    1. The running speed is slightly too fast, but other than that I have no complaints. The music sounds great, the game seems to run fluidly. I'm stoked.

    5. I think he does it to scare the locals and keep us on our toes; "One update per hour my left hoof!" he'll have us saying.

      Getting back on topic, note to self: when Pony MMO REALLY HAPPENS, run around Applejack's barn for the first hour of playing.

    7. Neat! The stand, walk, and run animations all look great - and they blend well when going from a dead stop to a run, and back again.

      1. I now know that albino ponies creep me out.
      2. Are you sure that's Applejack standing out in front of the barn and not Fluttershy? I tried talking to her but all I could get outta her was a "..." :P

    9. At first, I thought it was just a video, so I sat there for 30 seconds or so listening to the music, waiting to see what the little pony was going to do. Then I saw that I COULD MOVE IT AROUND MYSELF! And then, there was joy. Much, much, joy.

      I agree with the run speed being a bit too fast, especially when you factor in that there might be many ponies all running around in the same area at the same time. Other than that, no complaints. It's another step forward to being able play this for real, and having updates like this keeps me quite happy.

      Bravo, game designers, BRAVO!!!

    12. Superb for a start.

      The game designer in me wants to supervise the core gameplay and production. The sane person in me says I'm an idiot.

    13. This is looking better and better all the time, a real labour of love. The animations look just fine to me, too. Really smooth. This is impressive because this is of a higher quality than I've seen in a lot of freeware/open source games. So congratulations are in order on that count, I think!

    14. imagine an MMORPG made out of this

      ReplyDelete
    15. @Anonymous Well, that's the idea, silly ;)

      and not enough win in the world. Professional development teams dont work this fast. Many and lots of gratz are needed for this. Pinkie Pie will break through reality to personally congratulate the developers of this when they are done, I predict.

      Or, at the very least, lots of bronies will declare them deities.

    16. how is the pony RPG supposed to work? is it going to be like a community thing, with many pony users online at the same time on the same map, or is it going to be a single player game?

      ReplyDelete
    17. Its going to be a Living Online game you can chat with other players do activities together meet the Staff and Main characters, help with tasks/quests do jobs like apple bucking, baking, dress making and more

    18. @Urimas Ebonheart

      that sounds amazing. Who plays the main characters, and would we be able to customize our own pony avatars?

    19. @Anonymous

      The staff will take the roll of a main character for GM runned events/quests

      and yes a good customization system to

    20. yes much better we plan to have hue control allowing players to pick the colour they want, accessories/clothes are bought/earned ingame, we'll have a much more variety or manes/tails, eye shape and colour so yeah this will be more then the hub version :P
