From what I remember, he was planning to release the contest entries on September 16th 12 AM, when Omni contest ends.

Just a suggestion, though: try to not go too far with lowercase letters. Remember lowercase letters are 2 byte tokens, when uppercase ones are 1 byte. This takes A LOT of memory when you have massive amounts of text.

Wow that's a lot! They're sequel to each others, right?

* DJ Omnimaga wonders if we'll see some games à la ROL3 in the higher numbers

1-3 and 5 are direct sequels, 4 is a prequel to 1, and 6-7 are tentatively time-skip sequels.
I'm planning on ramping up the graphics for the 3rd game+

You should have a conclusion game that tells the end of the story

If I only do 5 games, Nightmare Under the Nightmare will have the conclusion in it (even if it's open-ended).
If I do 6 games but not 7, the 6th will end up being Yumé no Shuukyoku which, as its name implies, will be the conclusion.
If I do all 7, again Yumé no Shuukyoku will be the conclusion game.

Holy crow! O_O

Excellent.  My biggest grip about Commander Keen (made by the creators of DOOM) is that they moved on from the project, ending the game series in a cliffhanger.

O.o

lol Iambian

I agree, though. I wonder if this will eventually be as long as the Illusiat series (which were gonna be 5 games, including Illusiat 2002, but finally ended up being 12)

Yeah first I would focus on the first two games and planning the 3rd, then when then 3rd progresses enough, start planning 4th, then 5


And add some new stuff as the series goes on. It's good to not start too large unless you worked on RPG/adventure games a lot before. Notice how the first 6 games in Illusiat series were rather short or had few dungeons and most had no shop)

This game is not dead! I'll finish it sometime this summer and release it before Fall of 2011! It too will have bonus content!

For those wondering, the lack of me in the community and lack of work on the Yumé series is mainly due to college draining a lot out of me to the point where I wanted to spend my free time doing everything NOT considered work so I could de-stress. Furthermore, I have begun investing time into two long-term projects that I will post about at a future date. Both are games
