...of the Build and Buy modes including a nice small but varied catalog of objects you can buy for your ponies! We hope to share much more soon and give a bit bigger of an update when we're closer to release. Thank you all again for your support of the project! 🐴💖

Little update, we are still alive! We know it's been a while since we last shared an update but we have been making good progress towards our alpha demo milestone! We've been working on a bit of scene building including some new models for different environmental props...

[The Ponies @theponiesgame]

...as well as chipping away on some very complex but necessary code to power how ponies will choose actions autonomously and how it affects their needs. Additionally we're just about finished with the mechanics for the careers system and we'll be working on a new iteration...

We are live once again! Come join us in a new 3D modeling stream where you can see new objects being created for the game! https://t.co/Vxn6iiNR3H

[The Ponies @theponiesgame]

Our pony modeler has been working hard to make our pony 2.0 models cute :3

This one has unfortunately melted though...

Thank you all for your patience!! We know you've been dying to see more on the project, and we apologize for not having more to share recently but we are trying to figure out some plans for another livestream, so hooves(?) crossed that circumstances allow for it soon! 🐴

[The Ponies @theponiesgame]

Don't worry, we're still around! There's just been a lot of factors outside of the team's control that have made the last couple months be a bit slow, but we hope to have some new progress to share soon! You can get more frequent project updates in our Discord server!

[The Ponies @theponiesgame]

Team Recruitment - we are currently looking for a texture artist who can create a variety of textures for things like walls and floors for our game in a cartoon-style! If you're interested, feel free to drop by the recruitment channel in our Discord: https://t.co/fJP5WCa9gp

[The Ponies @theponiesgame]

It's mostly just a rundown of some technical stuff, but we have a new progress update up on our website! Feel free to take a look here: https://t.co/6bdBNfWEB9

[The Ponies @theponiesgame]

Little progress update - we've been working on the career gameplay development, as well as more work on the interactions system. Not to mention nearly getting done with the procgen wall tool for build mode! We hope to share some more stuff soon, keep an eye out for updates! 🐴

[The Ponies @theponiesgame]

...and SFX production! (this would involve creating sound effects for objects when ponies use them, as well as ambient object and environmental sounds. If you are interested in any of these, we recommend reaching out to us in our Discord server: https://t.co/Q2LeO4dVPH

[The Ponies @theponiesgame]

Team Recruitment - Update on our last post: we have filled the main programming position, but are still open to some smaller spots on the team such as UI/UX programming, basic systems implementation, and generally just assisting with the completion of other programming tasks!

[The Ponies @theponiesgame]

As our project grows and we get closer to a demo release, we are looking to expand the team in other areas too and have opened up some spots for 3D modeling (primarily focused on objects and props), 2D texturing (wall/floor/terrain textures, etc.)...

[The Ponies @theponiesgame]

@tysonporter9 Yes we've been hard at work to create this game and bring it to reality! We're hoping to share some progress updates as soon as possible!

[The Ponies @theponiesgame]

Team Recruitment - we may have a programming spot opening up soon! We are looking for individuals with experience coding in C# who work well under the guidance of a programming lead. Whether you're interested in life simulator games, ponies, or even if you are entirely new to...
