dreamdiaryjam: DREAM DIARY JAM 3 -YUME NIKKI JAM- IS COMING MAY 17TH! And you can follow us on Twitter (which will be updated soon) as well as here on tumblr! It’s back, dreamers! Welcome old and new to Dream Diary Jam, a game Jam all about creating fangames for the cult classic RPG Maker 2003 game Yume Nikki - and for the new YUME NIKKI ~Dream Diary~ as well. The goal of this jam is to make a Yume Nikki fangame or demo of a fangame within 6 weeks time, starting on May 17th and ending on June 30th, the original Yume Nikki’s 15th (wow!) birthday. Your host this year are @pinkuboa & @pancakeproductions. Here are the currently accepted types of entries: A Traditional Yume Nikki Fangames - These games are just like Yume Nikki, except with different protagonist & worlds and sometimes a few game mechanics changed up. They’re like sequels or spiritual successors to the original game in lieu of an actual Yume Nikki update. Get as experimental as you’d like. Examples of these games include .flow, Yume 2kki, Lcd Dem, and Answered Prayers. An Actual Fangame of Yume Nikki - These games use the characters and setting of the original game and make a new game with them in it. They’re like fanfiction, except with a lot more programming. You can make anything from a JRPG to a dating sim for this one, as long as it features the cast of Yume Nikki. Examples of these games include NASU Plus, Memories of Replica, Dream Kombat, and Yume Nikki Hazard. A Fangame of YUME NIKKI ~~Dream Diary~~ - Your goal would be to make an adventure-platformer with surreal and/or dreamlike things, and have a few items the player can collect and use to solve puzzles. See the itch.io page for details. An update to a previous submission - Did you enter a game in Dream Diary Jam 1 or 2 and want to make an update on it? Come on down and put in a nice update for it! You can take this option even if you’ve been working off jam on your game, as long as you provide a substantial update. Your goal is is to make a full game, demo, or v0.00 (see “Completion Goals” on the itch.io page for more details). Whatever you decide to make, do your best to complete it and have as much fun as you can! There’s no competition and no prizes, so there’s no pressure for participants to make the best game ever. Only gentle, encouraging pressure to get your game finished here. If you’d like to take a look at previous years’s entries, check em out here (https://itch.io/jam/dream-diary-jam ) & here (https://itch.io/jam/dream-diary-jam-2-yume-nikki-jam-) Jam Basics Jam runs from May 17th, 12:00am EST to June 30th, 11:59pm EST. You can plan out your game all you’d like before then, but you can’t work on it until May 17th hits. No competition or contest, just the satisfaction of making a game! Late entries are accepted up to 5 days after the jam, however, you must contact the jam so they can be added to the jam page properly. You can work by yourself or on a team, and you can make as many games as you can participate in. The game can be a demo or a full game. For traditional Yume Nikki Fangames, it has to fall under the requirements of a v0.00 (see “Completion Goals” for more details). Yume Nikki is still in v0.10! You can make your fangame any genre you’d like, don’t feel constrained to horror. You can use any engine you’d like. The RPG Maker series is suggested for a traditional fangame, but traditional Yume Nikki fangames have been made on other engines as well. Unity is suggested for YUME NIKKI ~Dream Diary~ Fangames as it was the engine the game was made in, but feel free to use any 2D or 3D engine you’re comfortable with.
