Man, I wish these had links to all of these games in the description!
Battle Tops is a good one from way back when. Also made by an Era user.
Oooh...
This is the type of stuff that I've enjoyed most on Dreams so far.
Being able to make custom themes for your XMB would be legit.
Pre-ordered for delivery tomorrow after following this thread. Some really fantastic stuff on display.
These kind of Dreams really make me want to invest in a pair of move controllers.
Sculpting with them must be an absolute blast.
Your enemy animations have a really nice sense of weight to them, great stuff!
30 minute timelapse on his process to make it
This walkthrough video is EXCELLENT and is very inspiring. Stuff like this that timelapses through the sculpting process should give people a really good idea of what you can do and how you can do it easily!
Good lord is this for real? incredible stuff man. Can't believe you made this in dreams, more like can't believe dreams lets people create such amazing content. Can't wait to try it out!
Media Molecule really did nailed the art-style...
Also not a bad pic choice for Metacritic's front-page.
It looks really well made. And most of all, it looks polished. Good job ! It's one of the first thing I'll try when I'll receive the game tomorrow :)
Do you have any previous experience in game dev / 3D ?
I really recommend following Martin on twitter for all his excellent sculpting timelapses :)
I played a mario kart clone, it should be pretty prominent when you're dream surfing, and I t surprised me just how natural it felt as I was half way round the first lap. It could be improved for sure but it is a really well made karting game at this stage already. Like it really felt like a true game if you know what I mean.
That's the power of Dreams. It's probably made by 2 or three people and maybe even just one person, and the early access game has only been out a year. The collaborative and sharing nature of Dreams will have that kind of snowball effect in years to come as more and more well realised concepts and designs get made which other people can utilise. If you want to make a short film you can find just about any prop that you need from small things to building and even entire cityscapes, so you don't need to worry about building all that, as one example. This thing is going to snowball for sure. Tip of the iceberg right now.

No experience at all. Before Dreams, the closest I've ever come to game development is Far Cry map editors and things like that. Now I'm obsessed.
I've not checked any new tutorials (if there are any), but in the beta the tutorials did a fantastic job of getting you up to speed with everything.
That time lapse above is great, but definitely follow along with the in game tutorials for things you're interested in first.
I watched parts of Gribble's first look video of it. Looks really good. Gonna add it to queue.
Here's the link to first game
GREAT JOB, HUMAN!
NOTE: THIS GAME REQUIRES THE USE OF DS4 MOTION CONTROLS AND MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT THEM. Meet your new best friend and guide him through a tech wasteland in search of 12 ancient relics. Use your imp to help him traverse and survive.
Here's the demo link
SUPER GREAT JOB, HUMAN! - DEMO
ROM has awoken in OBSOLENCIA, a purgatory for obsolete technology. Guided by his new friend, THE COMMODORE, he searches Obsolencia for the ancient relics that may help him escape his fate.
Presumably it's this? I have it in my play later queue.
Ommy Kart
Join Ommy and his friends, Artio, Stanley & Frederick Fox, as they drift and race their karts around Starfish Island. Try to beat your own time whilst dodging ducks and taking tight turns!
I'm so hyped for this, looking at the amazing stuff people have already created is mind blowing and it's still early days. Can you imagine what things people will have made in a few months.
PSVR support is where I am most excited though so can't wait for that, I think this will be a must own for PSVR owners once that content starts coming out.

That is some of the most inspiring stuff I've seen in a long time, and I was even at the blender conference 5 months ago. God damn I can't wait to get some time with this during the weekend.
To paraphrase the intro, I now have an 'Idea'.
Gonna start working on it over the weekend. I still need to think of the meat of it, but I know what I want to achieve now at least.

And all those videos are from several months ago, you have to see the things people are making now.
So many it's impossible to pick the best. I'm a massive Crash fan I was over the moon with this one. It's an I.P but it plays surprisingly well and there are 7 levels to dig into including some boss fights:
I think I'm going to pick this up now. I will no doubt only be playing other people's creations.
Gotta say that I've watched many stuff made in Dreams and yours is the first time I see one of its kind with pretty good animations and sense of weight. Atmosphere looks great to boot.
And this is only the beginning. Good job!

OP
Seeing the Dreams category on Twitch with so many people right now feels so weird. I'm glad to see it this high, I wonder if it'll die down after the first couple of days and the initial hype
That's great, all of you 4 are among my favorite creators on Dreams and i can't wait to see what you guys are going to do with the new tools that are in the final game.
If you go into the level map and click on a scene bubble there's a tiny marker up in the top left that says how many prizes are in a scene and how many you've collected.
That's the one. It plays so naturally. Most stuff on Dreams still doesn't so when you see when someone nails it it's rather satisfying.Presumably it's this? I have it in my play later queue.

one thing I've noticed in Dreams is that most creators have made the most insanely weird default control choices. Racing games where you use a face button to accelerate and the trigger to do something silly. I don't get it. Why haven't we gamers settled on default controls for various game types by how. The pro industry pretty much has lol.
I think I'm going to buy this finally and start fucking around on Saturday. I think I'll start simple and just try making some sculpts and stuff but I've got a ton of game ideas I'd like to start attempting to make. I think maybe a top down old school style zelda game might be relatively simple to start with.
Full video is fun - they've made the set and characters remixable on dreams too :)
If you haven't checked out Rayman 4 in Dreams yet you definitely should.
got an hour or so into the story mode. It's so delightful oh my lord. As someone who likes learning about game design for fun, it's cool seeing all the tiny, 20-second long sequences in the game where it feels like the dev is saying "you could make an entire game around this one little bit!". Love the vibe it gives off too. The tutorial at the very beginning where you're messing around with the gyroscope, launching all of the fireworks... it resonated with me in a way I wasn't expecting. Felt like I was a baby or a toddler, experiencing all the wonders the world has to offer for the very first time, one right after another.
I also doubt myself constantly, and deal with a lot of personal feels of not being able to create anything worthwhile. That wall of doubt sequence really hit me hard. I hope I can tear my own wall down. Can't wait to finish up the story tonight, and dig into the creative mode when I work up the courage this weekend.

I liked Shifting Islands by SlurmMackenzie from a long time ago. I haven't really kept up with what has been happening the last few months though.
Have you ever played Mario Kart? lol
But I agree, Mm should have tried to push creators to some kind of default button mapping, e.g. by naming the controls in a controller sensor in a certain way, or maybe even just a tutorial or document trying to establish some standards.
