#dream diary jam
Good luck, Dreamers! I look forward to seeing you all on the 28th! :D
It’s that time again - Dream Diary Jam 5!
Jam runs from May 15th, 2021 to June 26th, 2021. You can join before or during those dates!
On the 26th of June this year, our beloved Yume Nikki will be turning 17 years old! Once again, we’re celebrating with a Yume Nikki Fangame Jam!
Welcome newcomers and veterans to Dream Diary Jam 5, a game jam all about the creation of fangames for the cult classic RPG Maker 2003 game Yume Nikki. The goal is to create a Yume Nikki fangame, a demo of one, or to even update one of your previous entries. You’ll be given 6 weeks to work on your fangame, starting on May 15th and ending on the June 26th — Yume Nikki’s anniversary.
Submission types:
- Traditional Yume Nikki Fangame
The most common type of fangame. Typically follows the same formula/style as the original Yume Nikki, but with an original cast of characters and environments, and sometimes new mechanics. You can get as experimental as you want!Examples of this type include: .flow,Yume 2kki,Lcd Dem, and Answered Prayers
- A Fangame of the Yume Nikki setting
A fangame that uses the characters/settings of the original Yume Nikki, rather than a new original cast. Think something along the lines of fanfiction. This can be any kind of genre, JRPG, dating sim, clicker, etc. You can even make a fangame of YUME NIKKI -DREAM DIARY- if you want to.Examples of this type include: NASU Plus,Memories of Replica,Dream Kombat, and Yume Nikki Hazard
- An update to a previous submission
Didn’t get to make as much as you wanted in a previous jam? Need an excuse to work on your fangame? Don’t want to start anew? This is for you! If you can provide a substantial update to one of your previous entries, then it’s also an acceptable submission, even if you’ve been chipping away at it outside of the jams.
Want to participate? Just sign up on our itch.io page! Feeling social, like working in a community of fellow devs and Yume Nikki fans? Check our our DDJ5 Discord! Late to the party, but still looking to hang with fellow devs? Feel free to become a part of our year-round Dream Diary Development community!
And if you have any questions, feel free to send them to this blog or the itch.io page! And as always, be sure to have fun, dreamers!
