We had ComradeSparkle from the EQD Discord ask a few more questions about what all we missed with G5 over at Trotcon, and it's pretty sad how extensive things might have been if it kept going.
This is a bit wordy, so find it all below!
Expanding on the Bat Pony Land fromk before, apparently each pony was going to travel to a different "creature" land to powerup magic necklaces, and for bats in particular it was planned to have Misty visit them. They didn't detail what all she'd get into while there, but that would have been a cute interaction for sure.
This all was going to start with Dragons and work through different side races. No kirin were planned though. Poor Kirin... They did say most of these were going to be pony-based races strictly due to the limits of having to create 3D assets. That complicates everything and is why G.M. Berrow originally wanted to go with 2D.
Apparently all of Make Your Mark season 2 was outlined, but things were canned in March of 2023, so everything was handed over to the Tell Your Tale team to do what they could with it over the shorts and specials. Basically we lost half of the planned MYM content from the cancelling.
The Tell Your Tale Team and Make Your Mark team exchanged ideas to keep things cohesive over coffee meetings essentially, which is how some characters like Senor Butterscotch appeared in MYM.
And finally, they had plans to do an Equestria Girls style thing with humanized ponies, but under a new name. Obviously we never even got a hint of that one on our end, but I wonder where they would have gone with it?
Anyway, that about covers it! If any other news arrives, I'll get another post up as always.
