#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.

I’m part of a hobbie game studio called Team Pig Detective. We had a request from Kinda funny to use dreams to animate sections of an episode of the Blessing Show that was about dreams.
I got to work on some of the room assets and did the animation for it. It was really fun to do and was a pretty awesome project since I’m a fan of Kinda funny’s podcasts.
The animation was all done on a PS4 using the DualShock controller.

Dreams is a powerful tool for people who love to create. All these were made on a PS4 using the move controls and a Dual shock controller. Asset sculpting, animation, music, UI, game logic and painting can all done in the one program.
A complete game or animation can be entirely made within the program which is usually for sale for under $50AUD
It’s incredibly easy to learn, even for beginners like me who had never used 3D modeling tools before.
