Super Lesbian Horse RPG Demo

Windows Demo/Mac Demo

 Everybody loves shipping for some reason. I'm not entirely sure why that is, but some weirdo named Bobby Schroeder decided to make a silly RPG centered around the magic of shipping. Lo and behold, everybody thought he was bloody brilliant, and now he's made such splendid progress that his game actually has a demo (with a Mac port). Most fangames, even the ones assembled by big teams, don't make nearly as much progress as Bob has in this short period; in my opinion, he deserves a reward. Somebody go buy him a horse or something to make him feel good.

My thoughts on this lesbian horse preview thing are after the break.

Nightfall Gameplay Footage

Nightfall

 A couple days ago the folks over at Silly Mare Games (creators of Stroll and Harmony PCG) started working on another fangame they call "Nightfall", and from the released gameplay footage it appears to be some kind of sidescrolling strategy game. As this game is still in early development the final product is probably going to be quite different from the preview here, which is probably a good thing because in my opinion it looked a tad dull. The stock sprites probably have something to do with it, and the background looked a bit too bright for a game of this sort. After all, shouldn't a game called "Nightfall" look sort of dark? Not dark as in "the forces of darkness", mind you (although the team certainly could go in that direction), but more "it was a dark and stormy night".

 Also, Zeeraw still hasn't released the Cloudsdale developer portal. Get to it, man! It's really going to come in handy with this redesign of the Arcade...

Shattered Limits

Play Shattered Limits

Just now, I'll bet you were sitting there, all blue, waiting for some high-speed, log-jumping, boulder-evading, Temple-Run-style 3D pony action. If you weren't, you should have been. Regardless, that's what you get.

Shattered Limits is a simple, addictive dodge-the-obstacle type game set in an endless world of boulders, thorns, and other obstacles. Run your customizable pony avatar until he or she drops, and then do it again, and again, and again...

The download's a little slow, but the game's worth your while! Have at it.

Fallout Equestria RPG Trailer

It has been quite the day for 3D RPGs we haven't heard from in a while! The Fallout Equestria RPG team has released a new update video, displaying the features they've been working on over the last few months. 

Notable among the new developments are day/night cycling, a full character statistics, inventory, and skills system, and the ability to outline complex paths for your character during combat. Hopefully, we'll get a demo or release date in the near future!

At long last, a playable release from the developer of Pony Craft: Tainted Skies! For those not yet in the know, Pony Craft is a project designed to combine two genres: RTS and RPG (also, pony.) More after the break!

Princess Civilization

Princess Civilization

 So far this month has been rather slow for fangame-related news, as most of us have been busy preparing for our final exams and whatnot. Thankfully it appears that a few developers have been able to sneak in some time for development; for example, some guy named Petr Hudecek is getting close to completing his Princess Civilization game, but needs voice actors for Spike and Princess Celestia before he can do so. In my opinion he could probably use some better spriters too, because frankly the terrain looks awful. Gameplay should come before graphics, yes, but your average gamer tends to notice a game's art first and will make their decision on whether to play it or not based on how appealing its graphics are.

 Interested in helping Petr out with his project? Check out his design document over at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PEARgE6fq206J_9PI9NmxRx1qJ6VePRwuJ6rs4M1xY8/edit, and then you can send him an email over at petrhudecek2010@gmail.com.

RPG Maker VX: War of Harmony Demo and MLP Starting Pack

Ahhh, RPG Maker VX. As an easy framework for creating Pony RPGs, it's spawned its fair share of poorly conceived games. Fortunately, the degree to which custom scripting and development is possible has allowed the development of several outstanding projects as well!

Regardless, RPG Maker is still a great engine for new developers to experiment with. Today, we have a starting resource pack and the demo for the upcoming project War of Harmony Part 4 below the break!
