Hello there, it's time for the next NiGHTS Community Post!
The July post was later than usual so I thought there wouldn't be much to include since then
but then Balan WonderWorld was announced!
Everyone then proceeded to draw NiGHTS and Balan together in some great fan art!
Let's take a look!

I think the NiGHTS community is quite smitten with Balan, wouldn't you say?
Another collection of incredible work completed! Perhaps in the future I should introduce a theme for a Community Post so everyone can try drawing a certain character or scene? Would any of you be interested? Though the current system where you all create whatever you want is clearly good as well!
If you want to submit a NiGHTS related project just check the contact section at the top of the page for where to find us!
Keep up the good work people, you've got this~!

This isn't strictly NiGHTS related, I know, but it's definitely something close!
Square Enix and Balan Company (founded by our own Yuji Naka and Naoto Ohshima) have just revealed their new game called "Balan Wonderland"! You can tell just by looking at the trailer and promotional art that this is clearly a labour of love that has more than a few things in common with our beloved NiGHTS, as well as the likes of Billy Hatcher and other older SEGA games! The game is due for release on just about everything in Spring 2021, so there's something great to look forward to next year!
It's downright fantastic to see two of NiGHTS' creators working together again!
I've taken screenshots from the Balan website, which features some incredible art from Ohshima-san and the team involved!
We might not be getting a new NiGHTS anytime soon, but the spirit of the franchise is still alive and well! First in Rodea, and now in this new game! Judging by the trailer it looks like we're even getting Nightmaren equivalents, and I'm a sucker for a well designed Nightmaren~!
Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for more news about "Balan Wonderworld" by following their Twitter, their Blog and even their Instagram!
I'll continue to report on "Balan Wonderworld" if you guys have no problem with it, or would you prefer the site stick only to NiGHTS?
Let me know in the comments or the forums~!
It's that time again! Our monthly Community Post is here, where we take a look at the latest submitted artwork and projects from the NiGHTS fans!
This month's post is a bit later as it was NiGHTS' anniversary on the 5th of July (chances are I don't need to tell YOU that)
so I held off to give any stragglers a chance to be included in this birthday special!
There were SO MANY posts this time so I've done it a bit differently this time.
All artwork is included in a big gallery instead of just being uploaded right here because this post would have taken up the whole site!
Artists are credited under their art but I'll link to their respective pages afterwords!
NiGHTS into Zines
.jpg)
The Community Posts aren't the only thing that updates monthly! NiGHTS into Zines Issue 3 is out now!

NiGHTS Artwork
What a turnout this month~! The artists involved are as follows:
Yuki Chan (18+ NSFW Account!)
If your art is featured and you'd like to be credited differently just let me know!
The same applies if you submitted your artwork and it's not here,
I haven't intentionally left anyone out, sometimes things slip through the cracks!
Hope to see you next month~!

Well lookie what we got here: another NiGHTS Community Post!
The world is a scary place right now, with Covid-19 still running rampant and police brutality in the US becoming an even bigger problem than it already was,
so we're here to give you a moments reprieve to look at some excellent art by the NiGHTS Community!

TRAGEDiCART

TRAGEDiCART has really gone to town this month with the NiGHTS love and we couldn't be more thankful for it~!
A Pokemon based on Hollow would definitely learn Dream Eater, right?
And there we have it, another month, another collection of fine work from the best community an admin could hope to be a part of~!
Speaking of community, now more than ever it is integral to point out that as far I'm concerned the NiGHTS fanbase has always and will always be welcoming to people of every Race, Gender, Religion, Sexuality etc.
So long as you're polite to people we will welcome you with open arms!
The imagery coming out of the US just now is harrowing but it's also great to see so many people stand up in unison against systemic oppression and racism!
Black Lives Matter too~!
.png)
It's that time again, the start of a new month! With this new month comes our look at what the fanbase has been up to! We've got some great projects this time, so let's go through the list alphabetically!
Aurora Cannon
We start off with a doozy here; an entire fanzine! Aurora has created something incredible here for fans of all ages to print off or read online to beat the pesky isolation blues!
There are loads of activities to do, to the point where I couldn't choose specific pages to share here, you're better off looking through it all!
It even has a website you can go to to read it online!
Absolutely brilliant work here, well done~!
Boop!
Ooh-la-la~! Boop! shares with us Reala being a tasty wee number, and NiGHTS being the acrobatic contortionist he's known to be~!
Charlo
.jpg)
Charlo created this amazing sculpture of NiGHTS in his classic pose! I'm always in awe of people who can sculpt haha!
Dex la Cabra
Oh, who's this handsome devil? It's only me! ;D
If you follow me on Twitter you'll know I do a free webcomic called Clown Cops because I don't shut up about it~!
The latest pages are set in a convenience store called Saturn, which as you can see references NiGHTS heavily!
Naturally a shop needs produce to sell, so I've designed alcohol bottles based on NiD bosses, and cereal boxes based on the score items in the series!
They're not too detailed since they're small in the background, but thought you fellow NiGHTS fans might get a kick of out these!
D.P
.jpg)
D.P is a NiGHTS artist that always delivers the goods~! From seasonal celebrations to No-face inspired belly mouths, there's something for everyone~!
Monophobe
I actually owe Monophobe an apology here, since this entry was supposed to be in the last Community Post! Sorry!
And what an entry it is! This Dreams level looks like an absolute delight to play, oh my god! There are more videos of this
sensational NiD inspired world on their channel, be sure to check them out!
SiLVER
.jpg)
SiLVER shares with us this atmospheric piece of art! The tagline to this piece was "Spring is coming… There is always hope!", which is a much needed affirmation that these dark times won't be forever!
Squiderdoodle
Squiderdoodle shows us our favourite Nightmaren in some SWANKY duds~! Reala really suits glasses, they're a good compromise between the Persona mask and still being able to see his face!
And there you have it, another collection of quality NiGHTS projects by you guys, the best fanbase a series could ask for~!
Keep up the fantastic work, and if you would like to submit your project we'd be happy to show it off as long as it's not TOO NSFW! Hit up the Contact page in the top bar for links on where to do so!
Stay strong folks, we'll all get through this~!

