Welcome to my sandbox. This is where I'll put stuff when I'm experimenting with wiki assets, constructing new pages, or just doing trivial analytical things for fun.

Specific World Exploration

Documenting how the dream world can be explored under certain conditions and other various things related to the dream world. Click Expand to view contents.

The Chair

This table lists locations that are accessible with the Chair, obtained in Madotsuki's Dream Bedroom, and nothing else. Effect combination glitches with the Chair will not be included, as this list only compiles what can be achieved with the Chair alone with no effects obtained prior. Notes and ranking are also based on the availability of rooms and events in a given area.

• "Yes" means everything here works normally.
• "Partially" means you can get to this world and only do some things available there.
• "No" means you can't get to this world at all.

This list will also not count areas you get trapped in by already-hostile Toriningen.

No-Clip Glitch

This table lists locations that are accessible when the No-Clip Glitch is used.

World	Notes
Madotsuki's Room	KALIMBA TV Channel event can be triggered. Balcony can not be accessed. Getting in the Bed here deactivates the glitch, even if it sends you to the Staircase of Hands. You can get stuck here by interacting with the chair while on top of the desk.
Forest World	You can still interact with the ghosts here. The gate to Face Carpet Plaza does not work.
Block World	Getting in the Bed here deactivates the glitch, even if it sends you to the Staircase of Hands. The gate to White Desert does not work. You can still teleport around with Mafurako, even when using the Snowman combo. Teleporting with Mafurako to a higher place and then leaving her will make X-marks appear on some of the blocks. The Restroom here still works.
Puddle World	The path to Dense Woods does not work.
Dark World	The gate to The Wilderness does not work.
Snow World	Getting in the Bed here deactivates the glitch, even if it sends you to the Staircase of Hands. None of the igloos can be entered. The Toriningen here allows you to access Hell freely, since the isolated section can be escaped with the glitch.
Mural World	The Sewers manhole does not work.
Graffiti World	The Restroom here still works. The elevator to the Mall still works.
Eyeball World	The gate to The Footprint Path does not work.
Candle World	Getting in the Bed here deactivates the glitch, even if it sends you to the Staircase of Hands. The pyramid to The Checkered Tile Path does not work. The Toriningen here allows you to access Hell freely, since the isolated section can be escaped with the glitch.
Shield-Folk World	The gate to Static Tunnel does not work.
Neon World	The doorway to The Neon Tile Path does not work.
Number World	First room: The first room loops, which can't be seen during normal gameplay. You can also access the water portion at the bottom of the room, which makes the "water step" noise, despite being unable to step on it during normal gameplay. The Zippertile leading to the FACE event can be interacted with and stabbed, but the tunnel to the event does not work. The Stabbing Room and the Lamp World door can be used. Second room: Getting in the Bed here deactivates the glitch, even if it sends you to the Staircase of Hands. You also can't use the unoccupied beds that are normally unreachable due to the surrounding beds. Guillotine World and Mini Hell can both be accessed. The Toriningen here allows you to access both ああああああああ event variants, and they can both be escaped with the glitch.
Staircase of Hands	Accessible through the beds, but entering a bed deactivates the glitch, so it can not be used here.
Hell	Only accessible through the Snow World, Candle World, and Guillotine World Toriningen. The Nenrikido here can be interacted with to teleport you to other worlds. The Toriningen here can also help you access other worlds, as their isolated traps can be escaped with the glitch. The Henkei Shita here can be stabbed to access The Footprint Path's first section. The gate to Dense Woods and the stairway to The Docks do not work. The Vending Machine can be interacted with.
Mini Hell	Accessed through the same process as normal gameplay. The closets still work.
Neon Tile Path	Both sections can be accessed, though not normally, as the transition between the two sections does not work. The top section with the smaller pyramids is only accessible through a Nenrikido in Hell. The bottom section with the larger pyramid is only accessible after getting caught by the Face Carpet Plaza Toriningen.
Footprint Path	Both sections can be accessed, though not normally, as the transition between the two sections does not work. The Henkei Shita section is only accessible through stabbing the red Henkei Shita in Hell, while the Goppa section is only accessible through a Nenrikido in Hell. The Goppa can still be interacted with, though only when standing on the path.
Checkered Tile Path	Both sections can be accessed, though not normally, as the transition between the two sections does not work. The top section is only accessible through a Nenrikido in Hell. The bottom section is only accessible through the small lamp in Lamp World. The pyramid to Candle World does not work. The Toriningen here allows you to access The Docks freely, since the isolated section can be escaped with the glitch.
Face Carpet Plaza	Only accessible through a Nenrikido in Hell. The gate to Forest World does not work. The Toriningen here allows you to access the Neon Tile Path's first section freely, since the isolated section can be escaped with the glitch.
Dense Woods	Only accessible through a Toriningen in Hell, as the isolated area can be escaped with the glitch. Only Dense Woods A can be accessed. The path to Puddle World does not work. The Vending Machine can be interacted with. The Infinite Road can not be accessed, even after interacting with the Jellyfish. There is a glitched Jellyfish out-of-bounds to the south that causes the game to lock when loading anything.
Teleport Maze	Only accessible through a Toriningen in Hell, as the isolated area can be escaped with the glitch. The teleport tiles work, but you have to manually interact with them instead of stepping on them. Teleporting with any of them deactivates the glitch.
Sky Garden	Only accessible through a Toriningen in Hell, as the isolated area can be escaped with the glitch. The staircase to The Wilderness and the doorway to the Crossover Garden do not work. Unlike a lot of worlds, the transition to the second area works with the glitch. Sitting on the benches in the first section deactivates the glitch.
Mall	Only one room can be accessed (the one from the Graffiti World elevator). The escalators do not work, even if the one leading to the rooftop is not blocked.
Docks	Only accessible through a Toriningen in The Checkered Tile Path, as the isolated area can be escaped with the glitch. The entire area loops, which can't be seen during normal gameplay. The stairways to The Sewers and Hell do not work. Interacting with the Pirori here is the only way to get to The Wilderness. The Vending Machine can be interacted with.
Wilderness	Only accessible through a Pirori in The Docks or by teleporting with the blue tile in the Teleport Maze. If accessed via the Docks Pirori, the player can visit the room before the Barracks Settlement, where none of the transitions work (heading into the Barracks Settlement, exiting the room through the southern exit, going along the gate to the east). The latter room with the portal to FC World A, accessed via the Teleport Maze, can be entered, though the glitch is deactivated once the blue tile in the Teleport Maze is interacted with.
Lamp World	Accessible through the door in Number World. The Toriningen in Number World allows you to access the ああああああああ event variant here, and it can be escaped with the glitch. Interacting with the small lamp allows access to the bottom section of The Checkered Tile Path.
Guillotine World	Accessible through the hole in Number World. The closets here can still be interacted with, whether they send you to Number World or not. The Toriningen here allows you to access Hell and Dense Woods freely since the isolated sections can be escaped with the glitch.

• Excluding "Window", a badge that requires you to have all of the effects, the following effects are the minimum of what is needed while taking the shortest possible routes for badges:
  • Cat effect (Beneath the Surface, Acknyawledgement, etc.)
  • Hat & Scarf effect (Melted-tsuki)
  • Knife effect (Dave-y Jones Locker, A Stab in the Dark, etc.)
  • Medamaude effect (Monoko of the White Desert, under the condition Madotsuki does not wake up once entering the dream world unless woken up by an event or to achieve the game's ending while also taking the shortest possible route to obtain a badge)

  • Spirit Headband effect (Ghostly Assembly)
  • Stoplight effect (Monoko of the White Desert)
  • Witch effect (Black Cat)
  • Yuki-onna effect (They Like Me-ow~!, Moonwalk, etc.)

Name Articles

The "Name" articles are a series of articles originally created by Mt.kiki on the old Yume Nikki Wiki. These pages list various theories relating to Yume Nikki and possible design inspirations for various aspects of the game. As the articles (likely) provide a Japanese point-of-view on the game's visuals and themes, they are likely to give better insight into possible design processes while creating Yume Nikki.

As the articles are either largely written in Japanese, have broken Google-Translated English, or are copy-pasted from other websites, I'd like to try and see if I could decode what each of the article's sections intends to communicate. This is also done to squeeze the contents of the articles into a smaller, usually multi-paragraph, state so that it can be read from a single section rather than an entire article.

Not all of the articles have currently been analyzed or translated, so this is still a work-in-progress section. Once one has been completed, an image will accompany the section.

Click Expand to view contents.

Bed Room

The article makes a connection between the Number World Bed Room and "Naraka", a Buddhist term that is basically the Buddhism equivalent of Hell or purgatory. A being is usually sent to Naraka as a result of bad karma, which may relate to how the Number World Toriningen must be stabbed in order to enter Mini Hell, where a ghost of Madotsuki resides.

