/fg/ - Fangames

>>14021
ようこそ！
uboachanで訳者があるから日本語で書き込んでいいよ

いい事といえば、夢現のような雰囲気があって、キャラや絵がいいで、イベントなどが多いの方が良いと思います。また、音楽がゲームと余韻/通じ合うしたらすごくイイと思います。それに、自然で溢れる景色も表示したら（雪、林、花など）、完璧なゲームになりますよ。
へたくそといえば、ゆめにっきに登場したマップやテーマやイメージなどがいつもがっかりです。オリジナリティに目指せばの方が良いと思います。

My only advice is that huge mazes that make your eyes hurt when you look at them are not good.
頑張ってください!!

>japanese

This might actually happen, good luck OP.

>>14027
Don't be racist, just because the dev is Japanese doesn't automatically mean the game will have good art or last long. Lots of Japanese fangames die out after the first couple of releases.

>>14021
Don't be afraid to do the unexpected. There's too many of the same things in a lot of games. Try for brighter colors and less eye/gore/blood gimmicks. Don't go with big empty areas and painful mazes (to navigate and look at). Consider also a protagonist who isn't a recolor.

I love the horse idea! I dont really have too much yet. I'm working on her bedroom, the nexus, and a few worlds. I'm sorry about not having a prototype right away. Again, I have a very busy and difficult life, so development will be rather slow, but today i'll start pushing other nonimportant things out of the way.

Milo here. Unfortunately, I won't be able to provide updates for a little while due to internet addiction. I have a notepad where i write and sketch ideas, and i'm committed to get a working demo going. I'm sorry for disappointing everyone, but i have to put my own health in front of my fangame.

Beautiful.

No worries, nobody had faith in you and your fangame in a first place (considering you had nothing to show us) so you didn't disappointed anyone

You all are right. I shouldn't have announced this. i'll keep my mouth shut until i have something worth showing.

90% of dream jam entries

A good bunch of the short burst of western Post (And some Pre-)Answered Prayers fangames too. Some weren't ever finished, but what little was there (Anarchy comes to mind, so does N'Oubliez Jamais to a certain extent. While the latter is still influential, it certainly hasn't aged very well.)… For every semi-decent idea that somehow was never developed or even posted a demo, you'd get some really stupid things. Or even decent games that had its moments.

Also, The Door of Thoughts. Dear mother of fuck, that game. I know I was in that phase, still doesn't excuse it. While Remedy had its luck onto being partially undone and thus its newer version is lost, this first game is basically an ol' shame o' mine. It's interesting to see how far have I come, though.

Parade and Double Dream come to mind in the eastern side - not because of the typical SO EDGY, but because of the peculiar soundtrack and some of the artwork.

>>13619
Also nonny, you should get the 2k3 version for the maximum face implosion moment. Trust me, you're missin' on some.

>>13624
For what its worth, I still like Me a whole lot M-256, even it is a lil edgy and a lot awkward in engrish

One Fucking day I'll figure out that 01101 puzzle

Here's a shitty short walkthrough I wrote for both endings.
Hopefully it will help you lads.

Very promising game, I was impressed. What a nice surprise, I'm eager to look into it more. You put a lot of thought into this and while it feels like a fangame there's enough it in to help it stand out. We need more like this.

My only real complaint is a nitpick, but I don't like the protagonists sprite much. Mostly the eyes. Again just a nitpick though.

DL LINK UPDATED TO V1.3

-Fixed door opening animation stuttering.

-Fixed 2 maps where the Data Stream effect sound wouldnt work.

-Fixed an instance where you weren't supposed to be able to use the 9 key.

-Fixed an error with the couch in the left most world.

Hopefully this covers all the fuck ups I had in the game. Thank you all so much for playing lads. I'm really glad people are enjoying it.

To update from a previous version you can replace the files of the previous version with the files of this download. Your save should still work.

How the fuck is this not popular yet

There's a dedicated thread for issues like yours.
Also, don't put your name and email, it's an optional step.
Try downloading .flow again:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/10ffd7s2rcdul6e/flow_ver0.192.zip (Japanese)
http://www.mediafire.com/file/t5za389klzn2d2t/flow_ver0.192eng.rar (English)

You're going to need to change the game region to Japanese, because of the Japanese filenames.

"syujinkou" is just a Japanese word for protagonist, so that lead won't take you anymore. No idea about the effect_kouka1 picture though.
You may want to check the old archived 2kki threads from 2ch.

>>12677
Like >>12681 said. And the people in the cages are actually supposed to be Nire as a young girl. Sitting around corpses or something.

She also needs her headphones for whatever reason because of that.

Map 02 doesn't work and crashes the game on the 0.02.3 english version of the game. Any idea what could be causing that?

Bumping this since there was an update:

https://ux.getuploader.com/yuque/download/41

Agh, need to check this out.

>>13434
IMO it's the most promising of the 'new' fangames, along with Minus Ichi.

I'm not good at mapmaking. I just made this base. It is missing some areas, and has no links.

Why are people ignoring this?

Almost all fangames aren't iconic enough to spend all that time to make maps of. The original is a classic while everything else is derivative, like a bonus feature or something. Why put the effort when the point isn't to site-see, but to experience the same feeling of going into the unknown?

>>13352
For the same reason you aren't doing much either. It's not worth the time nor the effort.

Yume Nisshi, Dream Graffiti and .flow have maps like this, as far as I'm aware. 2kki might too but with the immense size and constant updates it'd be a headache to keep up.

I'd like to see maps for yuque, it's not a particularly big game.

