I’m currently very obsessed with Disneys Dreamlight Valley....so I wrote a whole script/questline how Bruno could be implemented. Any interest? I also wanted to draw pictures to go along with it. XD
some lil Wall-E's i drew after playing way too much dreamlight valley, while watching @pirateherokillian DLV streams. can’t believe how precious he is 🥹🌱
So I have been checking the Disney Dreamlight Valley dialogue and it is actually really helpful for getting characterization for characters like Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Minnie, and even Scrooge (Not sure if Ducktales or Duck Comics Scrooge). You can literally just ask them questions and it seems very in character.
Honestly I've been finding the Mickey dialogue useful (and honestly reaffirming).
I appreciate that they specifically acknowledge that Mickey isn't always happy and does make mistakes.
Also remember that post I made about how I don't think Mickey would let fame get to his head and many people agreed... Turns out we were right.
It is even cool to see more about how Mickey feels about his friends like in the favorite friend question above or even in this where he talks about Donald.
It seems like Dreamlight treats the characters as if they were actors and their shorts as performances. Similar to Roger Rabbit and other appearances. (Though it seems like their personalities are generally the same)
Also Three Musketeers reference:
I dunno. I just wanted to share because I think it is cool to have the characters themselves tell us who they are. (At least in the interpretation of the writers, but I am sure Disney made sure they at least got the main crew accurate)
90% of the time in dreamlight valley you’re like. picking flowers for wall-e or whatever. the other 10% is the most insanely-raw lore and you never know when it will hit
Dreamlight Valley before launch: disney meets animal crossing!! hang out with your favorite characters!! grow crops!! decorate!! enjoy this cozy life sim!!
Dreamlight Valley a year later: content warning for realistic depictions of depression, also minnie is traumatized
I feel like some of Disney's recent crossover projects are trying to bring the Kingdom Hearts fans over into something Disney has more direct control over and isn't weighted down by Nomura's fanfiction. It's funny to me. Like sorry bestie, but Mirrorverse and Lorcana and Dreamlight Valley are NEVER going to be the next Kingdom Hearts. Making a vaguely high fantasy world with Disney characters at the center isn't exciting or special the way forcing Mickey Mouse into a massive, convoluted Shonen anime JRPG is.
