Edit: I reacted unfairly in my assessment of the strawpoll. I do encourage everyone to share their feedback on the poll. Leaving my original somewhat hasty reply below:
Lol, this poll is so biased. Yes is just yes. There is another option to say nothing is wrong with ranking. Then the No option reads in full: “No, ranking should not exist at all in future (even if we permanently lose ranking prize suits)”
Very nuanced, very fair and scientific, not at all trying to scare people into accepting ranking events. /s
I'll probably just get the pieces I like :( (skeleboyfriend, the boots, choker and veil~)
(I hope I flaired properly? This is my first time posting ;;)

That game's basically the same as what Shining Nikki's mechanic is based on. (the 3D version of Love Nikki - supposedly to be the sequel)
Just the game is mainly Chinese based. IE: it's the Wuxia era storyline.
Here's it's googleplay page:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wegames.ysyy.hk.and&hl=en_US
Tho I am not sure if you can download it... it apparently says "it's incompatible with your device." (I have samsung s9 but I haven't checked Emulators)
Also, found a video of it... lol
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKtEpZApMLI
Apparently English name is called Fashion Cloudy...
My jaw dropped when I saw the price for Ode To Glory. $100!? That's the most expensive set ever! You can get it for cheaper, tho. Amazon coins has the $100 pack discounted now for $76. I don't know if it makes it any better as it's still a lot, but I would much rather spent $76 on a dragon than $100.
What are Amazon coins? They're the Amazon version of iTunes Gift Card and Google Play Gift cards. They're always discounted, which is why I'm such an Amazon enthusiast. xD
How to use Amazon coins? Android users, you're in luck. Just download the Amazon App Store here (https://www.amazon.com/gp/mas/get/android/) and download the Love Nikki app from it. Buy diamonds and it would take away your Amazon coins.
iPhone users, like myself? RIP. JK. Grab your PC and download an Android emulator, like Nox (https://www.bignox.com). Then follow the Android user's instructions. Just one extra step. Not so bad. :)
WARNING: prices on Amazon coins fluctuates everyday, so the 24% discount might not be there anymore in a few days.
If anyone's interested, there are these phone screen covers that hide what's on your screen to other people, here's an example.
I'm really sorry this happened. I feel so embarrassed playing it in public too but people should be able to do what they want if it's not hurting anyone. We're all just having some fun.
i don't know of anything available at this exact second that compares to Love Nikki but there are several in beta on Google Play. Love and Fashion springs to mind.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sixwaves.lovefashion&hl=en_US
There is another but I can't recall the name.
Also a good way (and very visible to the developers) is to rate 1 in Google Play / Itunes and use as justification the #NoRankedEvents tag

Nikki Up2U should still be available. Hello Nikki (Nikki Up2U2) is no longer available in English as of Nov 2016.
Yes. Get a VPN. The one I used in China to hop around the Great Firewall is called Betternet and it does work really well but it’s a paid app (reasonable price) many reviews were from students trying to get around their high school’s ban hammer. There may be more free ones available that work. Keep in mind that if you are caught your school might not be happy but I think it’s pretty efficient and unlikely to draw attention as long as you’re discreet.
You could also download a VPN on your device beforehand. That might help you access Facebook and other banned sites in China. I use Opera VPN
I'm curious too!
Just a heads-up: this website generates realistic person pics (refresh if you're unsatisfied) (some pictures look glitchy, but they're fine most of the time): https://thispersondoesnotexist.com There was a story where someone created a fake LinkedIn account with a profile pic grabbed from there (for science). Somebody from Google legit thought it was a real person and sent an email expressing interest in this "person".
the nikki guide for the ios is really bad and out of date. I also have an ios phone and just use the nikki guide for android. If you want to do it like I do. download bluestacks in your computer. Its an android app emulator and download love nikki guide in it. You just need to have a gmail and take your time to manually input all of your items in the app. I really recommend it it saves you so much! https://www.bluestacks.com/
Google Opinion Rewards "pays" you in Google Play Credits for taking surveys. It is not a continual stream of surveys - they send you one when they think it applies to you. It is just a few cents here and there, but it can build up which you can use to make purchases in your mobile games.