In Buddhism, it is widely believed there are eight Hells (with there being a total of sixteen, split between Hot and Cold Hells). The Eight Hot Hells appear to relate to the eight closets found in the Bed Room. There are also four gates on the four sides of the Eight Hot Hells, which is similar to how there are four closets (gates) in the four cardinal directions of Mini Hell.

Note from the sandbox owner: Mini Hell also appears to be based on the Blood Pool Hell in Buddhism. While texts of this punishment, called the Blood Bowl Sutra, originated in China, it grew quite popular in Japan. The belief was that women who died during childbirth were sent to this blood pool as a form of punishment (which may explain the red drip effect seen in Mini Hell, and why it shares a similar appearance to the normal Hell map). This may also relate to Aztec themes seen in the game, as the Aztecs considered childbirth to be a form of battle that women faced. The Aztecs believed that women who suffered the same fate would be sent to Paradise alongside those that died in physical battle, a much more peaceful ending.

Bloody Touching Monster

The Bloody Touching Monster may be based on the Daidarabotchi of Japanese mythology, a giant who weighed Mount Fuji and Mount Tsukuba on a great scale to see which was heavier. This is similar to how the Bloody Touching Monster is large in size and grabs onto the mountains in the background of Uboa's Trap. The picture in the article also depicts Daidarabotchi as fully black, almost shadow-like, much like the Bloody Touching Monster.

The article also makes an odd connection between Myristica fragrans and bloodletting. The Bloody Touching Monster appears to have small spurts of blood coming from its arms/legs, which may allude to bloodletting. This process is a treatment for "nutmeg liver", the chronic congestion of the liver that gives it the appearance of nutmeg. The article then uses this connection between blood and nutmeg to bring up Myristica fragrans, a nutmeg tree that has yellow fruit with black and red seeds. The yellow hair may symbolize Poniko (blonde hair) and her room (yellow door and carpet) being transformed into Uboa's Trap (black and red, the same colors as the Bloody Touching Monster).

Candle World

The article first relates Candle World to The Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, which is also known as Candlemas. There are also the Twelve Great Feasts, related to the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, which the article links to the twelve Nexus doors. It seems that each of the twelve doors in the Nexus represent an event that the Twelve Great Feasts are based on (though the article's table does not just use Nexus doors, it states other non-Nexus worlds like the Pink Sea and Sky Garden Stairway).

The pyramid in Candle World is also taken into consideration in the article. One of the first instances of a candle-like object was in Ancient Egypt. Egypt is well known for its pyramid structures. The pyramid also links back to the religious theme discussed earlier. There is a Slavic dish known as Paskha, which is typically eaten at Easter, is molded into a pyramid shape, and is often decorated with a single candle atop it.

The article also links the fairy tale Snow White to the Candle World. The characters located there seem to represent the characters in Snow White. The Dwarf represents the Seven Dwarfs, the Toriningen represents the Evil Queen, and Madotsuki represents Snow White. It should also be noted that there are seven Walking Candles in Candle World, the same number of dwarfs in the tale. In the tale, Snow White is offered a poisoned apple by the Evil Queen in disguise, which causes her to go into a coma/fall asleep, which may explain why there is a Bed in the Candle World near the Toriningen. The Toriningen are also considered "enemies" in the game and the Evil Queen is considered the antagonist of the Snow White fairy tale.

The last section involving the Walking Candles simply links it to wax sculptures.

Note from the sandbox owner: This table is in the original Name article and might be expanded upon by me in the future, as it seems unfinished or unsure on the locations in some areas.

Dave Spector

The article suspects that Dave Spector may be another instance of indigenous imagery in the game. They resemble a Nazca female effigy figure (picture viewable here) which is made of hair, shell, and whale tooth.

Dave Spector is also compared to the children's game Manhunt, which is like a combination of hide & seek and tag. Madotsuki is considered "it" and Dave Spector is "tagged" by being stabbed with the Knife effect, allowing access to the Monoe and Severed Head tunnels. The "manhunt is sometimes played with teams" addition may relate to how there are two Dave Spectors. More about the White Desert and how it may be based on children's games is detailed in the White Desert's Name article.

Effects

Effects take the form of eggs when they are dropped in the Nexus. The article relates this to Easter eggs, which are special eggs given out around springtime to celebrate Easter. Eggs, which are often used to symbolize rebirth, are used in Christianity to symbolize the empty tomb of Jesus of which he was resurrected from. This could relate to the ending of the game, as many fans view Madotsuki's death as a "rebirth" or "reawakening", and the only way to achieve the ending is through dropping all of the effects (eggs) in the Nexus. The Name article also relates the time that Easter eggs are given out (spring) to a section in the Wilderness article detailing Batsu's similarity to the Asian royal fern, which sprouts in the spring. Batsu also resembles a spiral shape, which is noticed in the Wilderness Name article. In some ancient civilizations, spirals are regarded as a symbol for the cycle of life and death, which could also relate to the "reawakening" ending theory.

The connection to eggs does not stop at the theories of rebirth and reawakening. The Floyag in the Dense Woods are stated to resemble a uterus, though the article suggests that their appearance may come from the Earthly Branch symbol for the rabbit zodiac sign (卯). The symbol also vaguely resembles a uterus, which also fits into the egg and "rebirth" themes of the article. The article also brings up the symbol for a fertilized egg (卵), which shares a similar resemblance.

The article also notes the presence of an "Easter egg" in the game itself. A code similar to the Konami code is input into NASU to play the eggplant-headed NASU mode. It should be noted that inputting the Easter egg causes increased bonus eggplants.

Fabergé eggs may have also been an inspiration for some of the effects and their egg design when left in the Nexus. Fabergé eggs were jeweled eggs made by the House of Fabergé from 1885 to 1917. They were typically given as gifts during Easter. A table is even given in the Name article to compare some of the eggs. A simplified version is put below:

Midget egg	Yuki-onna egg	Bicycle egg	Triangle Kerchief egg
First Hen Fabergé Egg	Winter Fabergé Egg	Steel Military Fabergé Egg	Twilight Fabergé Egg

Another Fabergé egg that is brought up is the Bouquet of Lilies Clock egg, which has roman numerals up to twelve surrounding it. The egg is also split into 12 sections. Notably, there are also twelve doors in the Nexus (excluding Madotsuki's door). The lilies may have also inspired the presence of the white lilies in the Crossover Garden. White lilies are also associated with death in Japanese culture, which may allude to the ending, which requires leaving the effect eggs.

The final parts of the article relate to the ending, resurrection, and the directions that two events in the game symbolize. The article first mentions the Feast of the Ascension, a feast meant to commemorate the ascension of Jesus that usually takes place during Eastertide. There are two different events which the article associates with "ascension": the Witch's Flight and the Ending. The Name article also relates this to the cycle of the Sun and Moon, and how they could symbolize positivity and negativity, respectively:

• The Sun rises in the east, symbolizing brightness/positivity/good. The Witch's Flight, which is a happier event compared to a lot of what happens in the game, could symbolize this positivity. It should be noted that when Madotsuki has her effects, she travels East and has a more positive experience. When you fall from the event by unequipping the effect, Madotsuki wakes up while facing east, which could relate to the resurrection (waking up) and Christ (Easter).
• The Sun sets in the west, symbolizing darkness/negativity/bad. The Ending, which is a more negative experience and literal ending of Madotsuki's life, could symbolize this negativity. It should be noted that when Madotsuki does not have her effects, she jumps West and has a more negative experience.

Eyeball World

The Medamaude NPC that gives the Medamaude effect resembles the hamsa, a palm-shaped amulet depicting an open right hand with an eye on the palm. The sign represents protection, which could relate to how the Medamaude effect returns Madotsuki to the peaceful Nexus while remaining asleep, especially in a situation where she is lost or trapped by characters such as Uboa or the Toriningen.

The Eyeball World background also heavily resembles Paracas textile work, depicting a dream being that is an often reoccurring design throughout Paracas textiles. This being represents the dreamer and acts as a sort of self-awareness during dreams to signify that the person is in fact dreaming. The figure also holds the head of the dreamer.

While the background obviously takes inspiration from the Paracas, it may also be inspired by the Native American sun dance ritual. One of the members of the dance wears a red loincloth with no upper-body wear, face paint, a packet of tobacco around their neck, and sage rings around their head and wrists. This description slightly fits the Eyeball World background, as it wears red, has rings around its wrists (and ankles), and also some sort of neck attachment. The sun dancer also holds an eagle bone flute in their mouth during the sun dance, blowing it in order to attract eagles. It was considered good luck if eagles flew down due to the flute's sound, as they were considered the eyes of the heavens.

