Ever since that day, Pinkie started selling her new "Secret Ingredient Cake", and everyone loved it.

The secrect ingredient being hotsauce.

No, that's just her hotcakes. Which, by the way, aren't selling very well. Or at all.

This is just too amusing, had to post it again.

Why is RD attacking the camera man?

She was distracted by shiny objects. Or someone was jingling keys.

Because he used too many pester balls and not enough apples.

That needs to be a Gif.

I did a new liveblog thingy, for anyone interested.

Yay! I should never doubt this fandom's ability to stay one step ahead of me.

Yeah, in excess of a hundred pages since I last visited this topic. Pardon the thread hop!

For those who weren't around to see my original posts on the subject, my friend and I have been working on a FIM-based scrolling shoot-em-up for the last few months. We're aiming for a release of "before Christmas, " and most of the assets and game have already been finished. She has now released two demos of the game, with the intent of stirring up awareness of the game as well as receiving constructive feedback and criticism. The download to the new, revised demo can be found here:

For those who played the previous version of the demo, this version features changes to the control scheme and difficulty:

• The Shift key's function being moved to the A key, and being made a toggle instead of a hold.
• No more manual shots for Twilight or Chatterbox; Cadance retains a manual shot, but the need to mash it as quickly as possible for maximum damage is mitigated. (Her manual shot now fires four shots in a row for every press of the button.)
• In game tutorial accessible with the U key on the title screen. Please though, check out the included readme file.
• Reduced difficulty by way of "less bullets flying everywhere, " do to observations of playtesters elsewhere. (The final game will almost certainly include selectable difficulty settings.)

Note that no change has been made to hit or damage indication as of yet, do to the difficulty of adding such a wide-reaching feature making it unfeasible for this build. We'll get there. In the meantime, please be aware that the in-game tutorial does clearly indicate the hitboxes for each character.

Also, be aware that to exit the game you will have to use the Esc key. The X button on the game's window does not work. Sorry about that!

To both newcomers and to those who have played the previous demo, we thank you for your interest and time. Any and all comments, whether compliments, criticism, or complaints, would be appreciated! We hope you enjoy!

That gif is adorable.

@Registered: nice, will try later. Always had a soft spot for danmaku.

Our entry on Required Secondary Powers is looking nice, although I feel like we can refine it and improve it.

Thread Hop

What's going on?

Judging from how dead this chat is, I'd say that nothing is going on.

I'm sure that we can all relate to Twilight in this situation.

...so quiet.

I really like this cover of Love Is In Bloom.

It is quite... Hmm, How about a question then?

A simple one this time, What is your favourite episode(s)?

Mine would probably be Hurricane Fluttershy, A Canterlot Wedding, and Lesson Zero.

Hurricane Fluttershy and Sonic Rainboom are my top two episodes.

Hey, guys.

Caught up to the thread. Saw the stuff about apple juice.

Wish I could have been here to say, "Why do they call her Applejack if she doesn't taste like apples?"

Dragonshy, A Dog and Pony Show, Sisterhooves Social and It's About Time are my favourites.

Oh hai Connie.

I like It's About Time, too.

I'm a sucker for Stable Time Loop s.

I would have, but people say it all the time anyway. It seems a bit old to me.

I know, but they were actually talking about what Applejack tastes like. If there was ever a time to say it, it would be then.

Not counting the two parters, I think "Dog and Pony Show" and "Lesson Zero" are my favorites. "Sisterhooves Social" is definitely up there, though.
