Forums - Sony Discussion - PS4: Dreams Galore [UPDATE: First Game Made With Dreams]

So far it looks like a brilliant game world creation tool but I just really hope they offer as robust a set of game play tools.

As cool as they look I don't want to just make levels and I don't want to control the imp every time I want to interact with the world. I want to interact with the world with the characters I create! To do that we need the characters and NPC's/enemies we populate these worlds with to have access to a wide variety of skills/abilities and logic/ai tools we can choose from; so we can give them the ability to push/pull/jump/double jump/climb/run/shoot/swim/strafe, etc (insert list of game abilities from all games ever!).

Just my take.

 I'm not sure... is this a joke post ?



Not a joke post. I'm not a fan of creating in games. I find other outlets for that.

Yeah...that's not really how that works...

Actually, it's super insulting to the teams of people that spent years working to make these games.

I don't see how. I mean, yeah, kudos for building a stupid-proof game maker. But It's not my bag of chips.

Pardon my lack of knowledge, but how many "build your own game" games are there? I can only think of the RPG Makers, Project Spark and now Dreams.

Not many, but they seem to get a lot of attention. 





Watch me stream games and hunt trophies on my Twitch channel!

are there different art/ graphical styles?

 There are things like this :

 

 


Looks fantastic but I feel its the same style just different lighting or something, if you know what I mean?

Not a problem, just wondering.

 Yeah, I see what's your point with the LBP in mind, that's why I didn't answer you by a clear yes / no.

Hard to tell until MM shows us a clearly different graphical style.

 I can understand that you don't like games like this, but your "stop asking me to do your job" bugs me. I take it like an insult, because as a dev myself I think that this kind of game needs more works than a traditional game. It's not that easy to make a user friendly editor like Dreams that let you so much freedom with this visual quality. I spent a lot of my free time on Blender or 3D Max to just create simple objects and scenes, and when I watch the latest video of GG, it seems so simple in Dreams to create and animate things from nothing !

Futhermore, MM had always provided a playable part in their games. I had a lot of fun playing LBP without creating any level, just playing the main story and (ingenious) levels of others.

you know you could just be part of the 90-95% of users that simply play others' creations



Bare with it. They show the wrong screen for a little while. They talk about the new sprite tool:

You are not forced to build your own game. You can play the dreams made by the community similar to Little big planet and Super Mario Maker.



An interview with MM. Some interesting stuff:
