hand drawn artwork: barn building on the left, it's made from rough stone on the bottom, then wood planks on the top. There's a horse hitching post in front. The right half of the image shows a pasture in the background, grass, bushes and trees.

Hand-drawn artwork from Horses of Hoofprint Bay: it shows a barn building from a top-down perspective, with three paddocks full of horses of different colors.

If you're not hearing much from us right now, it's because we're hard at work adding much-needed artwork to Horses of Hoofprint Bay 🥰

Here's a first glimpse at our Stable Stage 3: horse care view on the left and yard overview on the right.

An absolute gem, just look at those hand-drawn animations and unique art-style!!! Can't wait for when it releases 😍

Been playing this non-stop, absolutely cannot wait for the full release 👏🥰

Perhaps the most satisfying sound effect in any game ever 😌

We're very happy to get some shoutouts from the press about our GG Bavaria presence!! But we'd really appreciate it if outlets that include the titles of all other games in their article included ours as well 😅
