Updated BGP Demo Release Schedule

     With June's delays accounted for, the Spring 2016 release date still seems possible, but the demo releases are thrown out of whack. There is only time for one public demo before BronyCon 2015 and features once intended for the convention will not be available until a number of weeks after.

Below the break you can find a modified version of the BGP demo release schedule.


As always, everything is subject to change in game development.

·  Mid July - Pre-Alpha V2: 

·  6 ponies, a limited selection of moves, and basic battle features, all nicely animated.

The big BronyCon demonstration.
