Happy Reala day. : D

here's some screencaps i took while playing NiD on my pc earlier today.

discovered this little crevice in my dream a few weeks ago. I like how it looks like a little passageway. This and a few other images I have are much older than the first ones I shared. I decided I should share them here 'cause it's interesting to see how many different ways the mountains form.

Nightopians really like hanging out on the side of the mountain for some reason.

A good look at the trees. I always assumed these trees come from Helen's dream, the crystal castle one. I could possibly be wrong though, but if i recall correctly, crystal castle is the only dream I can think of that has trees like this. The bark sorta reminds me of different colored crystals or something similar to what crystal castle has in its stage design/aesthetic. could be wrong, and they could possibly be just random trees for my dream though. lol. Just in case though, I do play Helen's dream, mostly that dream in particular often next to will's desert and mountain dreams.

also, two little bonus pics of the nightopians and what my dream looked like when it snows. Interestngly enough, the mountains look a little different during winter weather. maybe it's to give it the look as if it's covered in ice? I guess that makes sense. I always saw the other mountains with a sand and gravel-like design to them. They kinda remind me of desert mountains, but I'm pretty sure they are supposed to be valley mountains. *insert thinking emoji here*

I like how the nightopians like to hang out next to these mountains a lot. lol.

also, if anyone has any idea as to how to get that one harp medal/badge let me know. I'm sorta thinking that maybe you have to play the forest of memory dream in helen's campaign for lots and lots of hours, but this is just me making a wild guess since that dreams theme is heavily related to music. love the design for that dream though. i like the little windows on the trees and the tulips, and the way it looks when you turn the dials.

unless you get the badge from the nightopians. i think they also play instruments sometimes? i haven't seen this when playing the game myself, but I have seen pictures of it floating around the internet. I think they will sometimes play the violin? maybe it depends on what time of the year it is probably. im not sure if they can play instruments though. I have been playing this game since around the time or a bit after its release, but I was like 9 or 10 or so when it first came out, and I wasn't very good at the game and didn't know how to play it, so i didn't play my dream long enough to notice that the pians do different things depending on what season it is. my brothers and I also rented the game from gamefly back then through mail, so we only had about a month i think to play it 'til we had to return it. lol.

luckily, due to me remembering how much fun I had with it back when i was younger, I decided to get it again. got back into NiGHTS thanks to me remembering this game and wanting to play it again.

I also own a copy of the Japanese release of this game which I got as a gift during the holidays.

saw a few fans in the NiGHTS community here try and get the mountain medal together in JoD. thought it looked fun, so I decided to join in on this journey and give it a try myself as someone who spends a lot of free time playing this game. (and who also has journey of dreams as one of their most favorite games.)

as far as i'm aware, i have spent a little over 100 hours playing this game altogether, and as from what others alluded here, I think you have to play an incredible amount of hours playing the game for mountains to start forming in my dream. mines started forming about a month ago or so if i recall correctly.

I have a feeling that it's possible since the medals themselves are in the final game, but since journey of dreams quickly fell into obscurity many players didn't bother to pay attention to my dream at the time it was still considered a new release. That, and even if many players did, they probably didn't know exactly how it worked. I'm also pretty sure most players probably also just played the main stories, and then after they completed them, probably stopped playing. another possibility is someone probably does have the achievement/medal in their game but maybe doesn't realize how rare it is to obtain it and isn't in the NiGHTS fandom to notice that it's considered lost media for JoD players. just my guess, ofc.

so far so good, though. might have to play a bit of it later on tonight. or during midnight, since my schedule has been a bit busy lately due to college work and exams. just finished them yesterday though, and i have a week off. I also passed. : D

I'm also interested as to what the other medals are. From what I can recall, not too many players have obtained most of those either.
