Yeah so I'll go on. This is the only sprite sheet I've fully finished. I'll probably tweak it or something later.

Anyways, I originally decided on one character only, which is Scarlett (the one in the pic), but I decided to add Mai shortly after. They'll have separate dream worlds and different effects. I'm thinking of making 20-30 effects in all.

Bump cause it looks like it might have potential.

Sounds interesting. Nice spritesheet.

yayay finished one of mai's sprite sheets :D
i've done only a little bit on rooms and such, gotta work on that big time for now.

how do I open nico nico videos by changing something in the URL again?

this... use it

I wonder if anyone thought it was real.
I mean, just look at the right picture. You can even see Uro.

>>4526
Oni said something about using "nicozon.net" instead of mmcafe, but I guess that's fine.

Uh... my fan game character's name ends with "Tuki" and he's a boy...
His name means "Wolf Moon" which is obvious if you were to play it.
I agree, there is a lot of "Tsuki's" in fan games, but I figure eventually people will run out of names that can end with "tsuki"...

OP has a point, but I feel that the -tsuki thing is merely to show endearment to the game they are making their own game in honor of.

It's also like the close-eyed thing. I just sort of seems like a norm, y'know?

However, I would still encourage people to challenge themselves creatively in their endeavors. Fangames don't have to be just like the source material. It can be completely different (well... maybe not too different, but pretty different, at least)

Rambling. I am tired and I am rambling :S

>I've noticed most Nikkiades (as I've come to affectionally refer to any Yume Nikki-like games... maybe I finally coined a term?)

I usually say 'hasei', that means 'derivation'. They use 'Yume Nikki Hasei' in Pixiv for the fangames.

>Sabitsuki actually means 'covered in rust', it has no relation to the moon whatsoever

Every name has a meaning. Usotsuki is 'liar', Urotsuki is 'wander'. Etc.

Also, Jose and Kazaguruma from Kudaranu mousou no / ridiculous hallucinations / crap delusion.
Aya from Hallucigenia.
Kazenori from Solitude. We actually thought about using -tsuki on his name tho.

The 'tsuki' thing is more like a homage to the original game. Like most fangames use edits from Madotsuki's sprites, or most have closed eyes, etc. I don't see it as a problem, and it actually makes it easier for me to relate the characters.

Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

>Also, names don't have to be meaningful. Madotsuki didn't mean anything other than the fact she has a 'window attached' to her shirt, did it?

That's up to the player to decide, really.

Addictsuki.

thx bro

the walls are still from the rpg maker xp rtp thing, and after I make my own I'll fix the bed and table. Im just too tired to bother with it tonight. Blah.

I like the idea. PLus, I like the way you sprite.
I would be very interested in seeing you develop this :3

I know there is a Chiritsuki, but I don't think there is a Chitsuki.

I kinda have his room finished now. and this angel dude who gives the Angel effect, I guess.. Still unsure how this game's gonna end up. I could use some idea people...

If you want to discuss this game via IM, you can get my IM info from my dA here: http://yowesephth.deviantart.com/

(Just offering because, sometimes, private discussions are better for keeping the mystique of a game alive.)

I am sure if we talked, I could help you come up with a few ideas.

There are a few, but they might be a bit complicated (music programs tend to be)

You have Famitracker, for nintendo like music
This one is pretty simple, but loops tend to click unless you edit them.

Anvil Studio, for Midi files (I wouldn't reccomend midis, as they tend not to sound very good.)

SFXR, for sound effects (Generates oldschool arcade sound effect)

If you can find something to convert XM files to MP3/wav, you can use tracker programs (such as milkytracker) (XM files are like Midis on steroids, and are actually good. If converted to MP3, you can have relatively easy to make music pretty quick)

And, for sound/song editing, get Audacity. It's the general purpose thing for audio editing.

Famitracker for the NES sounds (As Yowwie said)

MadTracker is also a good program to use. Various samples and VSTs to get the desired atmosphere for a certain area.

Also FastTracker

Fruity Loops or FL Studio to make once again BGM for desired atmosphere.

And Acoustica Mixcraft is a good one, though it uses pre-recorded sounds, you have to purchase the full version to record and add new sounds.

I just make shit up as i go along. That's why any project i start never gets finished.

One of my biggest flaws is that I kind of make up a plot for EVERYTHING

Of course most fgs/surreal games/whatever dont have a plot, mine does.

Most of my shit just kind of relates to the fact, well, Jade's a hostage. I get some of my ideas from a lot of the dreams I've had. Such as the wing effect I mentioned, that shit really happened to me in a Harry Potter-esque Academy. Yeah man.

Coughcough well anyway I'm using my own mind as a reference soooooo yeah

tl;dr My own subconcious is my inspiration. Also childhood and the fact I just see fucked stories in general.

/BAD EXPLANATION

>>4237
Plot isn't bad. Yes, YN didn't have a plot, but that doesn't mean all fangames shouldn't.
Especially with yours, yours seems like it should be relatively plot heavy and quite dramatic!

Almost all the ideas for my game are inspired by my own dreams. Sometimes I just start randomly doodling and I get really awesome ideas from my doodles.
As for the story I make it up as I go along ( yeah I know that is a horrible way to make a story).
As for chip/title sets I work on separate pieces.

Bump-an

Still there, OP? Any progress?

Hope this didn't fizzle. ;__;

>>4032
I'm still here. This is probably going to be on hiatus or I might be done alltogether. I have less than a year before I graduate so I need to start putting together a demo reel and it can't be all fanworks or anything lol. So I gotta start working on original characters etc. I need to get out of fanworks and focus on original ideas in general. I might revisit this in the future but it's likely I'll start from scratch and make a cute little game in Unity or something instead. May even do something with completely original ideas instead of cloning Yume Nikki. I have been doing practically nothing but fanart/fanworks for years, so I hope you guys understand and will support my endeavor to rediscover my own creativity!

>>4111
Ah, that's a shame. But completely understandable, OP. Good luck. :D I do look forward to a tentative return with whatever you plan to bring us in the future. :3

Probably the greatest game of all /fg/
Too bad I don't know Russian. What are they talking about?

Maybe, avtor translate this someday...
If you interest, I can translate for you some dialogues...

>>4133
That would be nice, thanks.

>>4133
"Avtor"? Как ты переводить-то собрался с такими познаниями?
