>>3010 I love that idea! Better yet, it should be a door to some of the more creepy places in the game. Probably won't have an effect in it.

How about an electric world? With all the + and - stuff, batteries, electric circuits, etc. It could have the spark effect, which, used on specific object, would set them on fire~

xDD Ahh yes!! No effect. That would be like "D: " but awesome at the same time.

FFFF SPARK EFFECT. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. That is. That. That is amazing. I am totally adding that. You are a wizard. writes down

I was also talking to other people just to see what people get scared of etc and I was thinking about adding a whole ton of windows to one area, or maybe even making a Window World. A lot of people, it seems, view windows as something scary because they're paranoid people will look in. Someone else suggested that looking in on the windows could perhaps show pictures of things Chiritsuki could have done, whether they be just things in her dreams or whatev. Or just creepy drawings like in the sewer area of YN. xD

I think I saw it in Oni's thread, which made me feel a little disappoint 'cause I don't want to do the same things as other people, but I was planning on maybe a school world too. OTL

Maybe like a locker maze, and there could be creepy things written on all of the chalkboards for all of the classrooms you enter. DUNNO. But I should write more stuff down.

But that Electric World is definitely a must, man.

>>3044

Saw what in my thread, the window thing? Or the school world? Because if it's the school world it's been used before at least once. And the window thing in my game is just for the real world only, since I have secret plans for the nexus being TOTALLY different in the dreamworld. I'll talk about the dream room and the real room when I update my thread... as soon as I have everything written down in WordPad.

Yay~ More ideas of mine.
The school idea has also been done in an actual game, Yume Nisshi. The game's pretty small too so yeah...
I approve of the window world/classroom variant. I think that at least 1 of the windows should have somthing looking at Chiritsuki. It would be really cool.
One of the windows should also be a portal somewhere, to encourage people to actually look around for it.
That's about it for ideas for now.
Well, I have another idea, but it's really hard to pull off. As a person with blood pressure problems, every time I get up, well...It's basically night vision (you can see pixels in the dark if you look at a dark spot, since our night vision isn't very good) with colours in it. So maybe we can work with that.
...Though I feel this is kind of hard to work with.

Window world with creepy people peering in? Hmm...

>>3049
I thought that happens to everyone if they suddenly stand up after sitting for a long time. I also had the pleasure of nearly fainting from heat exhaustion and it's the same feeling, so maybe that could be an idea, like an area that's really hot so random dark spots appear in your vision. It might be interesting to have it so there's an area that's really hot where this phenomenon occurs, but it doesn't do anything until you get to a key area, where if you don't have the right effect equipped, you faint and appear back a little, like with the bar in Yume 2kki.

Then again, I think it'd be kind of annoying if every effect was used to solve some kind of impassable area, just because there'd be less charm to the effects and more purpose. I mean the feeling I got from the original Yume Nikki was that the effects are just there and do random things, and the fact that they might be helpful was just a side effect.

Also, I just noticed but the Nun effect you were talking about before is a bit like the Pyramid Head effect from Yume Nisshi, but that only pacified a certain set of enemies.

As for random world ideas, how about something like a giant desk? Like you're shrunk down and tossed onto someone's insanely cluttered desk. I mean looking at my desk right now, it's absurdly messy and could be pretty awesome to navigate, yeah? Maybe you could add a pencil effect there which makes you an outline and the effect ability would be to leave marks or something. But I vaguely remember the Uboachan project having a marker or graffiti effect that did almost the same thing...

You'd probably also want a speed boost effect, and by now most wheeled contraptions are probably getting old, so how about hallucinogenic drugs or something? Or well, I dunno, become pure electricity?

Ohh, for a wheeled contraption I planned on having a small scooter/moped type thing with perhaps a little light in the front, though the light wouldn't do anything. But if that seems too lame, I could totally opt for running shoes. The shoes could change color, and the speed could be x2 or x3 or four or whatever seemed to be a good speed boost. xD

I've never heard of Yume Nisshi and have only vaguely heard of Hallucingenia. ;u; I'm not trying to copy, le sob. ;o;

AAAAND. I have another idea. A loaf of bread could be an effect, and drop noticeable crumbs as markers. /Hansel and Gretel failure

True true... I tried to make a few cosmetic effects, such as the Buns and even Disguise didn't have a purpose (because Nun already would have fulfilled its purpose)

Hmmm, that is kind of a weird idea. Maybe if there's a transition from an all white room to an all black room, pixelated colors could appear.

