I'll give it a play startin' right now~

I already noticed SPINNAN dad... that kind of made me chuckle

Oh, Yowwie, by the way - thatnks a lot for helpin' me out.

>>4283
No problem!

(edit) This game is pretty interesting, you do some very out of the box stuff, and some pretty fucked up stuff, too.
I like this game :3 (/end edit)

:S I will have you know that one of your areas actually managed to freak me out....

; _ ; there were so many of them....
why so many?

(if you need further help, I'll be happy to help you still~ One thing I would suggest is to make sure your tiles let the player move where you want to. I've noticed a couple of places you could walk where you probably shouldn't be able to, such as on top of the stove in little Al's house.)

Why hallo thar Perverse Suffering

firstly, can I shorten your name somehow? Whenever I type out your name completely it makes me think of a rouge peach with a fleshy mouth and rotting teeth. :'D unless you like that mental image.

secondly, I shall dl this right now and give my opinion in a few. But the idea sounds interesting so far, I like those kind of games :3

@Yowwie No-no, that is alright. It is supposed to be that way if you can walk somewhere where it seems you can't.
@Snow You can also call me PS.

Well, finished one playthrough of it.
And gotta say, it's my kind of game hoho :D

Some of the dreams really freaked me out, especially the consequences - I really jumped when I saw what happened if you don't put out all the stoves...

One problem though, my game froze up at one point, so I have to start through again. sweat
Meh, but it's fun anyway, so I think I'll play this a lot from now on. Interested on those endings hoho

but aaah so many colors

>>4287
Wait, at what point exactly did it freeze? I need it!

>>4288
Sometimes it freezes after you are asleep, but before you go into a dream, like... it freezes when you try to go into the deeper part of a dream from the transition hallways.

I think it might be a looping issue.

Oh, gotta check that.

>>4289

Yeah, when I tried going deeper into a dream, sorry I didn't mention.

Question for the gameplay, how many kinds of memories are there exactly?

Okay, so I made a patch, see it in the OP post

There are rage, illusion, happy and cruel memories, Snow. More are coming, I guess.

>>4292

yay merci

Hmm, PS~. What about that one ending where you (SPOILER) turn into a cat? (/SPOILER)
Is that a real ending at all or just some sort of "game over you lose hoho"? :o

That ending is... uh, wait for a patch.

I need help ;_;
Someone draw me a title screen please ;_;

You know, there are few things i don't like in this game. I mean, idea overall is really cool, but design kinda sucks. First, one is able to get certain ending in about 5 minutes. It basically means, that you can finish game in 5 mins. Second, i guess you used random variable to decide where you're getting teleported. It could be good idea in case of game focused on exploration. In this game through, it's more about achieving goals. I think it would be better to have dreams, that are somewhat like quests. You get some background (like park for example), few npc, and based on your actions, there is certain outcome (like, for example: you can take revange on your father, for not buying you a candy, or you can make him buy one, OR you can go, explore dreamland and meet a magician, or whatever). From what i get, main hero can alter reality by his dreams. This actually gives a lot of possibilities. But in game it didn't seem so. I had feeling that he could take vengace on his parents, or forgive them. Illusions were completly unrelated to anything. I think it would really be a lot better if, rather than passing trial (these timed maps seemed like ones), we would feel like our dreams actually can change world. Also i guess it would be somewhat more shocking to see, that normal dream about walk in the park, when we butcher our parents, would come true. Oh, and also, sorry, but i really didnt liked the graphics. I'm kinda estetic so i simply like when things look neat.

As you can see, there were quite few things i didn't liked, but i said them only because i think, this game has really big potential. Anyway, if you wish for some help with graphics and scripts, than i could help you.

Hm-m, at least someone played this... thank for opinions, though! This was supposed to be close to real dreaming, you don't see what you want to, you see what there is.
As for the revenge on dad, just collect all of them 5 rage memories...
As for the time trials - you might as well wait till the timer expires, that'll bring it's results as well.
Gimme a break, though, this is kinda a rough prototype.
And for the help on the graphics - I'd really appreciate some, but since you're not completely liking the concept of the game, I guess there'll be conflicts.

Last edited 10/07/03(Sat)23:31.

