This is absolutely fantastic, just a really great background stream to have to keep me company during this time. Would definitely be up for getting some of the other staff to hop in on this feature, but I could also just watch Alex drivin' around listening to some good Euro Jams for many hours.
Thanks for the alternative content schedule GB, it's much appreciated to have you finding ways to bring us the hottest Video Game Action despite the unfortunate circumstances.
Very excited for this one. I know Alex has mostly been more of a gunner than a power-user, but I hope he gets a bit into those biotic combos because they're just so satisfying. You can't beat a bit of warp/throw.
Regardless, I can't wait to see how this all plays out for y'all... And I'm glad that Tali will be there for the ride.
Dreams is so cool. There is definitely something to "you could learn to use existing programming, modelling, or composing tools and that'd be a more beneficial skillset" - but this is so approachable for what it's offering, it gives you all of those tools in one relatively inexpensive package, and it offers easy avenues for creators to collaborate on projects in fun and interesting ways.
I would absolutely encourage people who are enjoying their time making stuff in Dreams to at least look into their options to do it on a grander scale elsewhere down the line, but I also think the potential this offers to get more people with a more "casual" interest into the process of game creation is vast.
Thanks to Vinny for all your hard work putting this together - I know what an intimidating QL this must have been to prepare for and plan out! I'd love to see more Dreams content in the future, whether that be you tinkering around in the tutorials (like that lengthy video from last year), a creation or exploration playdate, or an actual series trying to make something simple as a group.
Big fan of this (though I'd also echo the requests for a few moments with volume from the movie to aid with keeping things in sync). This takes me back to my childhood, it's wild thinking how far Pokémon has come and I'm glad I'm still able to enjoy it now.
