Battle Gem Ponies 1 Year Later...
http://rainbowdash.net/url/876219
Check out this video about the development journey so far and the upcoming changes to how we do things here at YotesMark
If you're in a rush, the short summary is that the game won't be out for another 12-16 months, the merch store is closing in October so if you want extra shirts better grab 'em now, the physical Kickstarter rewards will start going out in October (excluding all the stuff that won't come 'til release), and we have far reaching plans to make Battle Gem Ponies a full-fledged series when this is all said and done.
We're looking forward to all the updates to come over the next year and are eternally grateful for every backer's help in making it possible. http://rainbowdash.net/url/876220Saturday, 10-Sep-22 05:58:35 UTC from web -

I spoiled myself with a game treat and bought the game Tunic. It's a fine game. It is a cross between Zelda and Dark Souls. I had quite some fun but oh boy it is hard. Thankfully there is an accessibility option to make it easy. I used it only two times because my thumbs were already hurting enough and I didn't want to start a boss fight 100 times over. It is best to get into the game blind. I do admit that I looked up stuff at the end of the game because the puzzles to get the true ending are hard as heck and I have a life beyond that game.

@scribus It looks damn good but I'm not really in a mood for a brawler. Back in the day I played more Power Rangers The Movie on SNES because I didn't have Turtles in Time (only played as a rental at a friend's house).

Derp? On April Fool's?
Meet Derpzee. This pony is very clumsy, but has great potential. Think of her as a mix between Derpy from MLP, and Slaking or Magikarp from Pokemon because that's what I thought of when designing her. http://rainbowdash.net/url/836399Friday, 01-Apr-16 04:37:05 UTC from web -
Here's a vid on how we figured out the math behind making combat work. (was trickier than you'd think) http://rainbowdash.net/url/876041 http://rainbowdash.net/url/876042

The Battle Gem Ponies Combat Demo
Our first public upload in 3 or 4 years after starting this entire project over after tragically losing every project file for the 2017 build. Since then this game has gone from a solo-indie project to a team-powered labor of love and it's looking all the better for it!
Go ahead and give it a try! http://rainbowdash.net/url/835730 http://rainbowdash.net/url/875927Saturday, 05-Jun-21 19:53:33 UTC from web -
Ohhh, it's coming... FINALLY after months of delays, the Combat Demo is nearly complete!
You'll be playing the new and improved Battle Gem Ponies within a week!
Come bask in the pre-launch hype with us on this month's gamedev Blog! ~Monday, 31-May-21 21:08:03 UTC from web -
the cyborg ninja from Metal Gear Solid is played by the same guy who played the Grim Reaper in The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, which is just a little goofy if you ask me.

@scribus He does not, but that actor, Greg Eagles, ALSO voices the DARPA Chief in that same game, and another character in the sequel, and both of them basically sound like what I imagine Grim would sound like without the accent.

Got some awesome overworld footage of the game right here. You can capture the Fluttershy-inspired bee-pony Shyshock in the tall grass of Pinto Island! http://rainbowdash.net/url/875919 http://rainbowdash.net/url/875920

Feeling pretty good about how Battle Gem Ponies is coming along since last posting here. Got an all-new dev team helping this time around and I think we can pull off something special with this RPG. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875917 http://rainbowdash.net/url/875918

Playing Metal Gear Solid again... I bodyslammed Meryl while she was disguised because I recognized her walk cycle and I wanted to see what would happen. Nothing happens, she just sprints into her next cutscene to prevent you from impeding her any further. And then she still claims to have gotten the jump on you.

@scribus This is why I always enjoyed the mostly-unscripted nature of the later Fallouts & Elder Scrolls. New Vegas particularly introduces you to a major antagonist (or ally, if you choose to go that route...) fairly early on, while you’re on your way to a story quest, and you can just let him do his thing, or, if you have the firepower, you can just FrankerZin shoot him and he won’t appear again for the rest of the game. (And then you can shoot his replacement later, too!)

@scribus So a 'All Summer Long' to 'Sweet Home Alabama' or more of a 'Ice Ice Baby' to 'Under Pressure' kinda thing ?

Debating $55 on NES homebrew hardware, or like $130 on an Everdrive !vgp

@adiwan "expensive to buy" . Never write something right after waking up before doing anything else.

@adiwan This here: http://www.infiniteneslives.com/nesmaker.php They have a kit with a board, cartridge shell, and the flasher-device-thing, and it's supposed to be basically a one-button procedure with the NESMaker software. I'm sure I'll end up with both devices, anyway. Haha Just trying to decide for today. Probably will end up putting it off until I have a job again...
-
@scribus I'd get an Everdrive first because it seems to be a more versatile tool. I read that there is an unofficial firmware for the Everdrive that supports the mapper of NESMaker games.
