It's under NDA.
edit: Actaully Lifeline is right. She was shown off in one of the recent streams.
She's in this one with Pinstripe Larry, another by the same creator:
crooked anne was in the stream a couple weeks ago
little witch from the first beta stream
timestamps should take you to the right spot
Cheers guys x
I wonder if there will be characters that have more detail in the face, and not such a cartoony artstyle.
I want to make a blade runner style character, so while it does not have to be massively detailed the head shape will have to be more rectangular.

There was the shiny metal head in this week's stream that looked pretty great. You can definitely get realistic looking heads - animation would be the challenge because these are 'solid' sculptures. You could do simple animation stop-motion style by having replacement heads/mouth shapes/eyes - the LBP level uses a similar trick to do the hats. But it would be a lot of work
Yes, there are already faces that look less cartoony than these. It's entirely down to the creator. We'll see some faces pretty close to photo realism once the game's been on the market for a while.
Is it possible to get completely rid of the "flecks" or is it part of how the engine works? For example in the PT Recreation you can clearly see the dreams-esque flecks in the wall when he's turning the corner... It seems as though it's not possible to create just flat solid clean surfaces for some reason?
I think this is how the engine works. Likely cloud of point has small bits of textures instead of points, it's just the agreggation/size/density of them will give you a volume.
A high density pack of smaller size flecks might give you a more precise shape, but when you optimize, you will see them.
But again, only suppositions right now :)
I see so it might be possible to almost get rid of them but that would take up a lot of the thermometer? Are you in the beta btw?
Some of the stuff I was most impressed with turned out to be from MM developers, we just didn't know it was them until they revealed themselves.
IMO, that could be gotten rid of or made much less noticeable, but the game still uses flecks. John demoed how he sharpens edges of a rock on the last stream actually, jumps to that bit below:

I wonder this too. Also can you check if you're able to get into indreams.me? Not sure if we're supposed to yet but last time I know there were people who could get into there before they got their code.
They've also said that the final EU wave should be going out around 2PM GMT, which is in 17 minutes.
Nothing on the Mm Twitter, but I think codes went out at 2pm on Friday so hoping they'll be sent out shortly. I'm also hoping I didn't screw up my registration and a code is on it's way!
I think they said US codes will be Wednesday due to the public holiday today?
Also you can turn off collisions on individual parts. I was messing around on a face with facial animations. The eyeball were mobile and I had eyelid that moved in and out of the head around the eyeball. Also I had a jaw that moved in the head. The surface and color match on both parts and the shape of the pieces were so that it appeared pretty seamless. The eyes, eyelids and jaw had collisions turned off.
He could just tighten that up. It's easy. I guess he's just blocking and adding at this point. I do agree with you on the flecks. They are a bit of a tell tale sign it's made in Dreams. Some people have done a good job of hiding them though.

The more realistic you go for the character the more realistic you'll need all your other assets to be. Simple and less realistic art style would better mix with the environment and everything else you build around your character.
It's definitely possible to create more realistic graphics though.
Same, I'm getting some wipes ready for the inevitable tears.
Expect the worst and you'll never be disappointed as they say.
That's what I usually do, yes.
But I'm too much in love with Dreams to pretend it ain't gonna hurt me when I don't get in... haha
Lol same tbh... For some reason I'm feeling very pessimistic about getting a code after being disappointed over and over so far haha
Nothing here... they say they'll tweet when they've been sent.
I guess this is where we find out if we mistyped our usernames ;(
Given how simple it is, I'd feel like crap if I mistyped it...
I used gyro controls with PS Now games (on PC), so I'd be shocked if it didn't work with Remote Play.
Yes, or you'd have no way to select anything on screen since the imp is your pointer. I've also used remote play to bring in some sound effects.
Yeah, I just wasn't sure, thanks!
I forgot to check because I was using Remote Play with the Steam Controller the first time I tried the game, and the gyro (clearly) won't work that way. I really have to play some more before the beta ends.
If you're from the US, those go out on Wed.

Sincerely hope I'm eligible... (Sincerely hope I didn't mistype...)
i didn't have much time lately. with work + Gym. so that's another jam i miss RIP.
with that said, Outer Space is about to end. what do you guys think the next jam will be? it has to be something related to the community. there usually is a theme they pick if majority of people do it without being told lol
