Time of day system?
In a PS1 game?!

Yes.

Important Yume Nikki PS1 update: you can now enter the igloos.

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.

Thanks :)
I started making it like 2 weeks ago. :)

Elias Daler @eliasdaler.bsky.social · 6d

Thanks!

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... 😅

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

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

Give me 1.5-2 weeks more.

ゆめにっき PS1.

I'm afraid that dropping further hits would get people to guess immediately. 😂

Elias Daler @eliasdaler.bsky.social · 16d

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!

Elias Daler @eliasdaler.bsky.social · 16d

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... 😑

I won't elaborate further. 😈
