#uboachan

Now u kno

You’re not wrong.  However, if you want to advertise your game aside from niche areas, you’re stuck either on the pain in the butt layout of Facebook, tweeting small updates on Twitter, or hoping Google picks up your wordpress/blogspot/whatever on it’s search when someone types in “New games”.  They can be used wisely, but you know, sucks when one site you could organize things with tags & make longpost goes down in popularity.

I’m not sure if Uboachan is right for a lot of users as while it’s a chill chan board, a lot of tumblr users are too normie to post there, whether it’s being driven off by the format or driven off by the harsher speech of chan boards (tumblr’s mean too but the two userbases would clash to say the least, and I’m certain you know why).   Uboachan is also pretty dead, there’s maybe like 5-10 active users with the rest being lurkers, and a lot of devs of more recent have left them for other sites. Hell, the people who would be comfortable using Uboachan here on tumblr probably lurk or post there (or the discord, which is somewhat separate from ubuu) already.  Basically I’m gonna assume more people are gonna hide out on Reddit or other fan communities before they go back to uboachan.  Besides, I know a few devs who used to post on uboachan and decided not to go back so I don’t think you’re gonna win them over either OTL

Uboachan’s fangame archive has moved

The Yume Nikki fangame archive has moved here permanently because of technical issues.

Uboachan has now a new official “owner”

I thought it’d be cool to say something about this, after many years of service as the head admin of Uboachan, Seisatsu decided to take a break and now the boards will be managed by Writer. Sei will still be part of the staff, though.

The reasons for this were clear, the boards were kind of out of control because of continuous waves of new posters ranging from incels to frogs and wizards bringing multiple forms of hostility and racism.

Needless to say, this was stressful for Sei, he was definitely not perfect, but he did his best and worked really hard.

Even though I don’t post there now for similar reasons I made my first steps as developer in Uboachan and my team was born there, and our translations team is still hosted in there. I wish the best of luck to Writer and I hope he guides the site to a more chill place.

For more info, read this post:

An image board in the spirit of 4chan and others like it that focuses on Yume Nikki fangames with about maybe 10-15 active users.  They’re chill in the sense they don’t run out and attack people, just insult each other and everything else because you know.  Some of their members help run the wiki, while others have focused on translating dojinshi and archiving every single yume nikki fangame ever made, along with various versions of said fangames (that download is H U G E).  They do a decent amount of good for the fandom, and a decent amount of being negative and complaining about things but hey.  Basically you don’t need to go there unless you’re trying to figure out how to install a game, are looking for resources on creating your own, wanna see some yume nikki history, or are ok with chan culture.
