The De Facto Surreal Indie Game Yume Nikki Goes 3D with YumeNikki -Dream Diary-

Yume Nikki, the definitive “WTF” game is getting a 3D remake. I am at a loss for words.

If you are a gamer, odds are you have heard about Yume Nikki, a surreal indie horror game designed by a developer who only goes by the name Kikiyama. The game was made with the popular RPG Maker engine, but unlike most RPG Maker games, Yume Nikki is not an RPG but instead an adventure game where players explore weird (and creepy) environments, collect items that grant powers, and just take in the scenery. Yume Nikki demonstrated that RPG Maker could be used to create more than just RPG games. Without Yume Nikki, popular RPG Maker horror games such as IbMad Father, and Ao Oni might never have been created.

The developers of RPG Maker, the Kadokawa Corporation, has teamed up with Kikiyama to create “a collaborative show of the utmost respect” known as YumeNikki -Dream Diary-. While we know little about the game, the screenshots on the game’s Steam page indicate it will likely be a 3D recreation of the original Yume Nikki, albeit with some key changes, including a perspective shift from a bird’s-eye view to 2.5D that will emphasize the scope of the game’s dreamscapes.

While I just said YumeNikki -Dream Diary- will be a 3D remake of Yume Nikki, that’s not entirely true. The Kadokawa Corporation promises the game will also include new, never before seen characters that either were scrapped from the original release or dreamt up for this new game. Uboa, the Toriningen, and Monoko are all terrifying enough; I shudder to think what other dream demons will populate Dream Diary.

If you are wondering if your computer is up to the task of playing YumeNikki -Dream Diary-, don’t worry, because the requirements are very lax. As long as you have an Intel Core i3 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 560, you will be fine, although the Kadokawa Corporation recommends an Intel Core i5, 8GB of RAM, and a GTX 770.

YumeNikki -Dream Diary- releases February 23rd for $19.99, but the original Yume Nikki is available for free on Steam.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

There hasn’t been much buzz surrounding Suicide Squad since its release in February. Warner Bros. was let down by the game’s underwhelming sales, but they remained committed to turning their live service vision into a reality. An exciting new DLC update has been released, introducing The Crown Prince of Crime to the game.

As the game’s first live season begins, players will have the chance to take on Green Lantern and, in the end, unlock The Joker as a playable character. Which Joker are you referring to? This is quite intricate. Furthermore, players can look forward to the inclusion of a Battle Pass, a variety of new shop items available for purchase, exciting Incursions and Strongholds to partake in, as well as an expanded selection of Infamy Sets and Notorious Gear to amass.

What are your thoughts on this? Does the allure of The Joker entice you to return to Suicide Squad, or have you remained a loyal fan all along? We value your feedback and would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below.

While Sony may not classify Gran Turismo 7 as a live-service game, the team at Polyphony Digital certainly approaches it with a similar mindset. The game continues to impress with every new update, and although v1.44 may be smaller compared to previous versions, it still manages to enhance the already extensive content of this simulation racer.

The update, now available worldwide, introduces three new cars: the Audi R8 Coupé V10 Plus ’16, the Lamborghini Urus ’18, and the Toyota GT-One (TS020) ’99. Furthermore, it introduces three fresh events to World Circuits, an extra menu to conquer in the GT Café single-player campaign, and a collection of livery stickers inspired by the upcoming Highspeed Étoile anime, set to debut next week in Japan.

If you’re not already acquainted with Highspeed Étoile, you can watch a trailer right here. “Sony has announced that a collection of 26 stickers, consisting of 8 title logos and 18 main character stickers, will be made available for a limited time,” stated Sony on the PS Blog. In addition, Fukushima will be included as a backdrop in the title’s beloved photography mode.
