I remember that livestream I was on... Good times.

Thanks for the advice. The main things I'd like is an animated cut scene for the intro (and perhaps the ending) and a few voice acting parts where possible. Just from a guess, I'd say that be $1000 to $1500 (Including a few other things I'd like to add to the game, such as better animations and extra music/sound effects). I'll have to narrow it down and talk to some animators!

I've been developing a game for a while and after recently talking to someone, they thought it would be a good idea if I did a kickstarter for it. I had considered it long ago, but my thoughts at the time were that I had everything I needed to make the game, so why bother asking people money for it? But thinking harder on it and how developed the game is, with a kickstarter, if I got a decent amount of money I could do many more things with it. I could get some good quality voice acting, animated cut scenes, better looking animations and so forth. And thinking more into it, it seems people are more likely to pay attention to a game if it has a kickstarter due to the incentives and a growing community over it. Of course there are negatives such as it could fail and I get nothing out of it, ultimately meaning the game is far from getting a release (depending on the goal of course). And at the time I had been developing the game, there were some media reports on kickstarter (referring to YogsCast and the creator of Fez), which made me wonder if the whole kickstarter thing was starting to fall. But I'm not the most knowledgeable person about kickstarter even if I read what it's about. I have a few questions from anyone who reads this Topic: Have you ever backed a kickstarter or were part of one? What is your stance on game developers using kickstarter? Should I try a kickstarter for my game?

Didn't the 2Snacks guy recently create some awesome 3D Models? Makes me wonder what the future videos will be like.

BUMPING here, been two days. I've gotten some feedback, but I need way more people to Beta Test if I'm to continue. I am making updates, but I'm hoping more people will test the version I currently have out. Thank you.

QUAD KNIGHT "Once in a world like ours....There lived a Dreamer... A Dreamer whom dreams of Knighthood, to show that he had loyalty, valor, and most of all; purpose. "But that Dreamer was a horse named Domino. He was the smallest horse in the land, too small to even reach the apples on the shortest of trees, let alone become a Knight. "So the Dreamer...remained a Dreamer. But one Moonlit night, an old and wicked entity awoke on the Moon. Slowly, it plunged the Lunar Kingdom into darkness. The Lunar Princess sent her best to combat the Evil, but all was lost... "The Moon became cursed, and things turned for the worst; the Stars in the heavens, all fell to Earth. If nothing was done soon, the Sun would also fall, dooming all into eternal darkness... "But before the Princess fell, she sent her Spirit Animal, a Lunar Moth named Crescent, down to Earth with her families heirloom; the Heroes Helm! With it, one whom is fated to wear it can control the power of the Stars... "...But heroes...can come in any shape or size..." Thanks for taking a read! This is my upcoming game that I've been working on since mid April this year. I made everything but the music all myself, so it's been a tough road. I'll try updating this Topic every once in the blue, so keep an eye out if you're interested in this game! Need all the supporters I can get! Q: What is this game about? Glad ya asked. It's a Platformer based off the Kirby and Yoshi's Island games. It's simple and easy with a colorful sort of art style, which is similar to that of crayons as you'll note. Though the main 'gimmick' behind this game is STAR POWER. When you control Domino, you'll collect different types of Stars that you can use. There are 25 different Stars that have unique abilities that can help fight enemies, solve puzzles, or help you with platforming. The game works a little like the classic Castlevania's in that you'll find different Items on the go and have to make the best of the situation at hand. You'll also control Crescent and use her to aim at targets when you shoot Powers or the such. She also does a few other neat tricks, making her very useful! Q: How long or tough is the game? Currently, the game is not Greenlit on Steam Greenlight nor is it completed. Right now, I'm in need of a few Beta Testers before I try the Greenlight scene again and release this Demo. If we're talking about the Demo, the Demo has 3 Main Levels, a Shop, and a Boss you can unlock if you collect enough "Fallen Stars". The first level is straight-forward and teaches you the mechanics. The Second one is more exploration and doesn't hold your hand. The Third Level is the toughest and longest, but if you have good platforming skills you'll do okay. If we're talking about the Full Game when completed, there will be over 50 Main Levels + Bonus Levels, 6 Worlds, 256 total Stars to collect and LOTS of secret stuff. The game will take a good 12 hours not including 100% completion or Hard Mode. Q: What's the goal in the game? In the story, Domino is chosen by the Heroes Helm and becomes the new Hero to save the Moon. This was completely unexpected to Crescent, whom is royalty, and she sees it as a joke and isn't very kind to Domino through the beginning of the adventure. So they have a complex relationship. In order to get to the Moon from Earth, they need to use the Star Bridge. Problem is, all the Stars have fallen, so they now have to collect as many Stars as possible to rebuild it. Interesting note; The Worlds in the game are based on them Ascending towards the Moon. They get higher and higher into the Sky before finally reaching the Moon. Q: Interesting Features? This game has Costumes! LOTS of Costumes! This Demo only has nine at the moment, but there will more than likely be a hundred if this game releases! There's also Hard Mode and a few other secret things I'm working on. Q: Images? Videos? Some of this stuff is a little old, but the game has remained relatively the same: Video of gameplay: Here's my Twitter if you want updates on occasion: https://twitter.com/LucasMaxBros And here's the latest Demo! It's in a Zip Folder, containing the game and a document which lists some info on where to send feedback(Or you can post feedback here! I'll listen!) It's 49 Megabytes: http://www.mediafire.com/download/ub0b9h3mrtwdac9/QuadKnightDemo2.1.zip The game has Controller Support, but I personally like using the Keyboard+Mouse the best. Try both! And you can change the controls however ya like! Thanks & Support "Quad Knight"!

Like the use of of the eraser technique. Her hat seems a little flatter, were you drawing from an angle or looking straight down? I too usually look at what I'm drawing at a slight angle, so some of my drawings occasionally have this happen.

Oh hey! More posts! Thank you all for the warm welcoming.

So, listen. I came to this forum for multiple reasons. One big reason is to help support my game (which is on Steam Greenlight RIGHT NOW, go support it!) and it's essentially the first actual "video game" for bronies in a sense. To avoid copyright, everything in the game is original, but there are several references and a similar world. I have been having some trouble gaining votes, especially from a community that isn't...well, brony entirely... http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=292352672 Take a look if you would so kindly. I have more planned and more to say, but I'll post that another time.

Thanks, and I have a quick question since I'm not use to this forums layout; how do you get to the page where you can edit what your Signature is? It doesn't show up in my profile and that's where I'd expect it to be.

Made this in 2012 in Gimp of all things. This was probably the smoothest drawing I made using said program. Not a lot of people take a look at it and it never got on the Drawfriend, but I get a favorite on DA every once in a while. Let me know if you guys want a Galacta Knight vs MLP crossover type picture.

My Favourite Mane 6 Pony: Applejack How did you find MLP Forums?: Google. How you became a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: Went to a party with some friends where we watched the season opener to season 2. Hello, I am an Indie Developer who has a future in making games. I've come to this forum because I like the community as well as show off my game I'm currently making. Hopefully you'll all enjoy it. I'm also an artist and have had a few comics in the past get attention on EQD. If you're in need of someone to program, make art, or craft a story - I'm your guy.
