absolutely!! And like yeah okay they're not native speakers, but you have to demonstrate a certain level of commitment to the theme of your game even when you're making it in another language 🙃

the horse gamer community has a lot of goodwill for upcoming games, but if you promise "authentic medieval saddles" in your steam description while using a store-bought horse asset with modern English and Western saddles and refuse to acknowledge genAI use, that goodwill goes poof quite fast

same and the person in question even follows me apparently. distraught at the realization that I'm not loud enough about AI skepticism 😔

Whether or not the two things are actually correlated, it is incredibly funny that Bluesky started experiencing near daily tech fuck ups right after the team started bragging about using vibe coding

I don't think horse gamers would have come at this dev anywhere near as hard about saddle inaccuracy if this were a medieval fantasy game rather than having Simulator in the name and explicitly advertising "authentic medieval saddles" in their steam description

What's particularly ironic about that one is that people might have even forgiven them for that one if they hadn't chosen to put "authentic medieval saddles" into their goddamn steam description 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Like how dumb do these people think this audience is??

VERY pleased at how well this game announcement tiktok did thank you very much

I love that developers without horsie background are exploring the horse game genre but I ALSO think it's hilarious and entirely fair when the horse game community jointly rips asset flippers a new one for obvious attempts at cheap cash grabs incl. genAI use 🥹

our lead voice actress Erica talking about what this game means for her (and how rare it is for her to see her own culture and people represented in non-war-focused video games!!!) is absolutely lovely and heartwarming and I love that my colleagues were able to further showcase her work like this!!!

Has anyone already tried to coin a term for “roguelite mashup of classic arcade or gambling mechanic” games like Balatro, Ball X Pit, Dungeon Clawler, Clover Pit etc?

Should I just come up with something myself?
I WILL be taking suggestions

RMOAGs? RAGMs? Just RAGs for Roguelite Arcade/Gambling?

that's good I like it

HELLO plot twist I have actually been working on a new Barbie horse game the whole time

(as a consultant, but you know what, that counts, and also please note it's actually quite impressive how many unannounced exciting horse game projects I'm aware of and not talking about at any given moment)

I love when I get to do horse game complaining for work

NOW let's see if I get any juicy search traffic from german horse game fans 😌

AHA this worked. it now shows up when I google it 🎉🎉🎉

Posting it on reddit (even just to my own profile) might help as well I figure

screenshot of the (just-updated) home page of The Mane Quest, featuring the sections "Horse Game 101", "Support", "Newsletter" and now new, a section called "Sprichst du Deutsch?"

I added a brief note and a link to it on the home page, let's see if this motivates google to index it properly.

die seite generell funktioniert also auch bei der SEO, nur die deutsche Unterseite noch nicht ^^
