Hello everyone!
Just a small reminder that we're:
a) not dead
and
b) still working on this.
And that you can check out (or follow, if you want!) our twitter to catch small bite sized updates that don't warrant a full article in this site!
For example, this is a thing I was working on earlier, and that Nappy requires me to inform you is nowhere near a finished sprite, a finished placeholder, a finished placeholder sketch, or an unfinished placeholder sketch thought... It's just a very early test thing we're using, and may not reflect the final art style of the game. (since it's currently off model to our reference sheets. What with being a "done in 5 mins" test thing and all.)
Anu out!
ALSO! Tron Lives!
*Yawn* Yeah yeah, sure...
ReplyDeleteYAY!
ReplyDeleteI wish Tron lived, that was an awesome show. Why'd it have to die? :(
ReplyDeleteAnyways, keep up the good work!
I know you guys aren't dead but it's good to see you're still hear!
ReplyDeleteI'm already following you on twitter so i'll be sure to check on your tweets once in a while! =)
Also what an interesting placeholder sketch, I like it hehe!
I wish y'all the utmost best on developing, learning, and more using LabZero's awesome game engine (that I can't remember the name of...).
Brohoofs to y'all! /) =D
yay! I don't have twitter, but I still check back regularly anyways so I'll know when something big happens :3
ReplyDelete:3
ReplyDeleteConsider your Tweets observed.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't feel long since your last update...
ReplyDeleteI'm not on Twitter (fed up of making accounts online). But I always check here once in a while to see how you guys are doing. I prefer big updates anyway. ^_^
As long as that's not the final color palette, I'm good.
ReplyDeleteThat would be the Z Engine
ReplyDelete/)
Tennis Shoe Twilight lives on... In cow form!
ReplyDeleteThat looks pretty good actually.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, The Z Engine!
ReplyDeleteIt's such an awesome game engine indeed hehe!
Thanks for telling me MysteyX95 and a kind brohoof right back at ya! /)*(\
May you have a nice day/night and continue to be awesome!
By the way, I wouldn't mind becoming friends as well hehe!
Ngh... ah... the colors! Ah! This is great! AH! AAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
ReplyDeleteWow, this prototype design is actually pretty good!,
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed Mane6! :)
what the fuck.
ReplyDeleteProblem Katie?
ReplyDeleteEven as a "done-in-five-minute" sketch it makes me unreasonably excited. Just because you guys are still doing good work.
ReplyDeleteAlso, love Tron Uprising!
Some people think that bronyisms like being extremely friendly and wanting to be friends with everyone are off-putting. It's sometimes a personal space thing, and sometimes just something they aren't used to. Either way, just ignore them, and let them dislike what they dislike. If it's your friend who has the problem, just try and tone it down around them. A little moderation can go a long way sometimes.
ReplyDeleteKindly fuck yourself. There's no need to be rude about anything.
ReplyDeleteHmm...got it and i'm very aware of what I say to some people. Yup!
ReplyDeleteBut thanks for the kind advice CamTSB! I guess some people aren't used to seeing kind, friendly people like me haha. Yeah...
Also we don't know if Katie is a non-brony/anti-brony/troll or not but if he is...oh well. If he/she gets angry, I'll apologize. If he insults me, I would either ignore him/her or say something about that or...report him/her. (if he/she broke the rules that is). Nothing too hard to deal with as I learned over the years.
Still thanks for the advice CamTSB. =)
Btw I think your reason of this site not being related to ponies is not a good reason. Many bronies still go to this site and to see non/anti-bronies come because of no ponies is...well...silly hehe.
Just saying!
Anyways See ya and have a wonderful day/night!
Of course. I don't deny that a lot of bronies will still come here, but it's not going to be flooded with bronies as much, as it's not involving ponies alone.
ReplyDeleteIf you aren't already aware, the fighting game community is... pretty hard to get used to, in a sense of how they act to eachother.
Oooo the fighting game community, how nice and I know they'll be coming on this site but there's no denial that they won't be seeing anything pony-related in comments (or bronies or whatever).
ReplyDeleteI'm aware of how the community is as i'm a gamer myself and known about them for years...but this isn't the case at the moment. With non-bronies...i'll be nice and try not to overwhelm them of course (I tend not to anyways). and with anti-bronies, well...who knows what happens when I see one.
If they're causing trouble, report. If not then ignore...that is all.
...still thanks for the caution my friend CamTSB!
