My, my ... it would appear that the summer is heating up with projects. As I feel that I am beginning to close in on chapter zero of my newest project, I'll lay down some tidbits of information and some screen shots. This game will be an eclectic mix of a parody, scripting laboratory and artistic experiment as no tilesets will be used in the creation of the game.
[ "What's with the name?" ]
Since I began my other project, 'Somnolence', I always found myself unable to keep excited and on task about putting Yume Nikki fan game. I came to the conclusion that I disliked trying to keep the project in a 'serious' mindset and always began to deviate into the light-hearted realm.
Over the course of the last few months I've been exploring new ideas to make the game as fun to play as it was to create. What I decided on was building a parody fan game that poked fun at the very series that I liked.
I came up with the name 'Yume Quikki' to emphasize the fact that I wanted the game short, but detailed, fun and humorous ... or at the very least, silly with a slight de-emphasis on graphics. I figured that the Japanese can't have all of the fun with puns on the name of the original.
< Game Story >
The dream world has seen a huge rise in violence against its denizens over the past seven years and finally the cries for more security measures has been answered. In an attempt to try and curb the blatant assaults upon the population at large (and occasionally small), the Majestic Dream Authority have created a prison to lock away offenders within the vast White Desert. This compound is kept secure by hundreds of Dave Spectors and occasionally Officer Takofuusen for aerial reconnaissance or just whenever it feels like floating around.
Already the program has been highly successful and the dream bullying has begun to decrease, although the prisoners are now beginning to secretly carve out a dream underworld. Soon someone will need to lead these brutal ruffians, but for now the seat of a Dream Godfather goes unfilled.
You begin play as Jeslyn, an eighteen year old who works at Rodney's Door-porium selling doors. However, this small town job tends to get quite boring and she often naps or daydreams, taking out her boredom upon the people of the dream world. She could not have known that she would be the target of an undercover sting operation by the MDA, causing her to enter a trapped door to follow her intended prey only to be funneled into the White Desert prison.
Since the special prison nullifies the use Effects, Jeslyn can no longer wake up nor run away; she is trapped until she can find a way out.
< Current Features >
= Game =
- Pseudo-3D Areas
- Small Areas
- As nearly all Effects are nullified and banned within the compound, less powerful Attire and Curio (Equipment and Items) are used by the inmates. This is a nod to some fan games which leave in the Equip and Items menu items.
- Unique Challenges to Overcome to Gain Items/Equipment or Effects
- Some Attire and Curio are purchasable from vending machines. The currency will be how many steps you have taken. Steps will decrease after you spend them.
= System =
- Portable (No RTP Required)
- Scalable Window (640x480, 800x600, 1024x768)
< Currently Looking For ... >
- Humorous ideas or things to poke fun at. I already have several things laid out, although I have a one-track mind when I get into doing graphics and scripting and so ideas to get my gears turning would be great.
- Voice-over for the main menu.
