Original Art by The Zap Apple Project I bet you were expecting some major catastrophe. Don't pretend, it's obvious. I tell the world that things have been pretty good this week and I can bet you thought I was covering some major disaster up. Nope! Only terrible tragedy is how no pony's nominated me for anything yet. *sniff, wide eyes, quivering lip* Aaaaaaanyway, we got games, we have merch and we've got the overwhelming message that things are going kinda peachy. Sooo...What have we got for you? In this mighty heap of Chrome tabs. Everypony Created Game that you can contribute to! Ah, that intrepid Eight Star. Not only does he decide that making his own table-top RPG was a good idea, but now he's looking to make a little RPG out of the whole thing too! With help from as many of us as he possibly can, he reckons he'll have something pretty half-decent for us. It's rather sweet of him really. Oh! And you can nominate OC's to take the major roles of the game! Come here and throw a name into the hat! Bare in mind, Eight Star's game is set within an alternate universe so, no messing with head cannons or anything, kay? Oh and...Tyro for Mysterious Wanderer maaaaybe? A little abusive of my power? Yeah but I'm sure I'll pay for it when the older members start asking about the game I was meant to be working on... Other Pony Stuff Are your pony toys too static for you? Need more va-va-voom? Here you go: Motor-Ponies. These, for the collectors out there, are the same size as a brushable but come with an accessory and a little motorised cart for them to ride. Rainbow Dash comes with a dapper little hat. And Pinkie Pie...has...um...prepared for the Great Party Battle of '13. What else, what else?...Oh! Right! Do you like visual novels? I'm not fussed myself. I've been meaning look at Hatoful Boyfriend because I just have to, OK?! And the last text-heavy game to hold my attention had my character being ravaged by a large, well-endowed bee. It's not something I am naturally drawn to. This, however, looks worth trying. The Zap Apple Project has released a demo for the Visual Novel Welcome to Starswirl. Yeah, that's where we got this week's art. It's really nice although, it does confuse me why they're human. Was a Pony-filled visual novel damaging to their street cred or something? Did someone think the fantasy elements of Equestria Girls was ruining everything? Either way, you get to join Tom and Twilight on their first day at school. If you want happy, bright chats with Pony Lookalikes, this is for you! Umm...We're recording more Technical Difficulties. We're hoping to get our little show to you as quickly as we can. We've already started recording. We've tried to make Derry give a damn about Final Fantasy. It didn't work...We've also recruited Stormcloud into the show. So, if you liked the last two shows, I officially love you. New Episodes coming soon. Recommended Reading Umm...Would anyone like to see a Mini driving up a wall? Your loss, man! It's pretty weird. New York held a comic con. Apparently, Frost went and brought a camera along. If you would like to gaze longingly at merchandise and such, then Frost has you covered. You can see images from the trip: here, here, here and here. EPRP Aaand Finally! Eight Star will be running another game entitled; Mushboom Hunting. At 60-150 bits a piece, adventurers are sent out by the beck and call of Mystic Heart to pull in more caps for her enchanting materials. And that's all for this week. Have a good one. One more week till All Hallow's Eve! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go vote for a few OC's. Then brainstorm something to suggest as a side-mission. Expect foxes. Lots and lots of foxes.
Thanks for the mention ^.^ Speaking of MLP merch, they're coming out with new MLP dog tags and a trading card game that they unveiled at the con I went to, I made a thread for it in the merch section (pictures included) so you guys can check that out if you're interested.
A few other things to add in: Tune in on our livestream radio on Wednesday and Thursday this week. It's Nightmare Night! So that means Tyro and I will be streaming. I will attempt to get scared for your entertainment, while I'm not too sure about Tyro. Just remember Wednesday 8pm EDT is the start of mine, and on Thursday 8pm EDT will be Tyro's.
Hey everypony! I'm thinking I'mma do an EPRP on tuesday night, from 5 to 10 EST, so yay! Be dere! Pwease! It might even become a regular thing, since I have most of Tuesday off every week.
Hey! I'll use that music for something. I'm just stuck between procrastination and coursework. We will have...Well, probably two EP based games...somehow!
Well, if you need help with anything such as sound design or music, just hit me up on Skype and I'll tell ya if I'm free or not. :derpe: Also, my previous offers still stand. If you ever decide to make a 3D (or 2.5D) game, I can also make models for ya. ^^
Nono. 3D sprites every day of the week. Also depending on what you want, voxel models can be a looot faster to make than polygonal models, since you don't have to make any textures for it or mess with UV mapping. Spoiler: dat voxel cow tho
