We got soundtracks, pixel art, where's my pony rpg?

I lost my shit at the scratchy "20% cooler".

Love this stuff. This one became my favorite at the 3:30 mark.

StrawberrySpice said...

I'd make an RPG, just would need proper spriters, and story board writers. :P
AH WELL
Great song either way :D

Strong Bad was wrong. 8-bit is not enough!
I'm gonna check out with the rest of my jazz band, and try and get them to agree to playing jazz versions.
Thankfully, they're all girls and love the show.
...Why am I a male Asian that attends a historically black female college and watches MLP all while doing his own Jazz band?

@Anonymous Because you are a boss, that's why.

I'm not surprised that this is the best sounding 8-bit track, it is Rarity's song afterall

Rae said...

This is the best. I've been waiting for this since the 8 bit "Giggle at the Ghosties".

so what are the chances of getting mp3s of these? i would very much enjoy them.

Cray0n said...

Check the video description, cherrybomb

awesomeness melted my face off

This is around 20% cooler than anything else I've seen today.

Victorian R. Hellsly said...

I want to listen to Art of the Dress x100 times now. Off I go! <3 Rarity!

Fon Shaolin said...

You know, we should get together and make something on rpg maker. Embric Of Wulfhammers Castle turned out pretty good for /u/, so why can't we do something like that?

Fon Shaolin said...

Actually, looking at the rpg maker stuff I wouldn't mind doing something like this. Can you put custom sprites into it fairly easy? I can't code worth a shit.

Cray0n said...

@Purple Tinker Only 20? Rarity hater detected.

Neon Noble said...

I know how to utilize Game Maker 8. ;3

If I had enough free time and maybe no comics or fanfics to write, I could donate some of my time to making an RPG. At its core, it doesn't seem all that entirely hard.

Iron Raptor said...

I wonder... if a dedicated few were to create a game based off the MLP:FiM series, would you prefer RPG, or Sim, like SimCity-ish type?

Neon Noble said...

@Iron Raptor

RPG style. I'm not a fan of the Sims and stuff.

Tekaramity said...

Just as heart-stirringly beautiful as I'd hoped. I am at a loss for further words.

@Iron Raptor

I concur with the RPG choice.

Yo, Winter Wrap Up, I'm real happy for you. Imma let you finish, but Art of the Dress had one of the best 8-bit remixes of all time! One of the best 8-bit remixes of all time!

Phoe said...

@Iron Raptor

I would play a Pony RPG and love it, but I think my first choice would always be an arcade-style fighter. I'm pretty sure I'm alone in this...

Neon Noble said...

An arcade-styled pony fighter? Hmmm....

It'd be clunky...

ER said...

I love this guy/gal's stuff!

Retl said...

@Iron Raptor
RPG. I prefer tactical RPGs, but I think each individual main character of FiM has enough depth that it'd work well as a 3 or 4 pony-at-a-time type turn-based affair.

I'm thinking Super Mario RPG. Get a little more oomph-feeling in the bucking.

Only if I'm picking from those choices.
Realistically, I'd find it a lot more fitting and awesome to see either a visual novel style of game, or a Puzzle League / Tetris Attack / Panel De Pon variant with the MLP:FiM theme. If the sound effects were right, with the music around more or less, it could be awesome and addictive.

Neon Noble said...

@Retl

I was thinking the same thing. It would be pretty fun to do if we could get the proper resources to do it, since coding isn't only enough.

Sandman said...

This seriously made my day, I listened to this and couldn't stop grinning.
My favorite 8-bit remix is this.

Iron Raptor said...

I can provide artwork if need be. If it's 8bit I can see about providing sprite art, we'd need to flesh out storyboard, I mean, heck.. we've got a LOT of locales to choose from, Ponyville, Everfree Forest, Cloudsdale, Canterlot, Fillydelphia, I honestly think that if enough dedicated fans were willing to pool their skills together, we could very well create a damn good fanservice RPG game! :D

Grrxmaster said...

@Iron Raptor Then I declare it to be so! Oh wait, I don't have that authority. Damn.

Neon Noble said...

@Iron Raptor

I'm totally willing to get in on this. Perhaps discussion on Ponychan or some Equestria Daily IRC? :P

Don_ko said...

My least favorite 8 bit. It just doesn't sound like art of the dress.

Anonymous said...

I'm going to go against the grain and say I liked the Winter Wrap Up one most, then Giggle at the Ghosty, then this one least.

Not to say I don't love this with all of my heart, just like the others more.

Twinkletail said...

oh god i love this so much

every time i listen to it, i hear something i didn't notice last time. just noticed this time that they even included a meow where opal meowed in the song. so great.

StrawberrySpice said...

Well, I have a platform engine I made sitting around on my computer that I could use to whip something up, and a top down RPG would be fairly easy to make as well.

The only problem I see for me is storyboard and sprites, and the fact that I'm kinda working on something else too >_>

But Pony would be top priority.

Iron Raptor said...

@Neon Noble

As Pinkie Pie once said, "Let's DO IT!!!" :D To the Ponychan!

@Iron Raptor

It shall be done! The Equestria Daily Pony RPG!

Battle stations, everyone!