Ohhh jeez! A desk probably located in a school world would be really aggravating. My desk is horrible too. > _ <U And Oni, it looked like you had "Academy World" going on, so I didn't want to like... ;o; yeah, but I think I still might go on with the School World because I have other ideas, and yes. . u .

Aaaaand, I came up with a few more characters, though I only drew one of them and haven't scanned him yet. The first is a somewhat-teenage looking boy without arms and has a white or black blindfold over his eyes, has his face has been horribly burned. I had this idea where he should have his face in a corner of an empty classroom, but have all of these eyes looking at him on a chalkboard. You could get him to follow you a bit if you pulled out the axe.

I also had another idea for an enemy event thingie...thing. In Norse mythology, there is a dream demon called a "mara" or sometimes "mare". Though in mythology their appearance/etc changes, but I planned on this mara to be a girl with long hair, though I'm not sure of which color, and as a random event thing that could happen ANYWHERE, everytime Chiri goes through a tunnel or something other than an obvious door to another room, there's a chance that Mara could start following her. Now Mara doesn't really do anything to Chiri, she just follows her. Very closely. I want Mara to look pretty creepy, but I don't want to use features that have been wayy overused, such as really long black hair that covers the face. :I

Also, keeping the window looking in idea.

Well with the Academy World it's not REALLY a school. It's got like a Greek feel to it. It's almost not even a school... Derp derp oh well you're still having a school world. Remember it's your game. You can do whateeeeever you want. /spongebobimaginationhands

TRUE, TRUE, THAT IT IS.
But I'm a really really incisive person and...yeah, I have a lot of ideas, but whether I should use them or not is widely conflicted with myself before I say anything. xD

And Greeks are bamf.

: D Yeahww!
I don't have a room sprited yet, but my friend made me a walking cycle.
/lame
THERE IS PROGRESS.

Oh, and another friend helped me come up with adding a Childhood World, because seriously some fucked up things happen when we're children. :'c

I'm bumping this, since:

1. My ideas are in it.
2. I have a new idea!

Ok, so it goes like this. Ever since I was a child, I had these dreams where...I was kind of roaming through a street-like place, where everything looked like chrome, sort of. I mean, the jelly, weird kind of chrome. The backdrop was kind of grey too. And then...Well, I get to watch some cape of the chrome thing expanding, like it's exploding.
I also had these dreams with basically everything turning round. Like those really big ballons with rice inside them. People, landscape (like a whole floor seperated from everything and turning round in a building. Crazy shit) etc.
So...Any way we could work with that?
Also, please tell me we're still on this.

YES, YES, YES. I'm still working on this. I've come up with two characters (or at least drawn them) though I think I've already talked about them briefly

The girl is Mara, I guess this game's (which I have decided on naming Drifter ) Uboa. I know she's not as scary, but she follows you around constantly, and will laugh if you're motionless for a short period of time.

I had a vague idea for like a City World, which I could change to Chrome World or keep as City World because I had envisioned a horrible sky-scraper maze. ;v;

I'll have to check up on my friend who's doing the spriting for me.

Includes:
regular Chiritsuki.
Chiritsuki with Buns equipped

and those NPCs that are Drifter's version of the Toriningen.

>>3203 I forgot to mention that in the...Orb at the end, there was a city. It's probably where I've been at first, but it seems that in the dream I was pretty short, and never looked up. So use that~
>>3204 Oh, that's cool! By the way, the Drifters float, righ? Just, you know, hover a little above the ground?
Even better, make them get up to float when they see you (sprite change~) and then...Well, you're fucked! XD

0:
Sure sure!! I'll see what I can do. Maybe the giant orb thing could teleport you to a different place.

Drifter is the name that I'm going to call the game, but for some reason, calling those things drifters as well seems fitting. xD Yes, I intended for them to float, at least the hostile ones. I sort of wanted them just to sit in areas, rather motionlessly, but if you got too close they'd open up their eye and start floating around and like following you and stuff. o:

Should there be a friendly drifter? You know, one that follows you, doesn't teleport you and occasionally stop other drifters? (hard to find, only does it once, for balancing) You'll need him for the next area I have in mind, though it's still in the work, so I'll keep it to myself for now.

Last edited 10/06/09(Wed)12:08.

