Cutie Mark Crusade Video Preview

Cutie Mark Crusade Video Preview



The fellows at Manestream Games have released a video update of their upcoming project, Cutie Mark Crusade:A Dash of Adventure. This update showcases Fluttershy's Cottage, as well as the music that will play inside it. It's not much, but I thought it'd be worth posting.

MLP:Rise of Vicis

MLP:Rise of Vicis

MLP:Rise of Vicis

Another MLP:FiM game in early development has recently popped up, and for once it isn't an RPG! From what I've seen so far, it a ppears to be a platformer in a very early state, and in need of a couple team members too. As a matter of fact, if I were the developers I wouldn't show it off in it's current state, but it's their game, and they can do what they want with it. The developers also accept suggestions, and you can give them feedback and helpful, constructive criticism at http://mlpriseofvicis.webs.com/gotideas.htm.

Anyways, check out a video preview and a couple of screenshots after the break.

Domain Host Transfer - Transfer Complete

Domain Host Transfer - Transfer Complete

Well, the domain transfer was 100% successful!

The site will continue as it has been.

If you're curious why I changed, read after the break.



I don't want to go too into detail with this, but basically..
Eqestriagaming.com was registered with Godaddy, and Godaddy is pro-SOPA.

SOPA would essentially destroy this website, Equestria Daily, youtube, and pretty much everything else you guys love. THAT is why I'm against it.

I won't say any more that that. This post will likely be deleted soon enough as well.
That's all! Equestria Gaming

Between Dusk and Dawn Demo

Between Dusk and Dawn Demo

Download it Here!
Yet another pony RPG - "MLP Between Dusk and Dawn" is in the works, and its creator, Kaijyuu, has decided to release this demo to show off the custom game engine and generate some interest for the game. All the animations are placeholde rs and the game in general is in a very early state, but even so, this demo is spectacular in nearly all facets.

This is already a very fun and well made game, in my opinion, but it's going to get much much better. The creator, a brilliant programmer, needs some assistance with spriting, background art, sound, etc. The stuff in the game now is mainly placeholder, but with the help of some skilled bronies, I'm sure will look amazing. You can find out more about how to help at the Forum Thread, and or the Ponychan Thread. Read more about the demo itself after the break!

The overarching gameplay of Between Dusk and Dawn is reminiscent of many RPG's. You walk around a map, and when you encounter an enemy, you drop into battle, where you can use your abilities to defeat any f oe. You traverse the map, in this case, with Twilight Sparkle. As soon as you come across an enemy, say a Parasprite, you get whisked away to the battle interface.

The battles are where this game definitely gets creativity points. Your party as of this first demo consists of Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Applejack (you'll be able to customize your party in later versions). The control set is fully customizable and very intuitive. All you need to do is select your character, choose your move, something that can be accomplished with one key or a combination of two - a left arrow modifier allows for specialty attacks, and a right arrow modifier accesses the regenerative moves.

Parasprites beware
There is music in the game as well, although some of it has been confirmed to be placeholder. The main menu music is very fitting, aside from also being an amazing song: All-Powerful Trixie, by the one and only Not a Clever Pony. The full list of music and artists is included in the readme.txt in the download.

Between Dusk and Dawn already has many of the elements of a good RPG; fun and unique battles, character upgradability, useful items, etc. Many, many more are on the way as well. You can tell it's still an early work in progress - there 's an enemy called the Money Spider which is easy to kill and gets you millions of bits and millions of experience points for testing. With some graphical assistance and a lot of hard work, this game could be at the absolute forefront of pony gaming, and I have no doubts that it will be eventually.


Bonus points if you manage to defeat the showoff boss for the demo (Atma, from Final Fantasy).

Equestria Jukebox

Equestria Jukebox

Equestria Jukebox >>>

 Despite the infamous Pony Creator utility being the most commonly-used of, well, pony creators, there are still a fair amount of people who prefer the Pony Avatar Creator demo for various reasons (even if its pony model looks a bit off, and it doesn't have a really wide variety of manes or accessories). The creator could have kept it in its current state and simply added more stuff, but it seems he has other plans for it and is in the process of transforming it into a full-fledged web service called Equestria Jukebox, with chat rooms and whatnot.

 Will this take off? We'll see once the open alpha comes out, but in the meantime you can find an exclusive sneak peak of the service below the break.




 From what I've gathered, the pony creation ser vice will be available to all, although users will have to sign up to have access to some of the more advanced features such as joining/creating chatrooms.

The tutorial screen for Equestria Jukebox.

 Upon signing up users will be given a quick tutorial on the site's usage or something. The Youtube player from the ori ginal app has been carried over to this new version, allowing the owner to cycle through music tracks and whatnot while people chat about stuff. User avatars will also be automatically generated from the OCs that they create with the site, which is pretty neat I guess.

A typical screenshot of Equestria Jukebox.

...Come to think of it, this is a lot like Lunasync but with OCs instead of Luna.


 The homepage has a list of currently active, password-free rooms. In the future Lexuzieel is planning on implementing playlist voting so rooms may still be active while the group's owner is away. Yep, there's totally no way this can go horribly wrong...


 And now we've come to the feature everybody cares about the most: the pony editor. Users of the service's predecessor should feel right at home, and will probably be quite pleased once more manes/accessories are added. This time around the Lexuzieel apparently has some people to help him make these, so hopefully the project wo n't stagnate in quite the way that the Pony Avatar Creator did.


 In a way I almost wonder if Equestria Jukebox really needs to be this big, frankensteinian web service instead of just a pony creation utility, or exactly how Lexuzieel plans on getting the money for hosting this, but we'll get to that once the open alpha has been out for a while. Lex is also looking for translators or something so the site will be accessible to a wider audience, so if you're interested you could contact him via his steam account (Lexuzieel) or his Skype account, alexrurm.

New Favicon!

New Favicon!

Well, I've been working on the site lately, fixing small errors and things like that, when suddenly I realized that we don't  have a favicon.

So...here it is!


Please note that this is not final, and may be replaced later. I also plan on updating the site's banner; as it's getting rather old. You can email me submissions if you wish. Equestria Gaming