What kind of excuse is saying, that it's still prototype? If game has flows, they should be corrected. About scripting alone, there were no real issues, i guess, but gameplay alone simply feels like run from point a to b. Also, you said, that when there is a timer, i can simply wait till it goes to 0, and i have different memory. That's what i mean, by calling it a trial. It depends on our efforts, whenever we save someone, or not. From my point of view, dreams that Al sees, should more realistic, and invole lucid dreaming, so he could - through his dreams - change reality.

Btw. is there anyway to escape illusion dreams? From what i get till now, only Devil dream could give me either illusion, or cruel memory. Rest of illusion-type dreams forced illusion memory on me. That's why i couldn't even do anything to prevent myself from getting these memories.

Btw2: whenever our concepts are similiar on not, that doesnt metter. With graphic, you can just say what you want, and it'll be done. Like for example, tell me what kind of title screen would you like?

>>4323
To escape illusion dreams, just walk back out of the room, or interact with something that doesn't look like it would be the illusion.

Also, PS, do you actually intend on changing many of the graphics on this?

I would, if I were you. At least to the point where whatever characters appear aren't from the RTP.

>>4323
Illusion dreams have a way to escape, I included them, but that'll be in the next version.
His dreams are not realistic 'cause I want metaphorical effect.
Also, about the title screen and all, is there any way to contact you somewhere off Uboachan ASAP? I don't want publicity on what exactly is going on in my project, y'see, but I want to make things quick.

EDIT: @Yowwie I'm really going to change the graphics. The GFX those are now in game are too... eh... you know. But I'm no artist, and intend on asking for help, as anon has already offered some.

Here's email adress i created for that case: grey.invidia@gmail.com
I don't use msn or anything like that, so that is probably only way to communicate with me. Don't worry about me not replying, because i check my mailboxes quite usually (like, few times in a day).

>>4330
O-okay, let's kick /fg/'s ass!

>>4350
Oh, but be aware, that i have some work and stuff like that, so don't expect from me few graphics in one day (also i'm outrageously lazy). Anyway, i'm working on Al's charset for now. I tried to use colors you wished, but a bit desaturated, so they won't be fucking with eyes.

Yep, I overdid the colors... gotta work on that as well.

Oh god
Bump

Hm... you should do something with bug that crashes the game if you visit all locations before getting any end. Either, create much more maps, so chances would be almost zero, or do something like variable counter, that resets all teleport switches, after hitting certain number. Also i guess you should do something with illusion dreams. Most of them are like: either get illusion memory, or nothing (or at least thats how it looks to me - except wall-walk dream, i never wasted much time on these).

Oh god, my project died
wat do

>>4714
wat?

oddly similar too the concept of my game lol.
Except you don't get effects, but objects from the real world to use in your dream. Also, I like the idea od what happens in your dreams come true. (I had that concept) Playing now, I'll give my insights after

Alright, this post is from me posting, and playing at the same time.
1: holy shit the very first dream room looks ALOT like mine.
2: graphics so far weird. Like the dream version of the beginning room.
3: holy shit demons chasing after me, and you used an Inverted color effect. I used the same thing.
4: Me being a furry I lol'd at the Cat vs army of dogs.
5: I like the variable random generation of maps.
6: waling on walls! II'm in love
7: turning RPG maker into a side scroller, even more in love.
I reached a point where I couldn't sleep again, then I walk over to the right and I turn into a cat.... then I walk out and i'm returned to the titel screen.

>>4719
Nobody gives shit about "your game". If you want it acknowledged, post it. If not, then there is no point in braging about it. Personally i belive this game has potenial. It's somewhat a fangame for Yume Nikki, but then it's so far different even from any other fg, that it really deserves support etc. One my ask "why?", but answer is quite obvious. Even when it recycles idea of dreaming, it puts even "dreams" on different level. They ain't conentred around exploring. Dreams here are events, situations. We don't go around exploring. We kinda fight on for an outcome we want to achive. Well... at least that's how i see that concept of game.

I noticed the more certain memories you have, the more likely you have a specific ending.
I ended up with the illusion ending, where you turn into a cat.

Oh, by the way - happy ending is inaccessible. I only made dreams enough for max. of 4 happy memories ;_;
>>4728
Easiest to get, by the way.

yay, one tripfag more

>>4730
I admit. The illusion ending I see as a happy ending.

>>4732
It ain't happy, it's Al being overcome by illusions and locking up into himself.

>>4735
You should make it seem not happy, then.
Make it more obvious that he has gone insane from strange visions. Maybe make something different happen then the (SPOILER)cat transformation (/spoiler).

Editing just a bit~
The way you executed the illusion event is sort of fridge horror, because, yeah, once you think about it, it's odd, but it's probably not something people will be thinking about that deep. From the bright colors and plants and all, it would seem like something lil Al wanted to happen for a while anyway, which would sort of make it happy, even if it is weird.

In the end though, it is your game, and if you wish to keep the element, I would back you as it is your decision :3

Startin' to shape up there, man
Nice seein' Al as a non-default sprite.

Guy looks pretty gloomy, but I could guess why.

Well, actually sprites were drawn by anon who offered help before. Chipsets are so far mine, though.

>>4722
sorry I'll go to /fg/ instead

Hey there, a new version! Not too big, tho. At least I revved the graphics.
Oh, and completely new music.

Uh, what's the point of Rudyard Kipling quote?

That is just your average mindfuckery :3

wtf i dont get this game
what do i do??

>>5150
Well, you dream. Like in any other game here.

Must...not...bump...

Fail

I don't know if you're happy, but I am. I mean, Amoyu is one of my favorite fanartists and there's this Al from him.

>>5578
OH
MY
FUCKING
GOD
This is so cool, I can't bear with it.
How did it come out anyway? I thought my effort was a fail, after all...

Last edited 10/09/20(Mon)06:39.

>>5582
I dunno how it got there, but it seems like it's been posted on the Loda page for some time...
And I don't think it was a fail, but that's just my opinion...

>>5584
Oh, that... That was me :3 By the way, sanku 'bout the opinion.

>>5585
Oh, that explains it.
I actually like this game very much. It's short, but the variation of possibilities makes it very enjoyable. And I don't think it's a bad thing for it to be short.

Hey gais, I need help! The artist who's helping me is way too slow and I need moar artists (at least one medium-speed would be awesome). Help me, the desire to finish the game is leaking from me every day :(

I wonder, how would you like to finish this game? I've played it and imo most of gameplay was done. From what i get, all you want is some graphics to make it look more dunno... yume nikki-like?

Yes, sort of. Besides I want to add some new stuff for which I'll need new things drawn. So, anyone?

To be honest, I can't say that I like it a lot.

The concept is pretty interesting and different than most of the other YN fangames I've seen, but the way it was executed just didn't work. Everything in the game is just too random and confusing that it ruins most of the fun and mindfuckery that it could of had (believe it or not, adding random crap in random places doesn't make a game scary or interesting; it just makes it seem...well, to be blunt, stupid.

The storyline/basic plot of the game isn't exactly clear either. Once again, it seems like it could of had a lot of potential, but ends up falling short. More illumination on Al's family/background/abilities/etc.etc.etc. would definitely be needed to make the game seem complete.

Some of the BGM doesn't seem to fit the overall mood of the game, especially the title screen music.

There were a quite a few glitches in the game as well, one of which ends up making the game completely unplayable. The first one happened to me in the pipe world a couple times; when I try to go up through the top, it just takes me back to the title screen. And sometimes, when I try to get Al Ree to fall asleep, the game just completely dies on me and I have to close it.

I'm not trying to be a bitch; just saying what I think.
The game just doesn't live up to it's potential. I hope you'll work on it for future releases, though, because you really do have a great base for a game. (:

ah, and sorry for the TL;DR. xD;;

Last edited 10/11/09(Tue)17:41.

Ahem

You sure you got the latest version? 'Cause the exiting glitch exists no more... for the rest, I was just testing out RM2K, then it turned into something slightly different. Honestly, I just want to delete this shit I've made form everywhere and forget that it ever existed - I don't like it myself, y'see.

>>5992
Pretty sure. I downloaded all of the patches as well, so idk what the hell happened. xD
Gah, don't do that. D: It really could be good with some work.

