[@SkullstheCat]

lcd dem was, if I remember correctly, actually never properly finished. koronba had actually posted online essentially pleading with people to just forget the game had ever existed. no one had found the reason for this, however. lcd dem was also one of the most lonely fangames i think i had ever played. whether this was intentional or just because more npcs weren't added, that's unknown as well. nice video nitro! :)

@Tum Tum That's such a stupid take.

[@ace-smith]

@Tum Tum you don't know what you're talking about lol

[@jacen884]

@Tum Tum he never finished it and he hates the recognition from the game. He is also a music composer and is pretty famous in the UTAU/vocaloid community.

[@Likhos1]

The picture at 10:24 seems related to the Egyptian myth of Ra and Nut, where the sun god (Ra) travels through the sky to be eaten by Nut (the sky), which ends the day, only to be reborn in the next morning.

[@ChazboTheMaster]

Without Yume Nikki we wouldn't have LISA. Just throwin that out there.

[@cajhonson44]

+Egg dude that game is like my jam

[@isaacargesmith8217]

Or Undertale to a lesser extent.

[@isaacargesmith8217]

Gnurt But Toby's obviously inspired by yume nikki from some of the area's ambiance like waterfall and to a lesser degree the lava area when no one's talking, to gaster, to even the main character's design resembling mototsuki's, and probably other similarities I haven't thought of of the tome of my head. Plus he did use Uboas sprite in his earthbound rom hack. Like it's not as prominent as with Lisa by any means but it definitely shows inspirations from Yume Nikki.

[@isaacargesmith8217]

***** Plus just a lot of aspects about him feel very Uboa inspired.

[@Anzyll]

We would have Undertale, but it wouldn't be Undertale. It would be, like, Taelenrud.

[@Brunoki22]

How does one even know when new fangames are released though?

[@aporutan925]

I've just recently played a Yume Nikki fangame called Fleshchild and I think it's become one of my favourites. There's a solid portion of the game (namely the alleged "real" world) that is very different in gameplay in contrast to the original. The game is still in beta but was just updated early last year.

[@ChristLover53]

Your profile picture vaguely reminds me of Chihiro, and a tiny but of Rin Kagamine.

[@ma.2089]

Ahh, I miss fleshchild

[@TheChiperSdre34]

How could you be unimpressed by Chie's design? It's literally just a child version of Chie from Persona 4

[@roseherbert9013]

I know this is an old as fuck comment, but maybe he thought it was unimpressive because her original design isn't all that impressive. I mean, I wasn't impressed by any character in Persona 4

The bat with nails is a reference to japanese deliquent culture, being used as a weapon by deliquent schoolkids. The bat usually has the nails being hammered into it with no directly sharp points, only the nail heads, to cause harm.

[@tvRiverRemix]

did someone say YN fangames 'cause i love them. so one thing for them is that i don't strictly consider them 'horror games', yeah they branched off of a game that could be considered 'psychological horror' but the main point is exploring the subconscious of the protagonists so they vary greatly. personally my overall favorite is Nisshi, it has neat features and for me it's the closest to the original YN experience but managing to be its own thing and not making the mistakes that various other do like: put blood everywhere, have empty as fuck worlds when they're not direct copies of the original YN maps (coughcoughgraffityworldcoughcough), make ear-piercing sound loops, sprinke a lil' bit of stuff that actually tells you something about the protagonist and don't forget the annoying as hell maze full of chasers. as for LcdDem it actually does have step sounds, maybe it was a problem with the Locale. ok, that's all i gotta say, real sorry for the wall of text :V

[@acerbusthedarkenvtuber5684]

Looking at the comment section, I am quite surpised no one got the reference to Parasite - the maxim - he made.

[@PineappleLiar]

I did, but before he said "Migi" I thought it was a reference to The Gate.

Best thing about LCDDEM is the music, good job covering it. Never bothered with Answered Prayers, seems I largely made the right choice. 15:25 couldn't share your sentiment more. Lolrust really does care for it, even when working on another game he updates .Flow and occasionally even makes art of it he shares around.

[@StreetwizeJJ2]

Brady in his 60 FPS glory. So beautiful.

[@gotgunpowder]

Literally all of the sound effects you listed as missing from LCDDEM are in the game. I think your audio is messed up.

[@madamecrystal]

I'm happy to see someone finally talk about these games, I mean even yume nikki gets very little attention by people who want to discuss games...

[@ShadowCD624]

I think the pure aesthetic alone of Answered Prayers really gives it an edge over other fan games. Its creator is very clearly a gifted character designer, with Fluorette being one of their more note worthy designs. She has a very Touhou look to her in that she's designed to look both complex and simple at the same time. I'm gonna have to agree with you though. The maze in it is pretty awful.

[@ShadowCD624]

I just realized I commented on this video when it was originally posted, saying essentially the same thing. Oops.

[@Jonloo1]

hey this is completely unrelated to the video but im studying japanese right now (hiragana specifically) and i noticed that usotsuki was a name that i could actually read and write on my own with knowledge i already had and seeing it on screen and reading it before seeing it revealed to be a word in english made me feel really cool

[@sephi.]

that kiseijuu reference tho... I just love your references my dude

[@Yellowlax.]

11:00 if you listen to the music it sound familiar to a part of "Owen Was Her" a song in Touhou.

[@terapimahal]

10:30 Hey a reference to Egyptian Mythology! The bending woman is the goddess Nut and the boat with the circle is the sun god Ra sailing on his barque. I think I've read somewhere that the journey of the sun in ancient Egyptian belief was likened to Ra going inside a mouth and going through a long channel (intestines?). But I still dunno why the picture's there in the first place. Been a long time since I played YN fangames so

[@dreamdiary0061]

the reason why koronba took down the lcddem website (and all of his social media) is because attention ruined his mental health. i’m a huge fan of his music and even though i was never actually there when he was active (i only discovered him last year) i read about what happened. it’s theorized that he committed suicide after one of his songs “.” (also known as jellyfish) got popular. i might be in the wrong here but if anybody in here knows more about koronba you can correct me if i’m wrong

[@jsyproductions7]

Hey bud! Great video, I'm always excited when you release Yume Nikki related content. You don't get too caught up in bashing a game simply for comedic effect, and I find that refreshing. If I had to give some criticism, I'd say you could still sharpen up your writing a bit. Some of your wording strikes me as a bit awkward, such as when you use the word "weird" several times in a few sentences. Also, some of your captions are so quick I have to try to pause the video several times to read them. If you want the audience to read something, you should let it sit for at least a few seconds. Keep up the good work!
