[Anonymous No.]

>>10539458
It's just a game about exploring areas which Kikiyama visited in his dreams, hell he might not have even dreamt them up and just took some LSD and started writing what he saw/whatever. Nothing deep about that.

If only something like this would happen for .flow! I'm excited about this, but .flow felt "better" in my opinion.

Then that's your interpretation.

Nobody is saying the story has to be deep or complicated. It could actually be: "One day a girl called Madotsuki took drugs and fell asleep. The end."
Fact is, there are little hints and clues, and it's fun coming up with theories as to what the HELL is going on.

And there is a lot of imagry in the game that would make sense in certain contexts.

I doubt YN is as deep as people purport, but to say it has no depth is just as simple-minded.

How many creators of things you like hide their identity? I'm betting very few. Do you hate them for that? Just because he hid his identity for so long doesn't mean he's obliged to keep doing so.

At first with all the merchandise I really though someone had stolen his IP. And now with this and that I really can't believe it.

If it's really him why not update the game too? just adding a few new worlds or fixing some issues would make everyone crazy. But he hasn't updated the news on the official site since then. Don't you find it weird?

>>10546512
Just in case you're not trolling and actually retarded, it's an exploration game. The point is to explore. It's non-linear as well and the experience is dependent upon the player.

Now please tell me how you would construct a coherent narrative worth reading from that alone. By novelizing it you're removing the one thing that makes Yume Nikki worthwhile: interactivity. It's like adapting video games into movies. It's stupid.

>>10546523
I highly doubt it. The kanji mean something along the lines of "whimsical pictures/drawings." IIRC, the term was originally used by Hokusai to describe his sketches and ideas in the early 1800s. It was later applied to more conventional newspaper comics by Rakuten or something shortly after.

>>10546513
Yes it does when it refers to a uniquely Japanese aesthetic or style of comic. Manga narratives and visual styles differ from western equivalents (though perhaps less so nowadays).

Can someone please explain how exactly kikiyama is related to all this thing? I checked the site and Twitter and did not find a thing, but my Japanese is bad. The only thing that says "kikiyama" is the line "原作: ききやま", but this only means that they acknowledge that he is the author of the original game, and nothing else. This all looks to me like aggressive advertisement of several derived works WITHOUT any sign of kikiyama's direct involvement in them, but now some of you like Mr. >>10546561 claim he somehow participates in this:
> And Kikiyama will be signing them in April.
