightenment" sections were kinda forced in, not really feeling organic to the setting, especially in the scientist one. That one I just didn't feel at all. The first computer screen one was brilliant! Truly blown away.

I was surprised by just how much explicit kinda-meta-but-not-really talking is in the game. I think that some things, particularly in regards to faith, could have been conveyed by simple animation or artwork of the characters. And like I get it, character animation is very hard and where it is used it's beautiful. Yet I felt like so many non-dream maps would instantly become much more lively and emotionally impactful if the writing had been a bit more flavorful and diverse (not in a vulgar sense, quite in the opposite) and the characters had a tiny bit more life in them besides walking. A simple 4 step animation for a few characters would have been more than enough to make the first two towns so much more alive!

I have a question, are we supposed to somehow find the code on the code-locked door or is mashing the keypad until you guess it (only took me ~25 tries!) okay with the puzzle police?

At the end, the Bloof god said I had played for long enough and decided to crash me. Ended at 4/6.

Yeah I made it in under a year so a lot of places in the game reflect that. I do also plan to keep updating it though since unlike my other games, this one can be saved.

The door you can either cheese or find the secret code. Also weird I fixed that crash already and its not appearing when I play. Oh well, go back to fixing it again!