Best bet is to turn on your location - the majority of my surveys have been asking about places I have been. Hope this helps!
I knew some people would think it sounds conspiratorial. I never said they were using bots during ranking events, I said it must be considered if they are using bots at other times. But look, it's very relevant to a discussion about whether we can trust the devs/suits, no matter what your personal opinion is on whether there is a valid explanation for a player's score dropping by almost 100k.
For those of you who didn't hear about the recent Destiny debacle, let me summarize it. You can buy xp from loot boxes with real money. They had an event, and Bungie turned out to be invisibly throttling the xp gains on the back end. So, say you beat a boss and it said you gained 100 xp. It was really only giving you a fraction of that xp, in order to get you to buy loot boxes with xp. The game was literally lying to you in order to trick you into spending money, because Bungie wanted to make bank from frustrated players during the event.
All week long, players brought anecdotal evidence to reddit, saying they suspected this (and people said it was just a conspiracy theory, or 'get good') until finally one redditor took a look at the back end of the game. He was able to prove the system was rigged, and the outrage was immediate. Bungie was forced to issue a half-assed apology and take out the 'system' as they called it.
You can read about it here (or just google for the many other articles)

So, yeah, we know games will lie to us about the game mechanics (also known as cheating) in order to get us to buy more stuff in game. It's a known problem and the common perception among mainstream gamers is that this problem is like a virus that spread from mobile to mainstream gaming. It's not exactly tin foil hat territory to think LN would do the same sorts of things.
They just announced Dawn Front for the 11th. Facebook post. The prices for the suits are here.

I was looking for an anime avatar creation app and came across Avatar Factory; I got the feeling that this app was based on something else and when I went looking for it, that's when I found Love Nikki :D I haven't stopped since.
For anyone else looking this is the app to look for https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appster.nikkiguide&hl=en_US
I'm having the same problem, logged in as starxheart, can't edit wardrobe, no items.
Guess I'm gonna have to use my backup app, Nikki Guide. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appster.nikkiguide
I downloaded the CN version. It was beautiful and awesome to see how ahead they were, but was a bit overwhelming. As someone who doesn't speak chinese, it was a pain in the butt to try and figure out which stylist arena stage I was doing. However, if you have enough patience you could probably do trial and error and figure out the stages over time by cross checking it with the LN server. There's also the problem where you would need to install a chinese keyboard to search for items, unless you're playing on an emulator on a computer.
In my opinion, I didn't like it solely due to the language barrier and how it would take a while to figure out everything, but then again that's for every game that isn't in your native language.
My advice is that you should download it if you want to find out what future suits, features, and chapters look like. I like to use it to see the return costs on suits LN has already got. However, if you would like to also play seriously in that server, it's really up to you. If you're going to actually play in a different server, it would be a good idea if you were pretty familiar with the language, had a really good translator, or found a forum where they translated everything for you. If you do find a forum that has everything translated hmu lol.
If you want to download different LN versions, I used QooApp (works only for android I think). QooApp has the JP server, CN server, and other servers. You just search up Nikki or something along the lines of that on the app and just download the .apk. Can't 100% guarantee that it's safe, a lot of redditors said it was fine but you might want to research on your own for that.
Official QooApp website: https://apps.qoo-app.com/en/app/880/QooApp
Same thing happened to me. This seems like something that would be easily fixed just by them giving us new terms and conditions to agree to. But this is a game meant for the Asian market and the EU probably wasn't on their minds at all, since we have a different version of the game for our market. Unfortunately it seems that there's nothing we can do to solve it ourselves and we just have to wait and see if the developers will answer our questions. So in the meanwhile I can only advise you to download a VPN app and use it when you want to play Nikki. I use ProtonVPN and it works.
Did you root your Nox? If I remember correctly, I had to root it before I could access the data files. (Sorry, if that's not the case, it was a long time ago, but it's still worth trying imo.)
I made Nightly Spirit back when she was just a little goth.
Id recommend using Clipboard Actions for mobile
EDIT: you can copy multiple names and then go to love nikki and paste them without switching
I use it too. I don't like it as much as Nikki info but it's easier to use on the go, which is what I need the majority of the time.
