So... just what have I been doing that has kept me from writing anything? · 8:11pm Aug 21st, 2013
Hello everyone! Did you miss me? I know you didn't! Anyway, I know some of you are wondering, "where the hell is Tales of Harmony? And what about that new magical filly thing?" Well, I've been busy! With what? Work! What kind of work? Well, aside from a summer gig with Intel, I've been assisting a couple other bronies in the development of their video game, Drifter.
Drifter is the spiritual sequel to both SylrePony's Derpy Buddy games and Stroll by Silly Mare Games. In Drifter you play as Derpy in a simple little exploration game (that was not so simple to make). Your objective? Find all the ponies in the level. Not so hard, right? Well... let's just say you might want to tread lightly in dark spooky caves... and run as fast as your little pony hooves can at other times! So, have I gotten you all interested now? No? Have a screenshot!
I would like to say it has been both a blast and an honor working with the team that created this humble little game. I did not make this myself. This was a team effort and I was more than happy to be a small part of something greater. I've made some great friends in this little adventure, and isn't that what life is all about? Making some friends? Well, I hope you all enjoy it. From all of us here at our little team, we all hope you enjoy this game.

Be sure to read the three text files included.
Works on windows only, sorry linux and mac users.
By default the game is windowed, to change it simply open the config.lua file and change fullscreen = false to fullscreen = true
Take a good look at some of those other config.lua entries, you may find something interesting!
If you enjoyed this game, tell a friend! Let's all share in a little magic.
Buy Tales games
I cared.
Grats and all the cool gigs though. Hope to see you actually continue the Filly Cure though, that was fucking amazing. And yes, the swear was necessary!
If anything, I guess should be happy with what we got. Sorry not many people appreciated your story. Most stories staring with Diamond Tiara that doesn't have her being maimed or horribly humiliated in some fashion, always tend to rank pretty low. =(
Ah, cool. I was wondering. What was keeping you busy.
Speaking of Tales games, what did you think of Xillia?
