Damn, I want to remake the newest Garou fight in the One Punch man. I haven't done any 3d modeling but they way these guys make creation seem so easy I think I can do it.
I have never actually seen this video but its amazing to see and actually something I mentioned about selling Dreams to the public at large. Just give it to creative types even those not in the videogame field and just let them make what they want. I also think getting this into the hands of students would do very well for it.
I wonder if the level creation process would work as smoothly with a normal DS4 controller.
Also wow at the guy who made that garden environment in under 5 minutes. The way some people are able to easily visualise things is just incredible to me. I can't wait to see what other creators out there are able to make with these tools. The level creator looks insane.

Everything at PSX was done using the DS4 and MediaMolecule has tweeted saying almost all of their level designers use the dualshock exclusively.
Can't wait to get my hands on it... might try my hand at asset creation, music creation... maybe even level creation since it looks relatively easy.
I've seen most things done with a ds4, pretty sure that's how it's supposed to be played. Only time I've seen moves used is for sculpting.
I don't have a move controller so that's great news. I think I might actually try my hands at creating a level this time round. It looks really fun.
Back in the day, I got into Little Big Planet with the intent of making all sorts of stuff. And that didn't work out too well. I found my place floating around different people's levels through Little Big Planet 1 and 2. It's really incredible what people make and there's a lot of it.
From the looks of things getting from level to level will be easier and dreams. That's great because if there was one thing that could be improved in the Little Big Planet exploration experience it was the load times between levels. Those load times could be long but otherwise I was in heaven.

Yeah, I think I screwed around with a LBP level for a while and bounced off pretty hard. I also didn't really care about the campaign or the focus on multiplayer. I still don't know if I'll care about the SP campaign in Dreams--nothing I saw really excited me--but I think I'll be sinking some heavy time into it as a creative tool.
Having seen this game in person at PSX, from a creative view this was the next step forward that I always wanted LBP to take. Not only is there a greater depth in the creation tools, but there also stands an unmatched ease of development. From the level space, to the music creation, down to the logic system . . . everything has a whole other dimension (or two) of capabilities that wasn't there before.
I would love to see this video slowed down so that you can see more details about how these were made. This is amazing.
I like that you can just go in and do one thing in Dreams compared to LBP. I don't have to create a whole level; I can just make a gameplay mechanic that then can be used by more creative individuals or I can take someone's really cool looking sculpture and just animate it.
Hmmm my initial dream may take awhile think I'll make smaller ones while simultaneously making the backgrounds,characters etc for the big one
If you check out the MediaMolecule twitch channel, there's a ton of streams they did last year where they were sculpting scenes.
Yeah, this is key. From what we've seen so far, at least the basic tools seems quite intuitive. My 6-year old loves the worldbuilding part in Minecraft, in which he unleashes the strangest characters and stories. I personally can't stand the artstyle and graphics in Minecraft, and I quickly get bored looking at it, but Dreams looks right up my alley. So I will really encourage him to try it :)
It'd take so much work but holy shit this'd be dope (they'd have to import the video files for the trailers for 2020 games though I guess)
that first one is amazing. i'm going have so much fun with this!
This isn't mentioned very often but is perfect for this thread. Alex Evans presented Learning From Failure at SIGGRAPH 2015 and Umbra Ignite 2015, a talk about all of the R&D effort they put into the Dreams engine and the failures and final technology that they use:

Firstly, no one would even consider the possibility Dreams could 'blow up like Minecraft' and secondly, Sony won't be considering it either.
Yeah same here, i really appreciate what Minecraft is for kids but just couldn't stand playing with the ugly textures and blocky look. My daughter played Deagon Quest Builders and said it looked much better as well.
Still nothing is coming like Dreams. I hope it captures a nice big community at least as big as LBP.
So beautiful.
So someone is definitely making Ori with Dreams
I've seen this before, but it just occurred to me how strange it is that she never once changes the perspective, not even when working on the details that are half off-screen or occluded by the robot. Is it "faked" in the sense that she did move the camera around when modelling and the fixed perspective was just recorded separately for the video?
Yeah, it is a bit strange, isn't it. I genuinely think she made it but, like you said, she doesn't once change the perspective. At first I thought it was just because she was mirroring what she was doing this side but the far side is different, so it can't be that. I wonder if we can view it from any angle in some kind of 'spectator' mode?
There sure could be if a second player were connected to the session.
Honestly, this wasn't even on my radar before PSX.
I never really engaged with LBP, I played a bit of the Campaign and then bailed on it without creating anything.
Everything I keep hearing about this and what you can do it in just boggles the mind though, it is crazy. If they pull it off it could be one of the most innovative games of all time.

You can create your own Diablo-style game with random loot. That's amazing! I really can't wait to finally buy Dreams.
When you see that Ori type level, it makes me think how big Dreams could be, cause everyone is going to be able to do, pretty easily, platformers that are most beautiful than most actual indy platformers. That should change some things.
Also the tools seem so amazing, powerful and intuitive, i wonder if there will be a before and after dreams for different game making soft. It raises the bar pretty violently.

This is getting me hyped, will probably play LBP 2 again when I have time. (I would play LBP 3, but it barely works with how buggy it is :p)

Can't wait for the new year and some of the more in-depth streams that are coming our way.
I hope some aspiring film-makers pick this up and produce some stunning stuff.

That needs to happen. In fact, this reminds me an old article from IGN.

I've actually wondered if Sony could release the creation tools of Dreams as its own separate program for people in a variety of different visual arts fields to work with. That or Sony is bold and just release Dreams for the PC but I can't see that happening considering Sony's history with first party releases by their major studios. Still it would be cool if down the road Sony actually attempted to push the game as a serious creative tool for artists of all kinds.
