Been getting our priorities straight lately so we can work on this project much more efficiently. See more on the Patreon page!

Forgot to post this sooner! This update video was released on Friday, August 21, 2020 at midnight EDT.

AHHHHHHH *Thud* how in the...wait I remember this place... Hey everyone! So before we get into the details here is some explaining...my motivation has shifted in ways that will be explained here otherwise enjoy what I have to say. Alright so let's just jump right into this. My focus has completely changed from just writing fanfiction. In fact I have officially released the Prologue and Chapter 1 of The Book of Isaac (formerly Project Isaac) on Wattpad and that is and will be my main source of writing for now until further notice (go check it out if you want). Otherwise I have some more info. As stated in my previous blog post here, I finally got my Twitch up (@AriestheFallen) and have streamed some stuff as a hobby, the only thing I'm technically missing is a facecam (need money and I'm working on it) I am also finally making my first YouTube video for my channel (AriestheFallen) and here's a hint: it is anime related and not a reaction. But as of right now my main focus is of these 3 things along with personal friends and family business that I will get into at a later date. This is not to say I am leaving, that is not true I am personally taking a break that is all...but I guess I should ask a simple question if you made it this far... How is everybody? Are you doing alright? I apologize for not being on this site as much as I used to...it pains me that I left it because of personal business but I am going to try and make a return...which is why i asked the questions above. Otherwise this is Silvermoon signing off...peace out.

Ok, so I'm updating to Windows 10 from Windows 7 SP1. The upgrade went smoothly after I finally downloaded the windows media creation tool found here; http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 The upgrade took a while and then Windows was slow after the install. If youopen up the Windows Store app (Windows logo on a bag icon in the task bar), you'll see it's still doing a bunch of stuff in the background. Ok, no problem, until I noticed a lot of the apps that it was downloading were failing. I figured it maybe needed another reboot, so I rebooted and found problem number one. When you upgrade to windows 10, the default login will be your windows live login, not the computer login you were using on windows 7. After digging through LastPass on my phone, I found my live login and got back into my machine. You will be given the option for logging in with your live id or a local account. Cool, no problem. I checked on the apps that Windows Store was having problems installing...still failing. A quick lookup of the error code pointed to a windows activation error. So I went to the settings app, Update & Security, Activation and click on the Activate button. 'Windows can't activate. Try again later. F-en great. After digging, I found a way to activate via phone. Here's the steps; Hold the windows button and push 'R' to get the run box. enter 'slui.exe 4' without the quotes and you'll be given a window with a phone number and a bunch of numbers. Calling that number gets you to an automated system where you enter all of these numbers to activate. It didn't work for me, so I was transferred to a call center (probably in india) , where the person explained to me that I would need to reinstall Windows 7 and upgrade.....bulllllllshit! I advised the lady with the indian accent, who was obviously reading from a script, that I had used the windows upgrade tool that microsoft had provided for performing the upgrade. After some silence from her, and hearing her talking to someone in the background, she told me she would transfer me to someone who could help. When I got to this new department, the useful automated announcement told me that I had at least a 20 minute hold time. Right now I'm still listening to that crappy microsoft jazztastic hold music. This must be where musicians go to die. More after I've escaped from this technological hell. ~update!~ After finally getting to someone else, they told me that the activation servers were completely overloaded and to keep trying. Seems like Microsoft underestimated how much bandwidth they would need for this...figures. Hurry up and wait.

