I wouldn't

Survival Horror Moomin game could work surprisingly well. Some of the cartoon episodes were scary af as a kid.

Why though

>Watch the first episode because I keep hearing from Sup Forums that its good
>Expect light hearted cartoon
>Get spoopy show masquerading as a childrens cartoon

That chapter (the one with Hippie Prophet vs. No-fun-allowed Prophet, I wish I knew the English chapter name) is based, the best of the Moomin comic chapters.

...

Open world, Hemulin wants a flower in a dangours location so you have to find it, Adventures with the hobgoblin, randomly fly clouds, explore, do up your house, kick it and fish with Snufkin, take a boat out and explore the world, Multiplayer

...

I want to fuck that snek

...

...

There's a few Moomin games, there's one on the DS that looks pretty delightful and looks like an adventureish game with a lot of story. Japanese though, so get learning those runes.

The Sunsoft GBC game isn't bad either - simple platformer with a few minigames but still has charm.

Moominvalley in November point and click adveture game

The perfect Moomin game already exists. Or at least it did, because last I tried I couldn't find this masterpiece anywhere.

...

Apparently the chapter name is "Moomin Begins a New Life". It's the 8th chapter.

...

Slice of life Pint-and-Click quest.

...

Either something to do with roaming around the valley as Snufkin, finding shit and enjoying the fine things in life or a Chrono Trigger style group RPG where you head to the mountains on some adventure pretense with the Moomin House Posse.

...

FUCK

That pink imp on the bottom right is Moomin isn't it?

I'd play an adventure game based on Moominpappa's early life travelling with The Joxter.

After he exited the Hobgoblin's hat

...

If you didn't watch the Japanese cartoon as a kid, your childhood was worthless.

What's your favorite Moomin comic, lads?

The one where Moomin dad moves them all to a lighthouse to gain inspiration for his novel had me on the floor when I read it, there's just too many good bits in it.

...

Never seen much of it in the US, but for some reason it is super popular in Japan

If you haven't been to Moominhouse Café yet you need to reevaluate your priorities in life.

Childhood is idolizing the Moomin cartoon. Adulthood is realizing the comic makes more sense.

...

...

metal as fuck

...

The Moomin anime was super-popular kids show in Sweden in the 80's/90s. Still love the series to this day. Not sure how I would make a game though. An exploration game maybe. Or Moomin Musou. All I know it that Morran would be the final boss and the level would be filled with Hattefnattar.

Found it, thanks user.

I rewatched the cartoon as a 20+ year old and unironically still enjoyed it. The power of nostalgia is obviously a part of it.

The comic strip is edgier and funnier certainly. But the cartoon is comfier (though weirdly enough also spookier when it wants to be) and has a better feel of adventure. Both are excellent.

adventure game platforman

how about you read the fucking books

...

From what I've seen something like a point and click adventure would probably work well with it.

...

>No harmonica
Do you even comfy?

...

I fucking wouldn't. Some things are sacred.
Though gotta agree that when I was bab some episodes were spooky maximum. Whoever made the music for that show is a goddamn genius

Motherfucker you didn't even INVOLVE THE FUCKING GHOST SHIP EPISODES WHAT THE FUCK

Also super, super popular in Finland.

Ou yeah, this was the scene when Moomin woke up during his hibernation right?
Or maybe when he had a fever? I can't tell.

...

The books are really depressing sometimes. I can only read them when I'm in the mood.

I used to watch the cartoon on VHS with my Finnish grandma and she would translate for me and my sister. Good times. There was a game I remember on PC I had as a kid where you plan a party at the Moomin house or something.

It's from Moominpappa at Sea

This Moomin stuff was never in my country, but it sure looks interesting. I know it's popular in Japan at least. I should watch the 90s anime.

>my mfw when I learned that the Moomin cartoon I watched as a kid was an ANIME

reminder

I see an open world adventure game with an Animal Crossing vibe.

Tove Jansson must have been incredibly depressed.

How did the anime end?

>Moominvalley in November (Swedish: Sent i november, 'Late in November'; Finnish: Muumilaakson marraskuu) is the ninth and final book in the Moomin series by Finnish author Tove Jansson, and was first published in both her native Swedish and English in 1971. Set contemporaneously with her previous novel Moominpappa at Sea (1965), it is the only installment in the series where the titular Moomin family are actually absent. Instead it focuses on a set of other characters, including Snufkin, who come to live at Moominhouse during the onset of winter whilst its inhabitants are away, and the various interactions which they have with each other.

