The player characters are looking so lively today thanks to some new animations! #BattleGemPonies #PixelArt #ScreenshotSaturday
Someone wrote an article chronicling the development of my ponymon game #BattleGemPonies! 📰
Such a strange nostalgic feeling to see the past #gamedev decade summed up like this.

2015 Overworld Dreams:
This is the PowerPoint slide I made to hype myself up when dreaming about turning my little #BattleGemPonies fangame prototype into a fully explorable world.
Looking back, I can confirm, the game has all those biomes in a playable state right now.
Can't believe I drew this Pokémon fangame map on graph paper in high school instead of paying attention in class... And now, over a decade later, it's the region for my indie game #BattleGemPonies with actual players running around on their own adventures!
Gather around, everyone! 💎
The #BattleGemPonies Act1 Alpha Playtest Build is LIVE on Itch!
So if you're a Patreon member and a fan of playing early builds of games full of fun new places to explore (and bugs) then there's a new build with your name on it! 🌟
Hope my game's trio lives up to the standards being set today. 🔥💧🌿 #BattleGemPonies

When you defeat a shiny, glimmering, uniquely colored pony in the wild, it drops a special item that allows you to change the color of any single pony you choose...

There are SO many ponies in this Professor intro cutscene 😂 #screenshotsaturday
We really wanted to show off the variety during the first impression and introduction to the world of #BattleGemPonies! 🐴💎
Well, this household certainly got a little prettier over time. 🍵

One of the most common lower level Status attacks in #BattleGemPonies is Death Glare.
It's pretty powerful too, especially early on when stats are all small numbers and GP is most precious. #pokemon #mlp #rpg
In the #BattleGemPonies Arrival Story, Alpha ponies will appear after you've caught their base form. Come back to these same spots in the postgame and you may find new Alphas of the other local species in the area.
(As well as Alphas of the 3 starters...)
Here's a mysterious bug that's persisted for years. Gotta figure out what tells the Tsunami particle effect to bounce off enemies like that. And why it only happens SOMETIMES. 🌊

#BattleGemPonies is gaining new features fast, but we really need to take time to play with them thoroughly because the softlocks and crashes are way too abundant.

Every attack in #BattleGemPonies is made up of a series of particle effects. ✨
This ones a spinning glob being lobbed!

We started with a very Gen3-esque #pokemon art style for the human characters, but ended up going with a more Gen 4 "Powerpuff" look.
Allows for more expressive faces this way! 😄

In #BattleGemPonies we use a Threat Level indicator to gauge the power of ponies in the wild. #indiegame #ScreenshotSaturday
