Diamond Dogs Interview Byrpheros


Another one that got lost in my pile of things.

Byrpheros is the pony who's making Equestria Tales, by the way. You may recall our posting of some demo work of his engine a while back. I'm talking months.

In this little interview, he talks about making the game, the challenges of a cell-shaded game in particular, and teases us about a beta. You can find the interview in Docs format here.

Isn't that demo footage you linked from a different project?

SprintF said...

Here's the problem: looking at that screenshot, I don't want the game to start. I just want to wander around and never leave!

@SprintF
Free roam Ponyville RPG? I live as whatever pony I want and just go day by day? Thing I would let myself go weeks without sleep to continue playing even while my pony was asleep?

Just... just take my money already.

Definitely make it modable if its not too much work. I know how to mod some games and I'd mod the heck out of this if I could.

Jebin Zedalu said...

...Oh, my. That looks beautiful.

"Yes, as some might have noticed, in the game will be a nights and days system. This will be not only an enjoyable addition, but have a great effect on gameplay - at night evil will be stronger. Some locations and things we will be able to do might change depending on the time of day."

WHAT A
HORRIBLE
NIGHT TO
HAVE A
CURSE.

"at night evil will be stronger"

First thing that came to my mind was WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO HAVE A CURSE.

Sony/nintendo why you no make pony game D:

Suffuri said...

Well! Seems dang impressive. Don't know if you read these comments, but what will the target computer specs be for this game? Graphics card, Ram requirements, etc...

Wait, this is the SAME guy as the Pinkie demo???

Namefag Anon said...

that screenshot is looking tight

mizu-takishima said...

Hmm, something tells me that the person who made the Pinkie Demo isn't the same person working on THIS game. I could be wrong, though.

Byrpheros said...

Correction: Pinkie Pie demo was made by someone else, not by me. I'm not Awesomedreamcoder.

Cloud Kicker said...

This looks awesome
i hope it's going to be a game.

mizu-takishima said...

@Byrpheros: Omg I knew it!! Still, good luck with your game! I'm sure you're doing a great job! :D

....I miss Awesoemdreamcoder though ; o ;

Unknown said...

Bypheros, hiring any help?

Madnath said...

Keep your eyes open, you haven't seen the last of our interviews with big members of the community.

Sotha said...

This is looking cool. I anticipate the news of further development. Definitely try to make it modable and accessible.

Coming from a TES fan, modability is the life-blood of these types of games, and as it is in this community, I have no doubt we would see some amazing things, if you are able to allow them to happen.

WritersBlah said...

Whoa...I thought the only cool pony game being made was Fighting is Magic...I love being a brony!

octo said...

Though I like the idea of pony games, something, just SOMETHING about this one makes me cringe and makes me feel like it won't end well, anyone else have that feeling?

If only Bioware got hold of this plot...
