Hello. I apologize for my absence from the YN thread on July 6th. I read the replies I received and it made me very happy. I am sorry not all questions were answered.
Today I will try to answer more questions. I will post pictures from the development of YUMENIKKI as well.
When this thread closes please feel free to email me your questions.
hi
coolest dude
why eggs
Port the original to the Switch! Please!
tell me about the Kadokawa's YN remake
How do you feel about the novel.
Why make more?
How do you feel about other "copycat" games?
Probably bullshit, but if true, I just wanted to say thanks for making a cool piece of internet history.
How are you posting from the afterlife?
it's already on the switch
I had a dream about hunting for painted Easter eggs.
I think it will be harder to update the PC and Switch at the same time. I will think about it, but probably not!
It is a good interpretation, so I am a fan.
They are amazing. I think some are better than my original project. I am ashamed for not improving for a long time.
Thank you for playing.
Who ever designed that building is really bad at Tetris.
are you a sadist
How do you feel about BRACK PREPOL
Do you like dogs?
Also, thank you for the squeaky shoe simulator!
別個ゲームお作成しますか?
とにかく、「YUMENIKKI」好きです。ありがとう!
ああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああ
This was also a dream I had. The walls were red, so originally the non-accessible areas were red like the floor, but it was too hard to look at. I think I made it easier.
I get nervous around them.
プレイしてくれてありがとう。
「YUMENIKKI」が完成するまでは、もうゲームを作りたくありません。
Do you like magical girls?
Was madotsuki raped or something? Why are her dreams so dark sometimes, and what's with all the eyes?
You are cool
was there any trauma that madotsuki went through? what does Uboa represent for her?
Any new projects on horizon?
Sadly there are too few of games of this kind around
Thank you for making such a lovely game. Playing it for the first time was really memorable.
No. She refuses to go outside because her dreams influence her perception of the real world. There are beings in her dreams that are forcing her to witness unsettling events. Originally the knife was the last effect that would be granted in the Door World, and you had to kill everything.
However, it felt inappropriate.
The "Uboa" is a hidden implication that all the nice dreams Madotsuki sees, have evil beings behind them in disguise. I wanted the player to specifically witness a familiar human transforming into it to feel unsafe around anything.
Wait, is this the real Kikiyama?
just wanted to say thanks
>完成する
When will that be? What do you have left do, in general?
My goal is to update the game to have twice as much content, as a post-game after the ending.
Who is cuter, Madotsuki or Yonaka?
This is bullshit but I believe you
will there be new endings or just new worlds?
You.
I've been postponing playing your game for so long, maybe it's time I get to it.
Always good to see devs around here, mate.
Madotsuki's story remains untouched except for bug fixes. I have left in the bicycle chair glitch. There is only one new "world", with a different character to play as.
How can you prove this is the real kikiyama?
Will you make Yume Nikki Sequel?
BASED
last thread he claimed there was going to be an update to the game "tomorrow" so figure how that went
What's the meaning behind Mars-san?
You should be dead from the earthquake
If you really are still alive, why did you let kadokawa tarnish the good name of yume nikki?
Huh, that pretty interesting. How do you feel about yume nikki 3d? Also thank you for making this game, it's really good.
Wait I'm out of the loop here, are you making a new game or updating the old one? And thanks for sharing your magical dream world with us, really, it means a lot to me. God speed!
If you are the real Kikiyama then thank you for the great game!
I am postponing the update because I either wanted to publish bugfixes or an incomplete content update. I will wait until everything is complete and then return here to announce it. YN is not the kind of game that is early access.
His form is inspired by this painting. He is miserable because of his form, and wants to die.
YN 3D is very impressive. I am flattered by all fan projects. I think it is a very faithful translation of my game to 3D and the feeling of exploring the dreams is not lost.
Are you kidding me? Is this seriously the real kikiyama?
Dude, I played your game all these years ago and I absolutely loved the atmosphere. It's still one of my favorites to this day.