I'll be sure to be careful and not do anything to upset some non-bronies hehe. See ya, have fun and continue to be awesome! ^^

My connection is awful on some sites, with Twitter being one of them. Took 10 minutes to finally reach that image... -_-
Seriously, that took 5 minutes!?. Brilliant!!!... It takes 3 hours for me to sketch from screenshot, of course with all the shadings of the character...
Nice to see you still making friends here, Jake. It's been a while. ^_^
ReplyDeleteLuna Fan, hi again! =D
ReplyDeleteNice to see you again as well and it certainly has been sometime since we last talked haha.
Yes I've been making friends like I usually am hehe!
Yup!
How do you do? I'm fine thank you, recently gotten some new games on steam! I haven't tried them yet but will in time! ^_^
Been having a rest, browsing forums, gaming (not a lot) and reading fanfics. ^_^
ReplyDeleteI just can't wait for season 4 of MLP FiM. =D Sadly, Equestria Girls hasn't come to my location yet... :(
I wonder what other characters these guys have got planned. That cow sure does kick butt.
Cool and I can't wait for season 4 too!
ReplyDeleteThat Cow does look mighty awesome hehe, I too wonder what other kind of great characters they have planned! Yup!
I just watched Equestria Girls 3 days ago (Augest 30th, 2013). If you want, I can link you to the movie in HD 1080p (Bluray rip hehe!)
You can either choose to watch it online or download it...or both! If you rather wait, then nevermind. ^^
Anyways it's nice to see you're doing well my friend and may you continue to do so.
Just as a small reminder, no linking of things you shouldn't be linking here...
ReplyDeleteRight, got it! Still I can link to a video online but no downloads. =)
ReplyDeleteUnless I can't...oh well.
Thanks for the warning though CamTSB (are you a awesome mod? Just curious!).
where did I get the game ?
ReplyDeleteYou don't. It's not done yet.
ReplyDeleteWE NEED A TRON CHARACTER!
ReplyDeleteI would imagine the answer being yes, but will each character have an alternative colour scheme like on the previous project? Of course, I wouldn't want it to only be allowed for the second player, due to both players having the same character in a battle. (Like some games do.)
ReplyDeleteIf they will be, how many colour schemes will you be planning to give each character?
Yes. Palettes will be a thing.
ReplyDeleteWe've not yet decided how many we'll give 'em, (what with the default color schemes not settled on just yet), but off the top of the collective head, six at least, more if we can come up with ideas we want. One of the advantages of the Z-engine is that we don't have to limit ourselves to one palette per button anymore.
If I remember correctly, Cam is going to be testing for bugs during the game's development. He also comes here answering QnAs to help the mane6 team.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to wait for the DVDs to be released...
Ah so Cam is a game tester and answers questions? Awesome hehe! Indeed. =)
ReplyDeleteAh okie doki, feel free to wait and get the EqGs DVD when it comes out! =D
Just so you know though...I enjoyed the movie well as it was good (not the greatest movie but good overall) with my favorite song being the Cafeteria one (Help Twilight Win the Crown being the name of the song!).
Will each character have a palette reminiscent of the pony they're filling in for? e.g. If the cow is replacing Applejack, will she have a palette where her coat is orange, hair is yellow, eyes are green, maybe make her spots red and bandana brown? Or is that too risky?
ReplyDeleteTSC?
ReplyDeleteWithout answering your question, I'm going to make a couple comments about what you've said in general... I feel like the new characters aren't... replacing the ponies at all. While a lot of the movesets will still be as they were, the characters and the world and everything about it is completely new. It's not a cut and paste process of putting a cow where a pony once was. There's a lot of world building and character development. Not to be rude in any way, but in my mind I feel like saying they are just replacing the ponies is... almost insulting to the new characters. Trust me when I say you will love them as their own characters.
ReplyDeleteOh I'm excited for the new characters. I just thought it'd be a neat reference. I just couldn't think of a better way to put it.
ReplyDeleteOh, great. I was getting a little sacered this might have died. Still looking foward to this game.
ReplyDeleteI say you probably won't be able to implement this, but it would be cool if you could allow players to make custom palettes for the characters.
ReplyDeleteAny clues/hints on what kind of character you're going to reveal next?
ReplyDeleteHow is, the great and powerful, Lauren Faust doing with you guys? Will she actually be having a go at your finished product?
Just a little something!
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing it's Tennis Shoe Cow.
ReplyDeleteIt's not something we're aiming for.
ReplyDeleteAh, fair enough.
ReplyDeletepatiently looking forward to this can't wait for updates to get pumped over. I've been wondering if character backgrounds will be part of your updates in the future since we dont know these characters or if we'll learn of these characters once the game releases.
