The romhack by the guy who can only think about their OCs, but this time its YW3.
Premise
I like modding games! It keeps me sane in between work and worsening chronic illness. Specifically, I enjoy injecting my OCs into literally every medium possible. Yokai watch is not exempt from this. I do it mainly for fun, and to test what I can do! Making something 'finished' isn't the goal, as much as having fun and potentially helping and discovering things with others is.
Originally, the project was Violet Detector, a YW2 romhack. I had a lot of fun with it, and was able to build a very solid story arc for my headworld out of it (wild)! Though it may not have been completed romhack-wise, Nightmare diary is an extension of that storyline.

On the table are a replaced cast, entirely different world and story, and new music!
The mod itself will probably never see a 'complete' release, and that's ok with me. Thanks to YWML though, I may be able to release the replacements as new yokai individually :}
Why switch from YW2 to YW3?
- 3's story structure feels a like easier to work with, compared to the time travel craziness I was struggling to work around for YW2
- I've been overall enjoying the content and mechanics of 3 more (which is kind of crazy because 2 was already up there)
- my 3ds my rules
The story...
The story starts one year after the tag team of Diana and Yukarin (alongside other friends) were able to resolve the plots of Diana's classmate, Arael, who seemed to be having some kind of megalomaniacal episode and was intent on blowing up half the city simply because she could.
Now, Diana has graduated high school and is attending university! While she misses her friends, she's making the best of it. Yukarin seems to have gone off to somewhere unknown, but assures Diana she's alright.
Meanwhile, Diana's crush - a girl named Isa - has moved far off to a locale dubbed the Craterlands, due to her aunt being requested for a mysterious and important mission.
Everything seems... normal.
Well. Not really.
A mysterious, unidentifiable entity crash landed in the ranchlands located in the Craterlands. Unbeknownst to anyone, this crash contained Id - an ancient, godly being who had previously been exiled and had since been festering in a worsening grudge against the world. You know, normal stuff!
But modern radio probing managed to break the seal that kept them from coming back, and now they're ready to party (in a bad way).
Between Diana, Isa, some new friends, and even Arael -- it's to them to put an end to the nightmare.
Thread's purposes
For brainstorming, rambling, and progress snippets that may or may not amount to me becoming the Joker because of blender for the 15th time. As with the VD/YW2 thread, anyone is free to ask questions about the romhack itself, or for insight about animations/modeling! Since that's what makes up the bulk of progress on this thing.
