    Canterlot Gardens Press Release


    Got some fresh copypasta right here for you. Just finished cooking it all nice and al-dente, and I'm gently drizzling sauce and... i'll stop.

    Canterlot Gardens!? Pixelkitties!? PMV contest!? Oh yes! Sept 28th-30th, Ohio! Also, did we mention contests?
    First off, we're happy to announce that the well-known Pixelkitties will be one of the many artists in attendance at Canterlot Gardens this September!
    Second, our first contest! Yep, it's a PMV contest. More information, and official rules, can be found here. Here's the low down:
    Submissions must be at least 1 minute and 30 seconds long, and no longer than 6 minutes. Personal intros/branding are optional, and must not be longer than 15 seconds. No personal outros. All footage used within the PMV must be from the official My Little Pony series. PMV submissions will be screened by our staff to ensure that the content qualifies for our convention's PG rating. PMV submissions can be sent to submissions@canterlotgardens.com with a deadline of August 20th. The top 10 qualifying PMV's will premier at the convention! From there, the staff (and special guests) will vote on the top 5 videos, and you, the attendees, will get to vote on the best amongst the top 5! All top 10 submissions will receive posters, while the top 5 winners will receive t-shirts. Grand prizes for the top 3 submissions are soon to be announced!

    Equestria Daily: The Game now on iOS


    Cereal has his own game. And now it's on iOS. AND HE'S MAKING ME POST IT.

    Here. J-just TAKE your copypasta.

    I am here to inform you that, after an ENTIRE MONTH of review with Apple's super speedy review process, Equestria Daily: the Game is now on iOS! 


    But that's sort of half of it. AirGlow Labs is also planning on becoming an actual somewhat professional indie game maker people for other people. That means Flash is lame and we'll go to Unity 3D. But the problem is, Unity for mobile is pretty expensive, very expensive actually! Since we would like the pro version of that to make it better for everypony, so it totals to around $2500, to look nice. We have no source of income right now, so we really need this money to get "kickstarted"

    So we have kickstarter to help us:

    It would be the bestest, most fantabulous thing in the world if you could help us on this. Me, and the rest of my team feel video game making is the most fun thing ever. At the same time we entertain and make them smile! We want to make all sorts of games, not just MLP, but we'll will also continue to make pony games, all of which will be for free!! Games ranging from mobile, to desktop, from extremely long adventure games, to simple casual randomness, we want to create it all. So any help on this would really change our lives for the better, I know you bronies can make it happen.

    Mexican Pony Petition

    Apparently, a Mexican TV channel is having a poll about what shows they're going to show next year, and we all need to charge and vote ponies so all the Mexican bronies can get their HD ponies and so many words ending in -y and -ie sounds aaaaa

    Poll here!
