The best way to monetize Dreams, I believe, is to build up an IP or to create animated series that can be uploaded to TH-cam or getting sponsorship. I think in game monetization would be the death of Dreams.
Building an IP that you can make value away from Dreams - that has interest to other businesses or productions could be a game changer for a creator thanks for highlighting this!
Definitely I feel the same. They’re starting with Kickstarter but I don’t think it’s too far away from the point you could possibly start shopping it around
Maybe yeah. It could be something they don’t plan to upgrade for a few years if ever. But if I’m right and Dreams gets PSVR2 support (which I’m sure Playstation will want to use it to push) it will need to have a dedicated PS5 version at the very least
I am completely sure that in a more mediamolecule time it will work to motivate so many creators with some reward in the future, they are geniuses, they know the time that a good creation requires, as they are professional developers. I think that in a while the discussion of whether to monetize the creations or not will open up as Dreams matures with its users. I love Dreams, I am sure that we will achieve great things in a short time.
The complex part will always be the split for assets used from multiple users in a collaborative project. Beyond that, I don't see why it couldn't be an even share for the creators, MM and Sony. Provided a game / video / project doesn't infringe on IP and is polished to a specific level, it feels like Sony and MM have a lot of untapped opportunities here. Especially when you consider how accessible dreams is as a creation engine.
Pro monetization. It's a powerhouse. I bought music software years ago that was 10x expensive and only did music. And dreams music creation is amazing.... Just that alone. I can't wait to be exporting to 3d printers from dreams.
Thanks for sharing that. Gamers almost often consider the value of Dreams based on what it offers in terms of gameplay e.g Arts Dream and community levels but as a tool it has amazing value - especially if you’re considering using it for professional purposes.
Lbp was 1st advertised as selling ur levels for say a quid. They said 1million downloads that's 1million pound. I think that's where the monetized thinking originally begun. They shouldn't have said it tbf.
I don’t remember that ever being advertised but I had a look and sure enough the CEO of Playstation did tease it for LBP. That would have been well ahead of the game - mad they’ve been thinking about it all this time and still can’t work out the legalities
I just got a idea when watching this. Have you ever heard of a software called meshroom. It software design for 3d scanning which work by taking a collection of images and turn them into a 3d mesh to be use in real game engine and 3d software. As you said there a way to get image but not the sculpter. There also 3d printing. If this theory works .
Not sure if it’s the same software but Martin mentioned in the video suggests this exact process - I think he even does it for a small fee on Fiver. Thanks cor highlighting this Lawrence it’s another way to export from Dreams!
So I can use Dreams as an artist. I was wanting to create character art and concept art with it for 3D stuff that I could take outside of the game, but wasn't sure I'd be able to. Good to know I can.
When you look at a game like Rec Room. A social game similar to dreams where players can create stuff in game. They added monetization and the quality of creations plummeted significantly. Because unlike how you mentioned the creation remixes and multiple different people working on the same thing you can take someone's assets and monetize your game and the original creator gets nothing. Now most games you will come across are low effort "Cash Grabs" where things are poorly made and theres a bunch of buyable things. So if Media Molecule allows monetization they'd better do it in a fair way and so there is a motive to keep creating good quality creations rather than something low effort.

