Here's a mysterious bug that's persisted for years. Gotta figure out what tells the Tsunami particle effect to bounce off enemies like that. And why it only happens SOMETIMES. 🌊

(No other special move particle effect has this quirk.)

One of the most common lower level Status attacks in #BattleGemPonies is Death Glare.

It's pretty powerful too, especially early on when stats are all small numbers and GP is most precious. #pokemon #mlp #rpg

I know we didn't exactly nail it design-wise, so it's cluttered, but it works. Plan is to reimagine the whole thing from scratch for DX. #gamedev #userinterface #UIDesign #uiuxdesign #unity

Moves like Wonder Bolt here are an example of the 2010s brony era DNA embedded into this game. ⚡

We made a scene validator tool today that tells us exactly which NPCs are misbehaving and how to fix them. #madewithunity

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.

#BattleGemPonies is gaining new features fast, but we really need to test them more because softlocks and crashes are way too abundant.

Putting your opponent to sleep is a dirty trick, but an effective one.🥱😴

#BattleGemPonies Acts 1-3 are all meant to release this year, each one 10 weeks apart. (Let's see how that goes!)

Well, this household certainly got a little prettier over time. 🍵 (The Haze House of Jade Pass) #BattleGemPonies #gamedev #pixelart