FACE

FACE resembles various drawings and paintings by the artist Louis Wain, who particularly drew cats. Some of his later works depicted more surreal and abstract representations of cat faces.

The Name article relates FACE's connection to Louis Wain's works to the Cat effect, suggesting that the two may have a connection. Due to these similarities, it suggests that FACE may be an interpretation of someone in Madotsuki's life, possibly a family member or her parents.

FC House

FC World obviously takes inspiration from classic Famicom/NES games, though Mother (also known as EarthBound Beginnings) appears to be one of the more significant and obvious inspirations.

The next installment in the Mother series, Mother 2/EarthBound, has the beginning of the story start with a meteor crash. This may have inspired the NPC Merutomaro, who resembles star jelly. Star jelly is a gelatinous substance that, in folklore, is stated to fall during meteor showers. The substance also often takes a primarily white color, matching Merutomaro's appearance. Considering this slime and meteor connection to Merutomaro, they may also be based on the monster from The Blob, who comes from outer space on a meteorite. The term "blob" can also stand for "binary large object", a collection of binary data in a single entity, which is befitting of the retro/digital/game-theme of the world Merutomaro lives in.

The mushrooms in the FC Basement, know as Kinoko-san, appear to be based on a kyōgen performance known as "Mushroom" or "Fungus". The play centers around a man who grows annoyed due to the large mushrooms growing around his house, so he orders a Yamabushi to pray in order to get rid of the mushrooms. However, the more that the Yamabushi prays, the bigger the mushrooms grow and move. One of the characters in the play, Oni Mushroom, may also relate to why they surround the FC Demon's room. Their place near the FC Demon may also relate to how mushrooms have stimulated growth when exposed to jolts of electricity or large sounds simulating lightning strikes, as the FC Demon gives the Demon effect, which creates lightning.

The inclusion of the Goblins in the basement appears to interpret them as computer viruses in the article. Their brighter appearance and them wielding weapons may indicate they are intended to represent this. They also have a noticeably higher chance of giving Yen, which may indicate that eradicating them is good because they are "evil" or "bad". The castle wall they find themselves by may be intended to be a pun on a firewall, a network system intended to keep a network secure.

Graffiti World

Graffiti World's tile-like layout appears to be inspired by the game LSD: Dream Emulator, which is based on a dream journal kept by Hiroko Nishikawa. The game has a similar feel to Yume Nikki, relying on dream-like visuals and player exploration. This inspiration may be why the Bicycle effect can be found here, as "LSD" is also a drug. The first recorded LSD trip is known as "Bicycle Day" where Swiss chemist Dr. Albert Hofmann ingested the substance and reported intense perception changes. His assistant helped escort him out, and the two rode on bicycles in order for Hofmann to reach his house.

The left design in Graffiti World (the more monkey-like one) appears to have a mudrā-like design on its hand. References to Buddhist beliefs appear throughout the game, and this appears to be one of them. One of the mudrās known as a seal gesture involves facing one's full hands up and forward. The figure seems to make this gesture, considering both of its hands can be seen facing forward in the graffiti.

The right design in Graffiti World (the more face-like one) appears to be representative of evil, which the left figure is warding off. The article draws similarities to its design and Linophryne lucifer, also known as the devilfish. This particular fish can be found in the Indian ocean, which is relevant to the theme of mudrās, as they are practiced particularly in Indian religions. The devilfish also has two appendages on its face, one resembling the lure of an anglerfish and one resembling a long beard. These are both seen in the right design, as the lure holds the Bicycle effect and the end of the "beard" has a Restroom. The connection between this figure and Buddhism is also furthered by the name of the anglerfish/monkfish in Japanese: "アンコウ" (Ankō). The word appears to be derived from "ango" which is a term for a Japanese period of training that Zen Buddhist monks undergo. The English name "monkfish" also literally has "monk" in the name.

Graffiti World overall also seems to be based on chakra, which are vital points associated with a person's life force. The colorful tiles can be compared to the seven rainbow chakras and chakra is also a part of Buddhism (see mudrā section), though Buddhist texts usually only refer to five chakras. The name "chakra" also means "wheel" or "cycle", which may be another explanation for why the Bicycle effect can be found here.

Hell

The maze-like structure of Hell appears to be inspired by the "Man in Maze" symbol created by the Papago Indians of Arizona. Though interpretations of the symbol vary between families, the general consensus is that it represents life, death, and the afterlife. The man in the symbol represents life and the center of death while the maze represents the various choices made during life. The symbol also correlates to I'itoi bring people to the earth from the underworld.

The red Henkei Shita found in Hell may reference a supernatural being described in various religions known as the "preta" or "gaki" (both literally meaning "hungry ghost"). They are often described as having very sunken skin and narrow limbs, though their belly has become overly bloated. They are reincarnations of people who were previously greedy or jealous in a previous life and have been reborn as entities with seemingly insatiable hunger and thirst. Even food and drinks are unable to relieve this suffering, as they turn into fire when touched by a preta, which may align with the common "fire" theme often associated with the underworld. The concept of the preta is described in Taoism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, the latter of which has common themes throughout Yume Nikki.

The article also mentions how the mouth of the Henkei Shita, and how its large stomach could represent a pregnant person, could allude to a caesarean section delivery (more commonly known as simply a C-section).

The staircase leading to the Docks and the gate leading to the Dense Woods may refer to punishments in the lowest layer of Hell in Buddhism. There are areas of boiling hot water (The Docks) and trees made of sword blades that must be climbed (Dense Woods).

KyuuKyuu-kun

The article first compares the landscape in which KyuuKyuu-kun is found, the Number World Stairway, to Diyu. This is essentially what hell in Chinese mythology is called. Within East Asian Buddhism, the color of Diyu is described as pure black, which is an accumulation of the colors of those inhabiting Diyu: the red color of hungry spirits, the yellow color of animals, and the blue color of asura (demigods or titans). These same three colors are also commonly used for oni/demons in Japanese mythology. The overall comparison with these colors if to the "flying man" figures in the background of the area, which sport the same three colors (with the addition of green).

Badge Page Submission Process (WIP)

Making and Submitting Badges

Badges are made by a large array of different artists who have made and submitted artwork to be used as badges. Anyone is able to submit a badge, as long as they have a proposal in mind. Below will be a guide on how badges are submitted, coming up with a badge proposal, and making the art for a badge.

Badges are most often submitted through this Google Form, which has the submitter fill out the information regarding their badge, as well as upload the badge art itself. To view all submissions for badges, this spreadsheet shows all currently unimplemented badges, sorted by their time submitted (as well as a tab for implemented badges).

It is highly recommended to join the YNOproject Discord server to submit badges, get confirmation on an idea for a badge, or receive feedback from other artists, though this is not strictly required for submitting a badge through the badge form or having it be implemented.

Tips

When coming up with a badge to implement into the game, make sure your badge condition isn't shared by an already existing badge. Duplicate badges will not be accepted and, if two or more unimplemented badges are found to have the same condition, it may become difficult to choose which gets implemented, and may also require discussion between each submitter to agree on an outcome.

When thinking of how your badge should be unlocked, it is also recommended that your badge be of something notable in the game you're making it for. This can include visiting deep worlds, experiencing events, encountering special characters or scenes, using effects to make NPCs react, etc. If a badge condition is made that does not seem entirely notable, such as using an effect on an NPC that has the same reaction to it as any other NPC, it may not be accepted for this reason. Badges with specific conditions like this may also be difficult to implement in the first place, as badges largely rely on different triggers, switches, and values found within each game to be unlocked, and hyperspecific conditions can typically not be reasonably tracked by these.

After coming up with an acceptable condition for a badge, it's time to make the art! The artwork that you make must be original and must not include any existing pixel art, whether it originates from the games or not. Badges that feature stolen artwork or tracings of sprites may be suggested to be redone before they are implemented.

As stated before, all badges are a 37x37 image or gif, so it is highly recommended to start with a 37x37 canvas when making a badge. Making a piece of art that is larger than this size and then shrinking it down to fit is not ideal, as shrinking an image down to this size usually lowers the quality of the image, which could make the badge visually difficult to interpret. It's also recommended to center your badge art on the canvas so that it doesn't appear uneven. Your badge art also must at least represent or depict something related to the condition, such as a symbol, character, or landscape related to the event. When making animated badges, multiple of these aspects can even be included.

Examples

Objects/Symbols		These badges depict objects or symbols associated with the condition.
Environments		These badges depict scenes or parts of the world associated with the condition.
Characters		These badges depict characters associated with the condition.

If you are making an animated badge, it is required to also have a still-frame version of the badge that will be used as a chat icon. The still-frame version can be a single frame from the animation or an entirely new piece of badge art that also represents the condition.

