It brings me no pleasure to report that huge tiddy furry stylish action game is easily the best thing in Dreams.

Soulless detected.
Well it's obviously not but you do you.

There's 20+ different attack animations in this game. 3D game development is impossible and one person managing good hit detection for 20+ attack animations in Dreams is never going to happen.
But why does it have to be that the furries have huge breasts and boob physics...
Hmmmmm
I agree. Dreams is great and there's a lot of cool stuff to play already. Saying this is the best Dreams has to offer is just bullocks
Well, I'm mostly looking at "these are my basic mechanics in early prototyping stages" for both videos. If this is supposed to be a complete experience, then yeah, it's not great.
Most of the stuff I see on there would get me a job offer from Dignitas
Fortunately it's not even close. Please don't let this bizarre thread colour your impressions of Dreams.
Straight up I just don't think showing this stuff off and praising it so highly is helping Dreams at all. I honestly thought the OP might have been a joke given the way it was worded and the footage that accompanied it.
This looks awful. It's becoming increasingly apparent that Dreams in not the best platform for making big tiddy furries.

I argue this because.
1. This isn't just a mechanics prototype
2. They actually tried to be original instead of cloning a popular game 1:1
3. This isn't a 3D platformer which is easily what Dreams is best suited towards
4. This game has much better understanding of pacing and is much deeper than the Sekiro clone and other action games in Dreams.

The idea here was actually praise a creation that tried to be original and tried to have some depth and tried not to be a 3D platformer and tried to have actual interaction between the mechanics and the content. This is easily the most fluid of creations that hit those criteria.
Unlike those incredibly boring "I rendered Fallout 4's armor and put a menu that looks like a Pipboy, look it's like I actually made Fallout 4" creations that get so much hype online.
Hate to continue the pile on, but I have to note that this looks like shoehorned combat in a PS2 era platformer.
Like Vexx or something.

I mean it's clearly not bad for hobbyist work but it's also definitely stodgy enough that nobody will confuse it for a new Bayonetta.
Dreams is some cool shit but it's probably going to be a very long time before I get into it (I don't even have a PS4)

That's a lot more impressive than what is in the OP imo. Really nice.
This one looks better to me, just because it doesn't have that goofy ass run animation that most third person models have in Dreams.

I have played both but the issue with the Sekiro clone is:
1. It's much more limited in options than big tiddy furry action game
2. It only has 2-3 enemy types but goes on for a while
3. It has entirely flat level design and is just a sequence of encounters which works poorly with Sekiro's limited combat system where you need to figure out the approach of where you want to go to avoid getting destroyed.
The Sekiro game has like 2-4 attacks from what i remember (I played it like two months ago so I may be wrong) whereas this one has more than 10 and maybe more than 20.

You would've been better off just posting this in the Dreams OT then where people are more understanding of in-progress work, because posting it to the entire Era community is going to put it in a different light. Most people aren't playing Dreams here, so when you say "look how great this is" people are naturally going to drop bombs on it.
I know. It's still the most fluid looking game in Dreams combatwise.
It's very cool that it can be made in dreams but it's turning into more of a disclaimer on anything cool rather than being cool on its own
Your goal was noble but I think most people coming into the thread have absolutely no baseline for what exists in Dreams as-is. So we come into the thread expecting something impressive and get, uh... Whatever we got in the OP. I'm sure this is great compared to other things that exist in Dreams but as someone that knows nothing about it, this looks like ass compared to some of the indie titles that are character-action oriented.
They also have no idea how hard it is to animate and adjust physics. This looks impressive as base for something bigger.
Sure, but what's the point in having many options if it looks (and seems) like jank? Polish the basics first.
And without talking about Dreams, there's plenty of games that don't have tons of options like DMC but still have a great combat system.
OP
OP
The issue with sticking to mechanical basics is that you need to have very complicated enemy design and level design (like Sekiro or Genesis Sonic).
It's ridiculously hard to make complex levels or complex enemies in 3D space so basically every creation in Dreams fails at both.
