A new development update is here! Last one of the year.
Lots to celebrate as the year of BGP's launch comes to a close. But there's so much content yet to come that we feel like things have only just started!
Head on over to Patreon to get the details on progress as of December 2024, plans for 2025, and screenshots of the lovely places you'll get to explore in Act 1 a few months from now.
Another big bug fixing patch for Battle Gem Ponies has arrived!
And you can still find the game and all its social media channels on the YotesMark Linktree!
This one finally addresses the biggest issue with the mobile build noted in many reviews. Those darn touch controls! You can now reposition, resize, and adjust the sensitivity of the virtual joystick to make overworld movement more comfortable. 📱
Starting today, you can listen to the Battle Gem Ponies soundtrack as often as you like on YouTube! 🎶
Check out the brand new YotesMusic channel and Subscribe for more surprise music drops on your Home page ~ 🎵
Android users, rejoice! The holdup has ended and Battle Gem Ponies is yours to download.
📲 Go and get BGP on the Google Play Store!! 🎮
And be sure to leave your thoughts in the reviews after playing! (We get to see your feedback and the game gets boosted in the store when you do.)

If you haven't heard, Battle Gem Ponies finally came out yesterday!
And you can find every link ever for it on the BGP Linktree!
Players quickly let us know about some brutal bugs that snuck their way into release. But now we've SQUASHED the biggest ones and still have the rest already on our radar.
Get details on how launch is going below.
It's finally out, guys. You can download the long awaited Battle Gem Ponies on Windows, iOS, Android, Mac, Linux, and even Amazon Tablets!
You can check out the Launch Trailer on YouTube (it premiered in the 2024 Monster Taming Direct this morning) if you wanna hype yourself up even more!
Every backer has been sent the download keys ordered since the Kickstarter began 3 years ago. (And if ANY of you are having trouble redeeming them, reach out to Tony Yotes!)
I won't bog things down with paragraphs today, just get to playing! And leave your thoughts in comments and reviews, we want to read every single one!
We've got big plans for marketing efforts and look forward to announcing a definitive release date soon.

Approaching the final few issues between this demo and launch day...
Play the Early Access Beta!
#BattleGemPonies Sunday Beta Update, as promised! 🎮 (And some new goodies too! 🛍️)
The Battle Gem Ponies Beta is here!! 🤩🎆
And you can play it on Itch.io right now! (Password for access is on the locked Patreon post if you're a $10+ donor and wanna claim your key.)
Or just take a gander at the update highlights below.
In short, we're 1 more meetup away from having a Beta build ready. But that meetup won't be until June 15th because the entire team has personal life stuff to deal with.
And even after a Beta is out there in backer's hands, the bugs and gameplay flaws found in it need to be addressed. So at least another 10 days of work there, plus a marketing campaign for the countdown to launch day so people actually know it's finally coming out.
We're basically a month behind schedule. (A sentence I'm extremely sick of saying...)
Details about what's going on with development are on the BGP Patreon!

Your BGP Adventure kicks off with meeting the young Professor Bucky of Equestrian Labs.
Which then leads into a hunt for the 6 Alpha Ponies roaming the regional outpost. Find them all, and trigger a showdown against the villainous Paragon Cartel who are out on a hunt of their own...
------
And in related big news, the release plan for the final game has changed!
BGP will now be releasing in 4 parts throughout the year (seasonal style) starting with the prologue "Arrival Story" coming by the end of this month [May 2024].
At launch you'll be able to play this smaller chapter and get in at a discount ($5 on mobile) before Act I of the "Mane Adventure" comes along by the end of Summer, raising the price to a full $10.
Act II and Act III will be released months later as free content updates. And there are plans, but not promises, to also release a PC version on Steam this year.
You can find all our social links and download portals on the YotesMark Linktree
We're happy to finally hand over hours and hours of fun new gameplay to the community and can't thank everyone enough, especially the backers, for the patience our team is graced with. The hurdles, setbacks, and long nights over the years will all be worthwhile when this love letter to the brony fandom hits the gaming world.
Hope you enjoy all the awesome stuff we jam-packed into this little ponymon game!

Hey all!
We're cutting it pretty close with the monthly update deadline here, but that's because we wanted to come 'atcha with GREAT news.
And we did it: ALPHA is HERE!! 🎊
Hey guys! Feels like it's been a long while and a short one at the same time. (Maybe sitting at a desk for 12+ hours a day is finally warping my mind 😵💫, but we'll deal with that after launch.)
This month's devlog is coming in so late because I intended on announcing a playable Alpha alongside it. But unfortunately, there's still at least 2 weeks worth of stuff to be done, so we're gonna miss the mark a little. Catch more details on that below.
Never appreciated the true tedious chaos of labeling and connecting doors together until this week. 🫨
As of the 15th of January, it's officially the end of Map Month!
It's officially the end of Map Month! That means ALL the maps are IN the game! 🌟
Foundations are set for all 600+ maps you'll be exploring once the game comes out. 🗺️
Final total map count being 209 areas split into 616 loadable rooms...
Check out a few exclusive preview examples and take a peek at what's going into each of them on the latest Patreon Devlog Update
