PATREON : www.patreon.com/maraganger TWITTER : twitter.com/maraganger Didn't expect for it to be this hard, to talk about a game so influential, so impactful to me. It feels like I always got a hundred things I love about Yume Nikki just floating in my head, but whenever it's time to put them down on paper, they evade me completely. In retrospect, this was probably the turning page for the channel that I needed. 👁
Last year, I found out that my coworker had never heard of Yume Nikki when I made a comment about Toby Fox's interview with Kikiyama that they happened to overhear. I recommended the game to them, and for the next few weeks, whenever we had a shift together, we'd play the game behind the front desk. Over that time, they told me they'd invested 30 hours into the game, discovering secrets I barely remembered from my feverish hunting through the Yume Nikki wiki page back when I'd attempted to play the game a few years prior. On one memorable occasion, they directed Madotsuki all the way to the sky garden, and we sat in silence watching Madotsuki stare out at the skyline over the trees. Even though that time in my life was only a year ago, I still think back on that period with nostalgia, and I'm glad to hear that nostalgia isn't merely a personal experience. (also this channel has been helping me through this allnighter so thank you!!)
I played Yume Nikki because a friend recommended it to me and it became this weird thing that changed how I looked at a lot of art, and what I wanted to make. At first I thought that sometimes leaving out a lot, or leaving things up for imagination can be much more impactful than stating it clearly. Which is true. But it also made me think over time about what makes the abstract interesting too. it's not simply because "wow, the abstract is so weird! It could mean anything!", but in the case of Yume Nikki, everything that is abstract is entirely a part of Madotsuki's character and character exploration. It's not simply random. We are exploring Madotsuki as a character through the abstract. And the result is a story that what we make up in our heads. Also I can definitely relate to wanting to talk about something, but feeling the anxiety of doing it. I think I stopped worrying about "has this been talked about enough, have others done it better?", because irregardless someone else's thoughts will not be the same as your own. Or I think of it as I do in drawing. Even things that are "flawed" or "imperfect" can feel vulnerable because it reveals how little or how much you might know about certain things. But that is also why it is interesting. If someone draws ribcages "wrong", because they misunderstand or perceive it differently, it can be what sets them apart and becomes their trademark. Something that people are drawn to, although it was entirely unintended.
Really insightful read, glad to see other people resonate with Yume Nikki on a deeper level, as much as it hit close to home for me. Also when it comes to being worried about creating art that might've been already done, it's a long process but I'll take your words at heart and just keep making what I vibe with, in hopes that people will too vibe with. :>
thank you for making this video! Yume Nikki means so much to me because it uniquely evokes this feeling I used to have as a child - a feeling of pure wonder, where I'm full of questions but not trying to analyse things, just taking everything in and appreciating life's mysteries as they are, revelling in the curiosity itself. that feeling gets harder and harder to tap into as an adult, but it's still in there, and Yume Nikki has something uncanny about it that brings it out for me.
We used to spend summers in the village when I was a kid. It was a gloomy village that was quite far from the city. There were no computers or internet, but if there was one thing I enjoyed doing back then, it was exploring the areas of the village that no one else saw. My friends and I would find hidden places made of trees and discover hidden places. Yume Nikki reminds me of the feelings I had at those moments. There were also times when I was interested in mathematics. This may sound strange, but what I felt was similar to what I felt in Yume Nikki and in the village. I guess there are some directions that these feelings drag me. I feel like I can find peace if I can produce something in the areas I love one day. After this video, I'm sure I need to strive for something. I always hesitated because I couldn't find what I loved in the people around me. But then I realized that most people don't have things of their own that they can love. That's why I find this characteristic of mine very valuable. But how well can I live this life by being guided by others?
