Interesting News, Mr. Bowser 📰#Nintendo

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

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

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.)

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.

In the #BattleGemPonies Arrival Story, Alpha ponies will appear after you've caught their base form. Come back to these same spots in the postgame and you may find new Alphas of the other local species in the area.

(As well as Alphas of the 3 starters...)

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

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

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.
