Getting particle systems like this to work was surprisingly tricky. Especially when it came to making it all flip properly when the opposite combatant uses the same attack.

Each pony has DOZENS of expressive animations. That's why it takes so long to get each one from single concept sprite to finished in-game. (Aseprite's the tool used to get these pixels moving around so nicely.)

Apologies for the delay. But unforeseen life events have delayed the release of BGP's Alpha1 release by a couple days.

Got a whole handful of features done today. It's really nice when our second programmer soars overseas to us and we get to go HAM all weekend on the project. Feels like a real indie studio with the three of us giving it our all in the same room.

A new quest celebrating Dead Pets Unleashed just entered your quest log!

Dead Pets Unleashed is a rock feminist adventure where you play as a demon named Gordy (the bassist of the punk band Dead Pets.)

It was important for us to have multiple save files per game.

One for a first playthrough.

One for experiments and self-imposed challenges.

One for letting someone else play without messing up your main file.

The same attack can come in different colors depending on the pony using it. #pixelart #animation #mlp #indiegamedev

You'll end up battling in all sorts of locations across Pinto. We made special battle scene backgrounds for each one. (These backgrounds will also appear as your current location on the File Select screen.)
