  1. !equestriagaming Apparently Lab Zero Games will give Mane Six the Skullgirls engine if their Indiegogo campaign reaches $750,000. Pretty sweet, eh? http://www.equestriagaming.com/2013/03/mane-6-may-use-skullgirlss-engine.html

    1. @equestriagaming IMO it really seems to be pushing it to ask people to raise $750k in twelve days for a pony fangame. (But that's just me.)

      1. @redenchilada It's not exactly a My Little Pony fangame anymore (even if it does have Lauren Faust at the helm), although it might still feature ponies designed by Lauren herself.

        1. @equestriagaming It's developed its community around "being a pony fangame", though, even though it isn't any more. And I honestly think the change has (unfortunately) decreased the size of said community, making it even less likely that they can come up with the funds in time. I do realize there's also the actual Skullgirls community to put money in toward that (because their campaign just needs to reach the goal - the Mane6 community itself doesn't have to raise all of that) but... I personally wouldn't hold out hope.

          1. @redenchilada it's funny that the project went from my favorite ip to my least favorite ip in record time

            1. @publictimeline @redenchilada So basically you aren't interested in their project just because it doesn't include ponies? Have some faith in the developers, mate.

              1. @equestriagaming I think their point is something like "If I wanted to play a fighting game that didn't have ponies, I'd play one of the numerous, professionally produced games that are out right now." That's my guess anyway.

                1. @ceruleanspark I guess I can see your point...still, I'm more donating because of Skullgirls's impressive engine rather than the game itself. Per pixel lighting for 2D sprites is no small feat, you know...I don't think there are any other engines that even have that!

              2. @equestriagaming I heavily dislike skullgirls. I refuse to drink the kool-aid.

                1. @publictimeline I like Skullgirls overall, but to me it seems like the creators were a bit too concerned with fanservice...

                  1. @equestriagaming they should be happy they're getting fanservice in the first place. I was hopinh Lauren faust would be teaming up with Mane6 to do something *original*

                    1. @publictimeline And they are doing something original; they're just using Skullgirls's engine. Do you even know what a game engine is, bro?

                      1. @equestriagaming I originally responded to the RUMOR of the skullgirls IP being also used in addition to the engine. I know what an engine is. But the question is, do you make sure you understand the context of statements before you jump on someone with comments like that?

                        1. @publictimeline ...Do you?

                          1. @redenchilada now that I think about it, I am most guilty of ignoring context and jumping in. At least, on this site.

              3. @equestriagaming ...Honestly, yes. I'm not a fighting game kind of person; I was barely interested even when ponies were involved.
