OMORI

[Coolio55]

I vaguely recall hearing once that supposedly, Omocat at one point did an image of Omori with a box of tissues next to him, which was meant to imply something other than crying.

The original webcomic incarnation of Omori had him talk about fapping and waifus. He even drinks sake for new years.

It's kind of amazing how none of that snuck in, isn't it?

'Tis all true


Omoriboy is illustrated to be an adolescent in these, so nothing *too* sussy here.

Fap rags became strictly for crying for public release, of course. Sunny/Omori is gamewise made to be emotionally stunted, so all his romantic perceptions are made to be platonic (unless you count a text log of him looking over Aubrey's bed to be his sexual seething). It's up to mod
teams to introduce buggery into the game, mayhaps with Omoriboy and hopefully not in full force troonery

Sorry for sperging again (another sleepless night).

Another problem I have with the dream world is that... for being a "dream," its a bit too coherent. Dreams are supposed to be strange and weird--a thing that Yume Nikki nails perfectly. Omori though feels like just a terminally uncreative person trying to make Mario worlds--here's the water level, here's the desert, here's the forest, etc.--with structure that makes too much sense and in fact, a lot of real-world logic (the bicycles that power the thing in that one area).

Then of course there's the actual narratives, where things like Sweetheart and Space Boyfriend are too consistent across multiple nights. Speaking as someone who keeps a dream diary, I have never seen a dream work like this--if a person ever recurs in my dreams, they're gonna be under completely different circumstances.

It really feels like they came up with a narrative first, then decided later to say it was a dream in order to justify all the things they couldn't think of an actual rationale for--or just to excuse the lolrandom bits they didn't want to bother making sense of.

Also as other people have said, its a bit stupid that during the fight with Aubrey the game tries to be all "this is real life, you idiot!" then proceeds to have every battle in the real world work just like the ones in the dream (to the point where all the skills and equipment buffs carry over) anyway.

So essentially, the game is feeling like a mish-mash of ideas Omocat thought were cool, strung together with duck tape.

Only brain damaged and mentally deficient people like this crap. I want back my 6 hours I spent on this turdpile of a game.

Listen. She made a thing we like. She's changed. It was 10 years ago when it was OK to be a paedophile.

Speaking of dream worlds, why had nobody taken the Lovecraft idea of dream worlds? Something grand, vast beautiful and strange, abandoned even...

It’s really hard to concoct into a game
Believe me, I tried hundreds of GMOD maps for that kind of liminal vibe but none have ever worked out. The closest your going to get IMO is a modded out Minecraft game

The trash cultists, I clapped when I saw it.
Remember the flaming man from Lisa the Painful?
Rule 63 candy Porky Minch, it broke new ground!

Probably the closest you'll ever get is the Playstation game LSD Dream Emulator. Though that's more like actual dreams. Yume Nikki may be closer to the Lovecraft version since it has parts of the dream world connecting to each other, which was a thing in Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath.

I take back everything bad I had to say about Omori

OMORI Is getting a manga adaptation in the magazine "Afternoon Monthly". The artist goes by "Konoito Nui" on X (L) (A)
People have noticed the artstyle is similar to that of a japaneese artist who goes by "Nu / @llll_NNMN" also on X (L) (A)
This account has made fan art of Omori and the way it is drawn looks identical to the omori in the manga announcement photo (L) (A)
The twitter bio of the other twitter account translates to:

NU Hobbies. I like cute guys and guys like each other. I have notifications off, if you need me email nunumanu666@gmail.com

There is plenty of NSFW drawings done by this artist, some of which involve young boys. I was also told this person made 3 gay shouta doujins. Source: /vg/ (I did not verify this.)
Weird decision by omocat to choose this person to write their manga when the fanbase is already convinced that omocat is attracted to little boys.

 

[X Prime]

They're leaning into the LGBT for clout I guess.

You can tell from the webcomic this was always going to cater to fujos. Guess the dev figured out what that demographic actually wanted.

From the concept art I saw it seems it will follow the Omoriboy 2012, which makes me wonder if it will be entirely set in headspace or not. If it is, I would presume Omocat would ensure pornofagging is kept to a minimum. If not (or if there are future issues) things may get out of hand whether Omocat wants them to or not

If it only takes place in headspace it will be as boring as Omoriboy. I heard the story will be done in a way so people who haven't played the game can follow the plot, so I'd imagine it would be something close to the original game's story or something completely different with the same characters.

This is probably the best thing that can come out of the mindnumbing shitshow that the game turned out to be.
Also mangakas tend to do a lot of NSFW anyway so whatever if the end result is good. Now this reminds me of the guy who did Nagataro used to do porn, you can see it in the faces of the SFW works.

@animegirlcrimes / Meon Kid, A former developer for the game posted some long ass thread about how omocat mistreated her during the development, its dumb and boring and i didn't read the whole thing and if truthful, it just confirms stuff people were saying about omocat on lolcow farm for years
Twitter Thread (Archive)

Omocat responded with something like "I treated you fairly and it was your fault for not getting any royalties because you overwrote people's code and added unapproved ideas etc etc" and they seem to continue going back and fourth with each other on this. I have no opinion but the game's twitter fanbase is shooken up by this and will totally stop supporting omocat again (or not)

The main issue as far as I can understand here is that this Melon person feels they contributed enough to the creation of the game to be entitled to royalties. She dropped off of development towards the end which breached her contract, so if what Omocat is saying is true then she has no legal obligation to give Melon said royalties.
I guess also this Melon person got very sick, apparently a self-inflicted illness from burnout or something? She worked so hard she made herself sick so she started falling asleep at her desk and missing deadlines. All in the name of Omori.
If you want to believe she was working 18 hour days nonstop feel free to I guess, I personally doubt that very much. She got paid for her time so I feel zero sympathy towards her either way.

This melon fellow could've pulled something damning but it's hard to believe without at least some DMs or discord screenshots. The other people who worked on it are jumping to attack melon.

Either everyone is covering each other backs or melon picked a losing fight.

As someone who works in a similar field I can promise that this retard deserved it. People not pulling their weight is always frustrating but it is especially detrimental when in situations like this where someone sets up an entire architecture that only they are familiar with then just dips, causes all sorts of nightmares in trying to reverse engineer what this person's done. You can be a programming prodigy but if you behave like this you're even less valuable than someone who doesn't know what they're doing.
