Media Molecule’s Dreams was a highly ambitious title which allowed for all players to create and experience a near infinite number of ‘Dreams’ thanks to the game’s freedom-focused design and a playerbase of creative dreamers. While the game has unfortunately seen its long-term support conclude, a new update to Dreams now allows players to export their creations for commercial use.
Making the announcement on their blog as part of the latest 2.60 update for Dreams, Media Molecule said “As we look towards the end of Dreams’ live service later this year, we’re eager to get to a place where creators can use their content created in Dreams outside of that space for personal use. While this can’t cover all content, our updated Dreams Content Usage Terms allows for music, animation, films and art created in Dreams to be used for both personal and commercial use outside of the game.”
The full terms and conditions can be found HERE, however the gist of it is that all creations except full games can now be sold for commercial use. It is worth noting however that “if you used someone else's creation in your own work, you will need their permission if you want to use it outside of Dreams for your intended purpose.”
While Dreams most likely should have launched with this functionality, it is good at the very least to see this update being made available. Hopefully this helps boost the popularity of Dreams by at least a little bit.
