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

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

This ones a spinning glob being lobbed!

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.)

Joyance is Here to Welcome the New Year! 🥳

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. ⚡

The same attack can come in different colors depending on the pony using it. #pixelart #animation #mlp #indiegamedev

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.)

#BattleGemPonies Acts 1-3 are all meant to release this year, each one 10 weeks apart. (Let's see how that goes!)
