Do y'all "like" an asset when you use it in your scene? I do, but that seems to not be the norm. I am glad people are using stuff I made available, but a like would be nice geez...
its there.
when im in dreamshaping, i just scroll and see something that catches my eye and try it out. i don't use it but if its well done i give it a like.
Also anyone try out Xionbrium's The Peculiar Case of Dylan Rogers? Its giving me some Life is Strange vibe. the interaction with the environment could be fleshed out, but i like the direction they were going with it
So the map with the circles joined by wires is actually there. Where is it? Does it only appear when you insert a level link, and why are levels being published separately? I've played a few levels to completion now and none of them have automatically taken me to the part 2.
I think it's all in the way stuff is published. May be wrong.
the very last category in the create category when you choose. i think people just don't scroll that far to see it.
Oh, I'll take a look later! So people are just not using it at the moment then?
You can see if you've gone through a level link once you've finished a game. It's the circles in the top left with the lines between them.

Finally got around to playing Blue Marble Adventure last night. I really like that second level in the dark. Gaining powerups over time always makes games better. I also love just how tight it controls. That and Platform Jack. Dreams games can control really well.

Yeah, a lot of people are using level links, but they're pretty seamless, so it could be easy to not notice when it is happening.
You can finish it? I thought it was bugged and gave up. How do you get through the door?
You have to use the glow power you get on the sun platform.
I like everything that I use, its just the way people are, an extreme minority will like.
I think you can format it how you want, if you want people to be able select levels or straight continuations.
Hey Guys ... for those who can access the beta since the begining, how long did it to get your beta key ?
A
hard to tell but mine arrived early morning (7:30am CST) the day the beta released
Yeah, mine too. Email arrived at 8:27AM EST, but from MM. I guess the new ones will come from Sony? I'm really excited for more people to join.
since its sony, i expect around the time PSN store updates. which is about the time they get into work. which is also the time they leave work.
As others have said, this feature is in the beta. It's part of creating a complete Dream, a series of scenes linked by doorways, not just a single scene. e.g. When in Dream Surfing and you come across a complete Dream that has multiple scenes you get a map icon in addition to the play icon (if the creator allowed the individual scenes/map to be visible) and can see how the scenes link together with the circles & lines. When in Dream Shaping you get to edit the links between scenes.
Mm really needs to get a Dreams beta kit to Björk somehow. I know she would make incredible stuff in it, or at least hire incredible people to do it for her. I could totally see her doing a whole album based around Dreams levels.
Actually it'd be pretty cool to remake her Human Behaviour video by Michel Gondry in Dreams, I think it wouldn't be too hard

You do realise that Bjork and her producers have access to the best professional music software on the planet right? The music production capabilities of Dreams can't match FL Studio's base $80 package. The production software she uses is so far beyond what Dreams is capable of it's laughable to imagine she or anyone around her would even consider it. You might as well ask Stephen Spielberg to film his next summer blockbuster with an Iphone.
Well, that's why I said it would be cool to remake the video. Though as someone who has worked with a lot of audio production software over the years, I'll say that Dreams's audio capabilities are no joke from what I've seen and messed with in the beta, and in some cases outclass certain features. It's far beyond what anyone would reasonably expect from a game.
Nothing after 2 hours.
I just wanna play Dreams next week, please don't make me try and wrestle some fun out of RDR2 please MM :/

We're waiting for tomorrow. It's usually US west coast time for Sony stuff, I thought? That's what I'm expecting anyway.
read over the welcome to the dreams beta email. NDA is still up. then head over to https://feedback.indreams.me/
do the tutorials they provide. don't be a me and gloss over it. Use the search on the forum because most likely what you want to know was answered already.
don't be the person to publish a penis just because you can make one.
also another weekly creations spotlight / tips and tricks stream tomorrow over at http://www.twitch.tv/mediamolecule. same time. 12/11am CST. 5 PM GMT

I really hope some person is out there making sound effects. That's one thing that seems too tedious and annoying for me to ever do myself. Like I might edit or tweak some, but to be the person who makes engine sounds, foot steps, doors opening, sea gulls, dog barks, car horns, etc. No thanks lol.
Solid tips. I was't a fan of that forum software at first, but now that I've figured my way around it's not too bad. I use the Search over there a lot because as you said, someone has probably had the same question. Often times the dreamer would laster post a remixable version with the "fix" so you could see.
I think I've published more of those than anything. All of them are in use in many creations because they were pretty basic and missing from the beta. I needed them for my own use.
You can record anything using a microphone (PS camera, headset mic, supported USB mic, etc), but official audio import into Dreams was disabled early on in the beta. I posted an alternate PC audio import solution in the forums. Works ok but not as convenient.
Yeah, I was afraid to say anything, but that is how I got my first few in the game, until someone ruined it for us all. Do you happen to have a link to your alternative PC import?
So I was thinking about the crazy way you can "play" instruments in Dreams with a gamepad, dragging it through the effects fields and such, just a really trippy way to use gestures and button presses to intuitively create sound. Even if you can't play the real instrument, you could fake it in Dreams. And then I realized... that shit will be possible in VR, and had to sit down for a second for a Keanu "Woah". Can you imagine seeing those fields represented in 3D space and using motion controls to "paint" music? There's probably a better way to describe that lol, but that's the first thing that came to mind. Abstract VR instruments... like I'm not crazy, right? I mean that's kind of a new / interesting thought? Someone is going to make an epic VR mixing stage where you're staring at your time lines, effect fields, instrument shortcuts all in 3D space, and it's going to be like being a conductor-DJ-musician wearing Minority Report gloves. Or not. Idk, maybe I'm nuts.
Damn. Saw a mail from playstation and was super excited... But it was just for buying the Resident Evil 2 Demo.
Come on Sony, make me happy 😂

They cover basics in most areas, except puppet sculpting which is what they mentioned in last week's stream and why they spent more time on that area.
Ichi comes in announces they got the email and immediately bounces. lol Hey next time let us know region haha.
Ah okay thanks.
Ah okay thanks.
Everyone had a chance to enter, and they'll try to get as many of those in as possible. They can't just have the beta be wide open though, their servers would probably melt. Plus it would be more feedback than a small team like could deal with. And the whole NDA thing.