What made you decide on showing up like this? I remember the Yume Nikki creator kikiyama was always a huge mistery almost as much as the game itself.
Nobody really knew who he was, and as soon as you made the game you pretty much disappeared.
People even thought you died or something.
Hey Kikiyama, posting in a legendary thread and to also say thankyou for making Yume Nikki. It's why I started browsing this site years ago. That probably seems more like a curse than a blessing, but oh well.
You're the coolest and thanks for coming back to work on Yume Nikki
I'm playing Yume Nikki for the first time right now and while I have no idea what I'm doing and no questions to ask I just want to say that I'm loving the atmosphere and ambience in this game, it's really cool.
Anyone got a link the the previous thread?
Just the post number's enough.
Coming back to say that you're still a cool dude.
What was your inspiration for Madotsuki?
Is that supposed to be the original YN dev?
Cuz if so then holy shit why didnt you make another in all these fucking years you massive faggot?!
I love you btw.
It's an amazing game.
Did you ever hear about the Dream vs. Dream project from a few years back? If so, what did you think of it
It was hard for me to accept that I made something that was worthy of fan artwork and games. It is still intimidating. I don't want to disappoint people.
Someone I knew that passed away before I started development.
>No. She refuses to go outside because her dreams influence her perception of the real world.
I like how people have been speculating about this for years.
Can she not leave? Does she refuse to leave herself or is she locked in there? Did her parents lock her in? Is she on drugs? etc.
And then one day kikiyama just shows up out of nowhere and reveals it all like it's nothing.
Hey Kiki, if it’s really you, I just wanna say thank you. Your game inspired me to go into making my own projects, and it helped me get through a really tough time in my life. Yume Nikki is one of my favorite games, and I will always cherish the things you make.
You have our hearts, always.
She is not locked in there, just afraid of what she's going to see if she leaves. Madotsuki has not left her room in a very long time.
I never played your game but your thread deserve a bump.
Same, bumping for curiosity and justice
What are you waiting for? Do it, faggot.
Have you played LSD Dream Emulator for PS1?
Hey Kikiyama, just wanted to thank you for making Yume Nikki. One of my favorite indie games. I was curious on your opinion on how big your game has gotten. Do you like that the game has become so popular?
I'm still not sure how you did it, but the way you managed to capture the fascination of so many people through your own world all by yourself is very inspiring.
youtube.com
This song in particular that you inspired people to make, it's one of my favorites of all time. I think it's endearing to see people getting close to the feelings you wanted to give through Yume Nikki with their own ways. It's kind of complicated to put into words exactly, but it's a special human thing. Your work is one of those that's able to "unlock" that thing about people, I would say.
And I've got one question. This board is currently making its own fangame called Yume 4kki. Do you have any advice to give about it ?
I fucking hate all the fangames, because the community around them is tumblr circle jerk cancer. Fuck all of you faggots for running something great into the ground. Fuck those attention seeking fags. Fuck this gay earth.
No, but my friends used to send me a lot of pictures of it.
I like that the game is popular, but I don't like being the creator of a popular game.
I have heard about it. I would say "let the character have dreams anyone can have", since I intended Madotsuki to not have a very important backstory, but I know they have been asking users for what their dreams are about, so that is very good.
Do you have any sketches or drawings of your dreams?
HOLY SHIT IT'S REALLY KIKIYAMA AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
Someone I knew used to keep a dream diary, and I started doing that as well. I think that is the basis of the game's theme. However it is incredibly private.
YN is almost a drawing of my dreams. You have experienced them vicariously if you played.
where is the proofs
I’m curious, what is the meaning behind your name? Does Kikiyama mean anything? How did you come up with it?
It's really nice that you've showed up! I'm glad people are still giving you so much love even today, you were one of the first RPG maker games I ever played! Truly one of the best atmospheric games out there.
My local town is hosting a Video Game Design exhibition, it's a big insulation that will be around for months and it was tragic that they never knew anything about your work.
Have you been ask if about yuminikki being displayed for similar events?
