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

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

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

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.

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

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.)

Here's 2 mins of pure Battle Gem Ponies Gameplay: 🌟

#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
