The New York Public Library just uploaded nearly 200,000 images you can use for free

The New York Public Library just released a treasure trove of digitized public domain images, everything from epic poetry from the 11th century to photographs of used car lots in Columbus, Ohio from the 1930s. Over 180,000 manuscripts, maps, photographs, sheet music, lithographs, postcards, and other images were released online Wednesday in incredibly high resolution, and are available to download using the library's user-friendly visualization tool. It's a nostalgist's dream come true.

this is amazing

Eh what the heck, might as well try it. No harm in it.

What good programs could I use to make a Yume Nikki fangame?

Hi anon!

You can use really any program to help you make a YNFG! 

Engine-wise, Most use RPG Maker 2000/3 to get that authentic Yume Nikki feeling, and some may use XP or VX Ace. @riki-xenon​ is using MV and someone made a YNFG with the same engine the original Doom was made on. The possibilities are endless!

If you’re talking about the components of a game, I can give you a rundown of programs/sites/resources I and other devs are known to use (things I use are marked with *):

Music Creation

FL Studio (demo free)

Reason (demo free)*

LMMS (free)

Music (royalty free)

Presence of Music

Incompetech

Pianosdauge

Yasupochi

Sound Effects

freesound.org (need account)*

Koukaongen

Pocket SE

Graphics

GIMP (free)

Photoshop*

Clip Studio*

FireAlpaca (free)

If you’re a dev, especially a Yume Nikki fangame developer, please tell me what programs you use and what you recommend!

Note: This will be updated as I get stuff.

The D'Arcy Thomson Zoology Museum has an online collection of over two dozen 3D models of various living and extinct animal skulls! They can be moved around so you can see them from all angles, making them useful for studying zoology, drawing animal skulls, or if you’re like me and you just find animal bones interesting.

Above are a hippopotamus skull, chimpanzee skull, penguin skull, bat skull, and a thylacine skull.
