Trouble with dreams is that they do vary between people. There are commonalities of course, by my dreams aren't your dreams and vice-versa. Personally, I've had good and bad dreams that fall in all different parts of the real/fake spectrum, so I'm more open to how game devs might approach the idea of a dream game. Understandably, if your dreams are more consistently in a "real, with one thing off" setting, then only games that do that will seem like dreams to you.

Dreams are realistic Hmm Not mine. My dreams are indescribable. Sometimes they DO have walls textured in off-color photographs. Dreams just don't follow the rules, really. Or at least the rules they follow are too complex and strange to really interpret.

My dreams vary constantly in setting, detail, and sensibility or lack thereof. Back on topic, I do like the idea that this was based on a staff member's dream journal- wonder how much of the game is taken directly from that book?

i think the only thing that people's dreams have in common is the feeling of something a little bit off. i for one am blessed with having really awesome, picturesque, epic dreams. of course, this is counterbalanced by also getting really awesome, picturesque, epic nightmares.

Cool; what's weird is that my dreams usually seem to make sense at the time. Like once, when I was at this boarding school where all of the grades were forced into trenches to try and fight each other (a literal class war). I decided that this was a terrible idea, and proceeded to debate with my classmates in a freeform rap-off. It was quite awesome.

yeah, dreams always seem perfectly logical while you're having them, but you wake up and go

ahem. On topic, I would like to see a 2D game that imitates the style of Dr. Seuss - twisted buildings, disturbingly gooey water, numerous objects balanced precariously on top of each other, furry animals with long necks, and the sky is always a flat white in the day and a flat black at night. Now just imagine running, jumping and puzzle-solving through there.

Good idea! It would be quite the environment to experience, and you probably could add some interesting illusions if you felt like it too.

A proper Dr. Seuss game might just cure AIDS- it would be that awesome.

I second the need of a Dr. Seuss game.

This is one of the things on my list of "damn, I wish I could figure this out": http://graphics.cs.brown.edu/research/art/kowalski-s99-preprint-300dpi.pdfIt shows how some guys figured out a way of creating some of Dr. Suess' trees and furs in a 3D environment.

That was awesome! I have been experimenting some with different NPR techniques, haven't made anything new in awhile, but here is an old stroke render test...
