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

In the #BattleGemPonies Arrival Story, Alpha ponies will appear after you've caught their base form. Come back to these same spots in the postgame and you may find new Alphas of the other local species in the area.

(As well as Alphas of the 3 starters...)

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

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

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

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

Here's a mysterious bug that's persisted for years. Gotta figure out what tells the Tsunami particle effect to bounce off enemies like that. And why it only happens SOMETIMES. 🌊

(No other special move particle effect has this quirk.)

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

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.

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