Why is everybody saying these look good? The unnecessary pop-corn paint textures look awful and everything is way darker than it should be. It's shot and lighted exactly like a horror game would be. The addition of more, "real world", elements is also worrisome(a playground?. The problem with realistic 3-d graphics is that they're bound to age badly. These already look like something from either ten years ago or a mobile game. Cartoonish 3-d ages much better and requires less resources, which is perfect for yn. Why they chose to make it realistic when they didn't have to just because it's 3-d and doesn't fit with yn at all, I have no clue.

 No.983

>>982
They look good because they capture the atmosphere well and faithfully recreated some areas. The dark lighting actually serves to mask any of the flaws there.

I wouldn't say so. Getting details right is a low-bar in my opinion. The worrying part is that they're adding something else in that doesn't contribute much. A regular, ordinary playground. It's an unnecessary and uncreative addition meant to convey something that is unrelated to yn. Its spooky and dark because we need more spooky and dark things for some reason.
>>984
Not why I used that picture. Look at the wall texture. That's what I meant by unnecessary pop-corn paint. It's fuckin ugly. That doesn't change the fact that most of everything else we have seen is also dark as fuck. Stop being so presumptuous.

That's all you've been doing though. It's fine to be worried but you're still jumping to conclusions. We don't know what the school/playground tie into but we can tell from here >>978 that it might involve Monoe.

To be fair it wasn't clear at all what point you wanted to make with that image. Most of your early point complained about darkness.

>>988
A bulk of the original game had dark areas, they just seem brighter in the original because it's a different medium. Going for the more consistently realistic style (which isn't a bad thing - trying to mimic the original in 3D would look like total shit, which is one reason I don't like what we've seen of the mural world for instance), areas that were dark in the original are going to be more obviously dark here. Pink sea isn't dark, outdoors of the school isn't dark. People complain about the "spookiness" of the trailers too but they are more surreal than anything, just like the intention of the original game. Only a couple of the screenshots we've seen have looked explicitly horror, even with the darker areas.

 No.993

>>990
>That's all you've
>all
So I was presuming that I don't like the art direction that is right in front of me? Giving Monoe a bigger role might be interesting, but I really hope they don't go the slenderman route where this horrifying monster is following you around. If Monoe has a bigger role and connection to the playground + highschool, that makes me worry that they'll try to elaborate on the backstory. At the very least it would be bait for cancerous theories.

 No.994

>>988
> A regular, ordinary playground. It's an unnecessary and uncreative addition meant to convey something that is unrelated to yn.
I want some of the shit you smoke.

There are plenty of normal looking places in Yume Nikki if taken out of context. Poniko's room, the sewers, the mall's rooftop, the forest, the road, the snow world… If you take a screenshot of any of those, most of the time, it will look like an uncreative unnecessary place. You are cherry picking.

 No.996

There is a weird inconsistency in screenshot quality this time around. I'm hoping that these are just (for whatever reason) really low quality, because it's really jarring in comparison to some the earlier ones that I thought looked great even in their simplicity. Barracks ground texture for instance just doesn't look good to me.

 No.997

>>992
>which isn't a bad thing - trying to mimic the original in 3D would look like total shit
Why? It would be harder to do something besides generic ps2 style realism, but the product would be better in the end if it had a distinctive art style. It just like a boring 3-d art student project.
>are more surreal than anything
Not really. A bunch of repeating noises, patterns and strange music is more eerie than surreal. I just don't feel it, and i'm trying to express why.

 No.998

>>997
>boring 3-d art student project

See, this is what I think it would look like if you tried to recreate the original. Areas with the Paracas details floating in the ether just would not work in 3D. It would look forced and pasted. Instead, remaking this in a more modern medium with new details and adapting for a more realistic look is a creative way of doing things that gives room for something new and allows for a depth in atmosphere that would not work for the wide open blank empty spaces in the original if they were to translate it to 3D as is.

>Not really. A bunch of repeating noises, patterns and strange music is more eerie than surreal.