My ass
I think its wonderful that you have a dream diary and that you decided to share it with us. Getting "popular" is of the very 'external world' and I think its very humble of you to not let that affect your own ideas. Good luck!
Does Madotsuki die at the end? Or does the dream finally end and she's free?
I don't think I've been asked about that, but I would feel uncomfortable if it was part of an exhibition. I think YN belongs on the internet as a niche download, it perhaps adds to the charm of it. Thank you for your interest.
Thank you.
This might sound like a weird question, but do you "like" dreams ? I used to keep a dream diary as well years ago, but at one point it felt like I was dreaming too much. I would sleep more than I should just to keep dreaming, and it took me some time to realize it was kind of taking over my life. They weren't what I'd call real memories, so it was basically like I was doing nothing of my days. I ended up burning my diary. As someone who made a full game about that theme, I'd love to know how you actually feel about it.
Assuming this is really you
Why did that man fall from the sky when I went up the steps? It’s the only question I have
Do you like Japanese society? What would you change of it.
Why didnt you make more Yume Nikki games?
Also, what do you think about the fanmade one ".flow"?
Did you have any real involvement with the Surfers Paradise Yume Nikki project? I heard they asked you to attend a book signing event for the manga and light novel, did that really happen?
What she believes to be the real world is a more external dream. She becomes one of the dwellers of the internal dream similar to "Poniko". You will meet her in the post-game update.
I believe the creative drive of everyone comes from their dreams. So I am grateful for dreams.
Flying beings that are imitating suicidal people. They are watching Madotsuki.
I don't like how taking your own life has always been a part of culture, like a virtuous and honorable act.
Scares me. I like it!
Proof, tits, or get the fuck out bitch.
Update your website or some shit
>Flying beings that are imitating suicidal people. They are watching Madotsuki.
Jesus
If it's really you, then thank you for making a really engrossing game. Years later, my thoughts still occasionally wander back to that strange dreamscape. The first time I saw the AAAAA symbol covering the screen, it creeped me out a lot.
My personal favourite fanwork is the SUBLIMINAL album which is pretty cool, I'm not sure if you've listened to it. I wonder what you think of it? It's on YouTube in case you're curious.
Why have you been very silent since 2007?
Any particular reason for the Paracas textile imagery in the game?
Hey Kiki, what did you use to make the music? Did you have any musical experience prior to the development of Yume Nikki?
>theres people on Yea Forums who never played YN
I refuse to believe this. Its not even overrating a game. YN has been a thing on Yea Forums for like over a decade now.
The creature in the White Desert, that big one with the clacking jaws, that creature wants to hurt Madotsuki, right? Just want your confirmation on that one.
I tried but got really freaked out so I stopped
There are more newfags out there than you think.
How is life treating you these days?
Would you believe it that there are people who have only started posting on this forum after a certain event in 2016?
Would you also believe that they outnumber everyone that came before them?
Kikiyama, what did you think of Yume 2kki?
I want to believe
I want to believe
Are you fine with the fact that Uboa became such a huge meme?
youtube.com
I think the rapping is a funny thing to come out of YN, but the soundscape of that album is very good. The "ambience" of the game really shows in it.
The keyboard pictured. I have made music for previous projects.
It wants to but it lacks the muscle to actually move.
I am doing better every day, so that is quite nice.
It is a very faithful fangame to the style of YN. The effects fit very well in the game.
Yes!
We all know the real kikiyama died in a japanese earthquake. Fuck off, you probably don't even know how v.9 is different from the final build. Also the real kikiyama would've never sold out and made some shitty sequel that has already been buried and forgotten.
Fuck off
Do you like Touhou?

I always thought that Yume Nikki was created through personal experience alone. That it felt so unique because it really was, because I couldn't see any inspirations taken from other works.
I want to know, is it really the case ? I won't change my opinion of the game either way, but as someone who wants to share his own world and his stories as well, I really want to know if Yume Nikki is entirely from your own mind, or if some little things here and there from stuff you like for example contributed to it. Either way your game is amazing for feeling so "it's own thing".
