worlds.com
sadly, with worlds.com's servers dying last year after a slow degradation of its features, it is basically impossible for me to continue updating this blog in the future with worlds.com exploration (without it being the base-game places everyone has seen hundreds of times).
It was a bit of a slow burn, seeing more and more places become broken/inaccessible, and hopefully LibreWorlds (see link for info) will get to a state where we can revisit all the archived worlds. Fingers crossed that we don't lose 99% of everything that was accessible before the death of the game.
Until then, I think I may come out of my tumblr retirement home and use this blog to post screenshots of Yume Nikki and its various fangames (and potentially other obscure exploration-heavy games) I find interesting, as playing them satisfies a similar itch that Worlds did for me. I already have a ton of absolute fucking HEAT saved up by way of screenshots, which I will probably start to post a bit of later today. I totally get it if that's not your thing so feel free to un-follow, but it will also follow the same formula as the previous stuff I've posted. No personal posts or reblogs (maybe a few exceptions). Only OC.
A huge part of my time spent on Worlds was making friends there and exploring, with a couple of them being people I still talk to today. It's sad seeing something die that was not only a time capsule of late-90/early 2000s culture, but a (seemingly) eternal resting place of the creativity of its users from 1995-2024. Many of the user-created worlds were an insight into the personality and passions of the people who made them, and I absolutely applaud anyone who is passionate about something to the degree of figuring out how to use the dogshit that is WorldsShaper. I wish I had been on a bit more in recent years instead of taking-for-granted something I didn't think would soon die.
RIP to one of the most interesting video games / chat clients ever.
[Friends & I's mugshots. I have pretty bad time-blindness, but I want to say this was maybe... I was gonna say 7 years ago, but jesus it may have been more close to 9-10?!]