The only thing eerie was the crying and screaming in the first, and even then, it was only a short portion. The visuals of the non gameplay trailers were psychedelic and mysterious, which lends itself to the dreamlike atmosphere. Music wasn't "scary". Gameplay trailer had sadder music too. Promo images we've seen haven't been too scary either, just dreamlike and sort of serene.

Just because the original was made by an amateur, that doesn't mean the 3-d version has to look like it was too.
>just would not work in 3D
If the art style was as surreal as possible it would. The technology exists to make games that look like 1930's cartoons. Technical limitations are not a problem anymore. The 3-d isn't even actually realistic, which might work if it was done really well. It looks like that ugly, ps2, pseudo-realistic.

Kiki made a really nice game 10+ years ago over the course of 4 years in a very easy to use engine and didn't really finished it.
So trying to make a full 3D commercial release in a few months is pretty fucking nuts, no shit it would look bad if they really don't know what they're doing.
Also I can't really see a person that completely disappeared for 10 years being the most communicative. It took them like 2 weeks after the game announcement to update their fucking site with some text.

But for me the worst culprit is Kadokawa and all the strange decisions they are making, like the team being mostly translators, the short timeframe, being vague about everything, making this game at all, etc.
It's a pretty big company, you'd think they could handle some shit.
I just hope that the dev's love is enough to make a fun game.

To be fair, these are still, unmoving pictures. The game could have some kind of motion blur effect going on, or perhaps the sky in the picture is animated and was out of focus when screenshotted so as not to spoil the prettiest area in the game. I can imagine you get a specific prompt as you get closer to it which sharpens the whole thing. Who knows.

Based on what we've seen so far, it'll look even worse than the concept art. Like a low res version or something. While the veins are a problem, the main issue I have with it is insistence on humanization. The original just has no arms, while this ,"interpretation", chooses to make it look like it's wearing a fleshy straight-jacket. Why? There's also the unnecessary fish face. YN did this really interesting thing where there was clear divide between three layers. Concrete beings, imaginary beings, and the environment. Mado and Poniko were sort of more concrete. They just felt more real. Most of everything else felt like it was on a, "lower plane of existence". They looked the part. They looked unreal within the game itself. That wouldn't be easy to do in 3-d, but it's possible if the devs are skilled.

I'm going to be honest, I've always for some reason saw Onsen as a giant bird coming out of the hotsprings with a long neck and drilling its beak into the ground with two tongues or something. This new form of Onsen is a revelation for me that it could even be seen as a figure sitting down with a long braid or something and blue legs.

The silent hill vibes there are undeniable. So it does seem that this game might have a darker tone. Which, honestly I don't mind as long as it's done well. Some of the screenshots do show there will be calmer areas.

Onsen-san is LITERALLY the fucking Lying Figure/Armless Man/Fleshjacket enemy from SH2.

They're definitely going for a more horror route now, aren't they? The original YN was dark, but it's not a damn horror game. Only fucking casuals are gonna call it a horror game because they don't understand that there are other types of dark ambience and because Uboa weakly jumpscares you for all of two seconds.

I'm not sure if Kikiyama is deliberately playing to the "2spooky4me" crowd for cash or Kadokawa is grossly misunderstanding the original game and thinks straight SH-style nightmares are the easiest route to go on. The actual screenshot make the game's "side angle view" look a great deal like Little Nightmares as well, which it's probably gonna be a great deal more like due to switches and puzzles crap. LN was fine, but YN didn't have that in the original, it was just exploring the void. I'd say they're ripping off of it too, but I'm not sure if development times would match up.

Not to mention the fucking new mannequins in "sexy" poses. >>973 which SH popularized. And the newfound advance darkness of Mado's dreams that's absent from the original.

I'm worried they're going to try and play up the sexual elements too. Just to further emulate the popular cliche psychological horror games. The mannequins definitely do have a sexual component to them, and SH milks that for all it's worth because of James' sexual frustration and pretty much all future protagonists because they desperately want to get some. It's so bad that they're really low hanging fruit nowadays for horny horror symbolism. And then you have the new dickbutt monster >>938 which looks "normal surreal" in Kiki's apparently "original" concept art, but it's 3D model looks like the creators tried to make it look as sexual as possible (bent over, legs spread, head is a dripping/cumming penis) when the sketch is more childish and not nearly as perverted. To a lesser extent, Onsen also has a pretty obvious ahegao face going on.

