At least you're making some progress. It's your time to shine like rainbows! 

As silly as it sounds, I wish I was jobless. If not job, I'd totally have the demo, that would cover the whole two first episodes done by now. That would mean having the systems (menus/battles etc.) almost done, so it would be going only better at that point...
However, I'm where I am now, which is - having not much done. *sigh*
If nothing will change, I'll start questioning, if there's any point in pushing that forward... Real life "sucks" indeed, as not always it decides to cooperate.  

That being said, for me it's not even a brick wall, but the whole brick prison.

Good games are worth waiting for. Take your time with it.

Thanks, I'm really looking forward to be able to spend some time on development.

To be honest if you need any story ideas I could cover you on that plus I've got a really good Easter egg idea that involves my OC showing up in the game if you do a certain thing.

Maby even my OC might be featured in the game as a secret Easter egg character.

Actually a help may come in handy from time to time - I'll be announcing that kind of stuff when the right time will come.  

As for OC's - I may add some extra (non-canon) locations, to cover RPG elements better, so there's that possibility, that some OC's will come in handy there. I'll be able to provide more information in future.

Don't feed the trolls.  Report and ignore instead.
Otherwise he'll clog this thread with improper content.

Thank you  I also hope it will..

That may be possible, as I said before.  Though still... all of this is still subject to change, so I can't really say much at the moment.

Heya! It's been a while and while I would've liked to see more progress, greatness cannot be rushed. I'd offer my help but I can't do too much since I'm tied up with so many other projects, on top of well, life. Although if you need any small trinkets of code, feel free to ask! That is assuming you're using gamemaker. I remember that correctly, right?

Hey!  

I'm afraid you won't be able to see much of progress in the near future. The reason is, that I'm still working on requests, though I'm almost done with these, so I think I should be able to get back to the project within a month; max two. (Heh, that would be a maximum of week if not the job... )
Now where I'll get stuck will be sprites- I'll have to design 8-dimension sprites with various animations (idle; trotting; galloping, as well as battle animations), so I suspect, that it will take me some time considering, that my job doesn't leave me much of free time.

I'm really afraid, that it will take me years and... that I'll disappoint all of you.

As for coding - I'm pretty sure I'll need some help there - not even with coding complex stuff, but just about approaching things, as I'm not sure how Game Maker will react to things, that I was doing with the other language. Though I'm recognizing the functions and stuff - I'm not sure how all of that exactly works from technical point of view. That being said- thank you for offering, I'll be sure to ask you for advice/help.  ~And yes, you remember that correctly.  

 

I'll be updating you when I'll finally get back to this project.

We're fine with waiting, mate, nobody's forcing you:D Take your time, just don't give up on the project, that's all. Best of luck.

Okay, I have to say, I've looked at many other attempts at Pony RPGs before, but apart from Super Lesbian RPG none of them were very fun or interesting or even well made. This, however, has not only peaked my interest, but has me hyped! I'm looking forward to when it's complete.

[Rikifive 24,125]

Happy to hear that! 

I hope you'll not be disappointed! I really do...

Dude/gal... I have been working on TBOF for 3yrs now in fact as of october it will be 4yrs! The key thing is that you make a mlp fan game becuase YOU WANT TO, I know how hype for your game can make you feel like YOU MUST WORK ON IT but if you overdo it, you not only burn yourself out but you could potentially rush something that if you took your time with, would have come out so much better if you had paced yourself. You are(as far as I know) a one person dev team making a FULL GAME, we don't have an entire team working on code, storyline eventing, or extra features, we are doing this all by ourselves!(Well, I have hired help but its not cheep!)

Point is, work at your own pace and don't feel as though everyone's hype is like Rarity telling you:

That's true- I perfectly know what you mean and thanks.  
Though it's not even about promises or rushing things - I'm just worried about that project myself, as job successfully blocks me there. While I know it's not dead, it's not really active either.  Ah, I just wish I could work on the game on daily basis, just like when I was jobless back then.  I keep thinking of things I could make (literally that's what I'm often doing when I'm at work), but can't really get into them (when I finally have some free time). Having free time divided into parts makes it harder to stay motivated, but I'm looking forward for that to change.

 

Thank you for your kind words and support.  I really want to make it real and I'll do my best to find a solution.

Hopefully it will not be 1000 years.

Looking Forward with the game!, i wanna already Play it! :3.

Good Luck.

Okay, finally I could get back to this project!  

I got back to sprites and... I've managed to notice, that it will take ages! 

Currently I'm working on Twilight Sparkle and .. oh it will really take ages.
Today I was working on the [ ↓ ]| Down ] sprite (the one to the very right) and it took me hours and hours.. I'm terrible at this, I know.

Firstly, I blindly drew the shape to somewhat get the correct proportions relative to the other sprites; Then, I've used Twilight Sparkle figurine I have as a reference to get the correct perspective and adjust things properly, though it didn't give perfect results in the pixel environment.  -So, I've did some changes by myself to make it look correct. Finally, I admit I've looked up for some references to see how it should look like and what could be improved in my sprite- then moved pixels here and there doing SCIENCE.  -err- trying things by trial and error, that is. 

 

So.. this is what I have so far:

By the way, I can't imagine animating all of this. .. and then doing the same for all those ponies... Considering how long it took me to complete the MCM gifts, I'm reeeeeeaaaally worried about this. What I've got myself into... I honestly don't think I'll be able to handle this.  Welp, small steps, small steps. Gotta be patient. Hopefully I'll get this done before 2025.  Aww I wish I was jobless! 

 

I hope it looks acceptable so far!

Now I need to make the rest two and then start animating this... Heh, it can't be that bad, can it? 

[StrawCherry 1,673]

Oh, so you're the one with this game! Seeing your first post, I've seen your work around when I was looking for My Little Pony RPG maker stuff. I might actually have used your sprites... Don't worry, though. I'm not someone that actually finishes a game, so I'm purely using stuff for my own entertainment.  I have looked at your work though for inspiration, but I'm very impressed with what you managed to create on the RPG Maker engine. I could never do that. Super excited to see what you're working on and how it's going to go!

[Rikifive 24,125]

Yep! Blame everything on me! Just kidding!   Hmm, now that's interesting- no worries anyway!  ~Though I think, that what you saw or used was probably not mine, as I didn't post many things.  Either way, I'm really happy to hear, that you found that inspiring!

Why, thank you! But, oh, don't say that; With time, patience and practice you totally could do the same.  At the beginning I also thought, that it's too complicated and I'll not achieve anything, but after hundreds of failures I got somewhere. So.. if I can do something, everybody can.  

I'm really glad to hear that, thank you for your kind words.