HELLO, FOLKS! It's time for another development update! PHEW... I've been hard at work adding various new systems to the game in order to make it more enjoyable, as well as polishing up some other things that needed bugfixing for some time now. And I'm glad to say: Demo V0.2.0 has finally been released! There is A LOT to unpack in this new release, so I'll make it very brief ( I am writing this at midnight, after all; I need to go to bed soon! ): *** NEW IN THIS UPDATE *** - Removed the music from the previous release and replaced it with the enhanced Golden Sun soundtrack from the games alpha, due to our composer having left the project. - Re-balanced the EXP system. - Added the alchemy system! - Added an "Options" menu with various settings to adjust! - Added the first handful of Equestria zones, including the first part of the San Palomino Desert and the Equality Shrine! - Added Lightning Storm as a party member! - Added the Power Orb system! - Added 2 additional equipment slots: One extra Accessory slot and a special slot for Power Orbs! - Added the "Special" and "Summon" tabs to the Magic menu. - Reworked the Ember Pony into a melee-based damage class. - Readjusted the stats of the seven player classes and the monsters to fix a few issues found in the previous demo build. - Fixed a few glitches related to skills. - Rewrote the descriptions of the seven classes on the startup menu. - Several other changes and minor bug fixes. Always remember, if you encounter any bugs in the newest build of the game, let me know right away so I can patch them out! This will very likely be the FINAL demo release before the full game comes out. So enjoy all the new stuff! See you on the flip side, everypony!

Hello friends, our update to 1.13.2 is finally here! So those of you who have not had your build saved for the transfer need to put the co-ords in this thread for staff. Example: x:12000 y:100 z:12000 You can find your co-ords by pressing F3. Some of you may have to press the "Fn" key while pressing F3 if it has more than one use on your keyboard. A minimum of 1000 blocks from spawn is allowed for transfers. Make sure you mark your build accordingly! WE WILL BE ALLOWING YOU TO TRANSFER ITEMS TO THE NEW WORLD! PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT ALL YOUR ITEMS NEED TO BE IN YOUR HOUSE. WE WILL /NOT/ MOVE FROM MULTIPLE HOUSES. Regarding heads- I don't think they'll transfer as the head they are. If you've got a large number of heads, please select 5-10 of your favorites! I unfortunately can't replace all of them, but will cycle them all through the shops again at discounted prices! (You're also welcome to try transfering them in a chest, no guarantees! In the past it's been VERY fickle.) One build means one! A build is considered one structure A build has a block limit of 1 million blocks (non negotiable) Underground builds will not be transferred due to underground block clutter If your build has a basement, we're only allowing a depth of 10 blocks If you try to lower the terrain level around you, we'll use the average height for that biome as our "surface height" A build is NOT an entire town Your build must be clearly marked on how you wish to have to moved; if you fail to mark it clearly, then your request to have your build move may be denied You must show an indication that you have reached the co-ordinates on the 1.13.2 map, like a sign or structure. X- ANY PERSON CAUGHT CLAIMING A BUILD TO MOVE THAT DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM, WILL LOSE TRANSFER RIGHTS X- THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE SPAWNERS THEY WILL NOT BE TRANSFERRED. NO EXCEPTIONS. X- WE WILL NOT TELEPORT YOU OUT TO YOUR NEW HOME LOCATION YOU WILL NEED TO TRAVEL THERE YOURSELF. X- WE WILL NOT TRANSFER MOB GRINDERS This is how the red wool should be marked: We thank you for your continued cooperation and hope to see you in 1.13.2 with us! Note:Please only comment with the information regarding the transfer like this: Hello there! IGN:Perish_Song I would like to transfer my house @ 12345 100 -12345 to -26354 89 26432 (PLEASE NOTE NEW SERVER IS NOT UP YET. AFTER IT OPENS YOU WILL NEED TO COME BACK AND PUT THE NEW COORDS IN THE TO AREA. ) Thanks! Please be patient!

