Paddy's Dreamland

Welcome!

Hi, welcome to Sublimity, and Paddy's Dreamland! Paddy's Dreamland is our alternative name to Sublimity, so don't get confused, thanks! Our main focus is re-creating games that run on the Source and the Frostbite engines in different engines, such as Roblox, and exploring said game engines.

At the same time, our community serves as a general hub for game developers and regular members. We feature showcase channels where various projects are introduced and showcased by the community to receive feedback and support.

Sublime Nook - Our Safe Space

If you're a dependent individual and are looking for comfort, apart from game development, we also offer two weekly Sublime Nook events. In those events, we as mentors, and you as a mentee, gather together and experience fun activities such as playing games together, watching movies, and etc. If you by any chance feel down, we also tend to talk about personal problems and will do everything to make you feel better.

Of course, Sublime Nook's events are optional and every participant is not forced to stay. If you feel uncomfortable, you can leave at any time. That being said, Sublime Nook's goals are to make our members feel better and included.

7th of October 2024 — New Source-themed Game in Development

While I did mention that I'm quite busy, things can get boring, and working on a small indie game doesn't hurt.

So, what's the game? The game is called Fragmented Worlds: Source. It's an atmospheric exploration experience where players navigate various worlds, each inspired by different styles of music. As you explore, you'll encounter unique environments, hidden secrets, and puzzles, all while discovering underrated, non-copyrighted tracks that shape the mood of each map. Progress is saved seamlessly, and the world unfolds based on the paths you take.

To motivate myself to update the website more frequently, I'm introducing a new section called Showcase. Similar to the channel in the Discord server, I'll be posting media related to my projects here. However, instead of posting content frequently, I'll focus on documenting my work and compiling relevant videos and screenshots. By the end of the day, week, or even month (depending on how busy things get), I'll provide the Showcase section with detailed updates about Fragmented Worlds: Source and future games.

See you all next weekend!

20th of September 2024 — Recreation of Paddy's Dreamland

Here it is, Paddy's Dreamland as a website has been remade. The previous version had a few issues I simply couldn't ignore, so I remade it from the ground up. Here are the general issues that the previous website had:

• Improper handling of sub-pixels, which caused the website to appear blurry. Especially one pixel horizontal rules which would appear as if they are two pixels in height and a bit transparent.
• Terrible optimization. For example, the high-resolution background video, and possibly some JavaScript related code.
• The design felt a bit strange. I can't exactly remember what made me pick a magenta color scheme, but I'm glad I got rid of it.
• Some features such as the splash text at the top of the page would often desynchronize and flicker.

With those issues being resolved, I also decided to add some more features and flair to the page. The new additions are designed to give people a good first impression of the website, I hope you like it.

If you are curious about what changed, here are some general points about the changes that occurred:

• The main navigation buttons now have silk icons, which adds more style.
• The social links now have a similar style to the main navigation buttons.
• Several structure HTML structure and CSS reworks.
• A new background video, which is also optimized.
• And other features you will most likely discover yourself.

That's everything from me for now.

17th of September 2024 — Pausing Projects to Focus on Growth

I want to give a quick update on my current situation. As many of you know, I've started a software development apprenticeship, and it's been keeping me very busy. Because of this, I'll need to put most of my projects on hold for at least three years while I focus on learning and growing in my apprenticeship.

During this time, the only projects I'll be able to work on are those that support my apprenticeship, such as my website, or any new projects I come up with that might help me build relevant skills. I appreciate your understanding and support.

I may be able to revisit some of my previous projects during holiday breaks, but we'll see how things go.

2nd of September 2023 — Release of Paddy's Dreamland

And here we are, Sublimity崇高 has its own website now, and the reason behind it is because I am now studying to become a software developer. I learned a bunch of things about website creation in the process, and decided, "yeah, let's create a website for Sublimity." I am still learning and will possibly finish the whole apprenticeship in the year 2027.

Why is the domain name "paddysdreamland.com"? The original domain "sublimity.com" is not in use, nor is it available, so I decided to roll with the domain I have for a years now. The entire website is still relatively simple. If there are issues, please let me know. Other than that, have fun.

18th of October 2024 — Customization Settings

Yes, it's finally here! If the colors of the website are getting repetitive for you, especially if you don't like the rounded corners or want more rounded corners, you can change it here!

Nothing here yet.

Nothing here yet.

No information about my commissions are currently available as I am busy in my life at the moment, check in another time.

Need to rewrite this because it sucked.

Paddy's Dreamland was initially intended to be a separate community aimed at an adult audience. However, my ideas changed when I rotated Sublimity's logo by 60 degrees, revealing a resemblance to a lowercase "p" and "d." Given that "sublimity.com" is already taken, Paddy's Dreamland now serves as an alternative name for Sublimity itself.

Yes, this is me, also known as Paddy Draw, or just Paddy. Owner of both, Sublimity and Paddy's Dreamland. My name may imply that I draw digital art, which may have been true, but that's no longer the case. Yet, I kept the name because I like it.

In my previous times, I lead a semi-serious Half-Life 2 Roleplay game on Roblox for about 3 years. Later, it was passed on to a great friend, who is now continuing with it in their own style and rules.

Forwarding the previous game made it easier for me to lead Sublimity to a new theme and goal, that goal being Mirror's Edge Catalyst. The focus on said game allowed me to start working on a new game, we call it Project Pamplona. The goal of the game is to replicate the entire open world and bring it to Roblox, which would then allow us the expand the lore of Mirror's Edge Catalyst, where players would be able take control of different roles and factions, apart from being just a runner.

Woopsie, there is still no proper credits section, my bad! In reality, I don't have any ideas on who to credit, as it also involves close people and I don't want to put their real names here.

This gallery highlights iconic key moments in Sublimity, you can also get a small taste of what our community is like. To get a better look at images, you might have to zoom in for now.

Paddy's Dreamland was initially designed to prevent users from zooming into the page as a design choice, as it uses pixels for the scaling and to render correctly. While I work on an image viewer for the gallery, that restriction has been disabled.

You're welcome to submit your own screenshots or other various imagery about Sublimity, just post them in the ・𝗠emories channel in our Discord server, we won't bite!

Mirror's Edge™ Catalyst's soundtrack, made dynamic, entirely within the browser. I also included visual feedback, so you can see what happens with each individual layer. I consider this my first proper project for Paddy's Dreamland. Here's how it works:

• After a track has been chosen and the play button has been hit, it will start by fading in the third and the fourth layer.
• Depending on the length of each loop, one or two layers will blend in or out, this happens when the loop restarts.
• It is impossible to have less than two layers playing in total to avoid complete silence.
• Each layer of bars represents two sounds, which are spread out on both speakers/headphones.
• If you want to select another track, just refresh the page. Don't worry, PD saves your previous section.

I hope you enjoy this little tech demonstration. I may do more with it in the future.

Tired of cyan or the rounded corners? Add your own personal touches and modifications to the website here.

If you're looking to add a dark-mode kind of theme to the website, setting the primary color to 0, 0, 0 is not recommended, use 64, 64, 64 instead. Either way, have fun customizing your stay!
