REJOICE! For all Saved Files shall now survive the approaching update... ☁️➡️📦 Basically, we coded a thing so nobody's save data gets scrapped or corrupted when the DLCs drop. #UnityDev #gamedev #debug

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

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

#BattleGemPonies is gaining new features fast, but we really need to test them more because softlocks and crashes are way too abundant.

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

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

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

You can hardly tell in pictures, but these monitors have completely different color settings and it changes the feel of the Peridot Woods map so much it's crazy. 🌳

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.

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