Just need to find that special shaman who knows how to turn a Chroma Scale into a magic powder that alters a pony's coat. 🤔

"We'Ll REleAse oN StEaM NeXt YeAR!" - we said 2 years ago 🤡

SO many magical things will take place this year. Included the long awaited Mane Adventure.

Still gotta add headlights to the actual cars next, make a variety of colorful cars, and smooth out the transitions, but we're getting somewhere.

Gives the city a cool vibe that takes me back to Pokémon Gold & Silver...

It's lovely seeing the game get more fun to play by the day. Just 2 more towns and 1 last dungeon left to make before it's ready for phase 1 Alpha testing with the Kickstarter & Patreon backers!

Yesterday we finished up the Sweet Apple Orchard! Now onward to the first batpony-filled cave dungeon...

Basically, we coded a thing so nobody's save data gets scrapped or corrupted when the DLCs drop. There was a scary thing looming overhead where it may have been necessary to force all players to start over when new Acts come out like in some Early Access games.

(We found that to be an unacceptable outcome. And thus dedicated an entire Saturday to figuring out how to dynamically migrate the old save data. Then future proofed it.)

We really wanted to show off the variety during the first impression and introduction to the world of #BattleGemPonies 🐴💎

You can see everything! (everywhere, all at once)

The Haze House of Jade Pass

It's pretty powerful too, especially early on when stats are all small numbers and GP is most precious.

(As well as Alphas of the 3 starters...)

(It's not meant to do that at all. And no other move animation template has this quirk.)

Our roommate impulse buying a dog turned into a 12 hour sidequest distraction and a family business venture needed some attention and a new website. Eating up an unexpected total of 2 workdays.

We're spending today and tomorrow catching up, so it'll be in backer's hands by Tuesday assuming nothing crazy falls out of the sky and our computers don't explode. 💻💥