ReplyDeleteWe'll try to get a bit more world-building in future updates, as things get set in stone; It might not be The Lord of the Rings every three weeks, but we'll try to at least introduce people to the new universe before the game releases.
ReplyDeleteI'm really hyped about this project. Thanks a lot for the small
ReplyDeleteupdates guys, and I'm REALLY looking forward to know more soon. I'm
loving the cow character, by the way. Oooohgawsh, she looks so cute.
Do the characters have names already?
Anyway,
keep up the AWESOME work, and remember, you have all our support! I
said it once and I'll always keep saying it: since the beginning, this
was an amazing project, and even though there has been some rocks on the
way, it still goes firm and awesome, and growing bigger and bigger
every minute. Congratulations for your hard work!
cool I look forward to seeing what sort of world and characters you will start coming out with for us!
ReplyDeleteno offense but why are you guys still doing this nonprofit? it's your game now and you are not restricted by any legal issues. why not go with the kickstarter and get funding for your project, and move at a far faster pace and not have to suffer so much?
ReplyDeleteMoney is only one factor in getting going. Time and availability is a MAJOR hurdle right now. That will change! Money will allow us to spend more time on it, but we also have to work on getting something that is ready for people to pay us for!
ReplyDeletePaleteSwaped from a Sketch from a Sillouette is best character XD
ReplyDeleteAnyway anytink that you dislike from the Z-Ngine??
Its nice to see that you guys are still kicking. I can't wait to play the game ^^ My question is though, will you guys make a mac version?
ReplyDeleteIf the Z-engine supports it, sure why not.
ReplyDeleteHope we get a progress update soon. It's been over a month now...
ReplyDeleteThey still aren't dead, that's progress!
ReplyDeleteBut really, are you like, programmed to come in almost exactly a month after a post asking about more updates? Not being rude, I've just noticed it happening before.
I normally come here a few times a week. But I can understand. ^_^.
ReplyDeleteJust thought updates used to be every 2-4 weeks.
Updates are when there's things to update on. I'm sure once there is more to show they will be more frequent, but until then, the twitter is the best place of information until the site is updated.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't worry about coming here that often. I'm here several times daily to see if I can help answer any questions.
I'm curious as to what you guys are planning to do as far as music. Are you planning to try to salvage the existing music or get all new audio?
ReplyDeleteApplejack's theme is great, but it's probably too closely married to Winter Wrap Up to pass muster. Same for Twilight. But Fluttershy's theme would work just fine if you cut the bit at the start the actually plays Hush Now (there are five note references throughout but not enough to be problematic and they aren't actually playing the line from the song).
While Pinkie's theme would work, I'm kind of hoping the llama (who my brother calls the Alpinka) gets a cool Peruvian theme.
Dash's song could be salvaged with a few melody changes to get rid of any Gala references.
Totally new music.
ReplyDeleteUsing the Z-engine gives us a lot more technical freedom there than we had with FM2K; We can lift some restrictions we had to put on the music from the technical side, plus try some cool things that we're really excited about.
That, and it's a new IP, with new characters and a new universe. New, original music themes would be a better fit for that than stripped-down thine-small-equine themes.
Yo Mane6! Just stopping by and dropping a hello on you guys. Hope to see some interesting info in the near future, until then keep rocking it like you guys always do. Peace out!
ReplyDelete@Mane6,
ReplyDeleteWill we get an update for November? :)
Its been almost a year since the last update O_o
ReplyDeleteYou're reading the date wrong. That's Sept. 1, 2013.
ReplyDeleteWill we get an update for December? :D
ReplyDeleteHey everyone I've been away from electronics and such for a while sad to say but about the game itself has the mlp theme go away or something I'm kinda lost please don't hate I just want an answer or something is the game like all animal fight thing or what?
ReplyDeleteThe game will still be four legged hooves,they'll also will keep most of their fighting mechanic as well as move set the same. Lauren Faust is working with the Mane6 and is in charge of character design and unless you haven't heard they now have the Skullgirl engine a professional grade engine with a lot more to offer that the FMK2002 engine.
ReplyDeleteDear god, fix redirection from mane6.com to www.mane6.com already!
ReplyDeleteThank a lot for clearing that up I just have been to places were there are no electronics. So thanks again.
ReplyDeleteOK, seriously, 11 months later and there's not a single important thing you've done?
ReplyDelete3 months . . . once again, the date is in a day-month-year format.
ReplyDeleteYou can always just check their Twitter account.
ReplyDeleteThought I drop in and wish you all A Merry Christmas. Hope your project is coming along fine. ^_^
