As a game-building tool, Dreams has another platform with the ability to create carbon-copies of existing games, including a controversial level-by-level remake of Super Mario 64 in early 2020. The post included its own tips for using its intricate library of tools to design a playing field, adding objects to 1:1 scale and interactive object which can change the environment. A camera head tracker also lets objects and in-game mechanics to work according to a PSVR user’s head movements. Ahead of the PlayStation 5 release of Dreams, 3D sound has been added in as a feature for standard and VR immersion.

Of course, the VR tool lets creators get even closer with their levels and hand-craft their own assets. They can also move up-close to examine anything they would like to include before actually placing it. This would be done by grabbing, painting and rotating Dreams assets manually – unlike using the DualShock 4 controller in standard creation. To move around levels quickly, Dreams VR will include locomotion, zipping and teleportation according to preference. The in-game menu also becomes a tablet which players can summon, hold, freeze mid-air and put away instantly.

The v2.15/2.16 update can be downloaded for Dreams starting today for all owners. Its VR features only work with the PlayStation VR headset.
