>What is this? Yume Shikki is a yume nikki fangame being made as a colaborative effort by various members of the Yea Forums board in a similar vein to Yume 2kki.
>How long has this been in development? The original thread suggesting the idea was posted on Yea Forums on the 19th of april, development started a few days after this and the first build was released one week later on the 26th of april
>Can I help out? Of course, you can join the development team via google docs here drive.google.com/open?id=1aBAAaipxu-snIAZdvh8rYXLNxtm5Bk-D , or you can simply help out by testing new builds and suggesting ideas. Even posting an old dream down below can help us get the creative juices flowing
As always devs will be hanging around responding to comments for a while after the thread is first up so feel free to ask us any questions you may have.
Bump Can't play right now, what's different since the last build, and how's it hanging

Gavin Myers
How much longer until there's an ending?
Leo Jenkins
One last bump
Alexander Mitchell
That's great to know this project is still going also bump
Slow day, but I could share some of the old assets that I made for an old project and you guys could touch them up and use them as you see fit
Joshua Morgan
Sure, go ahead.

Yeah, it's always nice to see YN threads hit the bump limit.
Charles Anderson
Compared to some of the stuff I could do now, not really, but I'd have to find the motivation to do spritework again after abandoning my old project. This is probably the best it looked, and RPG Maker's bullshit quirks were making things miserable for me because I'm more of an art dude than someone who can actually make coherent ideas. Throw me some ideas for a world and I could be some more help. I kinda want to keep most of the ideas I had for my old project to myself still, god I'm stupid
>Throw me some ideas for a world and I could be some more help for what it's worth, there's a pretty extensive list of dreams anons have posted in these threads in the google drive mentioned in the OP that we've been using for inspiration, you can use that if you want.
Aaron Ward
If you want, you can always just check out the dev chat before deciding if you want to make something, and check out the dream archive we have for inspiration. >RPG Maker's bullshit quirks were making things miserable for me We have several people with enough knowledge of RPM tile and spritesets that there should be no trouble in that regard. It's quite simple, really.
Yeah, well. The game's name is the least of our concerns.
Of course he isn't. I think the original has already become bored of this game.
Christian James
ok static guy when will you join the team already.
Oliver Evans
You know I think it's terrible, liability and terrible liability that every Yume Nikki fangame is being made in rpgmaker of somekind, and thus share the same slow, grid based movement, which can only be alleviated by using your single effect slot on vehicle instead of cool stuff and cool stuff itself not being all that cool. These games should be made in Cave Story engine.
Ayden Jenkins
Just don't make walk speed so slow that we're forced to use the vehicle effect. Or go like Pokemon and hold a button to run faster.
I hope it gets some crystal / stained glass area here, the LCD DEM one is beautiful
Alexander Garcia
Ideally they probably should not be made at all.
Jackson Moore
We did consider putting the bike effect on a hotkey, but no one got around to that yet.
Dominic Brown
>These games should be made in Cave Story engine Then the game would be fundamentally different. It's not an option, really. At least not at this point in time.
Nolan Morgan
the problem with a vehicle effect, compared to hold to run, is that it makes you use the other effects way less. I've noticed myself thinking "either I wear a cool/cute effect and be slow or I go with vehicle boring all the time"
Yume 2kki somewhat solves this with combination effects, but that's way more work
I think the ultimate way would be to have a custom engine on github such that we can create, curate and upload maps and resources. But I don't think we can do that with the people we have.
Josiah Davis
Good point. We're thinking of an intermediary solution (running is an option but slightly slower than a vehicle).
Don't we all
Of course. On the whole, though, I like that RPM is simple enough for anyone to make a valuable contribution with only a limited amount of knowledge needed. It encourages participation, I think. Besides that, the relatively limited options of RPM also inspire some creativity, in a way.
I have this recurring dream of an old arcade/video game store in my neighborhood. You go down about 15 steps down an unmarked bunker through a door, then up 7 steps and through another door. Theres a video game/merchandise room, an arcade, and a lobby with tables and chairs and snacks. The place is always in a slightly dilapidated state and contents of the place change somewhat from night to night.
Josiah Richardson
when I was young I dreamed of a persistant world. It was so big and detailed either each dream explored new areas (keeping consistency), or you could even lucid dream, remember where things were and go through the city.
It had a mall with an amusement park at the roof, there was a lake, a big bridge, bars, arcade places, LANDS MOUNTAINS VILLAGES RUINS that you needed to take a train to reach... and it was always consistent.
It was balls to the wall insane, I still wonder about that sometimes
The secret is that it's actually pronounced forky and shikki is just a cover, but let's keep that between the two of us.
Isaac White
I'd want it to bee less of a professionalism and of a gamefeel thing. Imagine exploring huge aesthetic locations, but you're moving through it like an inert cannonball instead of freight train on a single wheel.
Jeremiah Parker
There is a fangame with an effect that gives 8 direction movement.
Oliver Bell
bump
Owen Butler
well, it's still barebones but I liked a lot the Doom area (needs better tiles), the stars area and the birds area (loved those ones)
Keep up the good work! Also fuck fish
Jacob Taylor
Fish area is the best though.
Adrian Wilson
I like the new footstep default sound, its similar to the one in YN but different enough
Cooper Ward
Bumpie bump
Hudson Parker
Really like the implementation of the beige hallways concept, but the music has a little bump of silence when it loops, so either making an extended version or trying to hide the bump with some small cuts into the white noise so its isnt as abrupt would work nice.
Carter Ross
Noted. I'll try to fix that.
Carter Ramirez
Small bug, if you use the bed while going to sleep on the right tile on the top, there is a small animation glitch.
Benjamin Perry
and how many maps are from this? since its looks like toooo ambitious
Nicholas Reyes
That's just a concept map, it's likely not going to be that big.
William Bennett
Okay, i feel like the ear even if broken, i have tried to escape this fucker more than 10 times now but he instantly gets me in the music box room.
Tyler Jenkins
Some time ago I had a rather interesting dream. Started with me and my friend in a really hard to control sports car we started driving around for no reason really. Got the hang of it, and eventually it seemed like we were in a race. This didn't last, at some point we stopped as we heard of an attempted terrorist attack. Then, my best friend and I decided to one up him and do it right. Skips over to where we needed to be, we were about to start poisoning food in some secret organizations (?)building. Shit went down, friend got caught and I hid in a closet. I eventually left it and was then dragged along by some agents I had seen earlier to a really weird ruin like place that was somehow a part of the building. There, they declared that this agency had gone down a wrong path, and that they have to oppose it and reform it into something better. Or something. They then decided to go to Scotland where an abandoned castle previously used as the HQ of this organization was(cont)

