The Crystal Empire Castle (a.k.a. Why It Took Me So Long...)


Sorry for the long wait. I just needed the time and motivation to create the entire Crystal Empire by piecing together images from the show until I had enough angles to get a full shot of the castle. I then resized it so it fit the map and looked accurate. The next step was tracing over the image to make it “crystal” clear instead of blurry. Finally, I had to split it up into 3 tilesets since it’s so big which meant I had to make sure it was all aligned properly. This all took me about 15 straight hours and I think it turned out nicely ^_^

New DEV LOG available in the media banner on the game page.

The PIE SISTERS are now complete! Expect one to join at the start of CHAPTER 2!

Currently tracing the Ponyville houses so I can give each resident a house whose colors match their own color scheme giving the player some sort of hint as to who lives there.

v0.9.1 officially launched with Spike's addition.

Preparing a CHAPTER 1 build right now. Just gotta wait for the game to compress.

I updated the Pie Sisters' sprites including Pinkamena. Next up is Maud.

OUT NOW!!!

v0.10.1 released with the following fixes:

- Added Zecora's missing image that caused the game to crash when freeing her.

- The duplicates in Cloudsdale have been removed.

- Twilight's dialogue when investigating Shy's cottage no longer goes off-screen.

Here's Zecora's hut from the outside. May seem a little half-"flanked" but I didn't feel like drawing her tree, so I used the image from the GameLoft mobile game :P

Development has resumed. For how long, I'm not quite sure, but I just finished Zecora's hut. /)
