    Coming Soon, Really

    I've been a bit under the weather since Trotcon, but feeling better now.

    This weekend I need to work on putting together some poni stuff for my niece (she's up here for her birthday), and my inability to do basic things makes that a bit difficult. So I may be delayed a few days on the Trotcon retro and the other long post I still really really want to share with y'all.

    Twilight's Enigmatic Clarification (AI ≠ LLM GAI)

    To head off any possible confusion, I've added a clarification to TEEE's story page and a note at the top of the chapter explaining that TEEE was not written using LLM generative AI (the story actually predates this technology by several years).

    I will be at Trotcon. Still alive.

    I remain alive, and as of June 13th am now the number of symmetries in a cube.

    I will be at Trotcon.

    Please contact me if you're there! (Or even if not, that's okay too.) :pinkiesad2:

    I might do an author party. I'll announce it with another post. Signal boost would be useful.

    I am still alive and also at AnthrOhio

    Sorry for disappearing. Ironically the thing I wanna talk about is the thing that keeps me from being here at FF or getting anything done. :facehoof:

Updated Hero Sprites · 2:11pm Sep 9th, 2016

I've finished the hero animations for the Earth Pony, Unicorn, Pegasus, Zebra, and Nightwing hero classes. I will likely be tweaking these further by adding more shading texture to the non-Zebra hero images. I might save the shading tweaks until after playtesting begins—I haven't quiet decided yet.


Fangy McEartufty! <3

Frames
00–01: standing and idling
02–07: six-frame walk cycle (in order)
08–12: death (in order, then repeat frame 11)
13–15: attack (in order)
16–17: opening/manipulating (16, 17, 16)
* 18 *: levitating
19–20: reading a magic scroll

All of this was done by hoof (the sprites are 100% my design).

Next up is drawing identical versions of each of these frames (except the death ones) with the heroes wearing different kinds of barding, then custom pony-based monster sprites. The monsters will be easy to do by comparison, and existing game background sprites and custom obstacle sprites won't need to be changed, so I'm probably about halfway through the amount of work I'll need to do for the graphical elements.

The game redesign work should be comparatively simple, as I already have hashed out what I plan to modify (although some of the modifications will be extensive). I plan to release the game for playtesting in a month or two, and I'll submit it to Android store soon afterwards.

I've already gone back and added shading, and am working on the armor sprites now (which is another 560 pony images).

So many ponies. :raritydespair:

BE THE PONY.
