I decided to start fresh with my current assets (Again). This will be the fourth time I started this game over but bear with me. I have an explanation this time.

Something about the project had me typing into a brick wall and the game was extremely clunky. So with a fresh start I have a more focussed and organized idea. Not to mention the program updated with new features again and its honestly best to keep up.

I decided that the game would no longer be about you visiting Ponyville for the first time but rather the changes to Ponyville over the years. Even if we get a new season I want this to be a game taking place from seasons 1 - 8 really focusing on seasons 7 and 8.Before you get excited, you’re skipping the majority of that. 

So what do I mean? I want to adapt a premise that many games haven’t really tried. It’s not that much different from the original story but the way characters interact with you is mostly changed because of this.

The new story is relatively the same with some changed details. As I said, its no longer about you visiting Ponyville for the first time. It’s about you moving away. Your family is leaving town to go far far away where you’ll continue your schooling and career. This is before any of the Mane Six even meet. You have Pinkie Pie giving you a farewell party, you can see some of the others around town and Twilight Sparkle hasn’t even appeared in town yet. You take the train and leave and time skips ahead several years later. The same plot happens where you somehow lose your cutie mark, have to adventure through dangerous lands to return to Ponyville where you’re directed to get help from the Mane Six. And so your quest is about solving the mystery (or not) while hanging around with the characters in the show. Making friends, finding love, learning about the towns changes and even delving into it’s past to uncover all the secrets.

With this change the game becomes more about celebrating the shows long run time and various characters instead of being set in the past. It allows you to explore various routes and do several different things.

Now this may sound extremely ambitious for someone like me which is why I’m going to at least try to update every Saturday. The day an MLPFIM episode is supposed to air. Even if the update is small I want to keep you all posted. I’m considering also uploading unfinished versions so you can all see what’s happening and how its coming along instead of just waiting with bated breath.

So apologies but I believe this change will be for the better and to be honest I didn’t even get past the welcoming party in the other game anyway. 

Now I was going to upload my progress ANYWAY so you can see how far I didn’t get but the file is on my old harddrive. So if people really want to see it I’ll get it up.
