Holy shit this is making the wait even more painful..
What the....
RIP anyone with a low bandwidth connection
I really don't understand how people are making complete games so quickly. I spent 5 hours yesterday working on two parts of a character's leg.

Same. some of those are on their 2nd or third, all of high quality. I spent two hours trying to get a paint stroke to stay stuck on a thing :p
Prob use other people's characters and or logics which they tweak it sure helps make things quicker
Maybe, but some of the things we've seen are all sculpted by one person. I think the DS4 could be holding me back a bit on that.
Because they don't want negative opinions about Dreams getting out there based on experiences with beta software. Sony/Mm want to control how the game is shown and revealed. In this particular case, they don't want legal attention for IP violations.
You can share assets with a group only if you make them collaborators in a project. But you can't share a creation with only a limited list. It's either all or nothing.
Can't make a thread and potentially get ppl in trouble I suppose. The nda all around is just terrible marketing for a game with none
Stuff that was shown on the streams should be fair game though.
In a way I see Dreams as a way to grow new blood for gamedev. So much potential for kids or even adults to find some hidden talent. Sony should not fuck this up and market it like crazy.
Here's a tip I've only just become aware of. I'm sure some here may already know this but some won't:
If you decide to make a game or scene, make each prop separately and save them out as assets. Then start a fresh sculpt and use all the assets you've created for that game/scene. The reason for this is, if you then update one of the separate sculpts, it automatically updates it in the completed scene. It's sort of like live cloning but for the whole project.

Dude joined twitter in December and first post is to leak dreams. RIP
I don't mean the guy who made PT
Yeah he created that account for this probably. Kinda weird he doesnt leak other stuff lol
If mm really want to track him down they'll place a trap
The vid is on youtube aswell (user Sergeant Bike) and was notified to MM like 20h ago. (Link in tweet was deleted though)
Might as well wait until the final beta stream before we make a new thread to show off the creations.
I dont know Maniac Mansion but Point & Click games are probably the easiest to make
And has sent me more self promotion spam than anyone else in the Dreamiverse, if it's the same person.
Hey, I've spent an entire day trying to make a chain link fence.
edit: and I've just realised I wasted a ton of time because I wasn't cloning it the right way.

Put a decent amount of time in now, and it's absolutely delivered for me. I've always believed in Dreams conceptually but Media Molecule have really delivered here and the quality of some of the games out there already is incredible and you get the feeling that the bar is going to be continually raised as people start to figure out the best ways to use these tools.
I wasn't entirely sure how I'd personally find Dreams, as a game dev and programmer, I've never particularly wanted to work on games in my own time, but the collaborative nature here really makes up for my weaknesses. I'm never going to be much good as a sculpter, animator or composer - so being able to just search and find assets is a god send. Equally I can also publish the elements I'm particularly suited to making on the logic/mathematical side of things. These two things have made me a creator in Dreams in a way that I never was in LittleBigPlanet. I published my first game today for the jam, just a minigame really, but still really satisfied by it.
There's definitely areas I would like to see them work on for sure (and I'll leave that for the private forums), but I have no fears for this game any more. It's going to be a success, possibly a massive one.

Guys if anybody has a spare beta code i would really appreciate receiving it. I did submit a request for it on their website but i haven't received anything yet and I've been waiting to play this like forever!
Its surprising that we're seeing such polished stuff already. Presumably some of the better stuff is from people who are professional game devs, it wouldn't surprise me, but it might not be. To think that a month ago they had never laid hands on this and the stuff being made already... it's crazy.
I've played a few genuinely playable fairly polished games, as brief as they may have been. One called Porto that was shown off in the last stream was especially great. Simple little puzzle game with a great style and music. Proper indie game content that, once fleshed out with levels, could definitely demand money, and it's all here, open content that can be played instantly with basically no loading time beyond a couple of seconds. Dreams absolutely will be huge. The range of visual styles and gameplay styles, and everything else that can be done with the software from music to movies, abstract art pieces etc... it is incredible. Imagine a year from now, or two..
I'm super curious to see what Sony and MM do with this. While the game will probably market itself through word of mouth online with streamers, it's gonna be interesting to see how they officially market it.

I wonder if it would be good idea to make an OT for people who want to team up together for projects in Dreams. We could even schedule internal Game Jams. It would be interesting to see what people can do here. ;)
If LittleBigPlanet is anything to go by, you would be surprised sometimes. Some of them even got jobs at Media Molecule as level designers.

Yeah, I should have specified "when the game releases".
it'll go up once they say we can talk about it. which im sure it'll be before game release.
I am not sure what you mean, because I was asking (in my original post) if it would be a good idea to make an OT thread for people who wanted to team up together for projects in Dreams, to which someone replied with : "Not right now but certainly when the tool-set releases. "
Man this game has so much damn potential. I lack the time/inclination to build many myself but there's gonna be like thousands of hours of insanely good content out there.
Went on this morning and there's some real impressive stuff.
"The Encounter" (not the super strange "encounter") is a real detailed space first-person game. Better example than PT, hope they show it on stream next week.
"Panis Pot" is a great animation, dude must work in media.
Also there's already a mine sweeper, connect 4, and a fully working fruit machine "fruity" with hold and nudge features.

Man, my first night with Dreams was rough. I couldnt wrap my head around even the basic movement controls. I was so frustrated and and disappointed because I thought I hated this thing that I had waited so long for.
A few nights later and I'm absolutely in love with it. No hyperbole, I would pay hundreds of dollars just for what's here in the beta.

Same, I was so hyped after all these years of waiting only to find that at first I wasn't even properly able to rotate around an object. There definietly is a learning curve, but it is a very satisfaying one to master.
Unrelated, I'm somehwat annoyed at the thread about the "PT leak", like, really, five years of them showing what this game will be capable off and THAT is what gets everyone on board?
I don't know if it's the same person as on Twitter, but I've had a fair amount of shared spam from 'lewisc729', who made the P.T. Dream. Although indreams.me only says if you've been shared something and not the exact item which has been shared.
I think I spent almost 10 hours to create one psychedelic/tribal music (not sure if I can call it music lol), and it's far, far away from being anything near complete. I think I have to wait for release of the game to finish it.
Please don't make it too long Mm. April/May is just perfect.

Is it possible and have there been any examples of realistic human characters?
At least on the level of life is strange?

Pirate Ann and the little witch character come pretty close.
That Mirror's Edge level is giving me some mad flashbacks to the LBP1 beta, a decade and some change ago.

Change the clothing a little and you can bring her to the modern age.