Good sir, I applaud you. This is the first RPG maker game / Yume Nikki fangame that actually scared me pretty badly. Especially the part with the maze, where the skeleton suddenly rushes into your goddamn face. Honestly, that was just plain cruel! I shrieked like an 8 year old.
Either way, nice job. I especially love the concept of the 'randomizing' dreams. The fact that you don't have a choice about where to go makes this very interesting.

Creepy.
But I found one thing, when you're cat in your house, and then demons are chasing you, but they can't go inside, game crashes...

>>6285
Ohmaigod you made my day!
>>6288
Crashes? Like, how? If it goes straight to main menu, that was the intention, think the ending over. If it crashes somhow else, please tell me how exactly.

>>6291
Oh, now I understand. There should be notice, though.
And because of this game I will be having nightmares. that's a compliment.

HELLO THERE ARTIST ANON!
IF YOU GAVE UP ON THIS, PLEASE LEMME KNOW! Really, 'cause the work is slowed down as fuck.

>>6574
Not really gave up. I just don't even know how game is progressing and all. Try bugging me more often about that, because i'm lazy fuck and easily get distracted with other stuff and it'll also let me know that you're still working on the game.

Also, lack of graphics doesn't slow the work down. You can easily use substitute graphics in a meantime.

And i'm working on my own game right now. That's what i'm focusing on the most. That's why other things are of lower priority. Pic related.

Bumped for being a cool little game. Random thoughts...

• Cool unique game structure, short levels instead of the usual sprawling exploration. Maybe other games can try this, too.
• Enemy swarms well done, something about their movement pattern is... unsettling.
• Is the road dream supposed to be a driving test? In any case, after I passed it I got an "Axe" (see picture).
• I hope you'll do more with the real-life aftereffects, I see a lot of potential there.
• Memory descriptions and most endings are kinda meh, some other things are also meh, but overall I like what I see.

Thank you for making this game. It was intriguing and surprising, and I enjoyed it.

Uh, Leizanami-chan, whoever else, help me with finding fanart on this game, since I suck at pixiv search and I know there are probably more than 3 pics of it out there (aren't there?)
Oh, and the rest, have a new version, link's in OP-post. "New" means "less (probably) bugs and more graphics", that's all for now. Besides, I've cut out stupid ending pics for now. Those won't do even for substitute gfx.

And a more stable release: http://www.mediafire.com/?3ttjd15x0bqioxu

>>4279

>>8401
What's that about, I don't even.

I played this game and I loved it, I love how it has an LSD feel to it with the randomness and stuff. I feel like this game is better to not save so you can play it and just have fun with the random memories you get.

So far I've gotten 2 endings, the Cruel and the illusion ending.

Hey... I think I could try a least help out a little with the systems. More dreams, a higher items limit(after around 12 items the game freezes up when you try to sleep.), no issues with dream enders(The "Father Death" stage is all glitched up.) What do you think?

>>8437
There ain't no limit, it's just a random generator glitch. But yes, whatever help is welcome.

Congratulations, you've just spoiled a new ending.

Not implemented yet. Edit your post though, no need for spoilers ITT.

I will erase the other post on monday, have written it at work.

For some weird reason when i go to the bed the game crashed... I mean it didn't do anything. No response using Z or X... I dont know if it was an ending or just a glitch... So far i got a game over end and illusion end

I've found all five endings. Won't spoil them out, but they're literally around the corners...

COME ON WHERE IS MY FANART

>>4279

>>4279
a quick doodle.
don't exactly know how to post this(and it's my first time posting)
but i just want to tell you that there ARE some people playing,and loving your game.
looking foward for the new version.

>>8538

any news around here?

>>8585
Pretty much half-dead. That doodle inspired me for more, though. I'll see what I can do. Will take some time recalling all that RM2k3 knowledge. Definitely wait for more.

i'm just playing NJ.i have got two endings at present and i'm trying to get the rest.but when i got these memories i can't sleep any more.AL just lie down on the bed but he can't fall asleep and go into the dream.i remember that anonymous got the same problem before.anyone can help?

>>8656
No idea. You sure you play the latest release?

>>4279
>>8128 ← i download the game here.

>>8696
Still no idea. Looking for the wrong piece of code in that random digit generator is like looking for a burnt-out lamp in a straight connection chain of 30 equal lamps without an ampermeter.