Are they just mining the old /t/ boards for the edgiest shit they can find for the new game? God, I hope not. I'm worried they'll give us a story that reads like an average MADO WAS RAEP'D post like "Mado is trans and is bullied and molested by teen lesbian Monoe who is being molested by her piano teacher so she kills him but doesn't feel better so she kills herself and gives Mado her uterus and then Mado becomes a prostitute and is molested by a giant pink dick and a blue leg and gets pregnant with a deformed baby and considers molesting her bff Poniko who has split personality disorder and her other personality is a rapist" or some fucking stupid dumb shit like that.

YN had dark and sensual themes sure, but that's different from horror and sexual. Rape likely wouldn't even be a popular fan theory if it wasn't for perverts and memes. KyuuKyuu doesn't even look that much like a dick anyway, but since everyone is Freud, they took the first thing that looked only vaguely like a penis and said it meant rape. I really hope it doesn't try and be shock out edge like that.

If they wanted to make a horror game they ought to have done one for .flow or LISA. Not YN.

The original game was plenty "dark" both thematically and in terms of areas, the style just had brighter colors in the darker areas. Take a look at Madotsuki's original apartment and you'll see in the background that it's night time. The only original areas that are noticeably more dark are the snow world (and we don't know if there are both night and day or if that's an intermediate area), and the inside of some buildings, which for Mado's apartment as said above is already in the night time anyway. The original game also had sexual aspects to it as you said, but your assertion that the new look for that new sketch looks sexual is purely the freudian perversion you're criticizing yourself. It has humanoid anatomical likeness because, guess what, the style of this different game is to be more realistic overall. It's legs are spread in the original sketch too, but you seemed to have conveniently ignored that. Remember the other original sketches and creatures from the original game that had white liquid pouring out of their heads? The pregnant looking creatures that conveniently fit perfectly with the severed floating heads in the white desert? This'll be a good time to say that the sexual interpretations of Yume Nikki aren't as baseless as the people that got older and are just tired of seeing it all the time would say. And the new mannequins don't look overly sexual either. Have you ever been to a department store? That's how they look because they're modeling a style. I'm getting really tired of the same old "the game is missing the point, it's too spooky!" argument when it's really only based on an interpretation of the lighting in the game without any gameplay to confirm it. Every trailer we've seen is more surreal or sad than scary. I'll give you that nu-onsen looks creepier, but that's it.

In the end the changes the new game does take NOTHING away from the original. It doesn't matter if they add in a dragon that farts rainbows, it changes not a single thing from the original.

It's not a sequel, or a remake, it is a new take on the game by fans with an OK from the creator. I prefer how Onsen looks in the original but I don't mind this "creepy" new design because it's fun seeing how it got reinterpreted by another artist, which in fact is the whole magic of fanart.

Better concerns would be how they'll handle the soundtrack, the single most important thing, and how the effects will be interpreted.

People need to understand nothing stays the same forever, things will change, and the new game is giving a new look through different eyes.It's fine to give something a new face and will NOT damage what came previous.Plus not everybody knows yume nikki and/or have interest in playing it. I belive this game will combine both worlds: the people who know and like yume nikki and the people who don't know or like the original game.

AND it's ok to dislike things, everybody have different opnions but be open-minded just because things changes doesn't mean its bad.

1.Nobody here has said that the game will definitely be bad. They have only given their thoughts on the screen caps and speculation about the game based off of what Kadokawa chooses to spotlight before the release.
2.Something isn't good just because it's a new, "interpretation". An interpretation can be good or bad. An interpretation speaks to the intent of the interpreter. Every interpretation leans in a more heavily horror direction than the original, so what that tells me is that the creators are pushing the whole thing in the horror direction. YN was not a horror game. Dark ≠ horror. The main point of yn was not to scare. This may not ultimately mean that the, "re-imagining, will be horror, but to me it says the the makers are either making things more conventional to make it more easily digestible, or they just prefer generic horror motifs. Either way, it is insulting to the original. It does not ruin the original obviously, but I am right to be offended by an insult. That is regardless of whether kiki approves or not. YN is not kikiyama.

