The creators of Dreams are considering a PC port, among other big plans for their game creator.
If you haven't heard of Dreams by now, you really should. It won the award for most original game at this year's Gamescom and has been the subject of several interesting projects since it's release on PS4 Early access last April.
Dreams is a sandbox game along the same lines as Little Big Planet, which is appropriate since it's made by the same developer: Media Molecule. The difference here is that Dreams takes things to the next level with a highly sophisticated creation system that lets you make almost anything.
People have recreated classic titles like Metal Gear Solid, or modern remakes like Final Fantasy VII Remake. There's even a version of Rogue Squadron recreated in Dreams.
So far, Dreams is a PS4 exclusive title, but Media Molecule has big plans for their game. At the View Conference in Turin, Italy, studio co-founder Kareem Ettouneym said that the company is looking to expand beyond the PS4.
"The answer to every question is 'yes', but Dreams needs to reach a lot of people first. Our goal for Dreams is to last for 20 years, and keep expanding it and keep adding to it and keep improving it."
But first the plan is to expand their reach on the PlayStation 4. After that Media Molecule has other plans to continue adding to their baby by improving the game's export options.
"The very limited exporting features [at] the moment are like exporting a video, but we have in the long-term [plans for] exporting a standalone game outside of Dreams entirely—exporting to other devices and beyond."
So far, you have to actually own Dreams in order to play any of the games other people are making, but if you can export those games into their own stand-alone files that could run on any device it would be... well, a game-changer.
Dreams just might be the thing to turn the games industry on its head. Stay tuned for more.
