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.

It's an interesting challenge getting ponies of varied size to fit onscreen together. #gamedevelopment

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.)

Joyance is Here to Welcome the New Year! 🥳

#BattleGemPonies #HappyNewYear2026

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.

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

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

Dreamy Rainbow 3D - Episode 4 Announcement

Following up on my previous updates, I am also sharing a video featuring short gameplay clips to show the current progress.

Every attack in #BattleGemPonies is made up of a series of particle effects. ✨

This ones a spinning glob being lobbed!
