so, this was mentioned a while ago, theres a new 3D game "based on" Yume nikki.
Its some sort of platform/puzzle/ collecting shit, not exploreation based like the original.

I've been playing it on and off, it's alright once you get over the fact it's not Yume Nikki HD
it's a little too much focused on horror
a lot of the sequences are scripted, you can die and restart an area which can get grating pretty fast.
areas recreated from the original yume nikki are tonally different from new ones made
collectable concept art is pretty neat

I don't want to shit on this game as a lot of effort was put into it, but the new art style doesn't work. Part of what made the original good was it's abstraction and ambiguity. Since there was a lack of detail in the original game, you actively tried to make sense of everything you've seen.
6daedb No.14392618
It's like a slap to the face of every Yume Nikki fan.
The whole game is more like a game that's making references to Yume Nikki by using places and inserting certain easter eggs at certain points to create a recognition factor. The terrible thing about these references is that they are entirely leaving out the best parts.
Remember for example that part where you could transform into a witch and fly around from a roof?
The same location exists in this game, but theres only the flying witch music, nothing else.
It's just so pathetic how hard they tried to copy alot of places and worlds and then completly failed to implement what made them good. Every path and place you go to is a stupid hallway with dumb riddles and instadeath traps. And worst of all, all these paths lead you to some item or place that you need to go to in order to progress.
What I loved about Yume Nikki was that sometimes I would spend alot of time exploring a very long path, requiring me to use all kind of effects to get there, only to end up in a complete dead end which didn't give me any real reward or progress.
And this lack of purpose for these kind of areas made me appreciate them for what they are, cozy little pockets that you could observe and try to interact with. It was overall a very appropiate thing for a game that takes place in a dreamworld.
This new game takes away all the magic of the dreamworld we know.
It also accomplishes that by being terribly dark and edgy. Like I said, theres tons of things trying to kill you and all the areas are really grim and dark in the literal sense. Having a depressing atmosphere is one thing, but making every area so dark that I can't even see where I'm going or what I can interact with is just terrible.
This is completly different from the dreamworld we know from the original. Yeah sure, there were some doors that lead to worlds with lots of darkness, but what about the worlds and places that were filled with colours and something that resembled a tranquil peace.
The only good thing I can mention about this game is the ending. The first time I played the original it broke my heart, and I had to wait 10 years to see Madotsuki have a happy ending

The Ao Oni rip-off mini-game was unironically the only good part about the new game.

It was a surreal and non-linear walking sim that required you to explore and collect items in a dream world. The novel thing about it was that it brought communities together to discuss it's lore and themes. People didn't mind the lack of gameplay because it was apolitical and the first of it's kind.
fe1e40 No.14393020
>>14392657
It was a walking sim, but one of the few good ones - no handholding, no heavy-handed storytelling with some politpropaganda. Just a big, labyrinthine world with lots of weird symbolism and a seriously ominous background vibe to explore.
Kinda like a (good) vidya creepypasta made real.

Is it really that bad though? You could argue that if you wanted to play an exploration dream simulator you could just play Yume Nikki, so I don't think that them doing something different with it is necessarily bad as it's still a side thing that you could just as well treat as a high-budget fangame.

I'm sure the child prostitute part was actually before he made Toriko. That's why they cancelled Seikimatsu Leader Den Takeshi. Toriko was the revival after that incident, even though he did a small shorter series called Ring before that. It seems he has only done a bunch of one-shots since 2017 and hasn't had a new series yet.

The legacy's been tainted and now we'll have to put up with game theory levels of bullshit, probably going to have fan games invaded, edgy art, and pretentious people with heads so far up their ass they're on the second wrap around.
Those people are going to fuck the community beyond recognition, flood with bad art, 'fan games', and more than likely too many crossovers with X games while pretending they've been on board since the original finished. I don't want to give these people my game, but if I ever finish I know thats what'll happen.

What could be more worth it than the divine spark of creation? Create because you want to create regardless of who will enjoy it. Even if you are the only person to ever play your game, put all your heart and soul into it to make it the vision you want to create.
The pictures you post are great examples of what need to be done. They are a piece of someones soul, an expression of their emotions. What could be more beautiful than that?

Ultimately, it's one of the many games that actually shoots itself in the foot branding itself as a remake.

I can see why some of the fangame devs have gone nuts. You could always do what Zenmaigahara did and lock the game down. He got pissed at the western fanbase after people stole sprites from him, so he went full "whitu piggu go homu" and the next patch had a password that required you to know the story of momotaro. Hardly the hardest puzzle to crack, but throw in a series of "how many genders are there" and "who did nothing wrong" questions before booting the game and you'd probably filter a lot of chaff. Having to do anything like this really removes yourself from being purely expressive, which sucks too. It wouldn't just be want you want the game to be, but what you have to do to keep it as close as you can.