Good ass video, I feel like you really captured how bizarre the world of Yume Nikki is, there are so many memories I had with this game when I tried it out last year and it was such a unique experience in every way
This video now means a lot to me, I relate to Yume Nikki in different ways but I feel like your affection and passion about it resonates with my own experiences,,,, This is such an underrated video, your explanations about the emotional instead of theories makes this video unique in my perspective Thank you
Lovely video As i just randomly searched Yume Nikki/ Inside retrospectives and analysis to hear others perspective about this game, I just love to hear other people’s opinions on ambitious games as not only do they serve mystery to the creators artistic intent, because of Yume Nikkis old gameplay and timeless visuals really inspires other game designers and people like me, I frequently come back to Yume Nikki simply for its atmosphere, dreading music and secret areas especially mars, a large dessert like planet that you wished you could explore more or behind masadas ship, and just seeing mars-san crying and unnefective to any effects (knife changing color might represent the reaction to not feeling the pain) with the 6 second piano loop that.. thatsjust beautiful well done kikiyama
I really liked this video. It explored a lot of feelings I also have on the game. My fave parts were when you talked about Yume Nikki presenting something but somehow also simultaneously letting it mean whatever you want it to mean. Like a mirror of how you feel, like you said. I relate to Madotsuki’s depression, anxiety and feelings of isolation, too... Also yeah, it was pretty cool back when OSTs were not available everywhere on RUclips and other websites so you could only listen to some tracks in-game. :) It was really nice just chilling in those areas, moving around just for fun, and listening to the tune. It felt special, like when you go to a place to see a view that you really can only see from there. It felt fun creating a path for yourself to get there, and just going through it everytime, like a route that you always go for walks at in a small town. I’m not complaining about OSTs being available though, of course. ❤️
Glad to hear you can relate ! When I originally released this video, I was a bit worried that people wouldn't really understand what I was trying to convey. ; v ;
I love Yume Nikki!! I love Madotsuki!!! The Dream Diary remake/sequel was controversial for some but one good thing I'll always appreciate is the new alternative ending it had, Madotsuki deserves to be happy
This one is a banger!! I knew a little bit about this game but you've shown so much more about it!! Great job again and can't wait to see more from ya!
oh my goodness, I clicked on the video because it looked like a professional video essay on a game i adore extremely (and this video lives up to what I had assumed) one thing i don’t understand is how you don’t have more subscribers??? this entire video knows what it’s trying to say, and the quality is impressive! keep doing what you’re doing!
Aw thank you very much, it means a lot to hear this ! I'm still pretty new at what I do but the least I can do is try to live up to the quality people would love to see. :>
Just discovered your channel because I’ve always been interested in playing this game. You’ve convinced me. It’s obvious you really care about this game and have a lot of love for it, I certainly have games I feel the same way about so I really feel like I understand where you’re coming from. You deserve a lot more attention, this video was so awesome.
This game didn't needed to be turned into indie horror platformer. It needed a "director's cut" version. Think the original YN with new maps as well as new puzzles. Also i don't think it needed new effects, but all those cosmetic ones needed an actual purpose.
As someone who played thebentire 'series' (Yume Nikki, .flow, Yume 2kki); this game, Yume Nikki always struck an emotional cord for me as it was so unique and I appreciate you being able to capture thkse feelings within this video ❤
There may be a lot of Yume Nikki videos, but the game is so wild, it's nice to have different approaches to it. I also didn't know about the manga before now. It was a very good video.
With the sheer amount of fan games out there, hope you don't burn yourself out ! Regardless, a lot of them pretty much rival Yume Nikki in terms of creativity. :>
OH SHIT I didn't realize this was what you were working on!! So excited 9:00 hah, I also thought of hypnagogia! Make sure you catch the expansion when it comes out soon 👀 One of my favorite parts of this game is the impressionist and almost apathetic approach to art? I don't want to sound negative, but the art cares much more about the feel and the quantity of content than the quality/polish, which is actually super great in practice. The end product feels vast, scary, and difficult to comprehend in a way that highly polished and detailed art sometimes just can't. Lack of detail is an artistic tool too, and it just hits this perfect amount of detail imo. Adding any more would just take me out of the dream
Definitely agree with that sentiment, Yume Nikki's approach to art is inspiring in it's own almost minimalist take on itself. Also can't wait for the Hypnagogia update !
I always check youtube every couple months for new yume nikki videos. its good to see a new-ish, small youtuber talking about this game. keep up the good work! your videos seem to be pretty quality. im happy to be a new subscriber ^v^
Yume Nikki is a wild time. It’s the perfect game to hear others thoughts on-since the interpretations are always so diverse. Had a great time hearing yours!
Just played the game last week for the first time. Thank you. This game... is indeed one of the kind. I found making one aware of one's unknown feeling through symbolism is powerful method. This is an art and can work as a digital tool (meaning you can copy, share, and preserve it) to help developing humane sympathy by conducting self analysis regardless of the sad ending of the story.