Muma Rope

Memories

Memories are collectibles within Muma Rope that replace the usual effects found within many Yume Nikki fan games. While they serve the same purpose of being a group of collectibles that are scattered throughout the game's world, only a few select memories can be actually utilized like effects. When a memory is obtained, it will show up as an orange square on the save screen. There are a total of 28 memories.

Below is a list of memories that can be collected in Muma Rope:
EDITOR'S NOTE: This is just a simple list of the memories, where they can be found, and how. The names of each memory here are tentative, since I'm not sure if they have names, and if they do, I don't know them.

Memory	Location and Method
Neon Die	Rainbow Labyrinth - Found on the top floor after going up five ladders scattered throughout the labyrinth.
Hourglass	Sands of Time - Obtained after waiting for the black pillar displaying the memory to sink into the quicksand.
2600 Artifact	2600 World - Found in one of the ruins, northwest of the town area.
Real Heart	Sanguinary Sea - Located on the heart-shaped island, south of the warp from Thorny Vine World.
Star Wand	The Moon - Found floating on the Moon.
Celestial Jewel	Windy Canyon - Located atop a pillar blocked by two rocks. Can be accessed after activating the Sun pillar and solving the Moon pillar puzzle.
Flute	Owl Swamp - Found in a nest after making three of the five owls sing, excluding the two that sound like brass instruments.
Hand	Puzzle Chamber - Located behind two barriers that can be deactivated by flipping the two levers on the south side of the main puzzle room.
Diamond	Dream Chicago - Obtained after breaking through the glass in the Swimming Pool, which will drop Muma into Dream Chicago.
Knife	Yin Yang Lake - Found east of the figure under the red streetlight after it has been interacted with to turn the lake to its Yin/dark variant.
Void Orb	Stare's Stairs - Found within a dark tunnel with a duplicate Muma. The player Muma will shake hands with the duplicate Muma before the double turns into the memory. If the Knife memory has been obtained prior, the duplicate Muma will stab the player Muma, causing them to turn into the memory as the player now controls the double.
Neon Leaf	Dark Neon Meadow - Located within a grass patch in an occasional extension of the world's middle room.
Totem Egg	Totem Hill - Located on the ground level, north of the gate to the Dark Neon Meadow.
Rainbow Heart	Cyber Cavern - Found after activating the teleportation tile with rainbow particles around it, sending Muma to a unique part of the cavern.
Daikon	Isle of Seasons - Found in the basement of the house during Summer, which only opens after feeding the carrot to the rabbit in the Isle of Seasons.
RBG Substance	Realm of the Orb - Found inside of the world's red variant by placing the orb in the transition room's southeast platform and then taking the left pathway.

Additionally, there are seven extra memories known as Empty Memories (also referred to as Blank Memories). These types of memories are hidden within various worlds and normally require odd means of reaching them. They each take the appearance of a black heart, resembling the pink heart memory gained during the game's tutorial, and are found behind doors resembling the Memory Room door. After they are obtained, Muma will distort to reflect the event or location that led her to the empty memory. When an empty memory is obtained, it will show up as a black square on the save screen. There are a total of 7 empty memories.

Memory	Location and Method
Memory of Static	Memory Room - Find the secret pathway near the Memory Room door.
Memory of Darkness	Retro Dungeon - Walk across the water near the doorway to White Shores.
Memory of Eels	Realm of the Orb - Hold the orb and then press SHIFT to return to the Memory Room. Return to the realm, pick up the orb and get caught by the pursuing eels.
Memory of Vines	Faraway Place - Take the bus again before it leaves after dropping you off once.
Memory of Screams	Monochrome Building (Red) - Pass the balcony and interact with the large sky eye.
Memory of Light	Cloudy Rainbow World - Ride the invisible rainbow onto the cloud with a bump.
Memory of Decay	Sanguinary Ocean - Escape the pipes and swim north of the normal Memory Room door.

Guideline for Editing Badge Pages (WIP)

• Badge images and information are easily accessible from the ynobadges section of the YNO Project GitHub page. If a badge has a hidden condition or art on YNO, it can be seen on the GitHub page for the batch the badge was in.
• Badge filenames have a specific naming scheme that must be followed to keep them sorted. Badge filenames usually consist of one to three words briefly describing the badge (such as its goal or what it depicts), though it is recommended to use as little words as possible for the filename, with two short words being the best. This is followed by, in parentheses, the word "badge" next to two initials signifying which game the badge belongs to. The list of proper initials are listed below:

YN

Some examples of properly named badges are below:

	BikerUro(badgeY2).png
	Busted(badgeOS).gif
	CelestialGardenBluz(badgeY2).gif

It should also be noted that, if a badge is animated (thus it has both a still and animated version), the filenames should still be the same. The file extension (.png and .gif) will be what distinguishes the still and animated version, not the filename.

• When adding a new batch of badges, make sure to add them all at a time. Do not upload some of the badges in a batch without uploading others. Users may want to look for a badge but may see that it is missing while other new badges are present, which creates confusion and inconvenience.
• Make sure to place badges in order of how they appear on YNO (sorted by Map ID). Do not sort badges by artist, number of Badge Points, or when they were added, nor place them simply wherever you want.

The Docks

The Docks is one of the worlds accessible from the Nexus, behind the door that leads to Snow World in the original Yume Nikki.

The Docks is overall very visually similar to its original counterpart. The area is made up of boardwalks surrounded by pitch-black water, although the water structures found on Witch's Island can also be found here and the area is lit by streetlamps and lanterns tied to the boardwalk rather than water lanterns. Several raised platforms, levers, and crates can also be found in the area which make for puzzle and platforming sections. Toriningen also infest the area, which will pursue Madotsuki once she comes into their line of sight. Several 10 Yen Coins can also be found scattered throughout the world.

Upon entry to the world, a single coin can be found on the ground as well as the Fisherman fishing on the edge of the dock. Further right is a vending machine and a pushable crate with a Toriningen blocking the way. Once the crate is pushed into the water, the Toriningen will chase after Madotsuki, forcing her to run back through the area. The Toriningen will stop chasing Madotsuki once it falls into an area with three raised platforms where Madotsuki must climb onto one of them to get out of the Toriningen's line of sight. Atop the middle platform is another coin.

Now able to pass where the Toriningen was, Madotsuki will come across a pulley system and another Toriningen. A crate at the top of the room must be pushed to the left to weigh down one side of the pulley in order to raise a part of the boardwalk to continue. Another coin can be found in this room, though it can only be accessed later when the Toriningen in the room has left. Past the pulley room is another Toriningen atop a raised platform which must be lured to the lower room on the right in order to get past it. Once in the room, Madotsuki must pull a lever once the Toriningen has entered, dropping it down into the water below. When the Toriningen has been dropped, Madotsuki can now traverse the raised platform that the Toriningen originally blocked, which contains a crate that can be pushed into the water below, creating a path to go further into the Docks. Three coins can also be found in this room: below the platform with the lever on it, on the highest platform next to a crate, and on the other side of the broken dock.

At the farthest right section of the Docks is the Traincar, Strober, and another coin that can be picked up. A red sign with a hamsa symbol on it can be found at the side of a platform on the left. Interacting with the platform next to the sign will make Madotsuki rip the planks off of a blocked path, which will both give Madotsuki a Wooden Plank and reveal a secret path where the Hamsa item can be found.

Once Madotsuki has collected enough coins, she can buy something from the vending machine found near the start of the world. For 100 Yen, she can buy a Blood Bag. The Blood Bag can then be given to the Fisherman at the start of the area to be poured in the water, attracting a Sad Fish that the Fisherman will reel in and give to Madotsuki. Once the fish has been obtained, Madotsuki must return to the end of the area again to give it to the hungry Strober. Once Strober has finished its meal, it will hop into the water, unblocking the way for Madotsuki.

Past Strober is a section with a larger lighthouse with a spinning light. The light must be avoided by going behind several pieces of the boardwalk which block the light's oath. Gaps in the boardwalk and a crate that must be pushed to continue will hinder progress. At the end of the dock is a dark, forested island with Nopperabou Witches standing about.

Plot for Yume Nikki: I Am Not in Your Dream (WIP)

Plot

Part 1: You

Madotsuki finds herself in her boring room, observing the many things that decorate it. She examines her carpet, television, desk, and bookshelf, while also heading out to her veranda only to find that things are lifeless and empty both indoors and outdoors. After glancing at the door to exit her room, she stumbles towards her bed and snugly enters the dream world. Upon entering the dream version of her room, Madotsuki instantly feels more lively and notices her dream is a place of freedom. She heads for her dream room's door to exit as her television flashes on, displaying a singular eye that glares at her. Madotsuki creaks open her door and tumbles into the Nexus, catching sight of the floating Paracas figures and the twelve doors that circle around the room. Gazing upon the variety of surreal-looking doors, Madotsuki contemplates what could be behind each and which to open first. She takes into account the appearance and position of the doors before deciding that there is no reasonable choice within the Nexus, and she simply goes for the Nexus's red door.

