Dreams players shall rejoice at the latest update brought by Media Molecule. Both players and creators will find this new update that’ll bring several improvements to the creation tools and also bring a new playable experience for the player side. Both updates are going to release simultaneously on Dreams for PlayStation consoles.
Starting with the player side, the latest update to Dreams brings a new game made by Media Molecule. The game’s called Ancient Dangers: A Bat’s Tale and it’s a third-person dungeon crawler designed to test the skills of only the bravest adventurers.
Whether you’re after frantic combat against strange and silly foes, puzzles to tickle your brain cells, or a showdown against a dragon with huge teeth (and an even bigger ego), the game has you covered. Ancient Dangers: A Bat’s tale is playable in single-player or local coop and will be released today.
The description on the PlayStation blog says the following:
For the Creator side, DreamShaping 2.0 has arrived to give a better experience for game makers and creators. The new version of DreamShaping includes handy game templates and brand-new elements for making a 2D platformer, a dungeon crawler, a side-scrolling shoot-’em-up, mini golf, and more.
Will Scoria and Gabbro find the herb they need to cure their grandmother’s terrible snoring? Can their wise-cracking bat pal find his way home? And is there a reasonable explanation as to how a dragon learned the noble art of floristry? All these questions and more possibly answered within.
One of the additions to DreamShaping 2.0 is a dedicated template for Ancient Dangers: A Bat’s Tale which allows creators to see how it was made in-engine. The DreamShaping update also includes a new user interface to help creators find exactly what they’re looking for faster while also providing objectives and pointers that’ll guide creators and explain the process, making development feel more like a game in itself.
The new Start Creating screen will allow creators to access the overview page for each template as well as the difficulty for varying experience levels. As the blog puts it:
Ancient Dangers: A Bat’s Tale and the DreamShaping update are available via a downloadable patch (internet required). Internet required to access full Dreams content. Dreams is currently available exclusively on PlayStation consoles.
