Hey, /fg/!

I'm gonna be working on a Yume Nikki-inspired game soon. It's not quite a fangame, but it will have heavy inspiration from YN and plenty of little references and such. I'm still working on the plot, but here's what I got so far.

The main character (LET'S CALL HIM X) wakes up in an operation room. There are several doctors standing around him commenting on how the operation was a success, though it isn't made clear quite what happened - then X is given anesthesia and falls asleep again.

X wakes once more. He's in another hospital bed, with a nurse arranging the room. It is explained to him that he signed up for a volunteer project in the psych ward - exploring people's minds to help solve their psychological traumas. However, his own mind and memories had to be surgically "wiped" so his memories didn't bleed through into others' minds. With this understood, X goes on a magical adventure through some very, very, VERY twisted people's minds with his trusty totallynotinspiredbytoriningen bird lady sidekick.

However, as their exploring and hospital work goes on, X begins to enter the minds of people that apparently KNEW him. And he begins to realize, "Hey, maybe I didn't voluntarily sign up for this..."

There's more to it, but I'll leave it at that ;D

I'm looking for some help, though - people who are willing to sprite and come up with worlds and such. I'll probably make a wiki and a forum sometime soon. I also have plenty of experience with the RPGmaker 2003 (I coded a school project with it!) so I'll take care of most of the coding...scripting, on the other hand, will be an issue.

So, I have two main problems: no name, and I need people! Who's willing to sign up? I'm looking for spriters, concept artists, scripters (scripting = the one thing I cannot do) and plot...um...writers? Yeah, plot writers - I got a lotta plot down, but I could use some more help.

Helpers? Give me your email address or drop me a note at lufia83@yahoo.com . And name ideas, anyone? I need a name before I can make a forum!

Pictured: main character and birdlady, who I am very, very tempted to name Tori. Not as a reference to the Toriningen or anything. >> << >>

she looks more reptilian than bird-like, maybe because of the coloring.

This I have been told before. It was my best effort at shading feathers. Ah, well.

UPDATES! Here are Markus' sprites, crappy edits of Mado's. I've decided to make this a full fangame sequel to Yume Nikki: there will be plenty of references to Mado's past and such. There'll be lots of plot and dialouge, and some pretty pictures.

I think Kikiyama's going to kill me in my sleep.

Working on chipsets and stuff right now. I'll post some more sprites tomorrow when I have more to SHOW people.

One more thing:

Sketch dump! Some doodles of creatures and effects - I'm trying WAY too hard on the creepy for some of the monsters, but I just got bored. They're not actually supposed to scare you. On the other hand, if they DO...

Also, got a name for the game: Psychosis. A friend of mine suggested it. I'd edit the first post, but my computer didn't store the password and I didn't bother to assign one. D'oh.

The way dreams are explored, collecting effects, and other dream sciences will be explained throughout the game. Trust me, this won't be another person-exploring-a-dream-for-no-reason-and-collects-effects game.

Still looking for help if anyone's willing to offer it. I'll have a forum and a wiki up soon!

That's a good name for the game

>> No.1572   [Delete]   [Edit]

Sounds a bit like Psychonauts.

I could provide some concept art, if you'd like.
Oh, and 'tori' is japanese for bird, if that helps with the bird-girl's name.

Thanks :D

>>1572

Yeah, I realized this when I was first coming up with the concept. I think to make it stand out a little more I'll separate the minds into a few parts - memories and subconscious would be the first two, then their actual dream would be the third - a combination of the others.

Actually, I WAS going to name her Tori originally as a reference to the Toriningen...until my brother pointed out that Tori was bird in Japanese, which he is taking lessons on. I hate the purposefully-naming-characters-in-another-language clique, so thanks, but no thanks. P:

I'm working on a forum as I type - I'll edit this with the link in just a second. If you wanna work on concept art, check it out when I do. =D

Sorry - kinda died after I started working on the forum. Here's the link, anyway. http://psychosis.freeforums.org/index.php

Also, teaser art. I'm dead serious Kikiyama's hating on me somewhere :C