Madotsuki enters the vast but empty Puddle World as the door floats behind her. Despite the motionless environment, Madotsuki begins walking to explore the area, stepping through the puddles as they shift between clear water and muddy bacteria-filled filth. She steps into one of the puddles, seeing the reflection of herself and the cloudy sky. As the ripples in the puddles distort Madotsuki's reflection, the image of her in the puddle morphs into a man and woman arguing, only growing more distorted with more water ripples. Madotsuki simply continues through the world, running from the distorted reflection that seems to follow her, until she trips over a small umbrella on the ground. Out of curiosity, she grabs the umbrella and opens it, causing it to rain. The rain dispels the reflection of the arguing couple, putting Madotsuki's worries to rest and she continues through the empty Puddle World.

The puddles of the world Madotsuki explores continue to retain the sound of the arguing couple, though they are simply drowned out by the pattering of the rain. Madotsuki suddenly sees a stairwell in the distance, closing her umbrella and curiously heading inside to see what lies at the bottom. She enters the Dense Woods, surrounded by outstretched trees that obstruct her view, and is instantly attracted to the out-of-place vending machine. However, Madotsuki finds out that she has no change and can not purchase one of the many drinks the machine offers, walking away in defeat. The road cutting through the Dense Woods lies in front of her, stretching infinitely through the trees. She walks along the road before realizing she is becoming bored as she loops around, heading nowhere until she sees a humanesque figure in the distance. Upon rushing towards the figure, she realizes it is not a human, but rather a man-sized Jellyfish, a creature resembling a cluster of organs. Disgusted, she runs away from the creature as it simply continues to stand in place, emitting the noise of a ringing bell as Madotsuki plugs her ears and continues to flee.

As Madotsuki runs from the Jellyfish, she notices that the scenery around her has changed despite continuing along the same road. The trees have disappeared and Floyag hover above Madotsuki, watching her travel through the corpse-reeking path. Eyes sprout from the Floyag as Madotsuki feels their presence, prompting her to run back with a nervous feeling. The sea of trees comes into her sight as she once again enters the forested area of the Dense Woods, relieved after escaping the Floyag who simply watched her. She opens the umbrella once again on a now stoplight-filled road with lights flickering between red and yellow. Suddenly, Madotsuki catches sight of a corpse on the road in front of her. The body rots in the rain as Madotsuki squats beside it, contemplating the aspects of death and life. Above her, one of the stoplights swings about before snapping off its pole and landing on her head, flickering between "stop" and "go" states. After getting hit, Madotsuki weakly stands up, now with the stoplight fully surrounding her like a costume. She stumbles about with her legs emerging from the stoplight's base, flicking between the red and green lights out of amusement. However, she is unable to see in front of her, and is grabbed by a red tentacle emerging from a nearby manhole, which drags her in.

Falling through the manhole, Madotsuki lands at the bottom largely unharmed, though the rough landing causes her clothes to become tattered and the stoplight to crack, as it absorbed most of the fall. The stoplight crumbles and falls apart, leaving behind a mere pile of dust and shards. Inside the manhole lies Manhole-sama, who leaves Madotsuki horrified as it looks at her with a vulgar expression. Noticing her clothes are tattered, she shields herself with her hands and quickly climbs a red string near the end of Manhole-sama's room, noticing that Manhole-sama's hands are growing closer. She makes it out of Manhole-sama's room through a hole at the top of the string, vomiting from exhaustion as soon as she makes it to the top. She looks around at the scenery, now finding she is in the White Desert in front of a large head looking at her with bloodshot eyes. As the rain continues to fall, Madotsuki once again opens up her umbrella to shield herself. She moves around the head, attempting to avoid its gaze, before finding an entrance that she reluctantly enters.

The path within the head stretches across a large expanse, resembling clouds and pitch-black charcoal. As Madotsuki continues she comes across the Thing with the Quivering Jaw, terrified by the creature as it snarls and grinds its teeth. Madotsuki plugs her ears to ignore the grinding noise, though she finds that she is also grinding her own teeth. She holds and lowers her head in horror before her hand slips down her face, leaving her fingers to pinch her cheek. She awakens, pulling away the blankets and taking a deep breath before realizing that it was all a dream. Madotsuki hastily grabs her diary and writes about the details of her dream, eventually exhausting her as she lies her head down once more and the diary slips from her hands.

Madotsuki returns to the Nexus and decided to check the various doors before fully heading to their associated dream world. She decides that she will simply creak open the doors, and if the world inside feels uneasy, she will close the door and choose another. One of the doors catches Madotsuki's attention despite its drab color scheme, as beyond it is a pale snowscape with falling snow. Relieved by the peaceful land, she opens the umbrella that she has taken a liking to and takes a stroll through Snow World. She rolls up and throws snowballs, falls into the snow, and is even covered by snow when a branch suddenly shakes some loose, though she suddenly sees a cluster of igloos that she goes to investigate. Madotsuki crawls inside the igloos, looking about until she comes across Kamakurako who is sleeping peacefully within one of the igloos. The small girl reminds Madotsuki of her younger self, which causes her to think about the much more playful nature of being a child. As Madotsuki reaches out to Kamakurako, a figure appears in the igloo's doorway. A small Yuki-onna appears before her, small enough to be held in her hand. Madotsuki also reaches for the Yuki-onna, though it flees from her, which results in Madotsuki chasing after it. Madotsuki scoops up the Yuki-onna, holding it close as the small creature becomes docile, simply resting in her arms. As Madotsuki cradles the Yuki-onna, the blizzard obscures where the igloo cluster was, and the Yuki-onna begins to melt into water as Madotsuki is simply left standing in the cold snowscape.

Suddenly, Madotsuki spots another igloo in the distance, though it is strangely alone instead of in a group. She approaches, only for the head of a strange creature to emerge from the snow hut, causing Madotsuki to express great disgust. A single Toriningen appears, simply standing around as Madotsuki observes its odd facial features. Disgusted by the creature, Madotsuki instead collects some of the snow around the igloo only to find a familiar sight: the stoplight she previously obtained in the Dense Woods. Despite the stoplight shattering in the White Desert, she pulls it out of the snow and puts it over her head. As the Toriningen walks towards Madotsuki, she flicks the stoplight's red light and tells the creature to stop, comically petrifying the Toriningen in place. Now that it has been stopped, Madotsuki turns to run from the Toriningen, though she trips over some snow and once again breaks the stoplight into bits. The Toriningen unfreezes and continues to wander about, though Madotsuki quickly runs away. She comes across a bed, another out-of-place object in the dream world, and leaps in as the Toriningen draws close. While under the covers, the Toriningen patrols nearby as Madotsuki looks for something in the bed to help her out. She once again finds the Yuki-onna and holds it close, though it transforms into a pair of clothing resembling the one the Yuki-onna wears. Madotsuki changes under the bed's covers and emerges, resembling a Yuki-onna to confront the Toriningen. Uninterested in her new appearance, the Toriningen walks away as Madotsuki lets out a sigh of relief. Now with the tall creature gone, Madotsuki looks about for another igloo, this time finding one with a small, discolored spring inside. She reaches out to the water of the spring, splashing it onto her face, though she quickly finds herself in another world entirely.

The Pink Sea surrounds Madotsuki as she finds herself in the world's expansive body of water. She playfully splashes through the water before climbing onto one of the sea's rocky islands. Beside her floats a single balloon, which she grabs onto. The balloon floats upward and takes Madotsuki across the sea, flowing in the wind before deflating and landing next to another balloon, which Madotsuki grabs onto again. Madotsuki is taken into the sky, so high that the environment grows cold and her breath grows visible. She wiggles her arms and legs in a panic before seeing another island below. Letting go of the balloon, she falls straight onto the island, though she is unharmed despite landing on her back. Before Madotsuki is a large tent made up of many colors, which she enters, finding that inside is a cute room with a soft bed, pictures depicting landscapes, and neatly arranged books on a bookshelf and desk. Dazed by the comforting room, Madotsuki suddenly notices that there was another girl standing before her all along. Poniko suddenly speaks, apologizing for the mess and questioning if Madotsuki needs anything, to which Madotsuki simply responds with a light muffled sound.

Part 2: Me

Poniko, confused about what to say to Madotsuki, calms herself and welcomes her visitor. She offers Madotsuki to sit on the cushion in her room, though Madotsuki continues to show no reaction and simply stares at Poniko. Madotsuki wanders toward the bookshelf to look at Poniko's books, though they are revealed to all be identical, having the contents of Madotsuki's dream diary within all of them. Some familiar worlds such as "Red Umbrella" and "Stoplight" are scrawled inside, though there are various fainter words that are not quite clear, such as "Frog", "Witch", and "Lamp". Some other words, not as pleasant, appear in the diary such as "Severed Head". Poniko continues to show the book to Madotsuki, telling her that she wants to escape the nightmarish dream world, which she is assumes is also Madotsuki's goal.