The FC Worldmap has some areas that are never normally visited.
Were they intended to be a part of a future update?
Truth hurts don't it faggot?
fuck off newfag
Eeeeeeeeeeeee? D-doushio...
I love the music but I'm very bad at playing.
For the most part they were my own dreams. I had a close friend who shared their dreams and I transcribed those into the game as well (such as "Lamp World"). A few of the experiences were modified to be more engaging.
For instance, the Red Maze did not have anything chasing me when I experienced it, but I added creatures to make it less boring. Thank you for asking.
The map is recycled from an older project, so it is more of a secret that there are more areas.
Are you fluent in english or are you using a translator?
Have you ever had any major game dev/someone from a major studio tell you that they enjoyed your work or get in touch with you in some way?
>I like that the game is popular, but I don't like being the creator of a popular game.
Oh.
That hurts.
I hope if it's peace you wanted, you'll find it one day.
Inspiration, I hope to make a game one day. Any tips that are not the usual?
>s-stop making sense I g-g-got people to mislead
What do you think of gobou's animations? Are they canon?
Why does every creature in the dream world ignores Madotsuki? It appears like they are fully aware of her presence but don't even bother, and some effects implies that she wants to bring attention to herself in some way, like using a flute or morphing into a bright stoplight.
I played your game and loved it, just wanted to say that.
I have been studying English since before I made YN, but I have been more serious about it since I took a break from interacting with everyone.
Kadokawa contacted me many years ago offering to translate YN. I know fans do not like the modernized game they made, but I had some hope in the skills of a larger development team. I was not involved with the process, but I apologize for disappointing many people.
gobou adds a lot of life to the game characters through animation, and I am fascinated by it.
To a lot of them, she looks like another morbid creature. They are desensitized to contact.
Did you ever turn YN into a financial success in any way, i.e. through it being on your resume?
I loved the original game and the new 3D one Steam as well.
Please release more content for the new 3D game on Steam, I'll gladly pay for it.
Is there a reason why Madotsuki sees a lot of Mayan / Aztec designs in her dreams?
what's your favorite anime?
Who is best girl?
Something like this happens to a lot of people. Don't ever think you don't deserve what you achieve because your effort was worth everything you achieved and more.
Thank you
>Someone I knew that passed away before I started development.
I hope you feel better kkiyama-san.
Is there a particular reason why you made the maps so large and sparse? Was it simply to make it hard for people to find everything in the game? Did you intend players to talk to each other online to talk about the things they found?
>doesn't answer the v.9 question
there it is faggots
Can you sell plushies of Madotsuki, Uboa, and Poniko please?
I just wanted you to know that I love the flute room song, even if it's a few seconds loop. It's beautiful
Kikiyama just wanted to say that the way you feel is very understandable, I believe the creator of Stanley Parable ( Another great game ) also suffered from the same problem, his game got too famous, and people started to expect more and more of him. I hope I'm not putting words in your mouth, but don't worry about any pressure, your game is great and part of the internet history at this point, don't be afraid of disappointing anyone, Yume Nikki is your project, so make it of what you will. I patiently wait for the next update no matter how long it takes, you do you, no need to worry. I wish you only the best, and I really do hope you are the real deal and not some troll.
I don’t believe any of this, but I want it to be real. It hurts deep down.
I thought kikiyama an heroed though? why the fuck would he post in the hellhole anyways?
how can i become as based as you?
whats your favorite effect
My heart won't be able to take it if this is really a fake, so I'll just say I love you dude.
In their culture, dreams are a sacred means of travel outside of the physical body. That is why I included it as a motif.
N.H.K. ni Yōkoso
The one that loves you back.
I did not intend for collaboration, instead I wanted players to come back to the game over the course of a few days. I did not really expect for many people to play it and form discussion about it either.
Haha, maybe! I don't know. Merchandising feels very corporate, like something Disney does. I will think about this when I have nothing left to think about.
