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

This ones a spinning glob being lobbed!

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

Getting particle systems like this to work was surprisingly tricky. Especially when it came to making it all flip properly when the opposite combatant uses the same attack.

I’ve never drawn mlp fanart but that show was literally my favorite growing up so I drew my fav character queen chrysalis

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.)

Felt down, so I drew Pinkie Pie. (ignore that the shading makes no sense) Happy 2026 y'all! Here's to another year of art! :>

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.)

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.

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