    Brony Design in Video Game


    Hello

    My name is Aukje and I am a 3D artist at Vertigo Games, an independent game studio that is developing a huge underwater exploration game "World of Diving."

    We are very lucky to have a brimming community that actively contributes and helps us develop this game on http://www.divegame.net.

    Our all-time #1 member is Equestria Daily's own Sgt_Brony, who is having our art team design his own Shipwreck, inspired by the My Little Pony series. The ship design is almost completed, but we're not entirely sure about its colors yet. That's why Sgt_Brony suggested we ask the Equestria Daily community for input to help finish his ship. The end result is going to end up in the actual game, to be explored and enjoyed by our enthusiastic players.

    Here is how you can participate:

    1) Download the .png file below and open it in a program like Photoshop that supports the use of layers. http://i.imgur.com/VK6kUli.png
    2) Add a new layer to the file, and make sure that the original layer containing the line-art stays on top.
    3) Apply the colors of your choice on the newly added layer to color behind the line-art ;)
    4) Submit your work to the Sgt_Brony_Shipwreck thread on the World of Diving forums: http://divegame.net/node/39086

    To find out more about the ship, and see some render images of it.
    http://divegame.net/comment/9014.

    You will need to sign-up for a free account to be able to post on the World of Diving forums. Alternatively, you can send your work to my e-mail address: a.feenstra.kuiper@gmail.com and I will post it for you. Please be sure to include your name and/or username if you would like us to mention your contribution.

    Please note:

    The ship mustn't be too pink or purple.
    It should be rather realistic, fitting of the real world.
    Because of copyright reasons, please refrain from using the color schemes used in the MLP TV series.

    GOOD LUCK!

    Best regards,

    Aukje



    Ponified Minesweeper for Android


    It's fresh out of the exporter and is currently cooling off in Google play. I can only get it onto android because Apple says I need to buy a Mac before I'm allowed to make iOS games..
    It's still a ponyfied version of minesweeper, nothing different, except I fixed a lot of bugs and removed stuff that didn't really work.
    It can also still be accessed in most browsers for those without an android.
