Twilight, Luna, Pinkie, Dash, Fluttershy, AJ in battle
new sprite test

And apparently since i have to state this in EVERY post for the trolls to actually read it:
Q: Hey your using Desktop Ponies for your sprites! Do you have permission?
A: See Credits:
Pinkie Pie's creator deathpwny.deviantart.com Gave me permission to rescale them for my game.
the-marduk.deviantart.com created his own sprites for his own RPG Maker 2k3 project and has let me mix in his Luna, Pinkie, Dash, and Twilight sprites, for all intents and purposes these are the up and down facing sprites.
All the concept art in the game folder (outside of screen grabs and wiki pics of the canon characters) were created for this project by qsteel.deviantart.com
monkeyjay.deviantart.com has given me permission to use his Desktop Ponies
The rest are being used as placeholders and preemptive permission because I need proper ponies to align the battle screen, my old placeholders have too different dimensions to to proper alignment tests.

I plan to, even if I never get all the permisions i need/want and the game winds up only available to myself and close friends. (since i wouldn't release a game publically unless all the media was green light by creators)

And of course i wasn't loged in.
@anon 519 probably not, my test fight slim has about 90k HP, that way even someone overpowered like Nikon can't one shot it with a 500 HP attack

Dude, what the hell. See, this is why your threads always end up becoming a shitstorm, see?
You always could try making your own animations to save youself of having -and causing all of these problems and headaches.

It's as if you walked around kicking waspnests on purpose.

Nine characters in one party? Jeez. I doubt if anything stands a chance.

I checked the video, it was the worst thing ever, starting for the awful Techno music you stuffed there. And don't say "it's a placeholder, it's a placeholder" because there's a TON of great RPG music created for pony games, ready to download and use anytime.
The gameplay is unbalanced as hell as well. Nine players? The enemies will never have a chance, and the minuscule size of the graphics strained my eyes as I tried to see what was happening during the animations.

The generic graphics used on the enemies and backgrounds were horrendous as well (the premade tiles and graphics bundled with the program are horrible) so unless you make your own (a titanic effort by itself) I don't see any reason to want to play this boring game.

Oh, and as guy on the comments said, ponies killing things? On a grimdark game?
Completely unoriginal and out of character, man.

It makes no sense to make a game if you stuff it with annoying things that motivate noone to try playing it, much less when the game can be easily recreated (and vastly improved) by any bloke with a RPG maker program and a few evenings to spare.

And don't make me get started with the issue of taking other people's material and using it without permission: placeholders or not, people WILL get pissed off, saying "preemptive permission" is the same as waving a red flag before their eyes and then acting surprised when they get angry at you.

Yes the sprites are small, yes the battle is unbalanced, i never once said this was near final or near beta, there is a ton more work to do.

about the "ponies killing things are out out of character", how if the enemies are normal animals that were "corrupted" by something evil, when the ponies "kill" them they just destroy the corruption and the animals return to they normal self!

@ 315 That's why i said it was a worse case scnario, if for some reason after the temps are exausted, and all the story is done, AND i've tried my hand and/or comisioned others to do sprite art, if after all that and i still don't have proper sprites then the game will just sit on my hardrive as a proof of concept and fun thing to play on my own, but for such a scenario to happen a lot of things would have to fail.

I mean after creating a full 7 act game i'm not just going to delete it because the GFX aren't up to snuff, but i'm not going to release it. Probably recycle the code base though for another project

@ PonyRIG you've got the right idea, the basic set up is just that. A dark force that slipped into the world once and corrupted Nightmare Moon has snuck back in en masse corrupting several ponies. Indiscriminently killing will actually be bad for the player as it slowly drives them mad, letting the same darkness take and corrupt them. The key will be finding ways to defeat enemies without the obvious "fight until it's heath reaches 0" solution
There are a few ways, The Elements of Harmony has 2 ways to manifest depending on h

how you complete the prolog. When they move to the larger world there are other characters with their own skills that can win a fight without killing, and some you can learn (like Knock Out, which er...knocks out the opponent without killing them) Sure you could play it like a normal RPG but your party's going to go Nightmare Moon real quick.

But the thing is, this game of yours is ALREADY recycled from another RPG that you tried to make and abandoned, I saw the posts on Ponychan and I discovered that you have been announcing this game for almost a -year- and you still have failed to accomplish anything at all.
The "placeholder" routine of yours has been used since day 1 and you still haven't been capable to sprite a single thing on your own, which I cannot explain at all.
A year is more than enough time to learn how to sprite, in fact I have seen great fan made games based on FiM created by people who naves had sprited on their lives, such as the legendary Derpy Delivery.
You, on the other hand, have -literally- done nothing but go around asking others to take care of everything, and when you show "demos" to other people, you do nothing but question their intelligence and trample on their opinions, as if disagreeing with you or disliking this "game" were personal insults.

You can't sprite, you refuse to -learn- how to sprite. You can't take criticism, you refuse to change a single thing you make, you take other people's stuff assuming they will never get mad and they eventually give you permission to use it, and still expect people to help, befriend and never say anything bad to you?

Dude. What in -God's name- made you think that all of that was going to be a good idea, and what made you think that something good would come out of that horrendous, antisocial, selfish and infantile behavior?

I never Abandoned Light and Dark since the code bases are the same I'm working on them together.

I never said i wont "try to learn to sprite" in face read up I say specifically "if after i've tried" among other things.
Where have I talked down, i answer criticisms as long as they aren't freaking being insulting, i'm being calm with you aren't I.
Your seeing things in your own personal bias.
I've said several times this is a early build, that what the streams show is the process. I'm sorry if you find making a game to be to slow a process for you.

You say you "are being calm" with me, and immediately after that you start handing out veiled insults and being all smug.
And don't lie, you never take any criticism, no matter how nice it could be. If you see -anything- that could make you feel unconfortable, you explode on a fit of tard rage, and if they sugarcoat it for you, then you simply dissect it piece by piece and bury it down a pile of cheap excuses so you don't have to change anything.

Yeah... and you still refuse to understand why so many people ends up hating your guts. Frankly, you are like a spoiled child who throws tantrums and always wants to win no matter what.
