Dreams early access will be getting a pretty useful update this week, making it easier to find user-created content. Media Molecule calls it DreamSurfing, wherein you can browse featured content, recommended games, trending experiences, and even Community Jam entries. Since the heart of Dreams relies on the community’s content, DreamSurfing will more effectively curate the game’s best experiences. Keep in mind, the update is set to roll out throughout the week, so keep checking into the Dreamiverse if you don’t see the update right away.
In addition, Media Molecule will be including a number of bug fixes and more in this update, which will hopefully improve the user-experience.
The latest Dreams patch notes can be found below:
Dreams Update Patch Notes
What’s new?
- Photo Management – We’ve added some handy new tools to help you manage the flow of photos you’ve been firing up to the Dreamiverse. Now when you exit Photo Mode, you’ll be asked which photos you’d like to keep, and where you’d like to save them. This will help you keep your local storage in check, and avoid the automatic upload of hundreds of photos while you try to snap the perfect cover image! You can also now Archive photos you’ve previously released, just in case you want to tidy up your collection.
- Creation Archiving – Archiving doesn’t stop with photos – it works with creations too! Now you can tidy up anything you’ve got stored online but would rather wasn’t hanging around cluttering up the place. To restore something you’ve previously archived, head to Archive Mode and check out the Restore tab. Your mothballed creations are safe and sound, waiting for you to dust them off.
- DreamSurfing Playlists – The Dreamiverse is now teeming with incredible creations. So teeming that we just had to find a better way to expose them all to you. Begone, single-row of creations! Come on in, multiple rows! We’re rolling this feature out slowly so that we can test the servers as we do it, so if you don’t have it today, check back tomorrow.