New Area: Drifter Palace: Okay, so this area is an Egyptian style + Roman and Hebrew letters on everything, it has a really big drifter statue, and a room which you'll need the friendly drifter for, which lets you reach a small statue of a drifter, which gives you the drifter effect. You can't really hide from them, but you can get into a Drifter bar later on XD
You'll need the spark effect to get the Elevator working though.
God Speed.
FUCKING CLOWNS.

@ n @ Sorry I haven't replied in a while.
School is killing me. Fgsfds, finals.

A drifter effect? xD Sounds interesting. And a drifter bar? Lolwut.

I hadn't intended for calling those floaty guys drifters but it seems to fit them. xDDD They float, anyway~

But yes, a friendly drifter would make sense, though to signify he's different, maybe he should be more of a tan color. o: And I love the Egyptian-thing idea. I recently had to do a shitlode of research on Egypt, so I'm all up for that.

I was also thinking of a circus world sort of thing, or maybe more like a carnival world because I really wanted a ferris wheel. xDD For some reason. I'm not even sure myself. Ohh, and I came up with another character.

. u .U I should probably stop, but it's really fun.

I'll post her later since it seems disabled n stuff 'cause it's over 100-something kb. |D

You could have a ferris wheel ANYWHERE you want. It can be very Random like some of the stuff in other fangames are, or it could make sense.
LETS MAKE A DISNEYWORLD fgsfds
EDIT: WTF how the hell did it lose my name?!

Last edited 10/06/11(Fri)11:22.

I am not sure.
BUT FUCKING FERRIS WHEELS. I love those things. I like, used to get a Season Pass to Disney World every year for like 6 years and I live in Oregon. xDD I go there A LOT.

but lol dunno.
I kind of want to make the ferris wheel really random.

Ohhh, I've pretty much finished deciding what all of the 25 effects would be (might change get rid of or add because of the drifter effect). Should I post the list or keep it a secret?

>>3302 "FUCKING FERRIS WHEEL" is the new FUCKING CLOWNS.
>>3335 Well, PM it to me somewhere somehow so I can play with it :P Or you could just post it here. Most other fangames didn't hide their effects intentions and actual effects.
Also, I decided you need the Backwards effect for the Pyramid world, since when you reach it, it's a Cyberpunk-ish place, with...You know, all black and gray "threads" of PCB. Then you find some...Walker or something, and then it turns to the Egyptian thing we wanted. (if you try getting in before using the Backwards effect, the door's locked with all sorts of high tech mechanism. When it's back to the past, the door just needs to be opened.

Well then, I guess there probably won't be any more work on this. If there is, I'd sure be happy, but I can't say I haven't seen it coming.
I advise others to use ideas from this, as I do believe some of them are good (mostly not mine).
Anyway, Bump.
EDIT: By the way, if anyone's willing to take sprite work, I can do the RPG maker work.

Finals, cry cry cry.

HERE'S MAH LIST.

DUNNO WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE DRIFTER EFFECT. I can get rid of some dumb effects. Yeahwwwww. I keep coming up with more characters. "OTL

Ho yes~!
I can probably get RPG Maker to work if someone else does the Chipsets and those sorts of things. As a person with programming knogledge (at least a little), RPG Maker is just programming with words and not code phrases.
EDIT: Now as for the effect list...
Some of them are pretty good. We might need to switch some of them for some effects that do stuff, and maybe change scooter to something else (I'll think of something, don't worry). But they're not too bad.
EDIT: Scooter replacement possibility: A FLYING RUG. Guess where, out of the areas I had in mind, we get it.

Last edited 10/06/16(Wed)01:42.

Just drew this a few minutes ago.

;o; Anon, I love you. Mara looks so creepy, it's amazing.

Ohh really? Awesome!! :3
And a Flying Carpet sounds so amazing. ; 7 ;
Definitely adding that over a scooter.

I'll go talk to my spriter about getting a full walking set for the effects I know will be in the game. Thanks for all of your help!! ;u;

Who me? I just want to have another game out there, for the guys at pixiv to make fanart for. :P
Also, the Anon's drawing is amazing. If we have a secret image gallery or something, I'd really like this to be in.
So which RPG Maker should we make this with? I'd happily use VX since I use Vista and well, it's supposedly easier to work with, but I don't mind using whatever. (also, is this position already taken?)

I thank everyone who has contributed thus far. |D

Seeing as I have pretty much zero knowledge with RPG makers, feel free to use what you feel is best. I use Vista too. There was someone who was offering to help, but I kind of got out of touch with them, so if you're up to it, by all means. ^ ^

>>3541
Is it just me, or does the head of that thing look like the Demon Crown form Cave Story?

