I haven't created anything, you just get on and try different games . I didn't realize how fun that is. Just give it a shot.
I mean, I'll take it if you REALLY don't want it lol. But you should probably give a shot.
This looks like it could be a Mm game! I'd love to explore more of that.
Love the comment about the size of your feet when you pick the largest shoe size. Gave me a good chuckle.
Can someone recommend a good tutorial about creating a custom character (sculpting/animating/controls), preferably one that's easy to understand like the official ingame tutorials?
Getting more and more comfortable with sculpting and logic, but whenever I try creating a character I fall flat on my face.
And I'm not even trying to create something elaborate or something, just a simple shape with legs and simple controls.

if you want something that looks like a puppet but with your own 'bits' - the easiest way is probably to either
1) sculpt the body parts separately, then while holding each one, scope in to the puppet while focused on the relevant standard part until you get to the level of the original sculpt. That'll 'stick' your sculpt to the original
2) scope in as above and sculpt directly on each body part
By using the standard puppet you'll have controls automatically and first step can be tweaking the sliders to adjust how it feels to move around
animation - check this weeks Tuesday Mm stream which talks about animation including puppet animation, idle animatjons
For animating these two are the easier to follow I've found.
The second one tackles a bit on preferred ways to create a characer.
Is there one that covers general animation/cutscenes/transitions/key frames etc?
Played this little puzzle game yesterday. It's not too hard, but one can't help but wonder how they actually pulled the logic for this off.

Hm, how do people post links to indreams.me with the fancy preview pics :/

There might but I'm still in this phase of trying animating simple stuff like walking. I don't want to venture beyond that lol
What I've noticed is that most tutorials are from many months ago and some things changed so it might be confusing.
The character I'm trying to make is just a simple shape with legs, imagine a Tic Tac with small legs, no other bodyparts or limbs. Would that work as well? Can I just delete the parts I don't need and only use parts I do need?
Much appreciated! I'll check these out.
have a play - I think you can scope in and delete what you don't need. Or alternatively try scoping in and turning the bits you don't need invisible and not collidable. Not tried either so try the Deleting first and see how it behaves
I really wish you could just view every single stage you play entirely in edit mode. I want to properly see what people are doing and how they're doing it.
i would recommend pieceofcraft for those interested in animation. i would check out his past streams on twitch for ideas. he should be streaming 5 days a week now. he mentioned it yesterday.
Dreams have people doing team announcement.

you post the link directly into the comment box, vs. using the insert link utility. It's a little backwards, I know.
If anyone wanted to see the second part of our play through of Damned, the creator has locked skills until you progress in the story which is pretty clever:
Damned is a great game, I've only played a bit but it felt like a classic PS1 game :)
Played through Art's Dream, the finale is great stuff. The struggle of self-doubt felt real to me, it's great when games explore that stuff.
Little bit more confident with sculpting, but I'm far from there yet. Still it's better than I was yesterday.

I gotta play that tomorrow. Looks very nice.
edit: wait, is this not playable yet?

have you adjusted the sensitivity and camera speed in preference? how long did you use each for?
Everyone search Sideway in dreamsurfing if you want a puzzle game.
they turned off their profile so i can't get a link.

Is there any way to turn off lighting effects in edit mode? Im trying to edit the insides of a "castle" but its pitch black in there, and I keep having to add light just to see in there while editing which seems veeeeeery inefficent
There's an option to use studio lighting in the view menu.
EDIT: Actually, it's in the guides menu. ( Push square > grid icon> studio light icon)
The Twilight Shift
Another late night at the office... First person, story-driven horror game.
omfg, I'm soooo stoked for this. I wonder if it plays as good as it looks, cuz it's looking pretty tight.
Is there a way to make a remix or my own element the original? I used the remix button to tryout different versions of my character, and then later saved the group as a new element. Now I'm stuck with a bunch of interdependent files can't delete without deleting everything.
It indeed does look really good and knowing that the creator wants to work on it until april before he releases it does gives me hope it won't be a 5 minute experience.
i don't think this was posted but its a timelapse of Dragon's Penance Logo being made.

This is a poster for upcoming game on which I'll be working in Dreams after the release.<br>Thank you Mm for the opportunity to be a part of this great community.<br>In this piece we used music "Absent" by MetroTactics. Many thanks for sharing it!
I think this is going to be one with long legs. Many oppurtunities to re-market the game with the PSVR support, Online Support and PS5 port at later dates.
Sale is terrible...
The game has sold at least 310.000 copies. That is quite bad for a PS4 exclusive. However in the last week it sold about 100.000 extra copies. So that does mean Dreams has insane legs. The word of mouth is really helping the game. Let's hope those legs continue in the coming weeks and months.

is that all you came to post?

"Using PS4 Remote Play to have reference overlay on screen"
Oh man, I feel dumb now. I was seeing some of these tight fonts being sculpted and thinking...are they overlaying something on their friggin' TV screen?? That makes a lot more sense. Though I don't know how he keeps from bumping the edge a bit with the imp and making it misalign. Any guesses?
Secondly, how do you access the RGB color options?
he took 3 slider gadgets, and attached it to a combiner gadget (switch it to color), Wired output to the color input of the dummy object.
