4 direction movement, party list with stats you'll never use. Limited buttons, among other things.
Is the charm of yume nikki based on these limits of rpgmaker?
I use gamemaker. It wouldn't be difficult to emulate these limitaitons, but it also feels arbitrary to do so.
I can make full top-down movement. Clean up the pause menu. Add more actions...which probably isn't necessary. But does that not make it a yume nikki game?
Not at all! If you feel you can make a fangame in a 3D space with 360 degree movement or a platformer with 2d movement, you're more than welcome to!
It can be tricky to figure out what constitutes a Yume Nikki fangame, but the main thing is being inspired by certain formulas- collecting items, exploration, surrealism. But don't let the restraints of RPG Maker stop you!
I honestly don't remember. I think I used different cameras and projected them on specific parts of the screen when the player would reach the edge of the world, that way you would see whats on the other side. I'm prob gonna have to go back and reverse engineer my old code soon for what I'm working on. I can get back to you when I do that but it might be a bit. I'm on the Dream Diary Jam Discord too, maybe I can send the code on there at some point?
I found the old demo i used as a base for my code last time, here's a link if you wanna check it out.
I think my problem was that it didn't work with the depth system I was using but there should be ways to work around it
