As some of you may know, I started working on an RMVXA game based on this premise. I was inspired by the first chapter of "The Mystquestrianizing" to do it.

I've got two more placeholder maps, one for Ponyville and one for the Equestria world map. Unfortunately, my mapping skills are something to be desired. I'll also need help with music, some graphics: character sets; battlers and face sets and possibly pop-up images and maybe custom scripting.

If anyone would like to participate in this glorious epic, PM me and I'll send you a link the project files.

Edit: Future updates will be posted here and downloads will include the necessary RTP files for a single download.

2014-06-14:
Created a YouTube playlist for the WIP videos and uploaded a third video.
Imported facesets for the main six and removed the solo Pinkie Pie face.
Added more interactive objects to Jaxxon's apartment.
Finished the first Lyraxxon scene.
Widened the Ponyville map.

2014-06-17 WIP Update
Pinkie Pie no longer teleports you to the Everfree Forest.
Applejack has been added, she will give you four apples, this action can be repeated indefinitely.
The player can explore the world map, loosely modeled after the official map. Needs more touches.
The Everfree Forest is only accessible through Ponyville.

Bookmark this page to keep yourself updated on future WIPs. All future updates will include the RTP.

2014-07-06 Update
Decided to go with Urimas' sprites from MLP Online as they're bigger and nicer looking than what I currently have. I'll upload a video with the new pony sprites when I'm done.

After doing this, I was reconsidering using the larger sprites. What do you think?

3328192 10/10, BEST GAME EVER, GAME OF THE YEAR:flutterrage:

3328735 And I haven't even started working on it yet, thank you. :twilightsheepish:

3328192

A yuppy Mormon brony from Utah who aims to be the coolest guy in the universe.

Game of the year 2014.

For those interested, RPG Maker VX Ace and several DLC are available on the Humble Weekly Bundle for another couple of hours.

3328770 I would recommend making the room a bit smaller though. Doesn't quite give that homey feel. maybe add a few windows with the shades drawn on the walls there, maybe a bit of carpet, a larger desk with maybe a chair and a lamp, and just for the heck of it maybe add an armoire with maybe some basic armour inside.

3329220
I will definitely do that.

3329247 Glad to be of service :twilightsmile:

I will pay you money for a copy if you finish this, I just... wow.

I've got a demo ready to download from Mediafire, so check it out. There isn't much, just the apartment scene and an unfinished Ponyville map.

And I'm kinda thinking about using a part of this for a Jaxxon/Lyra tender moment scene.

Edit: Here's the section I'll be using.

I just started redesigning the house. Making it bigger, adding more rooms and stuff to make it a hub for party members to relax when transporting back to Earth. I'll post an image of it later.

I'm always looking for help from interested parties. Mapping primarily, but if you can do something in the following, I'd be grateful for that too.

Graphics
Face sets
Character sets
Tile sets
Battlers (enemy graphics)
Scene pictures (popup images)

Audio
Background music
Music effects (fanfares, jingles)
Sound effects

Movies

Update:
I have a temporary Everfree Forest dungeon made up. What happens there? Find out when I upload the next WIP to Mediafire.

Sorry for quadruple posting, but I have a new video up on YouTube, check it.

It's still a very rough draft and I'll update this as the stories themselves are updated. You can download this WIP here.
You'll also need the RPG Maker VX Ace Run-Time Package in order to play it.

From this point on, I'll keep the RTP separate from the game itself.

Edit: As progress marches on, I'll update the first post.

Sir, would you care to explain why my anti-malware is stopping it from fully-downloading?:trixieshiftleft:

3344109
What kind of anti-malware software are you using?

3344179
Trend Micro Security

3344180
Well, unfortunately, I don't know much about Trend Micro. I use IObit Malware Fighter and there are no threats. It shouldn't be stopping the download at all.

I would recommend you use a download manager.

RPG Maker VX Ace is back on the humble bundle. Over $300 worth of RMVXA goodness is available for $25

New WIP uploaded, check the first post.

Thank you. I still have a long way to go. I'm quite surprised no one has yelled at me for using RPG Maker VX Ace instead of programming it from scratch.

If I used that, then more people would be able to play the game. RPG Maker is Windows only. :fluttershysad:
Besides, I can't afford Adobe Creative Cloud...

If you're still willing to chip in, I've been eyeing a modern day tiles package that I want to use for an original project. If I had that, I'd be more than willing to add more to the Earth side of the game.

My Steam name is the same as this one.

Depending on how I do at the casino next week, which is usually when I get some money, I'm still going to get it.

Eh, righto then.

3368936
It wouldn't bother me if you didn't. I don't usually ask people to do that kind of thing anyway. If you did though, I'll put your name on a "Special Thanks" list.

Eh, I need you to click yes on the friend invite, as Steam doesn't just let me send it to a random user.

It's not really going to hurt my steam wallet anyway, and to be honest I'd just end up spending it on another b-grade RTS game anyway.

3368955
Heh. Sorry. Try it now.

Aw yeah! Thanks, bear!

Jaxxon's Apartment. Top: Standard Interior Tiles w/Imported Interior; Bottom: Modern Tiles w/Imported Interior.

3369980
That's the tileset. I don't like it either, but if I put it up one more square, then the stove will be in the wall.

3369993
I plan on the apartment being a sort of hub when going back to Earth. I'll see what I can do about changing the walls, it shouldn't be that hard to do. Plus I'm going to modify the existing "C" layer so I can have the book and notes.

More Jaxxon's apartment goodness.

3372105
I'll have to lampshade that.

Footage of the new apartment!

I have some ideas on turning this into a trilogy. Here's what I have written down so far:

Mystquestria: The Game
Jaxxon Markus Citadel opens a gate to Equestria after a failed assassination attempt on him by thugs of Alonzo Garcia’s cartel, but the new world has its problems as well. Jaxxon discovers a cocaine trafficking ring in Canterlot led by Prince Blueblood, a unicorn pony partnered with Alonzo.


Mystquestria II: Rise of the Agency
Five years after the events of Mystquestria, Jaxxon has decided to profit from his discovery by allowing people to take a vacation in Equestria and forms the Mystquestria Travel Agency.

Things were going well for Jaxxon. He is happily married to Lyra and with the help of the unicorn Twilight Sparkle, the two were able to produce offspring.

When word of the travel agency gets to a certain dead drug lord’s son, the obvious course of action is revenge.


Mystquestria III: The Mystquestrianator
Two years after the events of Mystquestria 2, a unicorn mare stumbles upon Jaxxon’s original book and decides to recruit fellow ponies to try to conquer Earth.

You are one of these recruits, an undercover pony (unicorn, pegasus or earth pony mare or stallion) from Celestia’s royal guard. Your mission is to prevent the renegade from annihilating the human race.

I'll probably stick her inside later.

Just letting people know I'm still monkeying about with it. Added some dialog, fixed some dialog, changed the way some doors outside work.

I also started working on an 8-Bit Theater homage in RPG Maker VX Ace. I can't find any premade maps, so I gotta make them using the originals as references.

Here are snips of the maps so far.

This will probably be the only mention of another project here. I just created a group that will be dedicated to other projects.

New WIP video coming, be sure to check the first post.

It's on hiatus for now. I immediately switched back to the smaller sprites, but I probably will use the larger ones for the princesses.