Yume Nikki Steam Version Stupidness

This is a list of various errors, oversights, or utterly confusing stuff that is present in the English Steam release of Yume Nikki, of which was not present in the original Japanese release or fan-translation.

• In any of the FC Worlds (FC House, FC Worlds A and B, and FC Dungeon), the Umbrella effect does not make any effect action noise if Madotsuki is facing left. This is due to the sound erroneously not being set to play while facing this direction.
• The heartbeat sound that typically plays when Tokuto-kun is tipped over does not play. This is due to the sound file having a different name than what is called for.
• There are two specific candles in Candle World that, when stabbed with the Knife effect, transform into an unused light graphic instead of the intended unlit candle graphic.
• Both the FC Pirori and FC menu cursor, which share the same sounds, are completely silent. This is due to the sound file having a different name than what is called for. Interestingly, the Lizardmen use the same noise but do not have this error.
• Normally, a fade to black occurs when getting into the Spaceship bed. This is absent in the English Steam version.
  • There are also fade-in and fade-out transitions for the Spaceship crash cutscene, although these are also absent.
• Move Routes with sounds tend to play sounds with incorrect speed or volume. This is most noticeable when teleporting with the Medamaude effect, which has a distinctly different sound between versions.
• If the player equips the Stoplight effect, switches it to red, and interacts with the Mall Toriningen to make their menu theme colored red, the popup text for changing the menu theme will display as garbled text.
• The initial English Steam release had some of the effects named differently in the effect menu. This was fixed in a patch, but the different names still remained in the FC menu and when picking up the effects. They were named the following:
  • Get Fat (Fat effect)
  • Whistle (Flute effect)
  • Talking Head (Severed Head effect)
  • Devil (Demon effect)
  • Game Info (Instructions)
    • In the FC menu, the Instructions are also named "Game Explanation" instead.
• The Midget effect is misspelled "Miget" in the FC menu if all of the effects have been obtained.

Yume Nikki fans powerscaling their characters from a game with zero fighting

Okay but like what if they hypothetically just all started fighting like this would be so cool