That is in the Back Alleyway. If you keep going back and forth on this screen and the screen before it, eventually the cones will be gone.

Oh, important to note that I do have Locale Emulator installed and I have run the game using the admin option.

a) Doesn't seem like that locale emulator is working at all, just change your locale manually to japanese if you really want to play
b) Yes we're active, and
c) Less than five minutes are necessary to notice this thread >>229

There's a thread specifically for help on getting fangames to run. You might want to see it in case somebody had the same issue.
Personally, the text from that window tells nothing. There's no japanese message though and that might mean your locale is messed up. I would recommend not using LocaleEmu and just changing your System Locale under the Language options. Nothing really prejudicial happens and your system won't turn ching chong but it will be able to display Japanese text correctly.
Source: Did a Windows 10 clean install recently, changed locale was enough to get .flow running. 2kki needs the RTP though, but .flow works simply with changing your System Locale.

And yes, this place is still fairly active, even though we're mostly the same 10-15 people posting.

Sorry about that, I should have taken a look around. I really appreciate all the help, and it's cool to see at least a small regularly active community still. Thanks!

I noticed something about the song lainbow2 (that plays, although slowed down, during the flight event).

The beeping noise that starts at 00:08 and remains till the end of the song appears to be Morse code, which spells "A5ASH" ( .- ….. .- … …. ).

Do you think it's supposed to mean anything?

>>12980
Probably not. Coincidentally though 'AA-5 Ash' was the NATO reporting name for a type of Russian air to air missile known as the R4. Used by the Tupolev Tu-28 (NATO: Fiddler) interceptor aircraft in the 1960s.

I highly doubt that it means anything though. It's probably just a catchy chiptune ditty beat lol came up with that sounded like a heart monitor. Still a neat observation.

I guess it could give credence to the theory that Sabi is a slav/Russophile and/or lived during wartime or the cold war.

Alternatively, the missile is a penis. Everything is a penis.

I was inspired to write a film script adaption for .flow (for fun), and I find myself in a rut trying to make sense of every single detail in this huge game. I must have missed a good third of the content in my first playthrough alone. Keep in mind I am by no means some kind of expert, in fact I've only discovered Yume Nikki and the assorted fangames late last year, but I'm wondering if this interpretation of the larger story holds any water.

Sabitsuki is an orphan who's mother and father are out of the picture for some possible reason, perhaps her mother died in childbirth and her father left her for adoption shortly thereafter. Whatever context, she has lived on her own almost her entire life. She has no friends or family to rely on and is largely ostracized at school, but she eventually develops a desperate, one-sided relationship with a boy in her class; Smile.

Constantly fighting to stay afloat on her own, Sabitsuki turns to prostitution to make ends meet, and it is possible it is from a client she contracts the rust disease.

Some time passes and the rust disease has reached pandemic levels across Japan (or wherever you want to assume this game takes place), death tolls in younger children is incredibly high and word gets out that Sabitsuki has been working the streets. Smile, willing to do anything to protect his sister, threatens to kill Sabi if he comes close to either of them.

Now even more secluded, Sabitsuki drops out of school and shuts herself in her room where she uses the internet to vicariously live through fragmented representations of her memories as her symptoms begin to develop. Her mental state quickly deteriorates into insanity, ultimately leading to Rust.

I see Rust as, metaphorically, Sabitsuki's repressed fears of her inner darkness and violent tenancies. She'd love nothing more than to watch her classmates all die to the disease and to cave in Smile's head with a pipe. Secluded in her room, Sabitsuki spirals into depression and isn't able to control her obsession.

Truth be told, that was my initial interpretation the first time I played the game, so it's mostly what I have to work on. There's so much stuff that's left out so take it with a grain of salt, but if I got anything wrong then feel free to correct me.

That's funny, according to your logic Rust is essentially a psycholgical disorder or an allegory for how disgusted and upset Sabi is with her life, but you still say that she "contracted the rust disease".

Goddamnit, why do people have to be so literal-minded all the time?

This is amazing OP. Already lost myself for some minutes there, it is something unique, and it curiously gives off a Yume Nikki similar feeling. Thank you for sharing it.

It's just a more jarring, less polished version of this.

The page number is a lot smaller too and it doesn't give any impression that there might be something more to it.

>>12793
This is interesting.
Surely the creator of Terminal 00 must of heard of this project before then? It does seem to follow a similar formula. It's obviously unpolished, but there is some direction to it.
If the direction of this project is really trying to imitate another, then i'll be really disappointed. Although, looking at them side by side there are simply too many similarities for it to be called original.
Bummer.

you guys aren't very good at investigation
he has a link to Kikiyama's site on his own site, on the "Connect" page, and has cited Yume Nikki before as an inspiration for his own work
i've talked with the guy before, he loves Yume Nikki
the site is undergoing some radical changes at the moment, keep checking back for new stuff

faux does it way better. I was confused for a bit because I thought the same dude did both and was wondering why the angusnicneven one was lower in quality. He links faux as an interest in his interest page, but the whole alien/fantasy schtick for the website makes it kind of unclear. Interesting though, I'll give the guy credit for his effort.

I was pretty sleepy so i just realized my examples were bad.

What i meant by my post was something like this:
YN: Uboa sighting
Yume 2kki: Bed animation
.flow. That broom flying event

I meant the moments that trapped you in, not the "why you like it" approach.

Unrelated topic: Where did you find the picture?

>>12308
For me it was a lot of the music. The two songs that play in the sky garden and underground on mars really sucked me in and kept me just watching the screen for a long time.

>>12857
I had found it on Pixiv.
