If you keep up with the latest and greatest PlayStation news, you're probably highly aware of Dreams. This Sony-published sandbox game has players creating their own content to share with the world, and with Dreams launching as an Early Access title on PS4 last week, players are already sharing some mightily impressive stuff.
Catching our eye - because of course it would - is a fanmade creation called 'Kirby Project'. The game (or level?) has been made by Dreams user, mrcaliam, and features a gorgeous 3D Kirby scene. Kirby himself looks great, and players who jump inside to give it a go can run around, fly, and explore as Kirby on their PS4.
Considering the game is still in its Early Access state, and that players have only had a week to get to grips with the software, we imagine we'll be seeing all sorts of crazy and amazing creations from players around the world.
Until then, though, why not join us in dreaming of a new 3D Kirby adventure for Switch in the comments below?

this game looks fun
This seems to be the default 3D world.
Since it just released there's a similar game to this skinned like Cuphead w/ enemies to fight and coins to collect.
But the best I've played is a 1st person game that looks like this but plays similar to Mario Galaxy. Forget the name but it has "in Place" in the middle of a long title. It has a great day-night cycle as well. That's my recommendation if you get a chance to try Dreams.
I'll add this one to the list on inDreams.
This looks great. Good stuff.
I'm sure there will be lots of Nintendo clones in Dreams, but as always Nintendo will be the Party Pooper and have them removed.
@nintendolie Well, it's their IP and folks like us don't own it.
@nintendolie Yeah gosh darn Nintendo for protecting their intellectual property. Sony, Microsoft, Fox, Disney, HBO, Netflix, Funimation, Hulu, and pretty much everyone else would always just let you steal their work and make your own stuff with it. They would never bother to enforce their copyrights at all. Only Nintendo would, because they are evil.
I wish I could take a nap in that grass. It looks so soft.
@Medic_alert they haven't reviewed Mortal Kombat 11 because it doesn't come out until 10th May on Switch
Games like these are going to lead to some interesting situations. There will undoubtedly be countless Mario clones for example, so at what point does a loving homage become blatant copyright infringement? Going to be tricky for for all involved this. Although Sony will surely wash their hands of any responsibility (a la Twitter, Youtube etc).
Not big on level making games but this creation looks great.
Media Molecule is a fantastic British studio.
@Medic_alert No worries, I can't check it myself but I believe you dude ^_^ Well, it could be they have to wait for a review copy to come through, be that physcial or digital. Always nice to wait for the Digital Foundry to do their awesome work on comparison write-ups, but for now you could head over to Push Square to see how the reviewed the PS4 edition.
The main point here that every single user should be absolutely up in arms and screaming about, and yet no-one has even mentioned yet...
WHY THE BEJEEZISH HASN'T NINTENDO MADE AN HD 3D KIRBY GAME?
A fully open-world Kirby game is all I'll ever need.
They did Kirby’s cute little falling animation (the one where he jumps and then flips over before continuing to run) perfectly
how about a nice 3d kirby game for the switch? that last game didn't satisfy..
@MH4 Plot twist: This Dreams version was made by HAL as a teaser for the brand new 3D Kirby game to be announced at E3 this year!
This is a great idea, except for how it's on PS4.
@Medic_alert Nintendo Life are based in the UK, so MK11 likely won't be reviewed much before the 10th May European release date.
@Heavyarms55 You are right, even showing clips of Nintendo on Youtube will have that video copyright claimed by Nintendo. We have to be very careful when talking about Nintendo.
idk, this looks bland, and ive been watching more dreams stuff being made on PS and everything looks bland, that Mario 64 loos "impressive" but thats about it, same with this.
I was initially impressed but without Kirby's powers, it's really not Kirby. It's the equivalent of throwing Wolverine into that game without his claws and healing ability.
It's not made by Sakurai so it's not a true Kirby game plus the game looks awfully boring and lack any charms. No transformation ability and no real enemies to absorb also makes this game very meh at best. Now if only all these efforts are for a real original game.
@Painkiller_Mike I mean Kirby didn’t initially have his copy abilities anyways, he could just suck up, spit, and swallow enemies.