A majority of the areas in the original most certainly were quite dark colour palette wise. Just made the lighter ones stand out more. It doesn't even seem like they've shown too many screenshots of these places; we've got the pink sea and Poniko's room, but off the top of my head also the white desert, Masada's ship, Mars, the snow world, the mall's rooftop, the wilderness, the FC world, Madotsuki's own room and the balcony, sometimes.

Somehow, it feels like even .flow had a lighter colour palette. Maybe because of all the blaringly white hospitals.

Speaking of which, I wonder what they've done about the witch effect and the rooftop event. Sure was one of the cheerier parts of the original.

The fear of drawing in a larger fanbase isn't that unusual imo. I mean, sure, if they're well behaved, but Steam and Tumblr attract LP'ers and LP'ers bring in their cancerous fanbases.
YN might still be a good game, but if it gets so bogged down with all sorts of bullshit faggotry there's no way in hell I'm gonna associate myself with it anymore. It might still be a nice game, but would YOU admit to being a big fan of it if, say, one day PewDiePie or some other asshole plays it and makes a joke about Mado having a scat fetish because of the poop hair effect, and overnight a bunch of dumb teenagers catch on to it, draw tons of fanart of Mado shitting herself, set up hundred of threads joking about Mado shitting herself, making Mado shitting herself a new meme, and eventually you can't even look up Yume Nikki with the third result being "Madotsuki shits herself like a naughty little girl uwu" would YOU want to tell someone you like the game? Albeit that's unrealistic, but it's sadly not impossible.
Undertale was a pretty decent game until Sansfaggotry and "you're going have a bad time" and midi Megalovania remixes really ruined it for me. Is it a bad game? Not really, but I'm not going to go out and tell people I like it because I'm sick to death of Sans jokes and cancer and I do not in any way to be associated with that. FNAF was a good game too, until Lets Plays ruined that. Nowadays it's pretty much become synonymous with Baby's First Horror game because it has a fanbase of five year olds. That and furries who want to unironically bone heavy machinery.
I'd be crushed if something like that happened to YN. Tumblr is already bad, but with YNDD injecting new life into it, the fandom there is starting to become worse and worse. And with more people playing it, there's no telling how it could degenerate and spread. What if it ends up one day where Uboachan is spammed to death by a bunch of Masada/Shitai-san shipping yaoi fangirls who identify as Dave Spectorkin who have invented this really disgusting name for themselves like 'Nikkiheads' or some shit and force it upon the whole fandom, who are into Doctor Who/Sherlock/Supernatural. Fake fans who see it as a meme, treat it as a meme, pervert it and leave it for dead when it becomes too ugly for even them. No one wants that.

Before you say this is 'stupid' or 'unrealistic' or 'YN is too old for anything like that' I have six words for you.

This is stupid. I don't go around saying I like Yume Nikki. I don't even go around saying I like games.

If I meet someone that says they like YN, and I like that person, then I will tell them I like it too. If I want to connect with someone, I will tell them what I like and I don't like. It's not a greeting, not a business card, it's something you talk about after a while.

And community sites like this work exactly the same way. You see the people around you, and you decide if you want to participate or not.

No one is gonna think you are stupid for liking MLP, but they are gonna think you are stupid if that's the first thing that comes out of your mouth, you bring it up when it's not relevant, or, in general, if you act stupidly about it.

You can't really control where a fandom will go. And there is already art of everything you described for Yume Nikki too, but it's important to recognize that's just a part of the fanbase. Undertale had a feel-good story as well as a depressing one, and some meta "what is a video game" stuff that appealed to a lot of people. Unfortunately, anything popular is going to have this phenomenon of attracting people you don't identify with, even if the base material is good. There's no point gatekeeping, we just gotta hope the new game is as good as it promises.

