Meet Felix and Dahlia! The main characters of my still-in-progress project!
While as of now I plan to make a Yume Nikki fangame I want to keep things vague about them, but I can say there will be an interesting dynamic between them.
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!
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.
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 Developmentcommunity!
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!

Yume Nikki’s 16th anniversary is this year. To celebrate, we’re hosting a game jam where participants make a Yume Nikki fangame in 6 weeks. You can work in whatever engine you’d like with however many people you’d like, as long as you turn it in by June 26th, 2020! You can see all the rules (don’t worry, they’re short) here on itch.io.
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.
An update to a previous submission - Did you enter a game in Dream Diary Jam 1, 2, or 3 and want to make an update on it? Now’s your chance! You can take this option even if you’ve been working off jam on your game, as long as you provide a substantial update.
We have two OPTIONAL themes this year:Nostalgia and fungi/mushrooms. You can incorporate one or both of them into your game any way you’d like (as the premise, as the mood, as an effect or world, etc.), or you can choose not to! Have fun and get creative. c:
