Game: Persona: Pony



Another crazy looking point and click adventure pony game is under way, this one taking a stance from the Persona series. Fans of the games will probably find something neat here! Everyone else gets to talk to ponies! It's a win-win for the WORLD!

Video after the break.

Another pony game? Yes please.

Sunset Sprinkles said...

!(◎_◎;) Ponysona....yes....

DPV111 said...

Ooooooh. Talk to ponies you say?

RanYakumo said...

An adventure game? Sorry, but that's kind of a letdown in a way. If you're going to make a Ponysona game, you should go all the way.

Cyanide said...

Ooh, Persona.

Waiting for ANY of these big game projects to come to fruition, though...

@RanYakumo

Making even small games is extremley difficult. "Going all out" would take years for a game in the style of persona.

Speaking of which, still seeking artistic help:

The game that inspired the essay that got me into a college? The show that quickly consumed my life/wallet? Together? This pleases me.

Rept7 said...

Can't wait to see this be created, hopefully they can pull this off.

@RanYakumo
On my deviantART I talk about the reason why, but the main thing being that at the moment I'm working on the programming myself and the engine I'm using is built for visual novels.

If I were to make a battle system, especially for one as complex as Persona's with it's switching persona's mid battle, analysis system, and the entire persona fusion system that comes along with it, it would be very difficult to build along with having to worry about stat, level, and persona balancing which I'd have to do myself.

I made a simple menu based ATB battle system before and that took me at least a quarter of a year to build and plan out. I don't even know how long it'd take me to build and then integrate the Persona battle system into my game, but I'd guess it'd take a very long time.

PinkiePie said...

Wha-What, but... I was going to make a Persona/MLP crossover game! Though, it would be after my MLA webseries, and Avatar/MLP webseries...

Thar said...

this makes me want to play persona, except I don't have a PS controller, even if i downloaded an emulator :(

ftfc said...

SQUEEEEEEE!!!! OMC OMC OMC OMC!!!

Persona said...

I didn't take my name from this game. But regardless, this makes me happy.

Infusions said...

DUDE.... Above my shelf of all-MLP merch, is my all Persona merch! I love persona! AWESOME!

TAKE ALL OF MY BUCKING BITS, EVERY SINGLE LUNA-DAMNED BIT!

In the immortal words of Tara Strong: "Anyone who says 'win-win' is 'lame-lame'." I might be paraphrasing a bit, though.

@Fallin' Winter
Half of me is telling me to go code this for you and the other half is telling me to take a nap because I'm lazy

I'M SO CONFLICTED.

Fallin' Winter said...

@Jaberwocky
Currently I'm still working with the storyline and day schedule planning so I'm not really looking into recruiting people yet, so don't worry about it too much.

The other thing being that not only will it need to be coded, but making each Persona, their fusion combinations, stats, levels, experience to next level, how much exp enemies give, etc. would be an awful lot of playtesting and planning on top of building the story itself.

Added to this which reminded me, I'd also have to plan and make randomly generated floors for characters to explore and level themselves. I don't even know where to begin with something like that.

I haven't written it off completely, but to do so would be an even larger undertaking and I don't want to overdo it and then be unable to finish at all.

BunkieBunny said...

Persona and pony? Yes please!

GuerreroPerdido said...

Have any of the games been actually finished and opened for the community to play?

I mean, we have:
Fighting is Magic
Pony Kart
Some detective looking pony game I forget the name of,
Some pony online world I also forgot the name of.

I just haven't seen any results.

Cola said...

Just wanted to point out in the script it seems to skip around between the names Sunny Day, Sunny Days and a couple times as Sunny Sky.

Otherwise seems interesting. I've been a fan of Persona for awhile now so I'll probably give it a shot when it's finished.

Tim said...

Persona and Ponies? TOGETHER?!
*Dies of happiness*

Fallin' Winter said...

@Cola
Yeah, it's been pointed out a few times already. It's supposed to be Sunny Sky, but I somehow missed that. My bad. "I just don't know what went wrong!"

noc said...

WOW. out of all the fan games that came out, I WANT TO PLAY THIS ONE AND THIS ONE ONLY... because of i like persona 3 and 4... yeah.

Asylum said...

Jeez was anthology that good that Lyra will now forever be related to a pony searching for humans? Because if so, it just got knocked up few rungs on my fan fiction list of things to read.

neil said...

all my dreams are coming true

Fallin' Winter said...

@Asylum
I just thought it was a funny concept. I like picking and inserting certain other personalities build from the other pictures and stories from the community. For example, if you see Vinyl or Octavia in my game they'll more than likely be heading 'The Vinyl Scratch' and you could expect them to be arguing with each other the whole time.

Da Beejees said...

@Fallin' Winter
What /is/ your deviantArt account, btw?

Fallin' Winter said...

It's in the description for the video too.

Da Beejees said...

@Fallin' Winter
Thank you. I didn't see it in the description because I watched the embed one on this page.

MrMusicalPony said...

Because Persona by itself wasn't bad.

Maxis Lithium said...

Oooo.. That looks like it'll work well. really well actually. Going to follow this one. Defiantly something I can see myself donating to to get it finished.

RanYakumo said...

@Beta-Carotene

Well, obviously. But IMO, in a case like this, the effort would be worth it.

@Fallin' Winter

Fair enough. But you should still totally try it out someday. :P

Bucky The Nonfictional Pony said...

I have no idea what "persona" is, but judging by the pony version, I assume its something that will overrun my life like an agressive addiction, Is this an accurate assumption?

Bootsa said...

Nice, I was just thinking something like this needs to happen.

RobbyTheChaotic said...

I would assume new character, letting the main character interact with the mane 6 in a pony-sona. still looking forward to it.

dpando9 said...

where can i play these games?

derp said...

Hopefully the persona battle system will be added, but of course the rich story of persona made the game so phenomenal.

Fallin' Winter said...

@dpando9
Check the video's description.

FlaschenJoe11 said...

I love Igor-Pony.
And the Mistery seems interesting.

shavedjudomonkeys said...

On the one hand, I'm thrilled there's going to be a Pony Persona game. On the other, my fanfic now seems kind of pointless. Ah well.

Twifight Sparkill said...

Persona and ponies! Seriously? My life just got 20% cooler! Without the obvious reference!

Kyronea said...

THERE'S A DEMO?!

I'm not even going to watch the video. I don't want spoilers. I'm just going to download the demo and play the ever loving horseapples out of it.

Tundra said...

My gosh.
I was just watching a walkthrough of Persona 4.
How do these websites read my mind?

Mikomisama said...

--> is happy now <--

Shippoyasha said...

I am for this project all the way! I love the graphic novel approach. I agree making it an RPG would be too big an undertaking

Alec said...

I give every yes to this...
