He also created the Penguin minigame._ _"Last update: 6 May 2024"_ ...Now that you have all the tools, I wonder how naturally these world's secrets will come to you...? ...Regardless, I'd actually like to know what _you_ think this game's story is, with what you've seen so far. What _Urotsuki's_ story is. Why these dreams are full of the symbols and structures that we see, why some have more power than others... Which are symbolism, which are memory, and which are indicative of something else altogether...? ...I got my own theories, but I would love to trade ideas~!
A story? I haven't really thought much about that, honestly. I can certainly feel the Yume Nikki worship in the game's structure and the endings I've seen thus far. But ahhh... I'm not in it for the story. It's a detractor from the experience for me at the moment. Urotsuki is a self insert for me. Just wandering around, exploring vast endless dreams. Exploring the psyche and creativity of many passionate and talented people. Hearing the variety of music. These things alone, have motivated me to keep going. I am living in the moment in this game. Any time for a retrospective may be possible when I'm done with it, but mustering up the willpower to pull myself from mindlessly experiencing everything while I'm still playing is in vein. I love this game. A lot. It's such an open-ended game, that many people will gleam different things from it. For me, it's what I see. What I hear. And how it feels. At times, maybe even how the dream worlds may be affecting subconscious. I had a dream a few days ago where I was exploring strange worlds. An endless garage. Black columns with a little computer on wheels that chases you around. A fast food parlor where all the food is strange color variants of burgers. This dream occured when I went to sleep directly after recording and editing part 15. Yeah, I guess that's about as much of a connection to this game as I can think of. I also really have enjoyed observing the world more since these games have entered my life. Whether it's nature, my experiences with people, or my time spent on other video games. I'm more in tune with the entirety of the artistic direction and emotions, taking in everything I notice and building that personal vibe with it. I used to be a bit distant from that feeling, now inches away.
... ...Y'know what, @@bluei-j5e? Yeah. I get it. I think I'll still prompt for (relatively (probably)) smaller theories, like _"What's the significance of the Twin Mountains?",_ or _"What are the Teleport Runes and why are they everywhere?",_ or even why the game has both extremely nautical themes or extremely astronomical themes, and why do they occassionally appear _bled together..._ ...but, yeah, i guess it's okay not to want to find a bigger picture to it all. ...and maybe that's for the best. after all, the greatest mysteries of the dream are often not as captivating as the little thoughtforms we find dancing in it, hmhmhm~... ...we're always happier to stop and smell the pinetrees.
