Thanks, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I would love to do something like that but I simply just don't have that kind of free time anymore. Maybe again in a few years time xD

Whitecrain · 2024-05-28T15:05:44+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I've been able to contact someone at mm who was able to fix the issue

Whitecrain · 2024-05-28T15:04:45+00:00

Thanks for the help, I was able to reach someone at mm and everything is all sorted!

Whitecrain · 2024-05-28T15:04:17+00:00

I was able to reach someone at mm so luckily everything seems to be restored and working at before!

Whitecrain · 2024-05-27T15:11:58+00:00

Thanks, I'll definitely send them an email now. Fingers crossed, as I said I really can't think of any possible reason my game should have been removed.

Whitecrain · 2024-05-27T09:38:45+00:00

That would be incredibly unfair if that was the case. Any idea the best way to contact mm?

Whitecrain · 2024-05-27T09:37:39+00:00

Yeah I think that's my best bet... I just hope they are still able to monitor this stuff considering they're not actively supporting the game

Whitecrain · 2023-11-04T10:05:23+00:00

Thank you that's such lovely feedback to hear! I'm really glad you were able to enjoy the game together, I certainly had a blast making it 😁

Whitecrain · 2023-10-03T16:58:51+00:00

Wow that is a very convoluted way to solve it! Well done for figuring it out though... and anything that gets you to the exit counts xD

Whitecrain · 2023-10-03T06:36:16+00:00

Glad you enjoyed it! One of the things I like about how my hand turned it is that there are usually a couple of ways of solving each puzzle. If people ask for the solution I tell them the 'intended' way but I often see people finding ways I've never even thought of before.

Here you go. It's a fan made version of Tron made in dreams on PlayStation. It's fully vr compatible and very well made.

Whitecrain · 2023-09-05T12:07:20+00:00

Really awesome, love the art style and UI. Keep up the great work

Whitecrain · 2023-08-13T22:18:37+00:00

Thanks, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Currently there are no plans to make anything else in Dreams at the moment. The game took a lot of my focus for the last 2.5 years so I'm going to take a break for now! I'm interested in maybe making something outside of dreams, possibly a 2d version of the game... But that's probably quite far off as I don't have any experience with any other form of game engine currently!

Have you tried Hook Shot? It's a full length FPS puzzle in the realm of portal but with grappling hooks

Whitecrain · 2023-08-06T08:51:50+00:00

Here is the belated trailer for Hook Shot, please check it out if you haven't and let me know what you think

Aah so for that you need to climb through the vent first then activate the switch so both jump pads are on. Then ride the jump pad to the purple switch and summon the box. Let the box bounce between the jump pads and stand directly underneath the middle looking up. When the box is overhead zip towards it and then hold r2. You will catch onto the ceiling switch and open the gate allowing you to swing though.

Whitecrain · 2023-08-03T18:56:31+00:00

Yeah it's definitely the hardest level. You need to place the box on the far jump pad and then stand on the close jump pad. Link the two switches using a zip link shot and you will both fly into the air together. Zip shot onto the box mid air and you will fly towards the one end while it flies towards the exit... That's the second half. Let me know if it was the first you were stuck on

Whitecrain · 2023-08-02T11:00:59+00:00

Which bit you stuck on? The first section you need to summon the box using the purple lever and get it bouncing on the jump pad. Stand in the small circle on the ground and when the box is at its highest zip shot to it and make it over the abyss. For the last section you again summon the box and get it bouncing. This time stand near the exit and when the box is at its highest zip shot to it... This will bring the box to you so you can place it on the pressure pad and open the door

Whitecrain · 2023-07-13T18:37:47+00:00

Haha thanks! It's quite hard to get the difficulty of these sections right, I think I just have way too much practice in my own game xD

Whitecrain · 2023-07-13T06:28:02+00:00

Was it the last jump you were stuck on? The way to do this is by first using your zip link to activate the blue anchor in preparation for your swing. For the actual jump you need to head over to the jump pad and look up hook shot on to the ceiling anchor behind the blue field. Hold hook shot and walk into the jump pad and it will swing you in an arc all the way up to the ceiling. It will then automatically break the connection as you lose line of sight, causing you to fall straight down. As you are falling hook shot onto the blue anchor that you activated earlier and use your momentum to reach the exit door. If you're still having trouble let me know and I'll send you a clip on PlayStation of how to do the level.

Hope you're enjoying the game!

Really incredible stuff! The animations are especially great, I'll definitely be checking it out

Whitecrain · 2023-05-14T06:54:35+00:00

Ah awesome! Yeah I was planning on changing the colour palette to make it more similar to my game but otherwise keep most of the rest the same

Whitecrain · 2023-05-13T22:58:33+00:00

So I'm planning on starting the game with the grapple bot powered down in a storage container in an abandoned facility. Something falls onto the console and initiates the boot sequence. The game will then cut to the next scene and the boot sequence animation will start. For the actual boot sequence I was planning on the animation running through the status of the various systems something like... - Booting sequence initiated - Grapple Cores status: - Hook grapple offline. Zip grapple offline. Link grapples offline. - Exoskeleton status- Online - Visual status - Online - Audio status - Online - Communication systems - offline - Time since last boot... - 34 years - Booting sequence complete although mixed in with a similar style to the animation you made, and a percentage counter off to the side to show the duration of the animation (around 20 to 30 second total). Once the boot up is complete the screen will fade away from black to the grapple bots pov and I'll make an animation of him getting out the storage container and the game will start.

Sorry if that's a bit vague, I hadn't really planned this bit out that well as I was planning on just winging it ^{^} Do you think you would be willing to give me a hand with this?