Alley Demon	I don't think this thing does anything. Like does it just look scary at things because all it does is walk.
Aztec Rave Monkey	Is both a normal being as well as a background for two worlds. Could it technically be sentient land? Does this mean it's GIANT and could just easily destroy two different worlds if it wanted?
Batsu	Actual plant they just dance around. Can't move anywhere. People will chop these down and eat the eyes like fruits.
Big Red	HUGE CREATURE IT COULD DEFINITELY DESTROY A LOT! Literally contains all of Windmill World this instantly kills a grand total of two characters unless they somehow find a way to destroy him from the inside.
Black Cat	It's just sort of a cat. Same situation as the Frog where it's really just some animal I mean a cat has like sharp teeth and claws and it's agile it'd probably be a good companion?
Bloody Touching Monster	ANother giant that could easily destroy things. Limited to Uboa's Trap though... If anything touches Uboa then they get sent to this monster and they basically instantly die.
Body Parts	Assuming they can collectively do things they could probably be pretty strong. Legs can move about and kick. Arms can throw punches, grab things, scratch things, and maybe move around. Mouth can bite but can't really move. The eyes just sort of sit there and look around.
Brain Creature	One of the four huge creatures of the White Desert. It's stuck in the ground and also in-between two tiny holes in heads so idk if it's able to get out of there.
Buyo Buyo	I don't think this thing can do anything I mean it died to the Seahorse already so it's proven it can't fight back. If you threw it it would probably be like a bouncy ball or it would make a dodgeball noise lmao.
Closet Creature	They hide in their closets because they know the horrors of war await for them outside People could probably throw them as a heavy projectile lol
Closet Madotsuki	Basically the god-like Madotsuki but they don't come out of this one closet and probably can't do anything god-like Same situation as the Closet Creature just throw them
Cube Guru	I don't think this thing can do that much it sort of sits there. It's a guru so maybe it has like meditation maybe they are secretly super strong
Dave Spector	Another thing that sort of just walks around If someone kills one of them and enters that one tunnel they could get access to either Monoe or the Severed Heads but they get to choose only one of the two.
Dekishi-san	Literally drowning and waving for help. Can't even swim probably can't fight.
Dropfish	Able to swim but I don't think it can leave the water. Other than that it just swims and flashes colors there isn't much. For some reason I imagine somebody carrying it around and just squeezing it like a water gun so maybe just a harmless weapon.
Dwarf	Super fast and small so obviously pretty agile and hard to hit. Also wields a sword but it's super small so imagine toothpick levels of power.
E-Man	Looks weird but he's largely just a normal dude. Don't think he really does anything I mean he'd probably just be sitting in his chair this entire fight
Eye People	TONS of them. They might be stuck behind the Eye Box though I don't know if they could get out of there somehow but if they can you have yourself an army with good eyesight.
FACE	Okay so basically it's like a Pandora's Box situation where FACE can't move or do anything to move but if you specifically go to its door and open it you will instantly die as well as unleash an unholy force upon the war that will result in great death. Basically like a nuke but not even you survive. It just takes over everything.
Falling Men	They just sort of fall in the distance and probably don't do anything else. Probably normal people anyway
FC Demon	Can probably summon lightning and thunder another NPC with magical powers. Maybe also has the power to teleport between locations like in the FC World and FC House?
Fisherman	I think he's just a normal dude he just likes to fish. Okay imagine how people use fishing rods for combat in Minecraft he would probably try that and immediately get beaten up.
Fleebie	Runs away from things it's probably not useful. It is another ghost though so it's probably got the same deal with only ghost characters being able to hit or kill them.
Floyag	Idk what these things would even do like they look like they could be threatening but in what way???? They sort of just float there and stare at you genuinely what would they do...
Follony	Another ghost character, same ghost rules. Not much difference from the Nopperabou Ghost and Fleebie.
Frog	A literal frog. Not much else to say just imagine a normal frog in a fight. There is more than one so they already have at least one good thing. Double frog alliance.
Ghostmen	Also ghost rules. Again, not much they really do to signify they could hurt anybody.
Goblins	They have their own little army and they wield swords. Large one could probably do some damage. Small ones too. Sort of like the situation with the Dwarf but they are normal-sized.
Goppa	Probably stationary and stuck in the Footprint Path. Tbh these things look like they would die easily even if they have that giant mouth thing.
Guillotine	It's an object and can't really move but it's a guillotine and could probably actually kill things in very specific situations. Toriningens from Guillotine World could probably use it and carry it as a weapon. If you want to be super technical there are two of them so you have like dual blades if the Toriningen just decided to destroy them both solely for their blades like that would be so awesome like imagine some cool double-blade-wielding Toriningen like actually so cool.
Henkei Shita	Okay it would be pretty cool if these things got up and walked around because they are like very tanky-looking characters. Betting they could genuinely do some damage if they went into battle.
Isee	What do they do they are just eyes????? Isee type stare
Ittan-momen	Based on the yokai that flies and strangles people to death so yeah already a threat. It's basically made of paper you could destroy this thing easily with like fire or your bare hands.
Jellyfish	They sort of only appear when there's death so expect these things to be everywhere. I imagine these things wouldn't even fight like one would appear every time somebody dies and they would just be sort of standing on the battlefield ominously and won't react to anything.
KALIMBA	Not real. Stuck inside a TV. There are possibly an infinite number of them and yet they are stuck inside a TV this is so sad.
Kamakurako	Just sleeps all day. Does nothing. Actual small child. Can not fight.
Kimajo	It's a short dead tree I don't think it could do that much. I imagine somebody would find them, cut them down, and use them as a battering ram just so they didn't feel bad about their inability to move.
Kinoko-san	Wait these could probably be commanded by the FC Demon they are kinda like their pets. Idk what they would do though probably hop around at most. Release spores?
Kisu-Tenmetsu	Sort of the same situation with Dropfish where it just swims and flashes colors. I think somebody will probably just like grab it out of the water and flash it in people's faces like a strobe as a weapon.
KyuuKyuu-kun	To be honest he looks happy where he is he'd probably just take hits if he was found and die smiling. Probably not even fight back either that or he'd slither away like a worm lol.
Lizardmen	There are multiple spread throughout FC World A and B they could probably form an alliance. They sort of just wander around and speak numbers idk what they would do.
Madotsuki	Literal god of all of these things. Wakes up and they all disappear. Utilizes the effects. Actual child. Would probably get destroyed if they got hit by anything lethal.
Madotsuki's Ghost	Also follows ghost rules but it's Madotsuki so hypothetically could it be just as powerful? Could it collect effects? Imagine Madotsuki but can't be hit or killed by things that aren't ghosts this would be extremely powerful.
Mafurako	I don't think the invisibility will do a lot unless she's just not wearing the hat and scarf. Can teleport which is pretty good.
Mall Shoppers	They are literally just normal people that look weird. Maybe the distortion they get could be of some advantage? No clue how that could be helpful though.
Manhole-sama	One of the four big White Desert creatures. Only thing it can really do is move its tentacles out of holes in the ground and that's it. Probably some good trap it just can't really move.
Mars-san	He's big and he looks like he could do some damage but he's too depressed and just stands there and cries. Even then how is he going to fight? He's stuck underground and the only exit is a tiny hole. Even if he breaks through, he's literally on another planet alone.
Maussan Bros	Literally the Mall Shoppers but no distortion effects. Some normal dudes. They just stand there what else do they do? You could push them off the cliff they stand on since they're distracted so often.
Medamaude	It's an arm so it could probably grab things and throw some punches. Can maybe move with its fingers. Medamaude effect so probably teleporting powers? That'd be pretty cool.
Merutomaro	It doesn't really do a lot. It's made of slime so maybe it's just really hard to harm since it's just a pile of goop?
Mizume	Water creature that just sort of...sits there. Doesn't even move I assume it's either useless in battle or super powerful.
Monoe	Teleportation powers again which is good. That's really all they have to be honest.
Monoko	Gets literally five arms they could do a lot with that. They spin during the event you know they would whip those moves out in the middle of a fight.
Mouth Monsters	Like 40% mouth with giant teeth they could do serious bite damage but they are just like blobs of hair. Poop Hair one is just located all the way down in Underground World how is it going to get anywhere but the Spaceship with the fire in the way.
Namekuji	Also ghosts. More ghost rules. Idk they could probably drown other ghosts in their spit lol or just annoy them by hovering over them constantly.
NASU	Doesn't exist lol. Not counting the event in 0.09 since it's unused. Like seriously what would this thing do in a fight? Jump? Eat eggplants? C'mon.
Nekoin	It just spins around and is cute and small Actually it probably gives good fortune or something to those it fights alongside? It's located in Shield-Folk World and they have an entire army which would be extremely overpowered if they just had one coin that gives luck and fortune.
Nenrikido	They don't even seem to be sentient? Are they just objects that move around? They honestly just seem sort of helpful for getting to locations rather than wanting to fight.
Neon Creatures	There are so many of them like Neon World alone consists of an army + their labyrinth They could actually swarm people if they wanted to and just kill them. The worm-like ones can still wiggle when frozen by the Stoplight effect. This is huge. This means they are still able to attack despite the strong freezing effects of the Stoplight effect.
Neon Parrot	I think this is just the same as Strober it just sort of flashes colors and not much else. Part of the Neon World army so it's basically just one unique guy among a ton of same-looking guys.
Nopperabou Ghost	Literal ghost so idk if it can die or be hit (let's just assume other ghosts can hit each other). This thing doesn't really do much either.
Nopperabou Witches	They are witches so maybe they practice magic? Other than that they just sort of stand about.
O-Man	Sort of like E-Man he just sits there but instead of doing nothing he plays music. I imagine he just starts playing appropriate fight music while sitting in the middle of the battlefield.
Onsen-san	Pretty big in size but they don't really do anything. Can they even get up like they look like they can't really stand well?
Organoid	Another teleporter but they teleport as soon as you get close they are like extremely particular with teleporting. Again not much else they just teleport.
Pain Blob	Probably can't do much other than roll. They would likely be attacked and feel immense amounts of pain but would still survive and not die so they just live in pain.
Pier Monsters	Sort of just heads sticking out of the ground. They don't really do anything.
Pirori	These things are located everywhere they could probably take over quickly. A whole VILLAGE dedicated to these things they already have set up camp. They could probably just slap people and they get teleported wherever lol
Pissipissini	Just sort of hide in the dark. They turn invisible if scared so that may make them...okay.
Poniko	Considering she and Uboa are the same she might be super strong. Gotta walk across ALL that water to do anything lol
Seahorse	Has canonically killed Buyo Buyo it has zero mercy in its dark soul. The Pirori probably plucked it from the ground and use it as a weapon to drain the insides of enemies while keeping the Seahorse fed.
Sea Snake	Just a literal snake that swims. Could probably just be used as a real snake. Extra deadly if venomous.
Seccom Masada	To be honest he would probably just flee immediately. He has an entire vehicle he can pilot he would definitely just shoot into space to not deal with any of this. No clue what he would do other than that he would just fly away and never return.
Severed Blue Head	Literally just a gate it barely moves. If somebody is dumb enough to go near it or attempt going into its mouth for the Footprint Path they WILL die and it will be one of this creature's few wins in this war.
Severed Heads	Sorta just float around and not much else. Someone could probably pick them up and throw them and they immediately lose all traction and float back upward lol.
Shield Folk	Genuinely prepared for battle. All of them have shields and can form phalanxes. Actual army awaiting in a single world just like Neon and Number World. Betting they own other weapons.
Shitai-san	Okay he LOOKS dead but the Cat effect makes him twitch so he's like on the edge of death.......probably. Does this hypothetically make him some sort of being between the living and dead realms that allows him to interact with the normal characters and ghost characters and he by some extremely small chance could kill all of them if he was strong but the only thing limiting him is the fact he's a corpse and lost a large amount of blood and can't get up and do anything like could he get up like a zombie and just start throwing hands with both alive entities and ghosts?
Steve Kareha	Snail. Think about if a snail entered a fight. Think about it.
Strober	I don't think this thing does anything other than eat and flash colors it doesn't do that much. Pretty tall I guess?
Submarine Fish	Another swimming creature situation where they just sort of swim around and nothing else. Likes to stay submerged? Maybe just hidden during the whole thing.
Takofuusen	One of the four large White Desert creatures. The only one that isn't stuck in some small space and can actually fly freely. Probably could be used as transport if someone is able to get on it.
Tasei's Kid	Just the entry above but they can't submerge underwater. They don't even swim around they just lay in the water.
Thing with the Quivering Jaw	One of the four large White Desert creatures. Just imagine a humungous beast that can be tamed to destroy things. Stuck in a small space though so no idea how it'd get out of where it resides. Probably just eats anyone who attempts to enter its area to tame it lol.
Tokuto-kun	Probably can't even stay upright they will fall over and spill everything. Probably extremely shy too idk why they would just not want to fight they have stick limbs.
Toriningen	Genuinely think they would be one of the most overpowered forces during this war. They are literally everywhere in the dream world. Also has a group dynamic that is an IN-GAME FUNCTION. They would immediately attempt to destroy everyone.
Train Passengers	They sort of just sit in the train and that's it... If they got a hold of how the traincar works though they could probably destroy a lot.
Uboa	Genuinely one of the strongest characters. Just charge into battle and if anything even touches you they are sent into a looping trap where you're then destroyed by the Bloody Touching Monster.
UFOs	No clue how big they are but if they're like Masada's ship they could probably put up a fight if they have weapons strapped to the ship. They sort of just hover in the distance though and observe so idk what they would be doing during this time.
Walking Candles	They just walk. Imagine having absolutely nothing notable about you other than walking around and it's literally in your name that all you do is walk.
Walking Eye	Also just walks. Probably good eyesight idk. Same joke with the Walking Candles.
Walking Lamp	idk man this thing is just a lamp with shoes like can it even see. You could shatter this dude by kicking him.
Warpo and Loople	They might know their way around the Teleport Maze? They do not do much.
Wheelies	There are sooooo many of them they also have an army. Most abundant in the whole game. They don't have arms but they can kick things and they are wheels so they could just ram into anything probably.
Yuki-onna	Mythical creature that has ice powers and can create snow storms. Pretty powerful. Super small can literally be punted like a football. Also super shy just runs away from stuff.
Zippertile	Literally a piece of a wall. Its whole existence is being stabbed. Maybe a reliable guard for the horrid FACE.

Yume Nikki Illumination-style movie (semi-trailer) script drafts

This idea was conceived somewhere in early 2023 and the first drafts were made mid-2023. These were based on a conversation about a hypothetical Yume Nikki movie, but done as an animated family comedy film with typical crude or awkward/relatable humor, with the idea primarily likened to memes based on children's animated films or stereotypical "Illumination-style films" (for example, this audio sketch based on the then-unreleased Super Mario movie).

