Now that the dust has settled and the game is 6 years old. How did you feel about it?.

Thats another thing that bugs me. If it was really him, why is there no updates on his website besides a ad banner for Dream Dairy that some people have claimed could've been automated (as it has for some other random ads before, mostly for rpg maker)? The whole situation is confusing and just makes me wonder. I'd like to believe Kikiyama did at least approve but really I honestly want to know just how involved in Dream Dairy he actually was. Interviews with one of the composers of Dream Dairy said they didnt even get feedback from Kikiyama and speculates maybe only 2-3 other people even met or spoke with him while working on the project.

If Kikiyama was barely involved then does this make DD a commercial fangame?

It definitely doesn't seem like it was Kikiyama's game, so I guess it's up to your interpretation. Him having barely any contact with the devs and composers just makes me think he just greenlit the project, added a monster design, and just told them "go nuts" if he was even involved at all. There is so much strange oddities surrounding Dream Dairy's development and I wonder if the team comprising it was just people kadokawa threw together who only had basic understanding of Yume Nikki. In terms of those prospects, the team did an incredible job given the limited understanding but that still doesn't account for other oddities like AQUILA, who's a composer nobody has any information on and speculated to be Kikiyama. If they aren't Kikiyama, who are they? More over why is there so much mystique surrounding them?

If your theory is correct then what even was the purpose of YNDD? I'm not shitting on the game, but why did they even make it in the first place?. It wasn't an anniversary event because the original came out in February and it wasn't made as a "remake" of the classic game like the recently released Steam/Console versions of Ib.

>the original came out in February
My bad, meant to say that the original came out in June. It's YNDD that came out in February.

og yn fan who was obsessed for years (prob to cope w irl) here. bought yndd when i had some money despite the backlash and the loss of ambiguity that the original had.

i have to confess that i play this game on my switch lite in the middle of the night. lights off, no discord, no phone, nothing. just me and yndd. it's… kinda relaxing, i gotta say. i like to wander around and not think about solving the puzzles in a way or find stuff in a too serious way. because of the influence yn had on me growing up, the horror atmosphere feels… like home. so, i "explore" yn for maybe 30 minutes or so till i fall asleep. it really feels like going back home, and i feel safe. just like somehow i did back then while playing the original. like going on a walk while your parents fight or something terrible going on, but you're stuck in front of a screen, projecting your need for escapism onto yn.

can anyone relate to this very specific feeling?

i wish i could play yn or well-known fangames on a handheld console, but this is sadly the closest we'll probably ever get to that.

I know what you mean. I started revisiting old games again recently, relaxing until I'm ready for bed. Everyone does it, sometimes to reflect, sometimes to relax.

I'm surprised there isn't an .apk or something for YN yet, though. I'd never looked into it.

 No.2627

Hi OP, not sure if this is what you're looking for, but easyRPG has been able to play rpgmaker 2003 games such as yume nikki, and most of its well known fan games (as well as games like OFF, etc), on a wide range of portable devices for almost a decade now ranging from android to iOS and even the switch or 3ds/psvita/etc. (as long as you can homebrew your consoles.) I've played yume nikki tons of times on handhelds like this and it's pretty comfy.

 No.2629

>>2625 It feels so homely, especially the barracks settlement.

its also nice to think that DD is the game where mado gets the courage to leave, so she's able to come and go there when she needs to like us, sorta

I bet that's for getting attention on weekly 50% off. They were spamming about this everyday on different languages (which may appear as "corrupted" and edgy too, I think).

Maybe I'm just overthinking here.

Or are they having 50% off because there will be some new content soon? I hope so… Otherwise I'll be disappointed more than I already am.

Also the first tweet on OP's pic is Base64 code (I assume). I've tried to decode it but, man, jap characters encoding is killing me.

Do you actually think that after years of silence he would return to the public eye in the form of an ecard made from cobbling together in game sprites? They didn't even explicitly state that he made it, if he did there's no way they would let there be doubt.

Posted this on tumblr, but figured y'all would want this too.

-Dreamcast- is the unofficial release of the Dream Diary soundtrack.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m0_KsuO5GgEuQHRzFBcrFTcx2YpobRz2/view?usp=drivesdk
These are files directly ripped from the games files with little to no alteration.

I may have not labeled certain worlds properly as some remixes are incredibly hard to connect with the original counterpart.

Returning tracks like OG Nasu were not included, simply because other albums have featured them.

I didn’t include the Ao Oni Tracks either as I don’t know if those are straight rips from their original game.

Most of the titles have references to previously released versions of the original YN OST, manga and light novel. Have fun if you can recognize them!
Hope you guys enjoy!

Anyone knows if someone (especially on Japaneese YN community) tried contacting Kadokawa to ask if they could give more proof about the fact that Kikiyama worked on this game or even approved it?

Because you're all building your conspiracy theories about Kikiyama but is anyone even tried contacting Kadokawa or game devs? If the answer is no, than you are pathetic, people.

I really see no reasons for Kadokawa to develop this game just for profit. Be honest, is YN fandom that big? No. Than is it worth faking presence of Kikiyama to get attention? No, because YN fandom is not that big. Is there a 100% guarantee that YN fandom will love this game and buy it? No, in fact it is opposite.

Than why, anon? They could've easily pick Ib or With House and gain more profit for it and everyone would've be happy. Why Yume Nikki?

What if they've really found the way to contact Kikiyama?

I stopped paying attention to YNDD right after it came out (I was very disappointed) so I missed the fun times of creating all these theories. But considering the size of Kadokawa and the probable size of their legal team, seems unlikely they would pull something like breaking copyright.

Cool art man.

That would be cool if Konami made a Yume Nikki game

 No.2607

imagine expecting kikiyama to answer an email about his involvement.

"yeah random anon, i just ceded the YN IP to kadokawa for a moderate amount of money and my involvement with the new game is what it's minimally needed for its development as it's stated under my contractual obligations, since I lost interest in yume nikki for more than a decade now, as it should've been clear by the fact that the original game remains essentially incomplete. I'm admitting to this despite the fact that it would obviously undermine the appeal of what's now an asset for a company I signed a contract with, possibly voiding it and harming their bottom line making me liable of legislative action against me"

Maybe Yumenikki Dream Diary is a noncanon sequel and the bloodstain you interact with in the beginning is a giveaway that Madotsuki jumped. She's either in a coma, her brain is having hallucinations since she's dying or in the theory that the jump was symbolic, she went even deeper into whatever limbo she's in.

Ironically enough, I think the only thing people don't like at all is the game itself. The soundtrack and a lot of the concept art is gorgeous, but other than that, nah.
