Slaughter Horse 2 (aka Pinkamena 2)

Saturday update


Hello horse-slayers. Just a quick check-in as I haven't posted for a couple of weeks, but I've still been busy! There isn't much new to post screenshot-wise as I've mostly been working on debugging and playtesting. It's all about adding atmosphere and enriching the experience now, with all the random events, murder descriptions etc.

This game has so much more going on than Slaughter Horse 1 did that the first game feels like an absolute breeze in comparison - so much so, that once I've released SH2, I'm strongly considering doing a Slaughter Horse Redux - the first game modernised. I may even make it a free game on Steam and Android to help promote this one, but I'm not a frog and you're not a bunny, so let's not jump ahead.

We're still looking at an August release (probably nearer the end of August than now) - that is to say, this very month. There's still a bit to do, but I have a week off from Thursday so my intention is to use my week off to concentrate solely on SH2 and get it release-ready.

  • Playtesters wanted!

    Steam has granted me some pre-release keys. How these work is by allowing people with the key to download and test the game before it has actually been officially released. Originally I was going to put an HTML5 version on Gamejolt but that probably wouldn't work too well. Instead, if you'd like to help me out by playtesting a pre-release version sometime in the near future please add a comment to this post. I'll get back to you with a key once a pre-release version is ready! You get a free copy of the game (thanks for following development all this time) and all I ask in return is you try and break it as hard as you can and report back!

If you've a mind to try making games, the software I use (AppGameKit Studio) is currently 75% off on Steam. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1024640/AppGameKit_Studio/ It's a form of BASIC and rather old school. There is no drag and drop - you type out all the code. Example attached!

Slaughter Horse 2 continues development, not ready soon as I hoped but getting there! If you'd like to stay really abreast of it, please join the Discord server at https://t.co/M7YD1ZsOMT Screenshots: The Preacher's church and your cloak in progress.

Vivian and Amy are the playable protagonists of Fear the Spotlight!

Vivian plans to give Amy a love letter if they survive the night which places their queer love story at the center of the game.

Thursday Update

Ellie is the central character of The Last of Us series. According to GLAAD, she's the first lesbian to ever headline a AAA game! When she comes out to Joel, he supports her and even defends her from a homophobe.

I was asked if there was a Slaughter Horse Discord server, which there wasn't. But it's a good idea, so now there is. Feel free to join! https://discord.gg/huKsJnmzCV