The first scripts were made by me on June 25th, 2023 and everything ranges from between that time and October 2023. The entire idea behind this was to make it as cringey as a kid's film could be and have extremely dumb trendy or goofy humor. During the time this concept has been around, a storyboard and fully-made script have been considered, but currently do not exist and would likely take a significant amount of time to make. Below is all the stuff from Notes that I had plus stuff that occasionally gets added whenever something comes to mind. It is largely just vague scenes, possible trailer cuts, and some extra notes, all listed in the order I believe they would play out in the hypothetical film, but here is everything:

 Stupid movie trailer concept based on Yume Nikki hypothetically directed by Illumination. Typical crude + awkward humor = funny type stuff.
 
 THIS SUMMER
 > Various close-up shots of Madotsuki's Room as a magical, soothing tune plays.
 YOU'LL BE LIVING
 > Zooms in on Mado's diary, which magically opens up with sparkles.
 THE DREAM
 > The music rises to a climax as the pages turn before Mado suddenly slams her hands on the table, interrupting the music and page flipping.
 Mado: Alrighty...so what did I dream about today?
 > Flip to a super quick montage of stuff in her dreams as she explains them.
 Mado: Splashed in some mud, saw a dead guy, got claustrophobic, got chased by some weird bird people, aaaand got my head chopped off.
 > Last shot is of Mado in the Guillotine. The montage abruptly ends before the Guillotine chops her head off, cutting back to Madotsuki chewing on her pen.
 Mado: Eh, pretty boring dream, I guess. (She begins writing in the diary anyway)
 
 
 > Cut to outside shot of Poniko's House.
 Mado: Um, excuse me...but who the heck are you?
 Poniko: I'm a girl with a curse, locked away in this little room in the middle of a vast ocean...
 Mado: No, I mean, like, what's your name?
 Poniko: Oh...I don't have one...
 Mado: I'll call you...Poniko! Cuz you got that crazy ponytail!
 Poniko: Well, my hair actually looks like this...
 > Poniko undoes a tie in her hair and it flows out all over the place. A majestic light emits from behind her as a heavenly chorus sings.
 > Mado looks on with sparkling, open eyes before closing them again and saying:
 Mado: Eh, I kind of like it better in a ponytail.
 
 
 > Madotsuki, Poniko, and Masada are all inside Masada's spaceship, which is crash-landing and falling at a rapid rate.
 > Masada is facing the organ (which is half a control panel in the film) nervously before turning towards Mado and Poniko and stating:
 Masada: Don't worry new friends! I've had TONS of ship training. I know how we can get out of this!
 > He turns back towards the keyboard and it is a cluttered mess of buttons, levers, piano keys, and flashing lights.
 Masada: What about... (he presses a random button on the control panel)
 Control Panel: ACCELERATING ACTIVATED
 Masada: GOSH DARNIT!
 > The ship speeds up its crash landing as everybody goes flying to the back wall of the ship before they hit Mars.
 
 
 > Shows a POV shot from the Neon Tile Path, facing the connection to Neon World. The beginning of PSY's "Gangnam Style" can be heard coming from Neon World.
 > Next shot is of Mado, Poniko, and Masada entering Neon World followed by an above shot of the world with everyone dancing like it's a rave. Gangnam Style is now fully playing.
 Mado: This party is so...
 > Cut to Mado doing the floss dance.
 Mado: ...freaking...
 > Cut to Masada twerking towards the screen.
 Mado: ...LIT!!!!!
 > Cut to Poniko breakdancing, doing a super fast spin that transforms her into Uboa. The music stops with a record scratch and all of the Neon Creatures stop dancing and stare at her.
 Random Neon Creature: ...IT'S THE MONSTER OF THE PINK SEA!!!
 > All of the Neon Creatures flee while screaming in terror.
 Mado: (her eyes open up accompanied by a glass shattering sound) ...woah.
 Masada: (he is still dancing in the background) Well THAT was awkward!
 
 
 > Mado, Poniko, and Masada all enter Guillotine World, which is shown to be a large city solely populated by Toriningen (which are only referred to as "bird people" throughout the whole film).
 Mado: Oh no, not here...these bird people are kinda... (swirls finger around the side of her head while making coocoo noises)
 Masada: Relaaax, guys! You've just got to act natural.
 > It is silent for a moment before Masada starts "acting natural" around the Toriningen, putting his arms on his sides and pecking at the ground like a bird/chicken while squawking loudly.
 > This only alerts the Toriningen, who all turn towards the trio menacingly as their eyes glow pink.
 Masada: (he nervously gulps) Well, that didn't work...
 Poniko: RUN!
 
 
 Additional vague plot structure:
 Madotsuki goes to her dream world and meets Poniko and the two of them then meet Masada. They follow Masada around, even though Masada encourages them to leave him alone, but they are all seen by Mars-san, who is Masada's boss. Mars-san is the antagonist of the film and acts sort of as a tyrannical boss/king-like figure.
Mars-san does not take kindly to Masada leading normal humans into his dream realm, so he sentences them up for execution.
The three plead and Madotsuki makes a deal with Mars-san: if the three of them can return to Mars-san with the 24 effects found throughout the dream world after 3 days, then they get to live.
The film follows the three of them embarking on their quest for the effects, entering dangerous dream worlds and meeting strange scenarios.
 
 
 Additional character personalities:
 
 MAJOR CHARACTERS
 
 Madotsuki
 One of the three protagonists. Very goofy and jolly, often the one to deliver dumb one-liners relating to the current situation, or just in general giving commentary.
There is a running gag where certain events, like scary or stunning things, cause her typically-closed eyes to pop open. Vaguely like a typically goofy teenager with a normally upbeat personality.
 
 Poniko
 Very closed-off and a bit quiet, though still makes conversation with Mado and Masada.
One plot point of the movie is that she is "cursed" with the power to turn into Uboa and needs to learn how to control this power, as she often transforms into Uboa at the worst times and is
feared as the "Monster of the Pink Sea". By the end of the film, she learns to take control of her power and use it for good to help her friends in a bad situation.
 
 Masada
 Quite possibly the goofiest of them all. Very squash-and-stretch and either constantly anxious or a slight nerd who believes he has everything under control when he typically doesn't.
Very anxious unless he's just having fun. He is a servant/employee to Mars-san, so both his job and life are on the line during this adventure. Typically the center of the slapstick or awkward
comedy bits.
 
 
 SUPPORTING CHARACTERS
 
 Monoe
 Virtually a celebrity in the White Desert, she's said to know her way around the entire dream world and know many important figures. A "popular girl" figure somewhat.
She is able to help the dreamers navigate some of the effects but doesn't tag along.
 
 Monoko
 Tags along right behind Monoe, even though not as popular and pretty dimwitted compared to her. She cheers her on and essentially just supports her while backing off White Desert paparazzi.
 
 
 
 Idk how I'm going to incorporate any of the other popular characters into this I would need to do actual heavy scriptwriting for this if I wanted to.

Stairs in YN

There are a lot!!!!

World	Where are the Stairs
Puddle World	The pink tunnel that leads to Dense Woods A appears to be a stairwell of some sort, telling by the extra lower pixels inside of it.
Number World	The world contains a stairway sub-area leading to the FACE event.
Hell	A set of stairs leading downward leads to the Docks B.
Static Tunnel	The icon used to enter FC World A from here is a set of stairs.
FC House	The basement is filled with stairs, especially long sets of them.
FC World A, B, and Dungeon	Stair tiles are used to go into deeper areas or different rooms in the areas outside of the overworld (such as entering the FC Dungeon, the isolated section from FC House, the entrance to Buyo Buyo's location, and the paths to different rooms within the FC Dungeon).
White Desert B	The way from FC Dungeon is a set of stairs. Madotsuki must also climb a set of stairs to exit the White Desert Lagoon as well.
Docks A	The entrance from the Sewers (by using the Midget effect to get to the hallway leading here) is a stairway.
Docks B	Same staircase as the one in Docks A visually, albeit it leads to Hell instead.
Dense Woods A	The same tunnel/stairwell warp is used here as is done in Puddle World.
The Wilderness	A small set of stairs can be found in the Hot Spring House while a very tall set of stairs can be found leading up to the Sky Garden.
Sky Garden	Has a set of stone brick stairs leading from the Wilderness.
Sewers	The pathway accessed with the Midget effect has a set of stairs leading up to the Docks A.
The Mall	The Mall appears to use escalators, which are simply automatically-moving staircases.
Staircase of Hands	The whole area is a staircase.
Underground World	Also contains a set of stairs, leading down from the Staircase of Hands. A very tiny stairstep is also before the room with the Mouth Monster.
Spaceship	Once crashed on Mars, a staircase will come down from the Spaceship to allow access to the area.
Mars	Some sets of stairs lead down into the Mars Underground. While unused, there was also originally intended to be a set of stairs instead of a hole atop the Mars Summit.
Madotsuki's Room	A set of stairs is ultimately what allows the player to access the ending and for Madotsuki to jump from the balcony.
