As proof that I still exist, here's another piece of original score from my 2022 game "WHITE LIGHT". Lighting & color transitions in this video are cued to what's happening in the scene, I just set the camera away from the action, because it's basically the end of the game, and I'd rather not spoil it.

I recorded some instrumentation live and programmed the rest with Dreams' excellent sound design suite.

I am deeply disappointed that #DreamsPS4 has better instrument libraries for FREE in a literal kids game. And yet if I want to actually make music, I have to buy sample packs that cost like $150 USD that don't even have this much quality.

No I am dead-serious, look at the music people have literally made in this game with these free libraries:

#WritersCoffeeClub 2.1: Intro: Self Promo.

Let's see...
I'm Dan Burley, and I'm a #author (who is in the midst of #writing a series of #crimefiction novels), an #editor, an #artist, a #musician, and a fledgliing #gamedev / #indiedev.

My latest release is the #DreamsPS4 cinematic novel "WHITE LIGHT", and I am on track to release my next book, titled "If I Dig Too Deep", by the end of this year (FINALLY).

If you're interested in any of that stuff, I have a Linktree: https://linktr.ee/DanBurley

I'm gonna go ahead and make this a thread of different #music I wrote for "WHITE LIGHT", because I think it would be nice to have them somewhere other than the #DreamsPS4 ecosystem.

I first wrote this track for a book ad, but shelved it. When I got 'DREAMS', I used it to learn the music tools. Again, I'd like to mix it better, but, you know...deaf. When I did the arrangement, I was thinking of old anime scores.

#games #gamedev #synth #rock #solodev #synthpop #orchestral #noir #crimefiction

Here is a medley of #music I composed for my #DreamsPS4 cinematic novel "WHITE LIGHT". I made it for...a thing, but figured some here might enjoy it, too. What's here is mostly the main theme and variations of it. I'd like to mix it better, but am unfortunately quite deaf. I did the best I could! Most instruments are programmed, but some were played live (mostly guitar stuff).

#WritersCoffeeClub 12.12: 2/2

I have stories planned for specific media, and I plan to tell them all. Will I *get* to? Unlikely. But, the biggest ones I will absolutely get to, and the biggest of the big ones is planned as a game. Over 3 years, I solo-deved a game in #DreamsPS4 to kind of test the waters and see if I really wanted to be a dev, and it was one of the most creatively-fulfilling experiences of my life. Now that I have that experience, I know I can do it...but with a team this time.

#WritersCoffeeClub 17: Do you draw out maps/floorplans/diagrams/etc for key set pieces in your writing?

Yes, but those designs are unfortunately trapped on the hard drive of a computer I can't get to boot up anymore. However, I have also used Dreams (#DreamsPS4, #MadeInDreams) to create some of the spaces, and here are a couple of the ones I'm comfortable showing off.

Clockwise: Brownstone (top floor), child Elizabeth's room, adult Elizabeth's sunroom, and Reggie's main apartment.

#WritersCoffeeClub 31:

I love throwing horror elements around. In all of my currently-available work, these come in the form of either real world horrors or as bad dreams experienced by the narrators.

My latest work, the #DreamsPS4 game White Light, takes place 100% in the dream space of Reggie Harper—a former homicide detective-turned P.I.—whose mind tortures him with vivid nightmares every time he attempts to sleep.

The most frightening thing I've written? It's not released yet, so...🤐

This morning is brought to you by.. this track, because that's all I can hear from outside - cicada song. Some people might take the sounds of their every day environment for granted.. others are haunted by that ever-present seasonal hum and it becomes the soundtrack of our summer lives.

With all those new to #DreamsPS4/#DreamsPS5 via #PSPlus, I'd like to share this cinematic novel I created. It took 3 years of (mostly solo) dev time to complete, and I'm really proud of it (even though it hasn't really found an audience), so I hope you'll check it out! If you're new to Dreams & wondering what 1 person with no prior #gamedev experience can do...👇

There were a lot of hiccups along the way, & lots of iteration, but I'll forever be proud of the final product and what it taught me about #gamedev. It's an hours-long story, which is quite a bit more involved than a lot of what has been #MadeInDreams, but if that isn't a deterrent, I hope that you'll give it a try, if you have #DreamsPS4.

A year ago today--following 3 years of mostly solo dev time--I released my first game; The cinematic novel "WHITE LIGHT", which was 100% #MadeInDreams! I picked up a lot of new skills making it (like sculpting & animation), and I'm thankful to #MediaMolecule for giving me the tools to try my hand at long-form interactive visual entertainment. I never thought I'd be capable of making a game, but #DreamsPS4 showed me that not only could I do it, I should. And I did. 1/?https://indreams.me/dream/mMLdzYKEGWM

J'en était sûr.. Media Molecule viens d'abandonner Dreams et a aussi annulé le mode multijoueur.. :crying_cat_2:

«An Update on Server Changes and Live Service Support for Dreams»

[https://docs.indreams.me/en-US/whats-happening/news/dreams-support-update]

Развитие «Dreams» прекратят с сентября.

Печально, ибо штука довольно забавная, да и там до сих пор разрабатывается достаточно интересных штук. Тут, конечно, отлично бы подошел если не полноценный порт на PC, то хотя бы какой-нибудь инструментарий.

#DreamsPS4

@ajroach42 hi hi! I make #electronicmusic influenced by #progrock, #ambient, #industrial, etc. Most of what I have out is solo produced, drafted in #DreamsPS4, and finished in #ProTools or #AbletonLive on PC.

I was a professional #photographer and #visualartist until my 30s, trained myself to make #music, and went back to school for another degree at 38 to be able to work with others in the #musicindustry.

I'm married, have 2 dogs, and live in Alabama.
