So far I'm a big fan of Dreamworld! The playtest offers so much for players to do already. I hope it goes far. I only just started playing a couple months ago, and I'm satisfied overall with the open world and crafting mechanics. My only complaint - and it's hardly a complaint since I recognize DreamWorld is still in its early phases - is that some of the finer mechanics, like combat, are a bit sloppy. There are also some bugs with cooking on campfires I ran into, and occasionally the gameplay will drag if I enter an area where there's a lot of player creations that have to be loaded in. Still, for what is offered for a free game, it exceeds expectations. The AI generation of custom assets will also need a lot of fine-tuning, but so far it is mostly accurate for what I ask it to generate. It cannot yet handle complicated requests - for example, I tried to generate "an angel with black hair, rainbow wings, yellow eyes, and flowing robes" and it generated an angel with black hair, black wings, in a black two-piece bathing suit, and the eyes are just solid black. So it got ROUGHLY what I wanted, sans finer details, and that's not bad at all. So overall, it's absolutely worth checking out DreamWorld! It still offers quite a lot in the way of entertainment for a free game that's still in development. I look forward to what will be offered in the future! Hoping for some more building designs and character customization tools. 🤞🏻🤞🏻
I've had more than one person come out and say the game is a scam, a moneygrab, etc. I don't mind - they have an opinion and they are welcome to it. I like the game. And to be clear - the only thing I received from the devs is some attention. I recently had a chat with Kyle - the marketing guy - and told him exactly what you said about the sloppy parts. If you compare how player movement and NPC movement looks like - it's very un-poloshed to say the least. Still - the building mechanics are better than most games. Not without issue, but better.
I have an open channel with some of the team and they're saying that for the foreseeable future, it will be PC only. I'm guessing the reliance on UE5 is making it hard, but that answer does not preclude the possibility of other platforms in the future.
I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Before you continue reading, let me be totally clear - I am NOT defending them - I am defending myself here! Saying "take advantage of you", suggests I'm getting something from them and (at least feel) I need to return something.None of that is true. When I started playing, I refused to interview Zack for a long time because I wanted to get my own impression of the game without influence. When Kyle offered to promote my videos with their marketing budget, I outright refused - I will not have my integrity influenced by anything external. I am doing this because I like the game - not the people or any promises. Doing it despite people constantly saying it's not worth it. If this game fails - either by design of the makers or otherwise - I will have lost less time than what I spent on Starfield! If it succeeds, I will have gained nothing other than being there before other creators. If you have something substantial to inform me of, then I really DO want to know! Please DM me on Discord or on X (see channel page for linktree with everything). And again - I am really glad you decided to comment. Not being cynical here.
I've heard this said so many times... Well, let me pose a challenge to you: Answer the following 2 questions - 1. If you were planning on scamming someone by suggesting to develop a game, would you keep working on it for more than 3 years after you got the kickstarter money? 2. Did you try to play recently? If you are a fairly reasonable person, and I'm assuming that you are, then you probably answered No to both. DM me on Discord or X if you want to see for yourself how much work they put in the game in the last 3+ years. Right now, you sound like you're repeating things you've heard from other creators, and it's a pity. You should check for yourself. And BTW, they offered to use their money to promote my content, and I refused to receive anything from them at all. My integrity is more important. So when I ask you to consider checking for yourself, I'm doing this for you and for me, noone else.
Just saying, The Day Before existed, and if you think this game isn’t a scam just because it was developed for a couple of years, you’re extremely mistaken. Not only does this game look like a scam in and of itself, but the developers don’t have a good track record and it’s not like this awful game would turn around their reputation. Another example, Earth 2 also exists, Skull and Bones also exists, there are dozens of horrible games that were developed for years and are just cash grabs. Idk where you’ve been on the internet but you shouldn’t be recommending games if this is your logic. I was just given a key to test the game by the devs and it’s awful
A scam requires that someone will be actively trying to obtain something by means of fraud, or intentionally trying to gain something under false claims. Is this happening here? I don't know for sure, but to me it doesn't feel like that. You think the game is crap? That is a totally valid opinion, and I respect you for coming out and saying what you think about it. The devs do not have a good track record? Sure. This will never be a great game? Maybe. There are dozens of other games that have existed for a long time and are still crap? So what? That doesn't make them scams. If their developers keep taking investment money or charging money promising stuff they never intend to fulfil - that would be a scam. Do you have proof that the DW team is deliberately trying to obtain investor money never intending to make a good game? If not - I ask only one thing - please feel free to voice your opinion of the game itself, don't try to teach me what I should think, please. BTW, your channel looks interesting. Subbed to you and want to see some content...
@@goodguysfree if it’s a free to play game, sure, I’ll call this trash instead, but if it’s paid, it’s a scam, if it has microtransactions, it’s a scam, regardless of how you want to look at it. As of right now since I don’t see a price tag, all I know is that the developers are NOT credible no matter how you try to twist it. Your opinion is your opinion, and our opinion is ours, most of everyone agrees, it’s not a bandwagon, it’s just facts, based on the track record, you can’t give hope to these guys, but by all means, you like games like this, then play it but don’t get mad at other people for disliking it. I’m not teaching you what to dislike, that wasn’t the point, it’s the way you defended these devs who have a bad reputation. And thank you! I like your content too, I just recently got back into no man’s sky so I thought the other vids were def interesting! No hate, all love, but just wanted to point out some of the flaws of these devs, I don’t have them on hand but they’re talked about almost everywhere
Love the DreamWorld content! Excited to see you checkout the new caves & tunnels!
Amazing guide! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do!
“Free land? In this economy?” Nice.

Does look really good 🙂
Wonder if they'll cross platforms at some point

TL:DW: Do Not play. Do not waste your time, it and you have value. Neither this game, Zack, or Bruno deserve to take advantage of you.

Haha this game is one big scam.

Just wasted time testing and and it is definitely still a scam. Zack and Bruno should be in jail.