Thank you for your understanding.
v.9 has different positions for effects, and less maps. I did not keep old versions of the game, so I can not tell you precisely everything that changed. Thank you for your interest.
It is a tie between knife and flute.
Same, but it feels too good to be true. It’s at least nice to be around some chill Yume Nikki fans
People thought that for the longest time, but then the remake came along and they needed to get his premission to make it, and so they did.
Meaning he was clearly still around.
Make a game as based as YN.
and why would he post here and not 2ch?
Is there no record of him ever posting on 2ch?
Have you played any of the fangames? If so, do you have a favorite?
Would it be possible to post some concept art we haven't seen before? I have a hard time believing this without any kind of solid proof.
We are worthy, maybe.
Can you provide us proof that you are the real deal? Like anything, really, just so we know this is real and not a faggot playing with my feelings.
La fucking mao
I've posted anonymously, nothing related to the game.
Yes, a few, but I won't name a favorite! They are all lovely.
I dont fucking now, I thought japs loved YN as much as we do, or did
I dont think so pal, especially in the current state of this board
Was the mars world and space ship a dream you really had too? What even is this guy anyway?
Would you ever consider updating anything on KikiyamaHP, do you still have access to it?
Have you been working on any games since you stopped updating?
Would you be willing to explain everything in the game? From the characters to the areas.
Don't get me wrong I love having my own interpretations but I would also love to know what it all really means.
Fire off an email and you'll get a response. It's the same address present in the game's readme.
>In their culture, dreams are a sacred means of travel outside of the physical body.
How do you know this, are you interested in history or just the culture of dreams in general?
If this is history being made right now I want to be part of it. Thank you for everything.
>a fucking walking simulator
>it's ok and a cult classic because it's jap
Yea Forums is full of faggots
Yes, the tall man and his piano were probably influenced by me recording the soundtrack. That is what I think at least.
Yes, though I want to make another site just for English fans.
I started making a sequel very briefly, but brought it back to the main game because it made more sense.
Feel free to ask about a specific detail and I will try to recall what it is about.
I am not very interested in history in general, but I did a lot of research on the symbolism of dreams during development, because it brought more meaning to what I was making. It was necessary because the game barely had any plot.
get out of here zoomer
Wow, I haven't this exact same post for literally over a decade on Yea Forums since the game came out. Glad you finally came along to say what no one else would.
>zoomer
both of you should fuck off
Fucking zoom zoom. Take off your shoes and go to the balcony right fucking now!
ZOOMER I AM BOOMER
NO ZOOM ZOOM ZOOMIES!
Back in highschool, many years ago, me and my friends used to play your game and talk about it for hours every night.
I still remember posting about it online, discussing it with people and sharing our wild theories late into the night.
It really is an amazing game filled with imagination.
Those were some good times.
Thank you for the experience, kikiyama-san.
Will we ever see NASU again? I wish the best for our little eggplant hero. Seeing Super NASU in Yume Nikki -Dream Diary- was very charming and made me very happy.
>come to thread about game knwing will get butthurt
>read about game
>become butthurt
>complain about game
indie scene wasnt inflated like it is now and walking sims werent a thing.
How does she live? Does she order all her necessities online?
Hi, i was playing your game for the first time yesterday, its pretty weird and cool, i salute you bro
>reaction video eceleb gets sticky but an actual AMA from the developer himself of Yume Nikki doesn't
The absolute state of this board.
its probly bait
Love your game. Love you. Hope all is well with you.
That’s because it’s not real, there is still no genuine proof posted yet.
Yes, NASU is a possible companion that assists with jumping.
What happens with Madotsuki in real life is a spoiler, but you will find out!
Thank you.
The best thing about it is that it's relatively peaceful and quiet and free of excessive shitposting.
Usually when a developer would show up, especially for something as big as YN, it would a circus with 100 posts made every minute.
But somehow we managed to slip under the radar.
I say we keep it that way and not alert the rest of the animals.