>>3770

Artist of the picture here. Funny, I never played Cave story.

More fanart, sorry. Feeling lazy and it's midnight.

Edit: Lack of sleep messing up my ability to draw, dangit.

Oh. |D I've drawn Chiri with her eyes open, and they're sort of a pale icy blue. IDK WHY. I just did.

;u; It's awright anon, it's beautiful and I love it~

I has never played Cave Story.
. n .
Any coincidences are completely coincidental.

Have I shown you guys the characters I've sort of devised? I don't wanna like flood the people if they don't want them... :/ Ya no.

But the characters I've come up with--in total ( though they hardly look creepy ) are:

> Chiritsuki
> Mara
> Bookshelf
> Bookcase
> Fran
> Jesten/Viktor/Jestor ( I cannot decide on what to call him )

Tell me if anyone's interested in them. @ u @b
Orrrr you could just look at my dA.

I don't know what it is about these... but I LOVE them<3

Any screenshots?

Of the game in progress?
Uhhh. "OTL No. SOBBBB. Don't worry, |D I'll try to get off of my lazy ass and get stuff done!!!

Although... > u > I don't think I've mentioned it yet, but this Friday I'm leaving for Norway and Sweden and I'll be gone two weeks. :'D

"OTL I'll get stuff done, I swear!!

I drew Mara. < U > Does she look creepy? She's fun to draw. "OTL

>>3811

>>3811 HOLY FUCK. That's:

1. Was surprising.
2. AWESOME.

MOAR IDEAS!!
So, remember the industrial -> Ancient temple place?
I want it to have a...Drifter monk or something. I DEMAND it happens. (he looks like some kind of pope in the middle ages with moar gold on him)
Also, blinking world. It just blinks in and out of existance every once in a while. It has the Contact Lense effect, which makes Chiri's eyes open.
Not my best, but yeah...

So wait, wait. Drifter effect or is it a Drifter monk now? xDD

HNNN. A contact lense effect would be interesting.
o: Maybe like, make the horizontal lines turn vertical because there isn't much space to work with. "OTL

I had this like, one idea where after walking into/interacting with someone that teleported you somewhere, another door/whatev would appear in the nexus, but only then. Like, the world itself would be difficult to get to other than by means of being teleported from another world. |D /dumb

I think I should sketch Chiri's bedroom. "OTL How have I not done that yet.

OH YEAH. I drew Chiri's room. (finally)

I was too much of a lazy faggot to color it, but I'll explain!! The room would be in like shades of grey and earth brown. : D

The Bathroom:
I was tired of the balconies. "OTL So instead I added a bathroom. You could get inside the tub, run the water in the sink, or flush the toilet, but that's it.

It seems kind of ridiculous but I kind of wanted a time telling feature for my dumb fg. Not that anything would be affected by it (OR WOULD IT) but everytime Chiri'd go to sleep, anywhere between 5 minutes or 5ish hours could pass. It's randomly decided. The clock in the back could show what time it is (as well as opening up the menu, which would show the month, the day and the time, but no year) The game could "start" whenever the player wants it to be. Aaaaand, A think a day counting feature would be nice. |D Meaning chiri could be in her room for a few days or perhaps months. "OTL

You can get in the bed, but you don't enter the dream world that way. You enter the nexus by exiting through Chiri's main door, but only after you've been in the bed. So get in the bed, get out of bed, go through the door, shazam. I guess this means she sleepwalks. xD

Chiri has a broom and a dust pan in her room, though you can't do anything with them. You'd save by going over to Chiri's desk with all of the scattered papers on it.

If you go over to Chiri's dresser, you can open the drawers and change into a pair of pajamas. : D But you change back into Chiri's regular clothes upon entering the nexus.

Tell me if anything is dumb or interesting, 'cause I'm really just making shit up as I go. "OTL Perhaps I should stop pulling things out of my ass.

>>3843
Toxi, please inform me, what does "OTL mean?
My poor brain is stumped and confused :C

As for the rest of your ideas, they sound interesting, especially the sleep-walking part.

The clock might be a little difficult to program, but if you manage to do so, I will be in awe~!

|D It's awright, man, I've explained it before.
OTL is an emoticon that's supposed to resemble a stick figure on their hands and knees with their face on the floor. the O is the head while the T is the torso and the L are the legs. The " is an animu-derived thing to emphasize more...depression? If that helps.