I use it in conjunction with a clipboard app that lets me copy multiple things and select which one to use from the drop down notification menu. It makes completing stages so much faster and easier.
Here's the one I use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.halfreal.clipboardactions
Another alternative is ClipKey for Android. It essentially turns your keyboard into scrollable box of all the text you've copied. My process for stages is pretty much:
It does tend to crash every now and then on my phone, but it's too useful for me to go without. If you do use it, you might need to raise the maximum number of clipboard entries to 50 or something so it can hold all those item names.
Check out the app and other resources listed here
I used hyacinth and classic kilt/brown (with red hot summer jacket) for 7-5, and white galaxy dress for 7-7.
It's just a live chicken in a basket. That is pretty much normal.
Jokes aside, during the years I've spent in China I've seen live chicken, geese, eels, snakes (not the pet kind), frogs, turtles and, for a reason, mice transported in very inappropriate containers on the bus and on the subway. There's a nationwide regulation now that prohibits "uncivilised behaviour", so I guess it'll be a thing of the past, but who knows...
For me, I basically run all my ln purchase past my boyfriend.it helps to have someone else look at what youre spending and tell you that no that 21$ dress is NOT worth it.
As for surveys, you can do Google opinion awards if you're on Android, job spotter where you take pics of help wanted ads, or a multitude of survey sites you can google there's tons.
My favourite site is swagbucks, it's pretty easy to earn. You can use my referral for a signup bonus if you want: https://www.swagbucks.com/refer/PixelatedLights
I don't know if this will help, but I had the same problem a couple days ago. Nox wouldn't save the setting changes... So I downloaded the 6.0.2.0 version and it's now working. https://www.bignox.com/blog/noxplayer-6-0-2-0-release-notes/
I just bumped into this post, and I'd also say the same comments as the other commenters.
Speaking of skintones and poses, there's this game https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.becomingcelebrity.us&hl=en_US&gl=US where ALL POSES are compatible with ALL SKINTONES!
It’s also on Amazon!
I noticed the Etsy one was gone
I'm on Android and I find Native Clipboard very easy to use with a really simple interface. I've tried a few other clipboard apps and so far this one is the most straightforward.
If y'all still want a dress-up game that's 2D and the closest thing to LN, try Project Star: Makeover Story https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.becomingcelebrity.us&hl=en\_US&gl=US
I haven't even played it myself, only knew from a friend who played for several months, basically it has gachas and events BUT it also does things BETTER than LN including:
- Poses adjust with long-sleeved clothing/coats AND makeups work for ALL SKINTONES! Poses seem to work with skintones too afaik
- Gifting their equivalent of DIAMONDS between friends IS A THING!
- Gives currency GENEROUSLY too

Just read the reviews for Zombie Siege on the google play store. It looks... exactly like our server. No updates, no events, poor customer service. Even paying players on that game seem to have no luck with account transfers and accessing it again
Thanks for sharing
It's on playstore I don't know if it's available in every country, but that's the global server
It should also be on apple store!
I'm a bit late, so perhaps you already arranged something else, but I recommend using DeepL instead of Google Translate. It's a much better translator in general (and for japanese and chinese specifically), so it may help to have a first draft that is a bit more decent that what Google can do!
hmm... never had that happen before.
If you want, you can try downloading QooApp in Nox and then download Love Nikki from there. (it's basically another Google Play Store)
Or you can try and download Love Nikki APP by APK from APKPURE
https://apkpure.com/love-nikki-dress-up-queen/com.elex.nikkigp
Then in Nox, on the side tool bar, find the "Add APK File" to find your file (or you can simply drag and drop the APK into Nox, sometimes this doesn't work)
And then see if you can download and load up Love Nikki
Aww thank you! I used MyPaint which is free and apparently infinitely tweakable, haha. I'm just trying to get the hang of the basics at the moment. I used to use OpenCanvas 1.1, (which I'd also recommend) which has about 10 buttons total, just enough for my simple brain. Unfortunately, it recently decided not to play nice with my tablet anymore :c
Oh, thank you so much for this. I'm starting now, I'll edit my comment with my code.
My code is GATY955V
Thanks for your code, /u/happiness7734. Worked great.