What media do you like? You've said that YN was inspired by your dreams, but what sorts of books, movies, etc. do you think influenced those dreams?
Do you have any drawings or concept art of Madotsuki?
My mind tells me this thread is a bait, but heart keeps believing it's not. And life is suffering.
wtf is all this shit legit? why is this thread not stickied yet?
>Yume Nikki dev
I dont think you are real, as far as we know you dont even exist. Yume Nikki is a dream made real by some cosmic anomaly
Also how you feel about other games people made in the style of Yume Nikki?
さっきNHKにようこそが一番好きなアニメだと言いましたね。窓付きと同じようにニート生活を暮らしたことありますか?
On the off chance that this is real, just wanna say I love your game it's one of the most imaginative experiences I've ever had with videogames.
imagine how awful it would be if it was
i won't even post examples, you should already understand why it should never be stickied
Do you believe in a collective unconscious?
If this gets stickied it will become shitpost central immediately.
>reaction video eceleb gets sticky
Who?
i enjoyed your game and hope you have nice dreams
Haha that’s amazing, I love NASU. I think he’s good enough for his own spinoff some day! Take care Kiki, good luck with your projects!
Not worth mentioning
This
Here’s an archive link to the last thread for other (and future) anons/lurkers to look at.
boards.fireden.net
Hmm I havent played in a while but some things I would like to know: was Uboa just a random idea or does it have a meaning?
Do all the Effects have a meaning or are they just there for a use or no reason, like the witch broom and the frog head?
Why does Madotsuki kills herself after collecting them? Also whats up with the Space ship and Masada?
thanks user
>people actually fucking think a Japanese game dev who disappeared off the internet and has never communicated in English before would come to fucking Yea Forums of all places to discuss his game and suddenly reappear and speak fluent english, despite having responded to English emails before entirely in Japanese because he doesn’t know English
Jesus Christ you guys are retarded
Stop giving this fag attention
but it's fun
maybe if you weren't a jaded zoomer you'd know that fun things are fun
>giving attentionwhores pretending to be someone who’s been missing for years is fun
go back to /x/ if you wanna roleplay
I’m going to cry
In 10 years someone can't learn english? The game was originally posted on 2chan if I'm not mistaken, so him coming on Yea Forums isn't that crazy. I'm not saying it's real (an update of the game with what he describes would prove that), but it's not that improbable.
Cry more.
What I find hard to believe is that any dev would ever come make threads here when faggots like you exist. Real or fake, why do you even care anyway.
Hey man, if its really you i want to say i really loved your game eve since i played it a long time ago.
If you do make an update to the game, do you plan on adding new worlds or effects or are you just making small changes to the existing ones?
You're gonna feel like absolute shit in the next few days
Tell us more about this super duper update you are talking about, how long it's gonna take? One year from now on? Two? Four? It's 50% done? 70%? Can you at least post ONE sprite work or maybe map? Picking the developer name and and putting the email together dosen't mean shit.
learning English is mandatory in Japanese schools, so if he didn’t learn enough to write an email in 2011 he probably didn’t care enough to learn it on his own by now. Also there’s been hundreds of kikiyama impersonators over the years, seeing these people pull the same tricks over and over again gets old fast

I am not sure what to believe in, but I know we can never understand the full scope of what is going on in our dreams. However, this is a theme I am exploring.
I have talked about the purpose of "Uboa" earlier in the thread, but the design of "Uboa" was inspired by the appearance of nuns.
The effects were the result of wondering how to implement RPG skills in a dream-like way, so most of them are very absurd or useless.
Madotsuki kills herself out of desperation.
Thank you for asking!
I am making an expansion that adds a post-game, about the same size of the original story, though I would like to make it even larger. We will see! It will include more effects, but there is only one new world. I think this will make more sense when you can see it.
How old is she?
just because you’re a zoomer who found out about Yume Nikki last week and haven’t seen the hundreds of kikiyama impersonators doesn’t mean I haven’t either. This fish has done nothing to prove he’s kikiyama and has not exactly been convincing with his posts either.
