Battle Gem Ponies DevLog #51 (Bug Squashin')

School's out and I'm free to code my head off. 
     I'm spending winter break with my Dad, older brothers, and nieces so instead of the usual 3 hour drive home to Mom and little bro, I got to fly to Florida and not shovel snow all December. Too bad I missed the flight and had to pay an extra $75 for another. The very same week my bookkeeping service needs to be renewed and school tuition is due.

     Basically, money is tighter than ever and I really wish Battle Gem Ponies was complete right now. Despite the setbacks and crippling debt my family has complete confidence in me. I promised them 45,000 copies sold before I move out and I'm going to live up to that!

1st Senior Semester Complete (Winter Break Crunch)


     School is finally over... For now. I survived these finals, but they were easy compared to what's next. One last semester with 6 more classes to tackle, then I'm home free. No more of this school stuff slowing me down. I'll be starting my full-time development schedule and keep it going until I return to school in January.

Look out for some cool stuff on the Yotes Games Twitter and Facebook as I ramp up development throughout December.

Battle Gem Ponies DevLog #50 (Halfway There!)

I just got Clover the Cloaked in plush form!
Yotes Team Mascot ftw!
     As of tomorrow night, I'm done with the semester and putting the first half of my senior year behind. So super close to finally being full-time dev! Also, I got my very own plush of Clover from Unicorn Training! Thought I'd never see this until Adventures in Equica became a modestly popular series. A super great surprise gift.

    Get an eyeful of this plush masterpiece and see what games I've tried to port to Windows Phones this week below the page break! This gamedev week has been a good one.

BGP Battle Items (Part 3/3)

RPG Maker
     All 75 equipable items are finally out there for the world to see. I'm keeping things pretty simple for this first game, but will definitely try to come up with much crazier (riskier) stuff to load up ponies with. Possibly even items designed for specific team match-ups.

     This will be the final Battle Items post (unless more are added way later in development). Check out the remaining 25 below the page break. (Part 1, Part 2)
