/yn/ - Yume Nikki General

We have his email address and he keeps saying he will update it. He just hasn't for years.

He has removed a link from his website that became broken at one point, though, but I do not have the date.

last time people did this from what i know, kikiyama said he wasn't going to actually update the game anymore.
I remember this being discussed on irc about a year ago.

We should all fund enough money to hire a private investigator to figure out his identity.

I mean we're on the internet we found out who goatse is…

Because he posted on an amateur porn site where he used his real identity. It wasn't rocket science to figure out, and it wasn't the work of an investigator hired by the netizens

It does kind of suck that it won't be updated again, but at least there is no more chance for any sort of disappointment if any continuation turned out to be shitty.

He probably realizes this, and thus fears it.

thiiiiiis
you know i rather like it being just a singular thing now with it's growing fandom your not going to get people bitching at you as much if you discontinue the game than changing it.
i didn't know we had that news though, i was probably away at the time. the last time i saw anything from him was conformation that he was alive after the disasters in japan

I thought they matched up the moles on his ass to find that though. Like scrolling through some alt.whatever board, and so many nasty images, until they found a man with the same amount of moles on his ass or something.


But uh… I'd be more interested in the other things Kikayama has done. He seems like he would be doing interesting art projects or something.

Sometimes I think about how cool it would be if Kikiyama has been hard at work on the full version of Yume Nikki this entire time. A man can dream…

Ehh. If I were Kikiyama, I probably wouldn't update the game either. It's bad enough that s/he has so many people gasming over his/her game, what if s/he messes up and everyone goes insane? Worse, what if someone pulls up an obscure fangame and starts screaming Kikiyama is "no longer original"?
It's just a headache, and there are better things.

Maybe s/he'll be starting a new project or something that isn't even remotely related to YN. Like some other anon said, s/he seems like the artsy, creative type.

Just out of curiosity… does anyone know how old that Kikiyama is?

I'd personally be more interested in his other work, or at least finally prove my "theory" that everything in the game is just random stuff that he designed and not some Illuminati conspiracy detailing in full the workings of the subconscious.

Kikiyama doesn't actually exist, Madotsuki was a real girl who committed suicide and her mind manifested itself as this game.

Kinda like The Ring, except you won't die if you play it.

I'm pretty sure he tries to stay as anon as possible.

Anonymous 02/15/12 (Wed) 02:48:43 No.906

What if he killed himself?

I think I have heard theories before that Yume Nikki could have been his/her suicide note or something.

A few months ago, he replied to a mail of an Uboachanner, so nope.

I haven't heard anything about Kikiyama updating the original YN but, if it makes you feel any better, somebody named Jiikun is making a 3-D version of it. Sounds pretty badass and there's already a small demo.

Here you are.

There's not much there in the demo, but it's still kinda neat. Here's hoping he comes out with an update at some point.

What's there only takes like 5-10 minutes to check out, so I'd just go ahead and do it. No need to schedule a block of time, or the like.

I have the type of internet where you pay for all the data you use, so, I can't until I visit a relative or someone with better internet.
