Some progress on Yume Nikki PS1.

Sorry, no Madotsuki walk animation yet, but it's starting to look pretty neat. :)

I keep having strange dreams.
They're really disturbing.
So I'll write them in you... My dream diary...

My Yume Nikki...

I finally fixed Silent Hill's fog and will now use it in some scenes.

It makes everything pretty atmospheric. :)

I want to make skyboxes work later too, they're pretty important for the balcony, I think.

I started making it like 2 weeks ago. :)

Yes. I don't know how many areas I'll make, but whatever I put out should be pretty cool. :)

Yume Nikki PSX looking better and better every day.

I'm incredibly excited about it myself and it's a very good sign.

Thanks!

You can freely rotate the camera and the controls are camera oriented. I'm thinking of adding a top-down view like in the original as well (if I can get orthogonal camera working properly)

My Yume Nikki reimagination running on a real PS1.

I know there's been several attempts at making a 3D Yume Nikki... ๐Ÿ˜…

Mine won't be *that* serious and its catch is that it runs on PS1.
Was it that similar? ๐Ÿ˜…

About to boggle the minds of the entire Yume Nikki fandom.

Give me 1.5-2 weeks more.

I'm afraid that dropping further hits would get people to guess immediately. ๐Ÿ˜‚

This is a bit of a distraction from the cat game, but also a thing I wanted to make for a *long* time. :)

Also, making it has already led to some improvements in my modelling and asset workflow, so the "main" game will also get a lot of good things from this little project!

I'm making "what if [GAME], but on PS1" and it'll be an actually playable small demo (just a couple of areas, but polished).

A lot of fans of a certain unique indie game will go crazy for this... ๐Ÿ˜‘

I won't elaborate further. ๐Ÿ˜ˆ

Temp name, but might stay that way forever if I don't come up with anything better, haha

The pack is this one: ggbot.itch.io/psx-style-cars

I did the vertex colors myself.
1) With them
2) Without

That feel when you find a "PSX style CC0 asset pack" and it actually works (with minimal changes) and looks great on PS1. ๐Ÿ˜Š

No, itโ€™s static, you can only change the model itself + license text. ๐Ÿ˜…