FFFF. I cannot program.
. _ .U
D00Dman, does that clock thing seem like a ridiculous task to achieve? If it is, pfft, forget about it.

>>3845
Oh, I see it now!
Oh, and, I may not be dudeman, but I can tell you it would involve a few variables, constant checks on those times, and possibly a lot of updating on whatever may happen when it is a certain time.

My opinion on it is this: If you aren't going to have certain things happen at certain times, it may be something to forgo, and possibly focus on the core game. If it is part of the core-game, like certain areas can be accessed at certain times, then you should begin planning out how you might get it to work.
Give yourself lots of variable, switch, and common event room.

>>3845 While the clock feature doesn't seem very easy, it should very well be possible.
BTW, >>3815 is me. Guess I was using that proxy to play one or another online game again.
>>3854 Thanks for the advices.
I think maybe we'd want the time feature to mainly be an hour. Since, if no one knows going to x world at day y does thing a, then they may as well go weeks without knowing a thing about it. But, if we have it tell the time, I think it should be alright.
This could definately be a key feature in the game.
Also, I want the clock to have a 1/64 chance to turn to Uboa. And then the door to be locked. (you need to save, exit and come back in order to keep playing. No, the time doesn't change if you save any time other than the uboaclock)
Or maybe something like having the clock be broken, and it sends you somewhere weird, not the nexus. Could have the Acid effect. (it turns you to a puddle, and using it's effect causes the screen to change colours. ...Not a good idea.)

:'D Oh great~ Sounds amazing.

Okay, yeah 5 mins seemed kind of ridiculous but I was really just pulling numbers from my ass. I GUESS ASS-PULLING IS THE GREATEST SOURCE OF IDEAS, THEN. 'Cause now that I think about it this sounds actually pretty bitchin'.

Wait, wait. Mara is like the Uboa for Drifter, so having Mara show up after being in the bed once is a 1/64 chance thing? : D dunno.

But having something weird happening to the clock could be interesting. Maybe the event thing could be set in a loop. Like every 3 weeks, the clock is "broken" for a day. Aaaaand it could take you to some sort of dead-end area where an NPC could be sitting there and you couldn't really do anything. Sort of like the spaceship before you crash on Mars n stuff. : D /must develop on this!

Bump because I didn't even see Toxi replied. And because I'm the dev for this.
>>3896
I like where we're going with the broken clock thing. Sure, Mara could be our Uboa.
And well, since it's been a while, I was wondering if you had any other ideas for the project/any progress.
Also, we have quite a few ideas around here, so we need a list! I'll be making it later.
EDIT: PS we haz fanart in >>4296 , Thanks Oni!

LOL SORRY GUYS. I'm back from my two-week Norway/Sweden vacation with the fam. I haven't checked on the status of my spriter, but I've asked her to sprite almost all of the 25 effects we've compiled, and Chiri's room as well.

Aaaaand, I haven't really come up with anything. "OTL Sorry guys. I haven't died.

I think I've decided on all 10 worlds,

Electric World
Classroom World
Tooth World
City World
Insect World
Sandstorm World
Childhood World
Carnival World
Cathedral World
Quiet World

:D Now to decide which effects will be found in what worlds and to think of hidden areas.

Last edited 10/07/13(Tue)13:03.

Are >>4672 the main worlds, or all of the worlds entirely? (would be weird if it's the latter) If it's the latter, I think it's missing some of the ideas in the thread.
I hope you enjoyed your trip. I'm going on an 8 day trip tomorrow (if my worsening medical condition will let me >_<), to the relief of the Yume2kki thread and others.
That aside,
Woohoo~ some work! Guess I better get RPG Maker VX ready.
--Neko-sama

Nah, nah, they're just the main worlds. They're the worlds that could be accessed with the nexus, any other minor worlds/areas/etc would have be to found. Have fun traveling. : D

>>4675 Oh, alright then.
It's not much traveling as it's a camp. Long story short, we build gigantic stuff out wood logs binded to each other and show it off to people. That's what I do at least. Then there's all sorts of stuff with the younger kids in the scouts coming etc, but I'm not in charge of any so I just cool off for a few days. (very long-story-short-ish)

HEY GUYS. DON'T WORRY, I'M ALIVE. STILL WORKING, just been shitton busy with a whole lot of other artwork.

THIS IS FAN ART. ISN'T IT CUTE?
^P^ his name is Bookcase. I can't remember if I've talked about him in this. But he's another NPC.
