Modified screenshot from HAFO (Horse Around, Find Out). A green horse with a clown nose, glasses, red hooves, and white wings fires a purple projectile at a jockey. The Kumite Corner logo ("KC") can be seen in the background.
#KumiteCorner Early Access Episode 6 is... #HAFO! Horse Around, Find Out! - by @mattrified.bsky.social Come watch these horses beat the hay outta jockeys!

If you are at #GDQ in Pittsburgh, #HAFO is playable at the #UnityPGH booth near the @megacatstudios.bsky.social booth in the King's Garden!
I'll be there later in the week in the indie vendor room.
New #HAFO build on itch.io. Updated accessory system and it loads using asset bundles so...yea...whatever, lol.
Try the demo at hafo.horse

Year of the Horse but where is the horse?!
(It's silly I can play the game with the horse invisible)
Toying around with camera angle changes so more of the stage can be visible. I have some ideas to improve but yea. First #HAFO video of 2026!

New #HAFO stage in the works. I think I have my pipeline nearly finalized. I don't "love" the colors of this but fortunately I can edit these within...

New #HAFO stage in the works. I think I have my pipeline nearly finalized. I don't "love" the colors of this but fortunately I can edit these within the texture later. The maxscript saved a ton of friggin' time though...
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #HAFO
UGH!!! I finally fixed #HAFO and the accessory / color system.
Now accessories are dynamically loaded so they all don't have to be on the prefab and can be dynamically recolored.
I sort of wanna redo the idle cause it's annoying...lol

Getting closer to liking this #HAFO stage stuff more and paying for a stock site def. made it faster than RawPixel; however, I think I may cut the 3ds max part and just use Unity's SpriteRenderers...scale is still an issue because it's a faux background though 2...
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
Sometimes i have an idea and it's so stupid and...yea, this is a little graphicdesignismypassion but it's sort of what I'm going for-anyway, here's Foal of God stage for #HAFO, lol
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
I might do a more detailed tutorial for how I'm doing these for my #Patreon this month
Got back to working on #HAFO again FINEIGHLLY...I want to do like "paper cutout" style backgrounds and I think I got something close, but the folding obscures too much between players; I think I want to zoom in the space more, last make things closer together. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
#Neighvember may have hit a snag, but for the 3rd day of this month I'll just ask: what's your favorite horse movie?
Mine's Horse Girl. Does it count? Probably not but I'll take it.
#HAFO
Close to getting accessories to load and unload dynamically for #HAFO using AssetBundles but still not sure I'm doing it right or like should every separate accessory be an asset bundle or should I put them into one big one? The former sounds correct but sounds like it'll be too many...
Have you ever been through the desert on a horse with no mane? For the 2nd day of #Neighvember, here's a quick look at some work I'm doing so manes and tails can be customized more easily in #HAFO.

I'm torn. Wanted to use #Patreon for allowing users to commission things for #HAFO; however, I don't like that you pay first. Like what if someone wants to commission something I can't do and pays already? Hmmm...maybe I just make it a google form? Blech...don't love that either...
A blue cocktail in a glass with orange pumpkins on it.
On this late #Neighvember Eve, I'm enjoying a horse-themed cocktail, a Kentucky Oaks Lily - creative-culinary.com/kentucky-oak... - or at least my own twist of it (Blue Curacao instead of orange liquor)
I'll be making #HAFO related posts all month! Saddle up for Neighvember!
Ok. I am probably not doing a #HAFO #Kickstarter - bad month + too much work - but I still want to do #crowdfunding, so I think I'm going to sell features / parts of the game for supporters to design.
Accessories, attacks, stages, etc. A new thing and I'll see how it goes.
#gamedec #indiedev
If I didn't want to work on #HAFO next month, I feel like I'd want to try and do a Prototypember where I try to do one prototype every month for a type of gameplay I've never really done before.
BUT I feel I would probably need a "base" to fit prototypes into first so they can be actually playable.
Still pretty early, but here's the #HAFO "Poster" editor idea prototyped.
I want to add different fonts, name editor (choose an adjective + a noun sort of thing) and then add an "Icon" that goes somewhere silly.
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
After showcasing #HAFO this weekend, I realized a few things.
1.) Moves should probably always be visible (can maybe turn off
2.) Even simple things probably need prompts like the barrier
Won't solve every problem, but a start.

#HAFO #Steam page is live: store.steampowered.com/app/4105600/...
I'll need to update the page, but I wanted something up for this weekend. I also forgot to say it's gonna start as early access.
Any help to get the word out would be appreciated!
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
It's not my best, wording needs finesse, but I think this #trotorial is pretty good for less than 2 hours, ok?
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #hafo
A button and post card for HAFO.
Some printed materials for the bit bridge halloween showcase Saturday.
Can make more buttons later and shoutouts to @sylviehorse.bsky.social for the #HAFO artwork!
An xbox one controller with different button options and a confused horse underneath.
Just a simple controller layout for a showcase...tbh...I built this *in* Unity and it's sort of sad I'm faster at building something like this in Unity than Photoshop...then again I still use CS4 so...yea...
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #HAFO
Taking #HAFO to a local game showcase Saturday.
It's close to a good setup, but I need a tutorial.
Have an idea but it involves making a video.
So #HAFO is officially coming to #Steam!
I'll have the page up soon for wishlisting since I'm told you should do that early or something.
I wrote a more detailed post on my #Patreon for members: www.patreon.com/posts/holdin...
#HAFO question.
What is one feature you would want to request for this game?
No promises!
Made a lot of progress on #HAFO.
Levels are now procedurally generated and based on how many "challenges" you want done in a race. This video showcases 1 challenge and 3 challenge (you can do up to 30...for now)
#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday
So, #HAFO is coming to steam (eventually)
But unsure if I should call it...
* H.A.F.O.
* HAFO.: Horse Around, Find Out
* Horse Around, Find Out
I feel one of the first two but unsure...thoughts?