A seemingly uninhabited world where dark grey earth stretches across the landscape in every direction. All that can be see around and in the distance are cylinder shaped stone pillars that reach into the clouds, the size of skyscrapers. The skies are constantly covered in grey clouds and the booms of thunder can be heard all around while the clouds burst with flashes of lightning. After wandering around for awhile, you find a small wooden cabin. You enter the rickety cabin and find nothing but an elderly woman sitting in the main room in a chair, but without any other furniture. Walking around the house are black cats, or what appear to black cats. By looking at them closer, you can tell their faces are actually small tv screens with static on the monitors. Other than that, they walk around like normal. There are roughly a dozen of them in the house. The woman tells you to enter the conjoining room and inside you see a cellar, which opens to find a staircase leading into a dark corridor. The woman tells you to follow that corridor to take you to your destination.
I had this dream as a young kid and it really stuck with me. I would be honored if something like this could make it into the game.
Logan Hall
After that they started to chant a weird and mysterious language while dancing, which caused energy to surround them. This was apparently teleporting to this HQ. Dream ended as I was forcefully brought along with them to this abandoned HQ.
Eli Moore
Heya I know that this probably be archive soon but I think you guy should go ask /qa/ for help that place seem decent
Angel Gomez
I had a dream today where I was walking down the street of a rich neighborhood by the water. All of the houses were built by an artist. They were all small, white and built like a cube with a flat roof. On top of the houses, they had different looks, like "modern art" style sculptures. Kinda reminded me of alexander calder's stuff, which is weird because his name just popped in my head whike I was typing this out and I hadn't read about him since elementary school. One of the people I was walking with remarked how stupid these rich fuckers were for spending a few million dollars on a tiny house the size of a living room. I got to go inside of one and it was really cramped, like one of those weird microhouses (though like I said it was small on the outside too.)
