tonyyotes: *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/876220

tonyyotes: @nerthos For me, programming is a means to an end. If I could get the same work done with just menus, drag&drop, and sliders, I'd prefer it. My favorite things about Unity are the plugins and editor.

tonyyotes: Battle Gem Ponies has a whole new look! Or at least some new tiles anyway. The game feels more real without the placeholders. I also might be attending FillyCon in Philadelphia this August. Might as well if I'm in the area that month. A lot of this week was spent doing marketing stuff. All the big prep before the big Demo 5 release. http://rainbowdash.net/url/836874

tonyyotes: @scribus I just started getting into them. I think half the fun is who you play them with. With my group of friends it's pretty perfect since we're all near the same level on everything we try and we focus more on fun moments than just winning.