The world may be going through uncertain times, but you'd best believe that the NiGHTS fans have delivered some sheer delights for you this month!

Realas Toothpick Claw
Realas Toothpick Claw really hit the ball out of the park here; a whole Reala Day comic~! Seeing all of the hard work that people like Toothpick do is why these Community Posts are so important, so we can all marvel at it all!

Viperxmns
.jpg)
Viperxmns shows us what a Reala Nenderoid would look like (and apparently it'd be AWESOME??), and a glimpse of Pizza guy Reala staying at home until all this blows over, by request of MiSHiKiS!

Until next time, stay at home if you can, and wash your hands properly~!

DP
DP went TO TOWN this month, with drawings for every occasion, even a nostalgic picture of NiGHTs with long hair,
taking us all back to the early days of the fandom!
Dreamy
Dreamy shared these fantastic pictures, one of Reala all dolled up for Valentine's Day and a wonderful comic page!

Viperxmns
Viperxmns shared this wonderful picture of Reala as a response to DP's picture above of the Reala coffee,
can we get these products for real, already?
WeatherWitch
WeatherWitch also shared a picture of what NiGHTS' hair could look like under the hat, with a closer look at his superbly drawn face!
Excellent work this month, folks! I'm really glad to be receiving such great entries, hopefully we can all make some fantastic art of Reala to celebrate Reala Day on the 1st of April for the next Community Post! He's even getting a statue of his very own, ICYMI~!
.png)
Sorry for the delay, your resident admin has been moving house and I've only just got internet here this moment!
The Reala First4Figures statue is now up for pre-orders! Coming in two editions, a Standard Edition and an Exclusive Edition, this is not to be passed up! They both cost $329.99 ordinarily, but are currently on discount for $296.99!
This early bird discount of 10% only applies if you pre-order by the 9th of March, and there are multiple payment plans if you don't have the cashola right now!
You'd be mad to miss this chance, as we almost never got this statue in the first place!
There's even a video showcasing the statue, including a handy size comparison to the F4F NiGHTS statue!
I'm delighted that First4Figures changed their minds about cancelling Reala, let's do our best to support the NiGHTS franchise in whatever form it takes~!
.png)
Just as I've started community driven events to quench the thirst for official NiGHTS news, the Reala First4Figures resin statue finally begins production!
Our first view of the statue painted, and he looks GLORIOUS~! I'll always prefer his NiD design to the JoD one but I'm sold on it already! This will be the perfect piece to match the NiGHTS statue First4Figures already released previously!
.jpg)
I genuinely thought that the fans had failed, and that the Reala statue would forever be shelved by the production team but I'm over the moon to say that this is not the case! Our website will be updating on the 21st with more information once it's available! Keep an eye on the First4FIgures site and their Facebook page for access to their livestream on that date (times on the header image!) and for the love of all that is holy, let them know how much we appreciate this statue finally being made!
Also something worth noting is the wording on the First4Figures website post about this statue: "REALA, from our all new NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams lineup", suggesting that there may be more JoD statues afterwards, IF you support Reala! It's all on us to show FIrst4Figures, and therefore SEGA, that we Don't Forget NiGHTS!
.jpg)
Even though I'm bloody skint, I'll still be saving every penny to get one of these beauties~!
