About this blog

EQD%2BAd%2B%2528HD%2529.png

Every month or so, we'll come out with an update on the game. Sometimes progress is super showy & eventful, sometimes it's boring behind the scenes stuff, but they're always kept interesting and have a hopeful message about determination.

The blog is separated into parts to flow consistently. There's a summary/introduction/teaser linking to the full blog post on my website, then from there you'll get screenshot highlights, a list of tasks completed that week, a list of lessons learned, at least one paragraph of an interesting thought/idea/feature, then either a Patreon thank you, articles/videos my stuff has been featured in, or download counts for all my released games so far. Then the blog post ends with a paragraph or two about next steps and my thoughts going into the new week.

The aim with all this is to inspire other developers the way teams like Mane6 inspired us. To show game development is possible, and even though it takes forever, the progress is visible, the results are tangible, and the process is rewarding.

And for the more casual fan, this monthly blog shows that the devs are not dead, the project is still being worked on, and you'll get to play new content very soon.

So saddle up and come along for the ride!

BGP Devlog #4 (Hotfix TARTARUS!)

New Devlog Hotfix TARTARUS! is now on YouTube, check it out! After chipping away at development tools and setup behind the scenes, the Yotes Games team is back with an (admittedly late) update on what we've been up to!  In short, things like new scenery, a debugged overworld, and more videos breaking down specific mechanics can be expected as we charge full-speed ahead into the next year. The team is thankful for how far we've been able to get this year with the help of the Kickst

Backer Rewards (Wave 1): Complete! [New Merch Shop on RedBubble]

Everyone who ordered Add-Ons from the BGP Kickstarter should've gotten some special stuff  in the mail recently, or can at least expect it to show up before March 1st. (If not, double check your address listed on Kickstarter and let ol' Tony Yotes know if there's been a mixup.) It's been so nice to see the posts of people opening up their packages and we can't wait for the next wave with all the international ones and the PILE of T-Shirts to come!   With this stage of order fulf

Unity Fees Won't Stop Us

We've been getting messages from Battle Gem Ponies backers with worries that the Unity Per-Install Fee could delay or even cancel the project. Here to say now, that won't happen. ❌ Not only are we expecting to not come close to the 1M downloads & dollars a year mark to trigger it, but this project's been through way worse hardships than an engine change over the years. We'll do what we've gotta do to make BGP a reality and not allow a greedy company to bankrupt us with poorly thought ou

BGP is coming to the Monster Taming Direct! 💎📰✨

Exciting BGP news and reveals are coming to the Monster Taming Direct! 💎 The event will be hosted by Gym Leader Ed on YouTube, featuring tons of exciting news on Pokémon inspired indie games! The BGP team has seen this channel rapidly grow from 14K subs to over 90K over the past few years since plotting our own Kickstarter they promoted. And these Monster Taming Directs always exceed the sub count in the long term, so this might be pretty big deal. (100K niche targeted warm-lead views for

Progress Report: Final Crunchdown [Part 3/5]

The pieces are coming together one-by-one as each map gets fleshed out. But it'll still be a little while before it's considered to be in a "playable" state. Check it all out in the latest BGP Progress Report! https://www.patreon.com/posts/progress-report-99080476   Really looking forward to seeing people run around all these maps! I wonder what things will captivate people's exploration instincts most... There's going to be branching paths to let you do things "out of order", diffe