So sorry for the late reply ! RUclips only now notified me of your comment but thank you ! I'll definitely try my best to keep the weird stuff coming. :>
Just finished watching this. I gotta say love how you went above & beyond with this video from going to the beginning, to how you felt about it, to end with the aftermath of its popularity in both games inspired by it & how the series as a whole was received by the community when it began branching off to manga title & a remake. I'm gonna stick around for more videos like this so you definitely earned a sub from me. Keep up the well researched videos going, because whoof you definitely called me out at the beginning about writing scripts about things you wanna cover, but the anxiety drives you insane & want to postpone it for later.
@@maraganger You’re welcome! Your video is such a beautiful homage to yume nikki and how much the game means to you... AND IS FUN TO WATCH! I have rewatched it two times and laughed at 10:08 on both watches. I’m sure that your feelings with yume are relatable to many people! I loved this moment 25:29 so much!!! 😭 The lain OST was used so well too 👏! I was already subscribed since the Lake Ophelia video but, wow, this video is even better!
Awesome video! I was at a point in my life where I was sorta falling out of love with most games. Playing Yume Nikki re-sparked my interest and love for games.
When i clicked on this video i did not expect to see it be made by someone with only 200 subscribers, given how every other video with similiar quality ive seen was made by someone with 100x that amount of subscribers. I hope the algorithm notices you soon because seeing this amount of effort go to waste would be a shame to say the least.
One of my favorite parts about this game is the community. Although it's not that big, it seems so cozy for such a dark game. Though sadly a big part of the community is in Japan, separating many amazing artworks and remixes from the others.
True, a big part of the fanartists are Japanese exclusively but despite the language barrier, I feel like we all got something in common, that is our love for a game that's changed us. :>
Your production value and content in general feel like that of a channel with 10 times the amount of subs, of which I am now absolutely one. Keep up the great work!!
I love this video so much and I love how a community stays current from an almost 20 year old rpg maker game. I liked all the references you made too haha. Your channel is small but it seems like you would have at least 100k and you do deserve it! I’m certainly going to subscribe because you put so much effort into this and your other videos. :)
i HATE not having instructions or a path in videogames rpgs and open world games are unplayable to me but it was really nice hearing you talk about something that you are so passionate about heat video
I know this is an old video, but... On the topic, I highly recommend you check out Yume Nikki Online if you haven't already. Its a collaborative project that hosts many fan games (17 currently!) along with the original. It allows you to play with other people, and even includes fun mechanics like collecting badges for witnessing certain events, tours and such! Also, great videos. This and the nekojiru one perfectly described how I used to feel - listening to those words was like discovering a tumor on my body. Its always been there, but I could never pinpoint what, where, and how. Thank you so much!
@@maraganger I’m still mad about that this game never came to the Switch like seriously we got Mad Father, but then PLAYISM decided to not port the original Yume Nikki to the Switch but instead ports one of the worst remakes imaginable called Yume Nikki Dream Diary!!!!!

Kikiyama is right up there with Zun in terms of influence.
Gonna make a game even more heavily inspired by yume nikki than my previous works one of these days.
Can't wait to see that then ! :>

Aw, I'm so glad to hear you resonate with that sort of feeling. Yume Nikki defo was one of those special games for that especially.

My favorite effect was always the cat effect because every time i hit the "meow button" my dogs thinks its a real cat and lose their minds

Milk Outside A Bag of Milk Outside A Bag Of Milk, it's this really cool visual novel I'll eventually cover ! :>
Please help there’s too many Hume Nikki videos on RUclips and I have to watch all of them and it’s driving my lil autistic ocd adj mind mad
What is the music at 7:53 ?
Hitori Bocchi 1b from Serial Experiments Lain (Bootleg) !
The fact that Steam got this instead of the Switch really pisses me off!!!!!
This game came out waaaay before the Switch did but I get what you mean. I'd love to see it ported to the Switch eventually !
@@maraganger I’m still mad about that this game never came to the Switch like seriously we got Mad Father, but then PLAYISM decided to not port the original Yume Nikki to the Switch but instead ports one of the worst remakes imaginable called Yume Nikki Dream Diary!!!!!
@@maraganger I decided to buy the iOS version of Yume Nikki instead of waiting for PLAYISM to port the original Yume Nikki to the damn Switch!!!!!