Hello, folks! After careful consideration, I've decided to start this special blog specifically for the purpose of following Maradice Isle's ongoing development! The game's come quite a ways since it all began, but it's still got a LOOOOOONG way to go! Here's to hoping we can have it done before 2021 arrives! But with an RPG of this scale... that's pretty unlikely. Anywho, before I go off on a tangent, I would like to detail some of the things that have been accomplished with the game recently. There's a lot to cover here, so settle in. ** 1. UPDATED MENUS ** A lot of changes have been made to how the menus handle. The one change you'll notice right off the bat is that the option to quit the game was replaced with a new "OPTIONS" menu. This is something that doesn't come naturally with RPG Maker VX Ace, so scripts had to be used to get this to work. The options menu handles pretty much how you'd expect: You can adjust the window color, change the music, background sounds, or sound effect volume levels, and even turn on "Auto-Dash", eliminating the need to hold down the run button to move quicker. Also, an option to have text boxes load instantly, or one letter at a time, as well as an option to skip battle animations during battle is in there, too, for those who want to speed up the game during those grind-heavy moments. Another change that was made was changing how character equipment handles. Not only has the equipment menu been changed completely, there are now TWO extra equipment slots. One for another accessory, and one dedicated to Power Orbs, special collectables that grant you new abilities when you find them across Equestria. These alone will encourage you to explore every nook and cranny to try and get all 56 ( 8 for each of the 7 classes ). Speaking of Power Orbs... ** 2. POWER ORBS & SUMMONS ** The Seven Seers had access to vast amounts of power thanks to the 56 Power Orbs they all carried during their adventures 5,000 years ago. However, when the big battle with Strange Tidings occurred, the Orbs got misplaced and eventually wound up in what would become Equestria, going into hibernation. With the arrival of the four player characters, and thanks in part to the Seers Awakening Call, the Orbs, and the Essences that live within them, are beginning to awaken again, and now it's up to the player, should they choose to do so, to explore all across the kingdom and find the 56 Power Orbs. And believe me, you WANT to go out of your way to find these babies! Each time you get one, you can equip it to one of your characters to give them some minor stat bonuses. But in addition to that, every time you find a Power Orb, you'll unlock a new "Summon" to add to your characters list of attacks. In addition to this, collecting a specific amount of Power Orbs ( for example, 1 Frost and 1 Ember ) will unlock some Special Summons of increased power. All of this is activated by using the "SP" meter, making it useful for more then just activating Ultimate's when it's full. Some Power Orb abilities inflict status conditions on the enemy, some can restore MP to the party when used. And there's even a couple that allow you to almost completely resist the damage dealt to the party on that turn! So for those of you playing along at home, FIND THOSE POWER ORBS!! You'll be kicking yourself later if you don't. Here's a little party favor for you: The moment you enter the main overworld of Equestria ( after leaving the San Palomino Desert ), you'll be stopped by the first Frost Power Orb, Frostbite, who's Essence will proceed to show you the ropes on how to use Power Orbs properly. So in case your worried that you'll be struggling to figure out how they work, worry not, because that's not the case here. And if you already do know how to handle them, there is an option to skip this tutorial. Those of you who need a refresher course on Power Orbs later down the road can always refer to the Playing Manual in the Key Items tab. Aren't you glad you got that thing at the start of the game? Oh, and for those of you with short-term memory issues, which I assume would be a fair amount of you, you can check out what Orb's you've found in the "Power Orbs" tab of the items menu. ** 3. THE FIRST SHRINE ** Somewhere in the San Palomino Desert, you will come across the first of the seven shrine's that will be in the game. These shrines offer up unique equipment when you complete them, but be forewarned: They are not for the faint of heart. Everytime you find a shrine, you'll likely be met with the following: Unique monsters not seen elsewhere in the game. Multiple trials to complete in order to reach the end. A Guardian that will challenge you to a VERY intense fight for possession of the shrine's treasure. Upon entering a Shrine and approaching the huge door that bars access to the central chamber, you'll notice a sign on the wall that reads as following: "If you do not wish to die here, your objective is quite clear. In order to secure this treasure's might, make each orb shine with a brilliant light. Take note, brave one, for though you are strong, you'll soon regret it if your answers are WRONG." Branching off the main hub of each shrine, you'll find four rooms, each containing a trial. Some will challenge your knowledge of the Seven Seers and their stories, while others will simply be gauntlets of enemies you must defeat to progress. One of my favorite ones is where your guiding a power sphere past red orbs to the other end of the room. It's certainly quite entertaining. And those who REALLY like this mechanic can look forward to getting to Ponyville, since there will be an arcade machine somewhere where you can play this little mini-game again. However, as the warning above might imply, some of these trials don't take kindly to incorrect answers. If you get the answer to some of these challenges wrong, you'll have to fight a battle in order to try again. And at lower levels, the enemies you'll face might just mop the floor with your tails. As you complete a shrine's trials, four orbs on either side of the large door in the main hub will light up. When all four have been lit, the door will open, and you'll be granted access to the final chamber, where the shrine Guardian awaits... In this first shrine, the Guardian just so happens to be a Tatzlwurm, armed with Equality spells that will keep you on your hooftips for the entire battle. These spells include, but are NOT limited too: Power Blade: Boosts the bosses attack power, allowing him to hit you even harder. Sandstorm: Deals damage to the entire party, on top of having a chance to blind them, wrecking havoc on their accuracy with physical attacks. This ability can throw the battle into even further chaos. Tower Shield: Technically a Frost spell, but the boss can use this to boost his defense. Mystery Ponies armed with "Force Opening" can easily carve through his defenses. Yeah, this guy's not exactly a picnic. On top of this, he actually gets STRONGER the more shrine's you've cleared. So for example, if this is the first shrine you've ever tackled, then his HP is only 2,900, and his attack power is pretty moderate. He can still be trouble, but he's manageable if you play it right. HOWEVER, if you waited until the very end to tackle this shrine, and you've finished all the other ones, this guys HP gets cranked up to a ridiculous 27,000, and his attack power is almost x7 what it was before, and all of a sudden, you've got a VERY intense fight on your hands! Add on the fact that he'll be granted more power Equality spells once I've programmed them in, and you will definitely need to bring your A-game in order to come out alive! All these stat values are subject to change in the future, but it goes without saying: Shrine Guardians get more powerful the more shrine's you've cleared. So before you go marching into that shrine you just found, try tor remember just how many shrine's you've already done, and consider the possibility that you may need to level up a little more before you can tackle that next one. So, what kind of loot are we talking about here? Well, aside from the few treasure chests you'll find scattered around the shrine as you explore it, there's also the items the boss might drop, which include stat-boosting items. But it's the treasure they were guarding that we're all here for. These unique items grant extra-powerful benefits to the player when equipped. One of these items enables dual-wielding of 2H weapons, allowing your Ember Ponies to do some serious damage with their physical attacks! One doubles magic damage power, but cuts physical attack power in half, which would work great on a Thunder Pony! But perhaps the best one out of them all: THE GOLDEN CHALICE, which eliminates random encounters altogether when equipped! It's unknown which shrine this beauty will be put in, but it's a safe bet that most players will skip over all the other shrines and go for this one first, because who doesn't want to be able to explore the world without random encounters getting in the way? GRANTED, it won't save you from Monster-In-A-Box's, or from boss fights, and whoever is holding it can't use the "FIGHT" command, but it's still the best one out of the bunch. ( Here's a little tip: Those of you who have beaten the demo version of the game can get the Golden Chalice right away by inputting the special code that was given at the end of the demo. ) ** 4. IN CONCLUSION ** Obviously, A LOT has been going on with the game lately. But now that the story has moved into Equestria, it's becoming more and more important that volunteers are brought in to help assist with creating the tilesets needed to bring these locations to life. If you've experience with sprite design and think your up to the task, please join the official development Discord server for the project. Invite code is right here: "VabKgSC". Please note that you must be placed under one of the actual "Roles" within the server in order to see and post messages, so if you see nothing when you join in for the first time, do not be surprised. This was done to keep the "UNDESIRABLES" out of the chat. Hope this blog post has helped to shed some light on what's been going on with the games development. Hope to see you again soon!

