Dreams from Media Molecule is an incredibly powerful game design tool that's easy to use, and it's already raising a new generation of game designers.
Media Molecule director said the studio's next title is more a game & less a creation tool. He also regrets not having a PC version of Dreams.
If there was one PC version that should have existed it’s Dreams
I’m super glad they will be going back to something more traditional gaming wise.
My dream was DreamsVR and creating landscapes, characters, and sculptures using that amazing toolbox in vr, that would have been something imo.
Dreams PC was the dream. Woulda given the game a much needed boost. Here’s hoping they follow it up well.
I use to say this when the game was first releasing, many kept saying it would not be possible, something about the toolsets.
I said this was one game that needed to be on as many platforms as possible, including PC and Xbox just like how Minecraft is everywhere.
Creation tools just don't work on console very well. It's definitely more suited for PC, and it's very odd Sony decided not to port it over. Good MM is working on an actual game instead.
IGN writes: "Media Molecule has said the layoffs at the Sony-owned studio have affected plans for ongoing community and curation support in Dreams."
How self sustained can DREAM be when it's basically stuck on PS4? I don't think it's even gotten a PS5 upgrade. Ending support for what is essentially a game making engine is basically death. SONY did DREAMS dirty.
Media Molecule Creative Director John Beech talks about making a very personal project in Dreams, available with PlayStation Plus.
An atmosphere of collaboration is in the DNA of Dreams
"the game contains content from no fewer than 232 different contributors, including sculptures, sounds, paintings, and textures"
Being a featured game got him more than just honor
“I was approached by a European game development company who asked me to join their team,” he said. “I’m excited for the future and where this may take me!”
Maybe future PS First party game designers....prices like stage in First party studio would be great.
Coincidentally Dreams is also used to get people their dream jobs.
I hope Sony will start publishing quality original dreams games as full games on PlayStation store in the future.
Yes it is and its why I love it
