As a sound designer and musician, I was often faced with those kinds of choices. We spent a lot of time and effort on providing elements that people will find useful and tuning that library to what the strengths of the game are and what we feel users are going to do with it. We have a large library of instruments and sound effects that are available. Tom Colvin (TC): The sound engine was actually very close to complete at that time, the main differences are in the additional supporting materials. How has the music engine evolved since that workshop/demo at Sonar+D in 2018? For instance, he quickly creates a generic world with a basic character, and then connects the music to the character’s movement, so as the character speeds up the music speeds up.Ĭolvin’s demo of the game uses a version that was still in development, but it’s a great example of how easy it is to create and implement music into user-designed games/experiences.Ī Sound Effect caught up with Colvin to find out how the music engine has evolved since that workshop in 2018, what key features and capabilities it now offers, what’s included in the Dreams DAW, and how to get the most out of it.ĪRVE Error: Mode: lazyload not available (ARVE Pro not active?), switching to normal mode He takes it further by showing how the music can work in-game. Looking at the sound side - and mainly at music creation within the game - Media Molecule‘s Audio Lead Tom Colvin (along with Feedback Manager Alex Perry) held a workshop at Sónar+D 2018, which you can view further down in this interview.Ĭolvin shows off some of the music-creation tools and even creates an original piece of music with the workshop guests. That description sounds vague, I know, because in Dreams anyone can create anything inside the game. Dreams coaxes out ones inner-artist and offers an expansive set of tools that foster creativity. The object of the game is creation not just consumption. Or, a user can create assets to share with others - like specific objects or entire backgrounds, music, bass lines, sound effects, templates - you name it. Or, they can play games created by other users. Users can create their own games, which they can share with other user.

Game developer Media Molecule’s Dreams (published by Sony Interactive Entertainment for PS4) is a world building game like no other, because it’s more than just world-building it’s game building.
