Leaking Early Code Of The Pony Fighting Game Is Not Magic
To call My Little Pony: Fighting is Magic a fan-made game is doing the tremendous effort by the Mane6 development team a great disservice. They’ve assembled an amazing team of programmers, animators, artists and musicians. They’ve recruited amateur voice actors. They’ve shown the game at the EVO 2012 Fighting Championships. What they are doing, really, is making a fully-realised retail-quality fighting game that they can never, ever make money on.
My Little Pony E3 Would Have Been A Fine E3 Indeed
You know what was missing from E3 2012? The same thing that’s been missing from E3 for the past couple of years: My Little Pony. YouTuber LeFrenchBrony envisions an E3 where Reggie Fils-Amie took the stage at Nintendo’s E3 presser and was met by the deafening sound of thousands of stomping hooves.
While the Friendship is Magic series has failed to generate a big budget title from a major publisher, it has indie bronies far and wide galloping to their computers to create unique titles based on these beloved characters. There’s a kart racer, a Phoenix Wright homage, a couple of role-playing games, and even a one-on-one fighting game complete with voice acting and more polish than many retail products.
There’s a real passion for ponies among this lot, but more importantly, these titles serve to demonstrate that the gaming community has gotten to a point where if you make us wait too long, we’ll just make the damn games ourselves. Brohoof!
