The Making of a Dreams Game

A blog dedicated to the development of a game built in Media Molecule's new game Dreams. This blog will cover all aspects of development and hopefully will be an exciting journey to make a finished game.

I need to start somewhere

To recap, I am going to attempt to make a game from scratch in the upcoming game from Media Molecule, Dreams.

The first thing to do is to come up with an idea, lots of them in fact!

Here are some first idea scribbles:

First few ideas, are not the best! Thinking about some kind of emotion power, So the player can change the emotions of NPC's. Probably too powerful?

Also started thinking about world building and some very early thoughts on a character. Oh and a cat creature thing that lives in the players bag.... it was a late night and I was tired!

A quick Google search gave me the perfect title for my first post. I wanted a place to document the journey of the development of a game built in a game. I also wanted to share this journey so people can give feedback and help inspire me to create something exciting.

First off, I am not remotely a game designer, I enjoy narrative and visual communication and my background is in illustration. I do not have all of the specialist skills needed to create a game, however, after seeing Media Molecule's game Dreams I was inspired to give it a go.

So, the first thing to do is to come up with some ideas, probably loads of bad ones but that's fine that is what the creative process is all about. Remember to always let me know what you think and give me your feedback.

That's about it for the first post, what does everyone think of Dreams and what are people going to make? Let me know in the comments.

I guess I better get to it.