I'm not sure how true that is because, even though those are smaller indie horror games, you really don't see anyone talking about any of them anymore. I feel like him playing these games actually drove away people who might be interested in them.

Markiplier on the other hand I think can ruin shit. I'm pretty sure it was him who ruined FNAF, and I also think he caused BATIM to acquire a degenerate cancer fanbase shortly after it's creation (not that BATIM is really that good a game to start with. The concept is kinda weak and cliche, but I thought he was first on the scene and is now the reason that it's got such a huge backing of tumblr babies.)

yeah, it obviously doesnt say
>KYUUKYUU-KUN AGE 37
on it but it gives some pretty interesting insight on the reimagining. its a fictitious dream world, so these people arent naturally varying in height- they were drawn that way by artists with something in mind.
for example, the heights of poniko and monoe make them appear the same age, maybe high schoolers. madotsuki looks younger, maybe early high school or late middle school, while monoko is even younger than that.
the o-man is tall and looks like an adult, which makes sense since he seems like a psychiatrist or psychologist.
the height of the toriningens is interesting as well, as this line of reasoning implies that theyre adults rather than madotsukis age.
seeing a height comparison picture definitely gives something new to think about when the 4 girls were all sprites of the same heights in the original

How do you define actively? If kikyama is neither making the concept art, nor making the 3d-graphics, nor programming it, it's not their game.

How is it any different from my 2hu example? Becuase a company is doing it?

 No.1272

>>1271
Do you know whether Kikiyama can program this specific type of game, or whether he has skills in 3D? He obviously has minimal illustrative skills in the least, so of course he wouldn't be doing drawn concepts meant to be detailed for a game trying to bring Yume Nikki into a more modern medium. You're correct that we have minimal information, but everything we do know about this situation actually leans more towards that this is official than fanwork with the insistence on Kikiyama's involvement, cooperation with him, old sketches being utilized, etc., but because it's a different sort of game and not a direct sequel/prequel/whatever and because you're apprehensive about the changes, you all are consistently trying to separate it from anything official as much as possible.

Even if you assume than they dont know how to do any of those tasks, they could still be a co-director or game designer or writer or anything more than just a supervisor, otherwise the "full cooperation" line that they are showing everywhere would be a lie and we go back to the scam theory.

What we actually know for sure is (from the other thread)
>The game is being developed primarily by Active Gaming Media Inc. with heavy supervision and support by Kikiyama.
>Kikiyama is properly on board with the project, he worked as a designer on the project and personally signed off on everything he chose for them to move forward with on the project and contributed ideas and scrapped ideas for the original for things to be added to it(pic related). Everything has gone through and been approved by Kikiyama for this project.
>Direct quote from one of the developers "Kikiyama was involved in the design and in decisions pertaining to the game's development, and nothing is being done without their approval."

It's hard to say anything with certainty still. We know Kikiyama's involved somehow, we know they've given their blessing, but it's hard to say what that means, because as it's been said, the manga was also made with Kikiyama's approval, so who knows how rigid or not Kikiyama is with the idea of canon.

They've contributed and scrapped ideas, so I would say it's more involved than the manga, but how much we can't be sure. Kikiyama isn't at the studio making the game, anyway, but it sounds like they made some things for the game.

Full cooperation can mean a lot of things. "We've given the police our full cooperation during this investigation". Meaning, anything the dev team asks Kikiyama, they might be willing to answer, or it could be things like "can we make Poniko taller" and Kikiyama saying "sure, I'll let you do that" "thanks for cooperating with us". It's easy to exaggerate and say "oh every single thing was approved by Kikiyama", when they could just give them the game Kadokawa's making, and wait for a thumbs up or a thumbs down on any questions they have.

Also, the most important thing- the game is described as a Reimagining, so it's not meant to be exactly like the original.

I lean towards glorified fanwork myself (like the ZUN examples), at least unless we get more information.

People just have to understand that all fandoms have people like that, and even though they could give the fandom a bad reputation, it's not like those people would change the quality of the original game.

Ok, so I'm not sure if this image has been posted yet, but they posted this image on Twitter.