'Sup MLP Forums, how are you all doing? For those of you who may already know me, you may already be aware that my site username also happens to be the name of my Ponysona OC (and the name of my Music Channel on YouTube). However, I have started to notice that: 1. It may not make that much sense to use as a male pony name (despite some pony names literally having names that human beings also use, such as Cadence, Octavia, etc.). 2. I honestly feel a little cringy having my Ponysona OC using my real life nickname (and what I also use for personal real life branding), Jonny. It just doesn't sound right and feels out of place. 3. I did not know how to better name my Ponysona OC back then when he "became alive" back in 2014 when I asked someone to create an OC for me. And so because of this, I have been thinking to change my Ponysona OC's name to something else, such as these potential new names I came up with: - Shining Pipe (this might be a good name for my Ponysona OC) [Note, this name was inspired from Shining Armor and the sound producing part of a "pipe" organ] - Silver Pipe (sounds pretty generic to me personally) - Charming Stallion (according to the "Rum & Monkey" Pony name generator, lol) - Wild Pipe (not sure if my Ponysona is "wild" enough for that kind of name, lol) - Tin Pipe (as in the material organ pipes tend to consist of) - Steel Pipe (same as above) - Silver Whistle (Decided officially as the new name) (The last 4 were found/inspired from the My Little Pony name generator from the Fantasy Name Generators) UPDATE! (new names!): - Lucky Pipe - Lucky Whistle (The reason for "lucky" is due to the association the colour green (my OC's coat colour) has with luck)) If you have any name suggestions or if you happen to disagree with my thought of changing the name in any way, please feel free to share your thoughts, I'll be looking forward to them. Also for reference, you'll see an updated image of my OC attached. UPDATE: As of Jan. 19, 2019, my Ponysona OC's name is now "Silver Whistle".

