There's a new bugfix update and some free stuff for EA users on the PSN store. It's a theme, a booklet and music from the game.

I got the art book and the music but I didn’t get the theme for some reason :(
That's weird. Not added to your themes?


"Dreams actually already runs on PlayStation 5 - there you go, that's the scoop. But that's just us being devs and exploring. I'd be lying to you if I said we weren't going to explore, but there's literally zero plans at the moment."


No-brainer, really.

Decided to start doing a series of short tutorial vids on how to create and work with custom character animations.

Hope it's usefull for those interested.



I'm going to be following your tutorials. If you don't mind me pointing something out, a heck of a lot of what you were saying in this video could have been said whilst actually doing something. Even if you just showed the different menus and walked about it bit, it would have been better than just seeing a cursor nervously fidgeting around. :)

Thanks, yeah, I'm aware of that, but I didn't have a clear plan and I suck at multitasking. I'm easily distracted. Lol

Next video I'll try to be more pro-active. Helps that next time I'll be tweaking the walk animation.

So, let me get this straight, in order to go back and make other adjustments, be it large or subtle, all I have to do is click on a particular recording and add to it? I noticed you were moving through them smoothly. Which button was you using for that?

If you're talking about keyframes, than yes.
The only thing you have to keep in mind is that for every object that's affected by a keyframe, invisible wires are connected and those counts towards thermo/performance cost (not sure about the keyframes themselves).
This is something I didn't know before we got the more elaborate thermo details. Lol

And to move through those keyframes, you can use L1 + the left and right directional buttons.
This also works with other gadget placed on the same track within a timeline.

Edit:

I should definitely add that to my next vid.

Man when I see all of these beautiful creations i wonder if mine is shit lol , I did create a small show with a little details about one show and one famous game .. I hope the community like it and specially you guys
 
Got a question. Does it work without internet access and has all base content on disc? I really like futureproofing when it comes to purchasing games. That's why I have almost every version of a Soulsborne games in physical as well.

It takes time. Don't look at the best to inspire you, inspire to be the best you can be and let that inspire you.

I've never come across that because I was focusing entirely on sculpting. That looks like something to do with the text tool to me, but I could be wrong. Did you use the text tool? If there was a time it wasn't there, perhaps you can just load in a previous version.

It's fun. I liked when the Death Stranding music kicked in as I happened to walk between the shadows. Lol

That's the best way to learn how to create Dreams.
Just pick something that interests you and mess around. You'll gradually learn news ways to tackle stuff and how to be more efficient.

I'm glad you liked it ..
 
This game looks fun to create for some folks but is too complicated for the average Joe. The games don't look fun to play. 100% of what I saw looked gimmicky or have a novelty aspect to it. Like cool someone made this with this vibe but I wouldn't choose this game over the hundreds I can play right now that have so much more polish and playability. MM spent 7 years but only could make a 2 hour campaign. Why. They are the best and creators of the game itself and only made a 2 hour campaign? What hope does the average joe got. I saw a video where someone spent supposedly 200 hours on a game but it looks so basic and ummm how to put it mildly. Not fun.

No one becomes an great artist overnight. The fact that they were able to create something within a short period of time is impressive based on the tools MM has given.

The great thing about Dreams is that as you get better, you're able to go back and improve on your work.THe campaign is only a small portion of what they created.
