Luckily, Battle Gem Ponies will (likely) not be affected by the new Unity Tax over the next couple of years. Giving us time to see how things play out. ๐Ÿฟ

This week we're going map-by-map and setting up all the crazy things that happen. Then we end each day with a quick playtest of the new areas and take some notes on improvements to make first-thing the next morning. #screenshotsaturday

There are SO many ponies in this Professor intro cutscene ๐Ÿ˜‚ #screenshotsaturday

We really wanted to show off the variety during the first impression and introduction to the world of #BattleGemPonies! ๐Ÿด๐Ÿ’Ž

REJOICE! For all Saved Files shall now survive the approaching update... โ˜๏ธโžก๏ธ๐Ÿ“ฆ Basically, we coded a thing so nobody's save data gets scrapped or corrupted when the DLCs drop. #UnityDev #gamedev #debug

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.)

I know we didn't exactly nail it design-wise, so it's cluttered, but it works. Plan is to reimagine the whole thing from scratch for DX. #gamedev #userinterface #UIDesign #uiuxdesign #unity

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.

How did we EVER get this far without using a hi-res vertical monitor? Royal really sold me on the concept for #gamedev & #unityengine

Experimenting with Lighting illusions using Tilemap layers. ๐Ÿ’ก#gamedev #pixelart #madewithunity

Gives the city a cool night life vibe that takes me back to Pokรฉmon Gold & Silver...

Well, this household certainly got a little prettier over time. ๐Ÿต (The Haze House of Jade Pass) #BattleGemPonies #gamedev #pixelart

We made a scene validator tool today that tells us exactly which NPCs are misbehaving and how to fix them. #madewithunity