Are you really the developer of YN? Man, you made a piece of internet history. Good job.
We’re sorry, we just want this to be real
Now, my eyelids are trying to stay closed. I am very tired from staying awake and being anxious about making this thread. Thank you all so much for your continued support. This interaction has been very wonderful.
I have many years worth of dreams documented and ready for inspiration of the next update. You will not be disappointed.
But for now, it is time to go back to sleep. Thank you. Goodnight.
Do you ever feel limited by RPGmaker? Were there any ideas that you had for the game that couldn't be realized because of the engine?
Who cares?
Hey man thanks for answering!
Heres hoping you upload the game or create more so this series can become popular again.
Goodnight
>was about to ask something
>kikiyama goes to sleep
fuck
>gets called out for being a fucking retard
>”w-who cares??”
goodnight mr Kikiyama
Goodnight Asian man.
Have a good night and thanks again for everything
sleep tight based chinaman
Well fuck, guess I will have to get into YN again.
The last I played was that one Yea Forums was working on, and that 3D version which I played just a bit and never touched again, but now I miss the original.
Goodnight, thank you for everything. You’re welcome here anytime!
will the new yumenikki feature loli Madotsuki or an aged hag
Lovely Sweet Dreams, Mr.Kikiyama.
good night
Very cute. Sleep well!
really hope this is real
Sleep tight
>game is getting updated
I legit thought the original game was dead and buried.
This is a pleasant surprise. Playing Yume Nikki was some of the comfiest times I had with a game.
>come into thread to ask question
>see this
I can’t wait to see you get BTFO’d when the game updates.
Arent all the girls kinda lolis?
I mean to me they are all 14yo.
But I guess a even younger girl would be cool, with more child related dreams.
Though its kinda opposite of the fangame I wanna make, which I would focus more on mature stuff.
Don't worry, your question was probably stupid and not worth answering anyway,
make it for linux you fucking stupid gook
Very likely fake; doesn't change the fact I'm redownloading it right now.
will there be hypnosis scenes in the new game
What if it really was a faker and now he's laughing?
hot
Not gonna happen dude. I’ve seen dozens of more convincing fake kikiyamas than this guy.
>I will post pictures from the development of YUMENIKKI as well
He didn't post anything though.
>Goodnight.
But Is 8 am in Japan.
YN dev and .flow dev should team up and make the ultimate Yume game.
It’s late over there, probably didn’t have time.
Isn't it 8am in Japan? Why aren't you sleeping?
This. It's clearly fake. As if kikiyama will even speak to us, 4chanian savages.
Its night in America.
Also, I also go to sleep 8~10am so at least to me thats not weird.
Sleep Thight
I don't like your game but you seem like a Grade-A Lad. Keep it up!
user asks for proof on this so called "Update" and the gook is surprisingly sleepy now and doesn't even post one fuckin sprite. I also wanted this to be real but this shit is just plain insulting, and people still believe in this.
Can’t anybody just edit the original game? You could fake that too probably.
Wch 2hu wud u fug
Whoever this is put in too little effort
No it's not.
>yfw that just fucking happened
Looks real to me
Pretty sure it was fake but the thread was heartwarming, thank you anons
keep dreaming
learn japanese dweeb
Is he supposed to say "Good morning" when going to sleep?
i love YN
Alright faggots, if its fake or not who cares.
Its too late for these "its fake" posts now.
did the artist made more of this
>what is a night owl for 500
WHAAAAAAAAAT? wow look at this funy gay porn intro video LOL youtube.com
what are my options for playing this on handheld
Quit spamming, faggot.
just recently started playing your game, i really like the atmosphere and how it has become a big part of internet culture, but i have a question; how long did it took to finish this game? you used RPGMaker but it seems like you didn't used a lot of its elements, did you programmed a lot ? Anyway thank you for your game, it's very inspiring and soulfull
forgot obligatory unrelated image so people notice my comment
Damn, I missed this thread, and the last one.
