TOBY FOX and The KIKIYAMA INTERVIEW Explained | An Indie Game Dev Analysis

[@mrpython3485]

The fact the last question was about going to Denny's is the most Toby Fox thing I've heard in a while

[@astrei_cat]

pffft absolutely

[@lundojelding9727]

Bro I always knew Toby Fox was a wizard, but I didn't realize he was a NECROMANCER. Mans actually brought a game dev back from the dead just to ask him what he'd order at Denny's.

[@sweetlikedonuts8581]

I wish he asked if kikiyama was planning to release something, since yume nikki is just so GOOD and had so much impact

[@blorp2555]

I love how passionate you are about this. also, just the background music

[@astrei_cat]

pffffft yeah the background music I chose for this one was silly

[@blorp2555]

@@astrei_cat no, I like that it fits in with the vibe of the video

[@chanyahoo]

top kikiyama quotes "Yes" "No"

[@repeatedecho]

I JUST noticed what background music was playing on the background 😭

[@astrei_cat]

YEAH PFFT THE SNOWDRAKE REMIX

[@MarcyTheKindaCoolWizard]

This is the kidn of channel i hope Toby secretly watches on his free time because you and him are on the same mathematical wavelength when it comes to sense of humor

[@barmalaze]

dude, thanks for covering this! Without this video I would've never know!!! And thanks for linking the text source too!!!

[@zackthecharizard9139]

(Edit: 💀 forget whaf I said.) After the all questions toby had sent and kikyama answered, This proves that kikyama wasn't part in abuse trauma or any subject matter from interpretations of Yume Nikki, He just normal developer who has unique art/music and living his life

[@leedlelel2373]

How does this prove he didnt go through all of that what the freak is that hypothesis Sure the fandom exaggerates possibility and its stupid to assume someone went through harsh stuff simply because of a game, but his answers were literally just "yes" and "no" so he didnt have to answer in a personal way And toby DIDNT ask anything related to what youre saying, so like, wtf?

[@paperhat_boi]

@@leedlelel2373 i could make stuff like that, i just never tell what it means

[@paperhat_boi]

@@leedlelel2373 yumi nikki can interpreted on your own, that's my take

[@DonnyKirkMusic]

Actually, the fact that Toby deliberately tried to ask non-personal questions is what makes this more interesting to me.

[@BelBelle468]

“This proves” Proves what?? Imagine telling some internet rando about your abuse despite not being asked any personal questions. What even is this comment. Offensive as heck to just assume ppl should expose personal info about themselves for no reason, and if they don’t they’ve got no personal info to give. Not even just that but it’s super gross to say that ppl who have trauma or might have been abused are “abnormal” and that they’re not just “living their life”. Do you think ppl who go through bad times are just inherently broken and can’t answer questions or not trauma dump? Idk what about this comment annoyed me so badly, but you did. Congrats on pissing me off so much for no reason.

[@kushkungvivo744]

This is very surreal.

[@TownandCountryCOM]

The music choice is very funny

[@Karii470]

didn't saw the full video and the clap of the begining is getting me already

[@snowulf_osu]

Bro your videos are bangers you deserve so much views wow!!

[@astrei_cat]

awww thank you so much!! I'm glad you enjoy the sort of content I make hdjsjdhd

[@TDEnotyeehaw]

They should have asked if they where working on smth new

[@Rustcat666]

This is an awesome vid. Cool interview

[@ginge3845]

that was fast

[@astrei_cat]

mhm! I tried to record this as fast as I could and now I am going to bed pffft

[@12finger]

EVER SINCE I LEFT THE CITY *YOU*

[@theDerp404]

Funny that the protagonists both have their eyes shut.

[@zubairkhalid-pt6vw]

Yo just found about this, made me super happy lol

[@Mr.Vossis]

Of course Toby fox did this, why wouldn’t he?

[@FilosofiaDeJuegos]

👏👏👏👏

[@nothingness_.]

HEAR ME OUT ON THIS THING (it's a theory of mine): Toby Fox and Kikiyama MAY be the same person. ALSO, Yume Nikki, Undertale, and Deltarune may be somehow connected, OR EVEN YUME NIKKI COULD BE A PREQUEL. LIKE LOOK AT THAT WHY ARE MADOTSUKI, FRISK, AND KRIS SO SIMILAR? NOT TO MENTION, ALL THREE GAMES ARE ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE VERY SIMILAR: A MYSTERIOUS HUMAN CHILD/TEEN PROTAGONIST FINDS THEMSELVES IN AN UNKNOWN WORLD FULL OF MONSTERS AND/OR OTHER VARIOUS ENTITIES? THE INTERVIEW KIND OF COMPLIMENTS THE THEORY: HOW THE HECK DID TOBY FOX MANAGE TO CONTACT AN INACTIVE, MYSTERIOUS GAME DEVELOPER SUCH AS KIKIYAMA AND INTERVIEW THEM?? also, THE LAST YUME NIKKI UPDATE WAS IN 2007. THE KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN THAT FOUNDED UNDERTALE STARTED IN 2013. TOBY FOX USED TO MAKE RPG MAKER GAMES BEFORE (although few were completed). NOBODY KNOWS THE IDENTITY OF KIKIYAMA OR THE MEANING OF YUME NIKKI. CALL ME CRAZY OR PARANOID BUT IF THIS SOMEHOW TURNS OUT TO BE TRUE, I FOUND OUT FIRST. Also maybe I'll post this comment under similar videos for people to see them. PS: I don't mean to offend, disrespect or insult either Toby Fox or Kikiyama with this theory.

[@AlanHernandez-jg1xv]

This is amazig

[@KUobrbufebjosku-uq9yu]

he was should also ask him "who author of the sprite of that strange broken machine in the mountain on mars"

[@rain28980]

2gou!

[@xraymone]

huh neat

[@FilosofiaDeJuegos]

Basado

[@lksxxtodin5292]

nice vídeo

[@rakyalo]

Guys I'm sorry but I have to say, kiki Yama is the worst developer ever, first: he didn't finish a Successful game (maybe because he didn't know how to finish it) Second: everytime he talks about the story of the game it feels like there is no exact story and it's always things mixed up Third: even tho the fanbase is still alive, he abandon them all and let the game itself die in a stupid way Fr he wasted his chance maybe he has no courage or has no idea what he would do with his game and has no other game idea to start develope

[@magixowo5856]

Success isn’t solely measured by commercial achievements; Yume Nikki’s influence on gaming culture and enduring fanbase demonstrate its impact. And, perhaps Kikiyama’s enigmatic approach was intentional, leaving room for community engagement and speculation. It's also just his own choice. He did make a famous game, but he doesn't think that he himself and his life should become open because of this.

[@rakyalo]

@@magixowo5856 I got what you are saying but even tho, why didn't he finish his game after all these years, I know you don't know but tell me your thoughts about it

[@magixowo5856]

@@rakyalo Because it's complete. There are many developers that are known from only one project, and Kikiyama is one of them. He didn't need to update the game which already reflects all his ideas in greatest matter. "If the game was so popular, why didn't he make a sequel?" Well, I think the reason is simple: Yume Nikki was always just a free passion project. He never got any money from users directly, And the big companies offered their contracts only many-many years later. Given how old he is, he probably already has a family, or even children, a main job and a hobby to express himself. That may sound selfish, but I think he just doesn't have any reason nor time to develop new games.

[@Iexecutioner]

What are you on about? The game is complete, it has an ending. There is a story just no narrative. Did it ever occur to you that maybe game design is not what he does for a career?
