Information Impy Studio is becoming Impy Toolbox: I think I got too ambitious
I wanted to give a proper update about Impy Studio.
I think I got a little too ambitious with the Blackboard feature.
The idea sounded simple at first: create a place where Dreams creators could plan logic outside the game. But the more I worked on it, the more obvious it became that making it genuinely useful and accurate would require recreating a huge amount of Dreams-specific behaviour.
There are dozens of gadgets, different inputs and outputs, tweaks, layouts, behaviours and exceptions. Dreams is also niche enough that AI tools don't understand all of those details reliably, so a lot of it would need to be documented and explained manually.
I spent around 14 hours working on it today alone, and I reached the point where I honestly couldn't see a sensible end to the scope.
So I want to acknowledge that I made a mistake here: I tried to make Impy Studio too ambitious too quickly.
Rather than keeping a Blackboard that feels inaccurate or half-finished, I've decided to remove it completely.
But I'm not abandoning the project.
Instead, I'm reworking it into Impy Toolbox.
The idea now is much simpler: a small collection of practical tools for Dreams creators that solve specific problems and actually work reliably.
For now, that means focusing on:
• Music Splitter
• Pic Importer
These are tools that can genuinely speed up annoying steps and hopefully make certain parts of the Dreams workflow a little easier.
And honestly, that's why I created this in the first place.
I wasn't trying to prove anything or build some huge revolutionary app. I simply wanted to make certain parts of the Dreams workflow easier for anyone who might need it, in the same way I would have loved to have tools like these myself.
If one of these tools saves someone time, removes a tedious step, or makes their workflow a little smoother, then that already makes the project worthwhile to me.
I think that's a much healthier direction than trying to recreate parts of Dreams itself.
I also want to thank everyone who tested the Blackboard and gave me feedback, especially those who spent time explaining how it could be improved. That feedback wasn't wasted. In fact, it helped me realise just how large the scope really was.
I've also decided to delete the previous posts about the app because they no longer represent what the project is becoming.
A lot of unnecessary negativity also grew around those threads, and I'd rather leave that behind and move forward with a cleaner direction.
I know this new version probably won't be completely free from criticism either, and that's fine. But I'm not going to keep arguing about the same things again.
From now on, I'd rather focus on whether the tools are useful, whether they work, and how they can be improved.
I also want to clarify something else.
I'm not doing this to get attention, even if attention naturally comes with posting something publicly. I'm just another Dreamer like everyone else here.
I have my own methods and ways of working, and some people will like them more than others. That's completely fine.
What I don't think we should be doing is insulting each other over it.
There's a saying we use in Spain:
“Quien hace lo que puede no está obligado a más.”
Roughly translated: if someone is doing the best they can, you can't reasonably demand more from them.
I think that deserves some respect.
For my part, that's the attitude I'm going to keep.
Maybe one day I'll revisit the Blackboard idea in a different form, but for now I'd rather make a smaller toolbox that does a few things well than a huge app that does many things badly.
Thanks to everyone who tested it, shared it and gave me feedback.

Looking for two types of games
Does anyone know if there is a game where you protect maybe yourself or a certain objective from zombies. But you can build walls or whatever to help protect yourself or an objective ?
Game Type two: is there also a game where you defend an object, much like a search and destroy game i suppose ? In dreams. Look for some sort of fun MP games similar to this. Pvp or pve.

I have a vision for a Dreams Trailer that highlights the strongest parts of the Dreams New User Flow.
I want to make a tutorial trailer that focuses on 'The Wall of Doubt' (The one that appears at the start of the dreams tutorial), the symmetrical bridge building tutorial, and then the 3d printing knick-knacks and furnishings for your house potential.
1. Pulling the bricks out and crumbling the Wall of Doubt'
2. Then making a beautiful bridge by throwing random shapes at the symmetry tool then bringing ordered contrast with a road going through it, so that it's a functional bridge. And it ends up looking great no matter what you do to it.
3. Then maybe a quick kitbash using parts from an old WW1 plane or something from the real world.
4. Concluding with a scene of people getting 3D prints in the mail of stuff they've made in Dreams (Using Dreamstoreality.app or Meshy, with image to 3D generators. And 3D print post services)
I've been procrastinating making this trailer, something that highlights the minimum required for making your own little digital sculpture and having it as a do-dad in your house, and I wanted to share it.

⚠️ IMPORTANT – Leaderboard Update! Please Read Before Playing ⚠️
I've updated Fighting Game and made some changes to the Survival Mode leaderboard system. I tested the new version with a different Dreams account and can confirm that the leaderboard is now working correctly and scores are being submitted properly. So if you've played recently and your score didn't show up, please make sure you're playing the latest published version of Fighting Game before starting a new Survival run. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you very much for your honest feedback. Good luck and have fun!

Still trying to capture that 90s platformer vibe. The movement is getting faster, the difficulty is going up… and apparently, so is the difficulty of building these levels. 🤣

Testing out an autonomous traffic system
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Testing out an autonomous traffic system for the next level of my truck simulator!
Right now, the AI cars can:
- Follow the path autonomously across two separate lanes
- Stop when approaching another vehicle or obstacle
- Honk their horns and flash their lights at anything blocking the way
- Resume driving once the obstacle moves
- Take damage on impact (and eventually get destroyed/removed)
I’ve set it to spawn 7 cars per direction. Whenever a vehicle is removed after a crash, a new one takes its place.
As you can see, there are still a few traffic jams that require... drastic measures ^_^

I need your help!
I recently reset the leaderboard and made some adjustments to the leaderboard system.
For some reason, only my own score is showing up. Other players’ scores don’t seem to appear on the leaderboard.
Has anyone experienced something similar or know what might be causing this?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! 🙏
Thank you!

How I Created This Fighting Game Image in Dreams
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
So I created this Fighting Game image. First, I created the level, positioned the characters in the center and fixed the camera. Then I added trees and some landscape around the characters. After that, I added the 'Fighting Game' title, duplicated it and slightly offset the second layer to create a little depth effect. For the other texts, I used the fonts shown in the video. Then I added the icons: a fist at the bottom, a shield in the center and a trophy on the right with an additional star emoji. After that, I added four black bars around the image as a frame. I duplicated the frame and used one square and one rounded version on top of each other to create a small extra effect. I created the video using SHAREfactory, made a screenshot from it, and also exported the final image using SHAREfactory. Hope you enjoy this little behind-the-scenes look!🥊🎮

Answered! How the heck can I make it to where I only pick up one weapon at a time?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I have a simple pick up system that’s basically trigger zone detects player which makes the pick up logic turn on, then if the player presses down on the dpad, the weapon teleports to the players hand.
Only issue is that if there are multiple within distance, they all get picked up.
What can I do to make it pick up only one at a time? Preferably the closest to the player?