Dreams definitely should allow people to monetize their gameplay creations. As far as the question about who owns what that can be solved by making it only possible to monetize works that are created entirely by the creator with no assist used by other people. I would like to use dreams to make full fledge games but right now that doesn't make any sense with no way to directly monetize the game.
That's a quick solution but you do cut the legs off of one of the best parts of the engine. Its thanks to community assets you can have such quick workflows and playtesting and there are a very games currently in Dreams that haven't benefited from it
@@UglySofaGaming I don't have Dreams yet or a PS5 for that matter I am just waiting for them to release PSVR 2 before I buy anything. I didn't know assets sharing as well as animation and stuff was even sharable in Dreams. That's cool and all but I just want monetizing from game creation. Otherwise I don't know what the value of the software is as a game creation tool if you can't sell the games you make. You pointed out some examples of things outside of gaming that can generate revenue that's certainly something to look into but by this point i thought their would have been a way to sell games by now.
Game I would make in dreams Robotron resistance. A first person shooter version of the classic Robotron game by Atari. The main character can sometimes obtain different variations of laser weapons while fighting robotrons
I’m not looking to make money or to get into that complicated system. I just want to get my original project out of my head and into the dreamiverse. I tried in LBP but it didn’t get too far.
If you have some experience with more traditional game development you could find something like Unity easier, or more efficient/practical at least. But in terms of a hobbyist/casual game making tool it doesn’t get easier than Dreams without limiting your options. Learning curve on Dreams is super steep still but you don’t have to learn everything and can plug your holes with community creations and smart choices e.g It’s hard to accurately animate a character so we made our game first person.
Excellent video, guys, subscribed! I don't think ingame monetization can be a way to make the game more interesting, but officially allowing creators (all creators) to monetize their works made in Dreams can be an opportunity. 3d export and game export can also be an amazing way to let creators monetize their work...like manking a game in Dreams, exporting it and selling it on Steam for example. Or even just making videos, concept art, like Master Martin Nebelong teaches :) But anyway, also allowing players to get commissioned for assets is not a bad idea. To me Dreams is firstly a powerful engine, not really a "game". I hope MM doesn't let Dreams die by taking too much time in taking a decision and making improvements.

#NewViewer BTW💙💚♥️🖤Thanks a million for posting this!…😎 I did imagine using Dreams to story board my ideas before making something official. Like maybe a demo for a video game and gauge a potential fan base. For my own iPs$
@@UglySofaGaming I appreciate that.💙💚♥️🖤😎 Can’t wait to see what you’ll think of my stuff in the near future. Is it possible to create a brain 🧠 in Dreams; but, like all the inner workings of the mind??? Like make all the neural pathways look like tunnel shafts or driveway tunnels & to reference the Tron franchise and the metaphor about the brain 🧠 being like a computer, the roads of the tunnel shafts could be like the surface area of mother boards connected together??? How does that sound???
@@UglySofaGaming I kind of want the brain 🧠 to be the setting of a story idea 💡 1 where a person is asleep 😴 and the antagonist uses magic 🪄 or something to infiltrate their mind while in the sleeping 🛌 state of consciousness. So you play as the mental body and team up with your soul to help save your biological brain 🧠 or something from being shut down completely. Aka avoid dying in your sleep. Was even thinking of a Rubix Cube inspired puzzle 🧩 boss to. Maybe even a Rubix Pshere boss also.
@@UglySofaGaming Though I still have to figure out more of the details. It’d probably a be a boss fight demo. Have yet to figure out what I’d call the game. It could be part of a larger series to. So who knows.
15:40 I’m A ok with people having Patreon and or Subscribe Star for fans who may like to see a creator pay a studio to make an official version of what a creator has made so far. For example I’d like to use Dreams to make a demo version of something I could make in the future.💙💚♥️🖤 Then get fan funding for the expensive VAs for instance when making the full official version of whatever I might imagine.
@@UglySofaGaming What if, you used what you made in Dreams into a TH-cam video or into videos??? There’s this guy for example called “CALLMEARj” in TH-cam who does VR Drawing vids and now does mostly fan made Dragon Ball Super What if manga drawings and posts videos of them as he narrates the characters and puts in the sound effects of the actions you see from the anime cartoon adaptation of the official manga by Akira Toryiama. Figured I could do something similar; but, for video games and make fan made what if stories and make a game out of it and or animate it to as a cartoon or something.
I think there's been a been a window for someone to use Dreams as an animation tool on TH-cam no one has really snatched open. Noguchi's Bell is a series that is really smooth and professional looking but takes a long time to make with a full team of people. Ninja Cat is another and they manage to release quicker. I think something more stylised which is quicker to make could be a good money maker
I’ve only cleared the first 17 floors but I’ve only seen one or two so far. A lot of community stuff does happen outside of Dreams on twitch because of the lack of multiplayer, music jams and community events etc kinda the nature of the best atm I think Euer
@@UglySofaGaming Yes you are right. I don't mean the ones that show something, a project an Idea, music or just nice art and also promote a twitch account. But those who are exclusively a twitch advertising without really showing something creative, if at all. There are not many but they seem like an eyesore ^^ Especially because in contrast you have some booths that are really nice where you have trouble finding out who exactly made it. But all in all DreamsCom is just awesome.

they need to release it on PC. Making homebrew games / assets for animations in Blender is a moist "dream" for me :D