Hello everyone. I hope you had a good Christmas/Hearth's Warming so far. Just wanted to break the news that due to some unforeseen circumstances from my end, that the work on the project will be heavily postponed. My initial plan was to release Fight Scene (MLP IRL) sometime by Q4 2019 (realistically speaking), though due to what I mentioned earlier, that release window may be delayed even more. By how much, I honestly don't know. Reason being is because due to the much bigger vision I have for this next entry in the series, that means that I will need a much bigger budget than I had earlier when I worked on Chat Scene (MLP IRL) back in 2016-2017. I'm not giving up on this at all, just to make that absolutely clear. I'm a man/stallion of my word. Whatever plans I mention to the public, they will happen (unless otherwise specified). Got any questions, feel free to comment below or PM me. Until next time, Have a great Happy Holidays.

Well almost. The title sums up what I was suppose to write at length so this will be short. The shortlist is during that time I graduated from College, applied and got employed. On the right track to become an HR Process Owner for IBM here in the Philippines in the next year or so. Took a turn and sought for companionship along the way. Haven't found that one person yet but a love life is a work-in-progress. Kinda lost my interest for Pony for a bit and mostly the brony crowd. But still interested in the fandom that I still came back to this forum after all these years so that must say something huh. Anyway if nobody even reads this it's alright. I'll still try to come back here from time to time and check out what you good people are talking about in every corner I walk myself into After all I'm still a big old loyal Rarity fan up in here

New Update Vlog regarding what is going on in the world of JonnySel Productions (which Jonny Music is a part of):