Incredible.
Yes, this is a feature I am working on.
It will be fully animated in 3D.
In fact, I have almost fully implemented this scene.
Here is a preview, featuring the new main character:
what was with the long silence? a lot of people thought you died.
Somebody should email him.
Very nice, I made this hours ago knowing you would add something like this and with the latest character leak, it's pretty scary!
Your not funny
this post will get lost, but i speak regularly with the creator and she hates you fucking retards with a passion and thinks the fanbase is autistic
Same. Never played this game but I'm glad the developer is doing this.
are you japanese?
fineas and pherb: hey guise lets build a scooter
I also speak with them and they say (You) are the real retard
i forget
please understand
No, I come from Iraq. This is a common misconception, but Iraq is in fact not Japan.
i also speak with them
they is me
i want some ice cream (I.W.S.I.C.)
this is why it's best the thread wasn't pinned
my mistake, I thought this was "9GAG"
I meant to do these posts there. I do not like this site for having the pictures of the naked banana.
Hello, I saw you the last time you were on Yea Forums, in that YN thread. I replied to you then saying you were an inspiration, and I just wanted to say that again. Thank you for making this game.
If it is really you, and you are really working on a big update to the game, I am very much looking forward to it. In my honest opinion, Yume Nikki is up there with Alice in Wonderland in terms of classic, timeless surrealistic fiction content.
I have decided to make a sequel Yume Nikki 2.
This time however it will be a movie.
this reminds me! I am releasing new game, "CGI Bowling Pin Dance-Dance", about the Mr. Bowling Pin you see when you get a strike at bowling alley
the story is inspired by Hot Wheelz: AcceleRacers
Guys I am the REAL kikiyamo and the update will feature loli scat porn as a little bonus from me ;)
>Wheelz
Wheels
I have made typing error. Please forgive me.
Got to love summer... the thread was good while it lasted.
actually here in Bhina it is Winter. God Bless "everyone open their freezer doors to combat global warming" day
>scat
pre order cancelled
how long did it took to finish the game? are you a good programmer?
After nine years in development, hopefully, it'll have been worth the wait.
I made it in one night in between fapping sessions with one hand.
The homeless man who lives between my walls whispered to me the concepts of the game
It was just up to me to interpret them
>There are more newfags out there than you think.
I've been here for ten years and I've never played it
I was never really one to play these types of games, never liked doing story heavy games on pc, though I like them on ds/3ds since then I can play it while I'm taking a fat ogre shit or a bath
Thank you for one of the most memorable experiences with games I've had.
Yes, thank you.
The update is coming, but first I will need a small donation to my account and a nude picture of you.
Like someone else said before even it's a fake i just want to let you know i really enjoyed the game even if it was unfinished. It was a great experience to play it and not many games make me feel that way after ending them even now (8 bit old gamer here).
I did not actually make it, it is actually the original print of The Day The Clown Cried in its entirety, as it was originally presented as.
>didn't respond after he answered you
kinda yikes
I would like to elaborate that the nude photo must be of someone whose name is "you", not of you the poster. It is for a practical joke I plan to play on someone.
heehee look at this funny image I found
Is this an actual AMA?
What proof is offered that this isn't just someone pretending?
it already ended
I need Scissors! 61!
he posted a beta version of the yume nikki update that has additional post game content in the previous thread
it ended here
If it is you, thanks for making the game. Have a good night over there.
Hi there, I just wanted to say thank you very much for your game and the influence its had on me to explore RPG maker games in general and other experimental things people put out there, especially by those heavily inspired by your work. I found a strange of joy in these games and the fascination with its fanbase and all the discussion its brought over the years.
prove it is you. draw a pixel-perfect recreation of heueheueyeuuejsosheybeudsbbabsbf
It is a bit rough, but here is my drawing.
I hope this is enough to serve as proof.
this has been a very nice thread
even if it's bullshit, just to see people talking about yume nikki again
Wait, Kikiyama is alive?
he approved the manga and that one other game