>Like Moominpappa at Sea, the work is more somber in tone than previous books in the series, and it has been suggested that this is a direct result of the death of Jansson's mother, Signe Hammarsten-Jansson, during the year that it was written. Because of this, it has been described as being a "textbook on letting go, being a mature orphan, existing spiritually alone" and features a young orphan looking for a mother as one of its primary characters. Following this work, Jansson later stated that she "couldn't go back and find that happy Moominvalley again" and so decided to stop writing the Moomin books.

How incredibly sad

i happened upon moomin during one of the worst depressive episodes of my life and it was so wholesome and good and beautiful that it imparted a warmth, however small, to my heart i sat watching, feeling like someone who had collapsed from exhaustion, every morning (i wanted to make it last, so i only watched an episode a day, sometimes two if i simply could not wait) and no matter how awful i felt, or how little sleep i got or how bad my dreams were, or how terrible things were and how much worse they were going to get after i got done watching, for as long as i was with the moomins i felt like i was being allowed simply to lay there in my exhaustion, and catch my breath and rest just enough that i became conscious of the ground beneath me instead of just the effort of keeping up the pace
anyway i've been in that place again and seeing this thread brought back some unexpected pleasant memories, so thanks OP

Silly americans, there are already moomin games
I remember it being really hard

These little guys were always my favorite.

Man, this thread reminded me of how good the moomins cartoon is.
We had so many episodes recorded on VHS and since I was a dumb little kid with no logical thinking, any time I wanted to see a particular episode I would just insert a random VHS and watch every episode until I came across the one I wanted to see.
The show was so comfy. Then it was suddenly anxiety-inducing and scary as hell. Then it was back to comfy living, eating mom's cooking and making berry juice or whatever.
Nice times.

Damn.

That makes sense. Isn't it Finnish?

>she "couldn't go back and find that happy Moominvalley again"

...

...

Moomins was originally written by Tove Jansson, a Fennoswede. The Cartoon was a Japanese-Finnish-Netherlands (apparently), collaboration, although it was mostly made in Japan with creative input from the others.
The cartoon had an amazing Finnish dub and was constantly on TV thanks to it's many, many episodes so kids at that time became very familiar with it.

>Following this work, Jansson later stated that she "couldn't go back and find that happy Moominvalley again" and so decided to stop writing the Moomin books.

...

Oh shit, I have a few of these. This was the best shit ever back when I was a kid. Need to go see if I can find them.

...

Voi vittu, i didn't expect feels

I vaguely remember playing the moomins game about the invisible girl, Ninni.
She was one of my favorite characters too, her voice was adorable and she had a little bell.
..Also it was low-key implied that she was naked when invisible.

it's moominmamma in the lighthouse

Remember that mobile gaming ruins everything.
I dont want Moomin to be a fucking jew game.

...

Tove never would have approved.

Was just going to post this.

>tfw thinking of all those old, small games that are now lost to the times

>Has the Moomin Characters trademark
>but not the Dennis Livson mark of quality
And thats how you know if some moomin products a shit

I wouldn't cause I respect the franchise and don't want to apply a catheter up a moomins ass to jew out as much profit as possible while completely sterilize the whole thing.

i remember reading a book about moomin. it was about a magical hat and going through the hat. i dont remember the details but i remember the feeling i had while reading it. it was pleasant, like nothing else, it kept me reading it more and more. i couldnt find anything about it later on since i was technology illiterate and nobody else knew about it. ever wondered if a book in your past changed your perspective in life or personality? thx for a reminder op

You tear up you lose.

I remember someone at my school made a series of platformers based on moomin. I wish I saved those files.

she might have been a lezzer, but weirdly cute in a way i really like

...

You should read the letters she send to her lover
Cutest and heartwarming shit youll ever see
Also, Too-Ticky is based on her lover and Thingumi and Bob (Tiuhti & Viuhti in Finn) are them as a couple

...

Quest-adventure and nothing more. Kyrandia-style, but with less wordplay and, of course, less deaths..

I know all her personal stuff, but I haven't read the lettres. Are they just available?