I'm back on the MLP forums.....for some time as I'm posting this. I just decided to revisit and "old friend" loaded with a bunch of people I also made friends with on this site. But to all the people who know me on here you might be wondering (or maybe not) "Where did Whirlwind Go"? Well, this blog entry will answer your questions. 1) Life Changes: The obvious response is my life at the moment. I'm currently in a part of life where it's branching off into many different directions. Like the root of a tree, the taproot continues to grow, with supporting roots to make it grow better. For Starters I've been through multiple jobs. I've worked from volunteering at Church to working at two convenient stores for sometime, and currently getting a taste of what I want my career to be. I'm currently an assistant running coach for the intermediate school I went to. It really is an AMAZING place to work at! Helping/coaching kids at the things I Love to do. On the side, I've been laying down various plans to reach my career path and school plans for the future to come. 2) Different forms of communication: For the past year or so, I've been kind of making friends in a different way. I know some of the people reading this found me from different places of social media such as Youtube, Twitter, or even Facebook. But one of the main reasons why I kind of kept my fandom interaction a bit low key was that I would get too distracted with larger community based sites that it would make a change in my behavior in a bad way. It's kinda getting to the point to that I'm falling into a different range of people in this fandom since I make Youtube videos and make music so much. But that being said, I still would pop into EqD or MLP forums just to see whats going on. 3) Music: Piggybacking to what I said in life changes, Music is also making a big change in my life. Not only just by performance or career figures, but also getting involved with different kinds of people. Being a live performer in music and a composer really takes you to different places in this world. I've made friends with local musicians as well as online. The community database for music is ENORMOUS! And that's another reason that made my absence to MLP forums and kind of secluding myself from the brony fandom a bit. Which leads me into the next reason.... 4) New Interests: Yup! aside from music and making youtube videos, I've been finding new hobbies that I've been exploring and getting involved with different communities. I'm INSANELY addicted to physical fitness now. Distance running is my main forms of exercise, but now I'm weight training, mountain bike riding, and sometimes even swimming to challenge myself physically and mentally. I've found a number of people that i've connected with and built friendships through exercise. Another Hobby i'm starting to pick up is photography and modeling. I've been really interested into visual arts lately especially int the photography department. I've been exploring the world and taking pictures that not only look beautiful, but also give emotion. So Uhh yeah.....If you managed to read all of that, then I hope you understand my absence from the mlp forums as well as larger parts of the brony community. One thing that is still true though. I will remain a brony for the rest of my life. But even life offers many different things for your heart to explore. Anyways. Feel free to comment below or ask any questions about me. Thanks guys!

Well, chapter 2 is done, and waiting for proofreading! Now I'm about to start on chapter 3, and after yesterday I'm more than ready to work on a new chapter, what with all the corrections I had to make. For some reason I kept messing RD's dialog - and only hers - that's what was so weird about it, made her sound like she was drunk as hell lol! I mean we had such gems as, "We got fin te uters Rarity!" and lets not forget, "Don't Twilight worry! The cavalry are her!" and the ever memorable, Their Pinkie for it now in!". Seriously, I have NO idea why I couldn't RD with my writing on this one, though I got to admit, now I want to write a scene for Rainbow where she's completely b-snamered off her plot just for the s&g's . Also, because I'm going to have to write some none-English words at some point for my fic, I had to set up an English-international keyboard setting. Care to know how long that took?...2 hours and 44 minutes, of research, setting and resetting my computer, sobbing, screaming and cursing out every deity I could think, and just generally fighting with microsoft...again. I get into it with them at least once a month, and sadly I've got waaaayyyy to much stuff connected to their services to just drop them...and I think they know it, is the worst part, and all just so I could type this, "ö" witch let me tell you - even after all the work I did just to make typing that possible - involves the single most convoluted series of button-input combos just to type that one little letter, that I have ever seen IN MY LIFE, PERIOD!...so...yea...that was fun.... That's (hopefully) all behind me now, so its off to chapter 3 with me, see you next time!

Quick mini update, just a little left on chapter two! I've also just finished updating the prolog chapter with all the tweaks and corrections from proofreading! I may release a little teaser-esque thingy or something prior to publishing the first three chapters, so be on the lookout for that! Till next time!

Progress is coming along nicely, With chapter 2 more than halfway done, and chapter 0 (prolog chapter) nearly through proofreading, I hope to have the first three chapters released within approximately 2 months! Now I know that sounds like a long time (mostly because it is) but I have my reasons. #1 My proofreader (who is very good at their job) has really long, really random hours at their job and only has a limited amount o
