Part-timer Mom by Day... Dreamwalker By Night

Overview:
Derpy's the kind of mom that has to work all kinds of jobs around town to make end's meet; she's usually the first one up and the last one to bed. Ask around town and they'll say she's a trooper- an easy breeze that'll brighten up your day.

She's also the kind of mom that accidentally burns dinner during soup night. Ask around town again and they'll say she's a real twister- leaves nothing unscathed in her wake.

Ask again and it seems like there's something weird going on around town; something that's making everyone lose precious hours of sleep. And it looks like no one but Derpy can do anything about it.

Looks like the midnight shift just opened up...

Gameplay:
Day Dreaming Derpy is a Paper Mario-inspired JRPG with an emphasis on the exploration of the Dream World and the interaction between Derpy and the residents of the Real World. While asleep, Derpy can use her abilities gained from her many part-time jobs to combat the nightmares that plague the dreams she explores along with the help of many unique, quirky characters. While awake, Derpy can prepare for her night-time ventures by working all around town to buy items and unlock new abilities she can use in the Dream World.



Features:
  • Over 10 unique allies!
  • 11 different jobs to choose from!
  • Hi-Bit Pixel Art!
  • Paper-Mario-inspired RPG Gameplay Elements!
  • Mother-Daughter Bonding!
  • Strange Sense of Humor!
  • Your greatest fanfictions come true!
  • PONIES!!

Day Dreaming Derpy (Post) Dev Log #19 Sprites and Assets Download

If there’s anything I’ve learned from programming and making games, it’s that shared resources available to the community are, essentially invaluable to both those who wish to improve upon projects and those beginning to learn the craft. I believe I discussed this WAAAAY back in this dev log’s infancy- that those interested in all steps of the game development process could take a look at this, post-by-post and see what would potentially lie ahead. I am, by no means, a professional, but making your own game isn’t as beyond common understanding as most may think. After all, there are plenty examples in the market today that serve as proof of that very thought.

So in the interest of helping future developers and for those who want to poke around the game’s files, I’ve compiled all the game’s assets as well as the game’s RPGmaker project file in 2 handy .zips!

Sprites and Assets

RPGmaker Project File


Go crazy everyone!

And just to give an idea of how beefy these files are, here’s a little preview of just how many regular, major character sprites I’ve made for Day Dreaming Derpy.


Hope you don’t mind the mild mess some of the files are organized in.

Thanks everyone!

The game don't seem to have an icons for Mayor Mare, Randolph, Gummy, Gala people. Considering the amount of all other stuff this looks like a bug and out of place.
And it makes you lose the level from time to time. When you change costumes or something..
Also it would be better if it had a distinct icon.
Thanks for the awesome game!

Hello there. I really enjoyed this game. Amazing work! but it seems that I've crossed with a bug with Smarty Pants. Hope you can understand me, since I speak spanish (My english is bad).

So... after I finished the game, I went again to ''The Light-side of the Moon'' and somehow I got Smarty Pants to follow me everywhere, even in the Real World! I believe this isn't supposed to happen, right? Screenshots below:



EDIT: Nevermind! I was using version 1.0 of the game wich had this bug. I updated to v1.1 and it seems to be fixed now.


That's great! Good to see you were able to fix it!
Thanks for playing

What the heck? This is so weird! I used my keyboard instead of my controller like you said, and those problematic characters I mentioned before suddenly talked!

But I really don't want to use my keyboard. I want to play the game using a controller. I guess I'll have to use JoyToKey. Thanks for the help.

Hello, I seem to be stuck. So I just completed the haunted house dream, and I don't know where to go next. I would assume I'm supposed to go to the theater dream, but someone blocks my way. Also, although the ! appears above the head of the person blocking my way, pressing the confirm/talk button does nothing. I'm using a controller, by the way. Is there something I'm supposed to do to get this person to go away?

There are a few other places where an ! appears above someone's head, but the confirm button does nothing. These are Dinky in the Sea of Clouds with balloons nearby and Dinky in the haunted house dream.

Not sure about your controller settings, but I suggest playing with a keyboard /Confirm and Cancel for consistent controls

Why do this not have a review yet holy fawk

In all seriousness, I'm adding this to my queue. Some of the brony stuff might be lost to me, but this needs a review. Thankfully the two before this in my play-and-review queue are short, as far as I can tell?


lol Thanks for stopping over
The game's an average of 5-6 hours, just as a heads up

So... I just finished this game. Amazing work of art, and all should play it, brony or not. I do have a question though... I'll hid it for those who wish not to be possibly spoiled. I do hope this is answered. Again thank you for the amazing game, and work of art.
In the final battles, the one with Discord Derpy, there are also Night Guard Derpys, so is there a Night Guard job? I'd really love to know if there is.

There is no Uniform for the Night Guard, unfortunately, didn't have time to implement it.
Thanks for the feedback

Mac version? It looks fun, but I can't do anything with .exe files.

Congratulations on the finished game, Horror_n_Oates! If I ever get off my lazy arse, I'll definitely give this game a shot. <3
Whoo hooo it's finished! Can't wait to give it a try~ It's really charming. :3
It makes me really happy that you made Octavia aromantic. More than I can really express. And you made the revelation very natural.

She reminds me a lot of myself. So few characters do, in that way. The world needs more characters who love those close to them deeply but only ever platonically.