It took me a bit to figure out how to make a payment, but I just downloaded the Wish app, made an account connected to my Gmail, and bought a nice pen. https://pay.google.com/about/where-to-use/ Here's a link that shows you where else you can use the app.
thx for the adivce :)) heres the link im gonna use... is it the real one?

These are made through already generated images, that have been tweaked and cross-bred multiple times until you are satisfied with the result. I did not get a picture of a character, lol, I just made these images through already existing images on Artbreeder until they looked like the character! For example, check out the lineage of my Nidhogg. You can see all the different images that made it up, from me or not. (it stretches back even further but it only goes so far)
Magical Girl - SPLENDID FORM!!
I know some people are putting up well scoring outfits on the contest, but this is seriously doing too well in my opinion so I'll just post her here. More info on her page at my fansite.
Oh, and I totally am one of those "40 days in facepalming" players that just spent an hour opening all my Vote Reward boxes... lol
I'm guilty of text rambles too, so you're not alone. It's the beauty of Reddit having no character limit as opposed to Twitter.
I feel like it's a mix of both tradition and appeal. I mean, it's not like the west isn't guilty of this either. It's more common for women to date older men in every part of the world, so the writers are most likely just trying to appeal to their target audience.
If you've watched a typical anime aimed at this certain age range (doesn't matter the gender), you'll know that the world tends to be almost exclusively populated by teenagers and young adults in their 20s. The writers probably noticed that this is what sells, and thus have a limited age range on their characters.
Of course, this list doesn't have every single character ever. I just had the ones where we can pinpoint where they are. If I had characters with even more vague ages than Nikki, the gender barrier might not be as clear:
​
The great thing about My Files is it even displays all the folders that have images in a nice grid form for you :D I probably should have recommended this first as it will show you all images on your phone. Here's a link to the app in case your phone doesn't come with it by default My Files in the App Store
Yeah, seriously it's annoying. And, android tried disabling application folder access in an older version but enabled it again in the next upgrade, so why they're trying it again I don't know! But, I did find a solution some time ago using a third-party app.
I use two: tunnel bear and protonVPN.
ProtonVPN is my main vpn since the servers that we can use for JN (JP and US) have completely free versions. Tunnel Bear is now a backup VPN for when protonVPN stops working. It doesn't happen often, but it's nice to have an option for when it does.
Back to protonVPN, both the Us and Jp servers give me the same results in terms of load times. Sometimes the game loads very slowly, and sometimes it's fast.
One trick I figured out is that once I'm in the game, if I disconnect the VPN from the notification bar without exiting the Jn app, the game continues to work and it loads way faster. Idk if it works for everyone, but it's worth a try.
Thank you so much ♥️♥️♥️
I use a Pentel ink pocket brush pen for all the construction and Unipen fineliner for the details. The links are bellow ♥️♥️ And yes, I do sketch first 🤗
And
I personally love using Winsor & Newtons gold ink but leaf gold or such (sheet metal) also has a beautiful shine to it :)
Finally got it to work ... surprisingly Mullvad's Singapore VPN puts the game out of the country but tunnel bears says, the game is available....
last question, do you need to keep the VPN on when you play? or just for the initial download?
if you're on android, You can just search it up here
you can get the chinese version on iOS but i can't help you there as i'm on android and there's bit of a process..
https://www.amazon.de/Elex-Love-Nikki-Dress-UP-Queen/dp/B07816NG7B/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523787692&sr=8-1&keywords=love+nikki&dpID=91wNUQ6r7tL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch does this work? I can easily find LN on the .de website um what's going on
I found them all by going here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appster.nikkiguide&hl=en and googling the name of the version I wanted. Then I downloaded them from apkpure (when they were found there) and installed. Sometimes you have to do some guessing about what buttons mean in order to get into the game.
this is true, and you can tell which among the 5 attributes (simple, pure, gorgeous etc.) is weighed more by looking at the points-- each is either high med or low--you might see some attributes in the 8 K range, the 13K range, or the 18K range -- more points = more important attribute.
~~Or you could just look at the lovenikki app~~
Oof I just realized something, there's this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appster.nikkiguide
This app has a lot of info readily available D: (it does have an english version)
