The first public demo since the Kickstarter's launch is arriving on August 25th! Until then, our backers and patrons get to play around with the new features we've been adding over the past year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maErKsKlsZg

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 #HappyNewYear2026

The beefiest update yet, and we're still not finished! More demos to come by year's end! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-tsNPJW7Y0

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

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.)

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.)

We're excited to present the 2022 FREE public build of BGP to the world! We want this game to be played and seen by as many people as possible so every share goes a long way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcUN3EMbsXc

We made a big OOF and pushed out a build missing the extremely VITAL ability to swap out your newly caught ponies with the Gem Storage system in Town Hall!

So we patched that up just now and you can download the fixed 0.5.5 build on Itch and GameJolt!
