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.

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.)

Oh ya I finished the doodle btw

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! :>

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