WTF
Demon's Penance
I don't know the creator
just stole it from the dreams subreddit
but this is blowing my mind
OP
OP
Theres some but due to technical issues with streaming, it won't be resolved until later tonight
but theres a few on twitch that can get you started

Good for you. Really. Dreams is an on ramp. It lowers the barrier to entry for people to be creative around music, video, animation. If that inspires you to get into something you love like music, and then explore other tools - fantastic. But for others that might feel they can't/don't want to use more complex tools, Dreams is a great option
looking at a stream i saw the battle tops game, looks great and the "Shifting islands" that looks cool
really? That wasn't my takeaway from it at all. I thought it was a great showcase of a couple things; What I saw was an absolutely beautiful UI and absurdly detailed and animated robot. I hope more creators like that will make the guts of their display effects & logic available to the rest of the community. Being able to slot that into different types of games will be a huge boon, imo.
This part has me convinced this is a joke post. Right?
Ahhhaha what a take. sorry bud, I guess Dreams ain't for you then. Shame too. Really though, assuming you read what MM put out regarding what the beta was & (more importantly) wasn't , what did you expect this was going to be?

You do realize thats only 3 of like 100 creations MM has made right. Those are not the best 3 either, Explain to me how thier hasnt been a good dream published either man?
all the popular user created demos i played were basically empty levels. pretty but with no gameplay.
its great to see user created levels with that kind of visual fidelity but the gameplay is what matters to me.
So this was created using Dreams???? No way! That's insane.Direct from this
Question about Dreams VR mode. Does DreamVR mode allow users to create VR experiences or just the tools to be used in VR? If it is the formal then that will be a game changer for PSVR as there will be loads of VR content coming (I hope this is true). Has MM talked much about the Dreams VR stuff?
I just want a way to use my digital piano through USB for music creation. I could make music so much quicker. I really hope Sony adds midi support with PS5
VR is not in the beta yet. What they said is you will be able to both create in VR and play in VR (with title that are made compatible for it). Suppose to be there day 1.
And yes this will be a big boost for PSVR.
YES!!!! That's great news. Can't wait to see what folks do with this. This tool is beyond impressive. Bravo MM.
That's what I was thinking too. All non-PS exclusives can now come to PS4 lol (I know most of them will not be possible)
You want gameplay: Go to recommended.
2nd Dream: Prometheus - FPS
5th Dream: Fret Star - Guitar Hero
6th Dream: Polarity - Platformer
12th Dream: Marbelous - Sonic Like Platformer
13th Dream: Slayer Scrolls - RPG
17th Dream: Porto - Platformer
21st Dream: Gold Valley - Puzzle
22nd Dream: Time Corruption - Puzzle Platformer
I can go on..
If your gonna troll at least provide some evidence.
i know but it being an on ramp has nothing to do with what i was trying to convey to that poster lol
you should have replied to him with this instead of me
They have a prototype MIDI-via-OSC thing they cooked up, but it's not working in the beta. I don't know if it'll make it for launch, but they're definitely aware of the need/desire to support external MIDI equipment.
i aint sure since 2d stuff is hard to do, but there's a pong game.
The only thing I want for now is a release date. This is so good.
Yes, there are plenty of dreams with gameplay, but still, gameplay is hard to do which explains why there are so much dreams without actual gameplay.
Now that the NDA is gone, I'd like to say I'm really impressed by how intuitive the UI is, how excellent the tutorials are and largely everything about Dreams outside of a few minor quibbles.
I'm not very proficient at coding or art, but being able to bring to life some sort of basic turn based battle system in a game with an isometric view within of a few short hours was incredibly rewarding.
My goal is to replicate Dungeons and Dragons the best I can, and see how well I can use that fro my DnD sessions. I know a redditors already made quite extensive headway towards that as is.

yeah if/when they add a midi controller, that's going to allow people to take the music to the absolute next level. its gonna get crazy
there's just so much potential with it. i cant wait for more people to get their hands on it
Honestly, just making a straightforward Bushido Blade-type lightsaber game would be cooler than anything we've seen from EA thus far.
And you could most assuredly make something like that with this engine.
lol why would i troll about this. whats the matter with you.
i played several demos. you can look at my history if thats available to everyone. the only game i played on your list was slayer scrolls though i admit i didnt go all the way down to the 22nd dream.
It's only been a month and this's the first time the game was offered to the public. We already have quite a few dreams with good gameplay that can be improved upon greatly once people have more time with the game.
Your expectations are not realistic if you're expecting games that plat the same as games that were made in years.
If you actually play the level it is apparently the work of a couple duo. The creator's wife writes while they sculpt/make gameplay to go along with it. Very exciting to see what small dev teams can accomplish!
Is it possible to paint clothing onto characters, and more importantly, is it possible to make certain textures like leather and make patterns or would it be better and less thermo expensive to sculpt clothing for these effects? Thanks in advance.
you would have to model/sculpt the clothing onto the character, and then paint that part of it with a shiny finish/texture thats to your liking. there are a few different finishes/textures in right now, but none of them have the wrinkles/lines that you would find on leather. if you wanted it that specific, you'd have to model that in yourself
I believe painting is pretty cheap from a thermo perspective. And painting onto characters is how people make flowing stuff in Dreams...fabric, hair, etc.
I doubt that Sony & MM would add a donate button, but people can always DM the creator and ask for their PayPal / Patreon
This is just early days pre release stuff imagine after it releases and people master all the tools etcetc and experts at creating many stuff dayum and with a wider population of course
I just don't like people to blindly hate on a game without doing their research.