@retro_player_22 You do know Sakurai hasn't directed a Kirby game since Air Ride, right?
The question is can he use his swallow..
@Solomon18 Aw, Extra Epic Yarn wasn't that bad.
PlayStation doesn’t deserve Kirby!
@ShadJV You are correct. The very first Kirby game, Kirby's Dream Land for the Gameboy did not have a capture ability and it's almost as boring as what was created in this PS4 game. Keyword, almost. I would still rather play the Game Boy Kirby.
Couldn't finish the video, the music was driving me crazy.
Lmao a guy makes a little fan project and there are people here actually criticizing his work. And im almost certain it's because he's doing it on a ps4 game. I bet you guys would be applauding some guy recreating a kirby stage in minecraft for switch or one of those bland looking smash stages with stage builder
Can Nintendo actually do anything about this though? It's not like that level is being sold for money and the creator is making a profit from it
Kirby himself doesn't mind though, he said he likes copying...
This is an empty, generic landscape, where Kirby is running and flying (with very odd animations) around. Where exactly is this "gorgeous"? 🤔
I can't wait to get my hands on Dream! Looks amazing
@MrBlacky "Considering the game is still in its Early Access state, and that players have only had a week to get to grips with the software, we imagine we'll be seeing all sorts of crazy and amazing creations from players around the world."
Imagine if the creator of this put months into it? The potential for this game is astounding. Especially when you see what some creators achieved on LBP
@Painkiller_Mike oh I agree that the first Kirby was not really fun, at least personally I didn’t enjoy it. But it was more that it’s still Kirby’s with his copy ability. Even some of the enjoyable games lacked his copy ability, such as Mass Attack and Epic Yarn. I just meant that whether there’s a copy ability has nothing to do with whether it’s a Kirby game.
This reminds me of getting the option to play instruments in Final Fantasy XIV. Before you actually get the ability, you have to agree to terms that basically say you can only play Final Fantasy music. I think the community has decided that it’s okay to play what ever you want, as long as you don’t record it and post it on social media.
There definitely will be rules about this in the next decade. Things like Super Mario World hacks...the creators aren’t selling the games, but the streamers who play them get donations and subs from people BECAUSE they are playing them. I’m curious (and nervous) about how the law will deal with things like this.
The only think Kirby about it is the character.
@NerdyBoutKirby oh I meant his last switch outing. didnt get to play epic yarn..
This looks like some student project
I wonder what the toolset in dreams is like. I enjoyed messing around with project spark on xbox
Really nice attention to details on the animation of running, jumping and falling.
Somehow, Kirby's face felt a little off, even though the eyes and mouth were right. I'm pretty sure is the lack of pink (pinkier?) cheeks
@Medic_alert I don't know how NL do reviews. Maybe they wait for a free physical copy from the developer, or maybe they haven't been sent a review code yet.
@rjejr do you mean 'a little place in outer space'?
Nintendolife is over selling this by calling it 'gorgeous'. It looks bland and devoid of any charm.
@MrBlacky "This is an empty, generic landscape, where Kirby is running and flying (with very odd animations) around. Where exactly is this "gorgeous"? 🤔"
Agree 100%. This looks like an ugly tech demo to me. It has absolutely no character at all. Sort of reminds me of the Unreal Engine remakes of Ocarina Of Time - it's like someone upped the polygon count and lighting detail but simultaneously sucked all of the life and soul out of the original.
@quinnyboy58 That sounds good. And I've been meaning to check so thanks for the reminder.
Yeah, that's the one.
Sony fans: Nintendo games are for babies
Also Sony fans: let's recreate Nintendo games
I was looking for that "gorgeous" kirby gameplay footage but it wasn't in the article. All I saw was a poorly animated Kirby-looking character and some bland backgrounds. And besides it not looking good, it's not a game if it's nothing but a single character and a 3d space. Games need rules and goals, otherwise it's called a toy, or maybe it's art, or it's just some assets from an incomplete project; whatever it is, it's not a game.
Wow you can jump?
Doesn't look bad.
I wonder how long this application will live. Remember a similar title on Xbox360? That didn't have a long life!
@ADV These aren't the same group of Sony fans.
