Wizard

There has been a loooot of art between the last post and now. And of course, the most recent and most topical piece is this one I drew of the MLPForums mascot: Buffy!

I'm working on a visual novel that takes place during G4. I've always wanted to make my own, especially after playing so many fantastic games in the past! I don't know how far I will take this, it may be a short game, or maybe I'll stay in high spirits and keep going. I have coded in 13 characters so far (player included) but not all have been implemented yet. There are 4 main characters with speaking roles: The Player, Princess Luna, Fluttershy and Rarity. Right now I am sitting on exactly 2,473 words. Which is honestly very little when it comes to visual novels. I'd generously put it down as 2 chapters. I've been working on the coding mostly over the last few days, but I've started work on the art for it as well. I plan on having at least each of the mane 6 written and designed. I will focus on one character at a time so I can make sure each of their paths are fun and engaging. I will include a few screenshots of what I have so far, as well as the art I have for Princess Luna, who is the first pony you encounter in the game. The game is heavily inspired by Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. You are a human who is contacted by Princess Luna in a dream, then awaken within the pony world, and must find out why you are there, and eventually, save it from an unknown threat. I'm currently looking into coding RPG elements, such as performing tasks to increase your stats and having a sort of "relationship meter" for each pony, showing how close you are. Here, some music I've made for the game as well: "Main Menu" Love is strong.m4a "Cupcake Jiggle" Cupcake Jiggle.m4a "Wiggle Wiggle" Wiggle Wiggle.m4a "Womp Womp" womp womp.m4a I am not a musician. But I don't know anyone else who is, and I know how to use music software lol I don't currently have a playable demo, but if all goes well, I should have one ready within a week. I need to lock myself in my room with a litre of coffee and just code code code! I gotta use my gaming degree somehow, lol. UPDATE V0.02 Fluttershy has art! She finds you lying on the grass and is the first to come see if you're ok. Ain't she a cutie? UPDATE V0.03 Fluttershy has reaction images. Some rudementary background art is in place for certain scenes, these will be replaced. I am currently coding the map screen which will act as a sort of level select. You will be able to click on a location, go to that location, then click on an activity if it is available. This will be for stat raising, and to meet specific ponies. You could spend every day with 1 pony if you'd like, but that may go against your mission...

I was looking for a place where I could share my work and this seemed like the right place! I've made a few pieces over the last month, I'll post them in order of completion date, with the last being the most recent image. I have been pretty safe with most of the art I've been drawing, sticking to fairly static poses, though the most recent one was today's attempt at drawing an action pose, flying through the sky. Constructive feedback is welcome on any of my work. And the following spoiler is for my collection of "Pick-and-mix ponies" in which I have made my own base that I will use to make art for people at request (When open for them) When open, you can request for a pony to be made using the base shown below, you pick whether it's an earth pony, a pegasus or a unicorn, you can then describe the character, or share an image of your OC/ character of choice and I'll make one. These can be used as avatars or... anything really. You can request one here: https://mlpforums.com/topic/201961-wizards-freebie-emporium/ Do not request for one here, it makes it hard to remember who has asked for what. 08/11/2024 - THE RETURN!
