I've pretty much planned out and designed 95% of my next Dream now, so I'm ready to go as soon as I regain access. I just hope it releases by early April at the latest.
My new Dream will be a split-screen multiplayer sword fighting game, inspired by Mount and Blade; I expect it to be pretty unique in the Dreamiverse. I do need to make a few updates and additions to my Duck Quack minigame, before starting on the new one. What kinds of things does everyone else plan to make next?

More footage from IGN for the early access build of Dreams:

All this marketing already for early access, I feel like they might either release the week of Pax or right after.

I love the search function, type in tree and soo many different trees are coming :D
At the beginning I will search for lots of different things and when nothing comes, I try to make it.
they redid some stuff. the beginning area didn't look this detailed.
also i didn't look at description and saw how fast the creation was going and went yep that's Kareem lol
gonna go with a week before pax. just in case they decide to go offscript and show off user created content then.

I hate to be the one to break it to you but there is no split screen support (yet, not sure if planned). Maybe think about an alternate design (both on screen in same camera view or online multiplayer only). Good luck, sounds interesting!
Don't worry, I'm well aware of that limitation :p
Basically, my system will work with the two sides of the screen being used to fake two first person views, with puppets ahead to duplicate each player's actions on the opposite side. I'm not allowing direct camera control, but I will be simulating forwards and backwards movement, which can be faked by separating the ground into two sides and moving them independently.
Someone did actually make a Dream for that, its kind of janky but there method does work.
Yes, I played that creation, works a lot on calculated emiiting/destroying, not something that I think would scale well but would be ok for a simple game.
Here's an interesting video from Naughty Dog at GDC, regarding how they designed the mechanics for the 4x4 in Uncharted 4. Some of this could be applied in Dreams. There's a good method for car pathfinding AI, which takes into account the turning radius of the vehicle by using two circular detection zones.
I've been binging GDC talks lately. They're a great resource in general and can be really interesting in their own right. I've also been wondering about the process for creating vehicles in Dreams. I'm sure this is more advanced than the stuff I've been thinking about, but I can't wait to watch it anyway. Thanks!
There's some new info regarding templates in this Gamesradar article: https://www.gamesradar.com/the-next...w-media-molecule-is-empowering-new-gamemakers
this is such an awesome idea. hopefully they will include a third person shooter template a la uncharted
So creators can fully focus on creativity, artstyle etc and the mechanical part is pre done.
That sounds great !
That's really great. I think a lot of players who haven't done any game dev or programming before will feel overwhelmed, so providing a base gametype starting point is brilliant.
pretty sure none of these templates will help me aside from drilling into them to see how they work for my own projects.
Still this is a great thing to get people started.
Likely the average quality we'll see emerging from Dreams will be better than on LBP. Everything is just darn easy if you keep it simple.

March 16, Dreams will be at the SXSW Gaming Awards
March 20th - GDC
March 20th - GDC
The beta ended on 5th Feb. The only way people are still playing is by keeping their PS4 turned on / in rest mode and not connecting it online.
We're now all waiting to buy early access, which will begin in spring, most likely in April.
If your going as stir-crazy as I am waiting for Dreams, then tune in to the SXSW Awards Show, in 5 hours 20 min from this post:
I highly doubt we'll be getting any new info (or an early access date), but I can never say no to more Dreams!

The lack of firm release dates for even the early access program must be driving Sony marketing a bit mad (maybe almost as much as us). Marketing campaigns are usually started months in advance of launch.
Early access is more of a soft launch for hardcore fans. They'll be saving the marketing for the full release.
Sony is probably a lot more clued-in than us for the real release dates.
Generally yes, but it really depends on the particular title and development process.
In a case like this, they may have a general timeframe and already doing planning and concepting, but if the dev team is full steam ahead on development then it can be hard to finish up the marketing due to lack of access to game materials, etc.

Something is up with their broadcast because I saw a clip of them doing something earlier (see broadcast archive) so Idk if SXSW / Twitch messed things up or if it was technically before 5PST (7CDT)?
EDIT - maybe that was rehearsal? Mm themselves said "stay tuned" or whatever on their Twitter only about 20 minutes ago

Saw a bit from the show and that red panda cowboy trailer was not good imo and the crowd reaction was very quiet...
I've just been looking at the GDC schedule for Wednesday (20th March). There's going to be a musical performance between 12:10-12:30 PDT (7:10pm onwards UK time). This will be like the E3 Dreams performance, although I'm uncertain if it'll be streamed: https://schedule.gdconf.com/session...865033?_mc=blog_x_gdcsfr_le_x_gdcsf_x_x-GDC19
After this, at 12:30-13:30 PDT, Siobhan will be one of 3 speakers (with Sean Murray and Laralyn McWilliams). Naturally, Siobhan and Sean will be talking about Dreams and No Man's Sky, respectively. This is definitely planned to be streamed on the GDC Twitch channel: https://schedule.gdconf.com/session/gdc-main-stage-the-developers-journey/865034

for panel type stuff they have limited time but need/want to do audience participation, they default to 'make interesting character with traits shouted out from the audience'. Which is perhaps all that is reasonable in 30-60 mins. I'd prefer they maybe showed some user generated levels to showcase the diversity of experiences that can be created - leverage the beta output.
I am confident we will get a early access date :)
London Game Festival sounds like the perfect place for Mm to make the announcement.