I realize it's just drawn art, and not a 3D model or anything like that, but does anyone else think Madotsuki looks younger in this piece of art?

Her shirt looks like it's too big for her. I mean, look at the sleeves for a moment. It looks like her sleeves are too long, and extend past her hands. Because of that, it seems like she is holding the knife through her sleeve, if that makes sense.

She looks shorter and a bit more thin than other art.

And, please correct me if I'm wrong, but her pigtails also seem shorter.

So, I have some theories.

Theory number 1: It's showcasing the midget effect.

Theory number 2: It's hinting that at some point in the game, Madotsuki becomes younger, and maybe the dream world becomes more weird as a result.

There's been a variety of artists working on the project like >>1502 said. Character artist, environmental artists, and the original poster artist, to name three of them (though I'm not positive they're different people). It looks to me more like they're showing off the knife more than anything.

Sometimes she has white socks (like this picture), sometimes she has dark socks, take the concept art with a grain of salt.

It's not THAT weird honestly, there might be people with PCs who can't run it, which makes sense since Japan uses a lot of old laptops or PCs.

good work, anon
so those screenshots are just part of an opening segment to introduce controls? interesting..
it sounds like that final opening scene will involve mado finding something familiar in the playground. with how much theyre pushing it, maybe she finds the knife effect there or something? who knows, but its weird that they gave this game an actual opening sequence

A fuck I didn't proofread and closed the editor already.
Well, here's the edited text:

本作には、大きく分けて6つの夢の世界が用意されている。今回はその中から、先行プレイ版で体験できた夢世界の一部を紹介しよう。ぜんまいのような不思議な植物が茂る、荒涼としたこの夢世界では、"列車"に乗ることで、さまざまなエリアを行き来できる。その中のひとつであるゴーストタウンのようなエリアには、恐ろしい唸り声を上げる謎の生き物が、往来をうろついている。彼に捕まったらどうなるか、どうやったら沈静化できるか……という発想でプレイを進めていこう。
This work is basically laid out around six worlds. I will try to introduce one of the those coming on the next playable version. This desolate world where strange plants resembling mainspring are growing everywhere can be reached by taking a "train", which makes you able to go and come from many different areas. Among those, there's one that looks like a ghost town, where mysterious creatures who raise their voices in dreadful groans loiter around. "What would happen If you got caught by them?", "How can you calm them down and make them quiet?" They were conceived to be gameplay elements with those ideas in mind.

扉をくぐった直後の場面。何やら象徴的な石造物が並んでいる。
The place just after crossing the door. For some reason, some symbolic stone objects are lined up there.

列車内や街で出会う主人たちは、どこか人間離れした外見の者ばかり。話掛けても、まともな反応が返ってくることはほとんどない。
不気味さを感じる一方で、関係性の希薄さや気楽さにホッとする面も。
All creatures you meet on the town, or inside the train, have a vaguely human appearance. Even if you try talking with them, they won't reply in any normal way.
While on one hand it feels eerie, the thinness of the nature of their relationship with the character and their comfortable attitude makes these areas feel more relaxing.

「ギリギリでボツになったお気に入りキャラ」とのことで、ふぁんいはうれしい要素。
We've been told this is "A favorite character that was almost discarded", we're sure fans will appreciate it.

You're not the only one that cringed at that.

Also, a note on this "year's first dream good omen" thing. Traditionally, the contents of such a dream would foretell the luck of the dreamer in the ensuing year. What exactly they tried to mean, I don't know, but that's literally what it says. I'm tired anyway, could be anything.

>Six worlds
There seems to be more than 6 locations, maybe they're talking about 6 basic and then deeper worlds?

Anyway, I think all the locations we have right now are:
School
Streets
Mural World
Snow World (and Pink Sea)
Docks
Wasteland (and Barracks)
Mall

Surely Sky Garden and the Forest considering the screenshots of the cliff with the Maussan Bros and the Endless Road

And maybe the Number World if Kyuukyuu's stairs are connected correctly and Hell if the Henkei Shita is there, but with the Mono girls outside the White Desert you never know.

I hope this is a decently long game.
