Hello everyone!
This message is a call for those who want to participate in this project! What we have in mind, is to produce a remake of the "Yume Nikki" game, as a tribute to its original creator, KIKIYAMA.
What we want, is to create a revamped version, not only of "Yume Nikki", but also of its unofficial sequels "Yume 2kki" and "flow", and put them all together in the same game, dividing it into three 'chapters' that would be the three original games. Our project, as most remakes, would have some enhancements as well, for example, we would use the unused effects in the original Yume Nikki. The game will probably be called "A Dream Journal", since its the translation for "Yume Nikki" (Yume=Dream, Nikki=Diary/Journal)
What will we use to make the game will be RPG Maker XP, since we will make use of the scripting system in there.
Who will we need for the team?
SPRITERS: A spriter to redesign most elements of the game: backgrounds, characters, tilesets, etc for everything, except the 8-bit areas,
COMPOSERS: A person with experience, at least with FL Studio or Linux Multimedia Studio to recompose most musics and maybe sound effects of the game, except for those in the 8-bit area. I might help in some as well.
RGSS SCRIPTERS: Not RGSS2 (the one in RPG Maker VX). We need an experienced scripter to write the code for the menu systems, so we can count with the original one, and the one used in the 8-bit area, and can easily toggle between both. Also we want to put all the minigames together for all the 'chapters', and give them a more SNES-like look. Also for some effects, cutscenes (we will be using DivX AVIs for some, plus the ones already in the game, scripting would help reduce the glitches in the game.
MAP DESIGNERS: To help redesign the maps. I might help in here.
ANIMATORS: To make anime-style cutscenes.
All those involved in the (re)creation of the game, will be given credit of course. We want people that's willing to collaborate with each other, not conflictive ones that would even cause the project to collapse. Also, we won't involve any money, that includes, payments, profits, blah blah blah (unless we get a TLD and run on donations)... We want to do it just for fun. If you are interested, go to this page and tell us about yourself!
