Yume Nikki : Mod(ified) Project

9 years ago

So lately I’ve been decided whether or not to continue this project as I’ve been doing or to just create my own fan-game from scratch. With both options, there arise problems. With the YNMP there requires a lot of file conversion of traditional files and the encoded game files. And even after all that, I have to create midi music files, something I’m not good at as well as pixel art which I’m even worse at. With my own fan-game (dubbed Yume Metsuki) I have to start from absolute zero, meaning I don’t have the base files that Yume Niki offers as well as the prescripted events and effects.

There are also pro’s to each side however. With the YNMP I can build on something that’s already present, making production time faster and easier on my part. With Yume Metsuki, I can start from scratch and use traditional image and audio files that I’m good at creating. I also have freedom to create whatever universe I want instead of maintaining a certain aspect.
My question to you all is what should I do? Should I scrap one them entirely, come back to them later, or just try and balance between the two?

Been working lately on lots of 'behind-the-scenes' boring stuff that no one really cares about, so here’s a guy playing the sax for some reason.

Shoobies leave a sticky trail of mucus in their wake, which can impede movement for any creature that steps in it.

Updated the chest in the maze, adding sound, particles and better animation. But what's in the chest?

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
