THAT LOOKS AMAZING
I've gotten a certain question alot pertaining to if certain games will be featured in the mod, like Undertale, which the answer is a hard "NO". It's not that i don't like Undertale (or any of the other RPGs ive been asked about) but the problem is that Undertale wasn't made in RPGMaker, which is the engine that this mod aims to celebrate.
Our logo is even specifically designed after RPGMaker MV's logo to really really try to specify the fact that this mod focuses on games made in a particular engine, not RPGs in general. Hell it's a stretch to call YumeNikki an RPG as it really doesn't retain any of those gameplay elements. And there's lots of other great games made in the engine that are objectively not RPGs, like Your Turn to Die which is a visual novel made in the engine!
There is however a selection of games made in the right engine that are still being excluded from the mod for a variety of reasons. The big two are the games that are already extremely popular and have existing FNF mods (Omori) or the games that handle very sensitive subjects in poor manner (MogekoCastle). For games that are special case scenarios there's Hylics who's creator (for some reason) forbids all form of fangames or interactive fan media, and has requested the cease of every previous Hylics mod. The other case is a game that's literally a porn game which i only bring up since i've been asked multiple times to include it. You know who you are, and the answer is NO!!!
There's lot of amazing games that i'd love to represent in this mod but outside of the big three we've selected i can't promise those games will receive full "weeks" like we plan to do for the others. The additional games we do plan are including tho are : SpaceFuneral, AoOni, Ib, Witch'sHouse, and ToiletInWonderland.
The very ironic origin for this mod comes from me talking in a VC and joking about "FNF mod ideas that'd get you canceled" in which i made the following sketch with Boyfriend with a Mogeko from Mogeko Castle.
As jokey as this was the idea of making a FNF mod focusing on iconic RPGMaker titles was a very appealing idea, and i went ahead with making more concepts. (also after firmly deciding that Mogeko Castle WOULD NOT be featured in the mod)
This art of Madotsuki and Uboa from Yumenikki, and Ellen from Witch's House being the first formal concept sketches i made for the mod.
