Imho it should be free in its current form and have a special license for export and monetisation possibilities.I don't know whether this is a fabled memory, but a few years ago I think I read an interview where director Colin Trevorrow said that the story of Dominion was always his ultimate go-to, that Jurassic World and Fallen Kingdom were the stepping stones to there (almost as if it was gathering the right build-up with characters, fan anticipation, budget, and technological advances).

It just requires the time investment of professional tools, while giving the same inconsequential results like the probably more accessible but more limited LBP. That's the core problem, the tools are good, especially with Move and probably could relaunch even better with VR2. Only some youtube videos for fame and sharing your stuff with others, is just a bit weird, weirder than all those xyz now with unreal engine. Maybe abandon the share mindset, lose a bunch of players/creators but with the oppurtunity to create actual small separate games with it would have made more of an impact than trapping everyone within the creation tool. Someone who has no talent will not prosper just because they tried to create art in a game, they need the same skills proper tools require. I assume that it might not be entirely impossible to prove with such work that you are capable with any tool and it is something to present at job interviews. If you're one of the people still playing/creating in Dreams more power to you, it just wasn't for me.Ĭlick to expand.The tools are not really limited, the results show that they are not, it's just a dead end, where the journey has to be the actual goal. That's my heavily truncated take, I could write 20 more paragraphs. Think about this, MM has been languishing in this Dream for *10 years*, it's astonishing that a studio so talented and creative has done nothing else for a decade instead mired in a project that by all accounts has been a commercial failure with only the most hardcore fans still invested into it, would love to see something new and inspired from them. That's for each artist to decide, maybe for some it is, maybe creating in Dreams *has* opened up opportunities to some outside of Dreams just as LBP did, I don't know but as Colin Moriarty said on a recent episode of Sacred Symbols 'they are better off learning Unity and releasing an actual game of their own'. So the artist has to ask themselves, 'is it worth investing all this time and energy creating art on a platform where I can't see any gain or use it to my advantage?'. Then what is the appeal of Dreams exactly? Well, from where I'm sitting it's a wonderful way for artists to create sculptures, paintings, movies, music or anything else that's *not gameplay related*. The problem? Most of what's being made are glorified tech demos and the stuff that has actual gameplay will *never* feel as good to play as the genres that inspired them.įor example, a 2D platformer will never feel as good as a Mario game, a FPS will never be as smooth and kinetic as DOOM, a fighting game will never be as tight as Street Fighter etc etc etc and so the actual *playing* of games isn't all that much fun, time is better spent elsewhere. Now, as a platform and tool to create virtually anything you want? It's mighty impressive. Played through the 'campaign', checked out what some of my old friends were up to but ultimately didn't feel inspired to create anything myself, the entire game having a nebulous feeling to it (fitting I guess, just like real dreams) and lacking the charm of MM's previous work. Needless to say, I was there day 0 for Dreams, bought it back when it was in the BETA phase.

The point is that the LBP series (and 1 in particular) was very special indeed, it ignited a creative energy in many gamers and presented myriad opportunities where none were expected. I made a handful of friends through LBP that I remain in contact with to this day. I personally know people who met through LBP and got married. To take it even further, I personally know people who got jobs in the gaming industry as a direct result of LBP.

All of this is to say I'm a big fan of Media Molecule and the work they do (Tearaway on VITA was incredible too). I was prolific member of a big LBP forum and for a good while lead a team on that forum that created various competitions and highlighted particularly impressive levels by the community. Once the game released I spent hundreds of hours creating levels and supporting other creators. I'll start by saying I'm an OG Little Big Planet vet, was part of the first LBP beta and it was a magical thing that had me instantly hooked.
