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!

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.

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.)

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

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

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.

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

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

Glad to have this huge game feel update out into the world, and looking forward to something even more awesome next month! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t72GJMzvtKg
