Play it Here!

This one's for all you Scootaloo fans out there. The object of the game is simple: catch the Scootaloos falling from the sky, and use the bits earned from your played rounds to buy upgrades for your bucket or the Scootaloos, or even unlock a new game mode. Credit to this game goes to Sparklepeep, who made this game for the r/mylittlepony community on Reddit. It was also featured on Equestria Daily, but I felt this game was in need of a proper review. Read it after the break!

Speaking of banners and banner submission, we here at Equestria Gaming have decided to hold a banner contest, the first of its kind. Anyone can submit; you can even submit more than once if you want to. Just be sure to submit it by Saturday, January 21, 2012. Yes, we're announcing this pretty early, so if you want in, you have a big timeframe to work.

At that point, I'll make a post with all the submissions, Equestria Daily style, and you all can vote on your favorites. The banner with the 4th highest number of votes will be the banner from February 1st to 7th. The 3rd highest banner will be showcased from the 8th to 14th, and so on, until the grand winner becomes the banner for the last week of February.

Rules and more details after the break...

Well, I updated the website's ageing banner. It's only temporary, and was drawn by the DeviantART user Equestria-Prevails. We'll be updating the banner regularly, and yes, in case you were wondering, you CAN submit banners if you wish.

Well, apparently this Pony RPG trailer got featured on Equestria Daily, and I figured I might as well post this on Equestria Gaming. There are two more trailers after the break, in case you wanted to see more of the project.

Play it Here!

Now some of you may remember a video Cereal Velocity posted a while ago called Equestria Daily: The Game, which joked about how much email the Equestria Daily team has to deal with - hundreds of messages a day, if I'm not mistaken. In case you missed the Equestria Daily post about this, it has been made into an actual game, currently being developed by Nitrouspony over on DeviantArt.

Legend of Celestia

The Legend of Celestia blog has updated, and apparently they have a poll that will help them decide which plot to go with! If I were you, I'd head over the to their blog at http://www.legendofcelestia.com/blog.html.

Oh, and apparently they're releasing a video preview tomorrow. I won't be around then, but I should be able to provide a link on Monday (unless one of my fellow bloggers beats me to it, :P ).

Well, I've been working on the site lately, fixing small errors and things like that, when suddenly I realized that we don't  have a favicon.

So...here it is!


Please note that this is not final, and may be replaced later. I also plan on updating the site's banner; as it's getting rather old. You can email me submissions if you wish.

Pony Platforming Project

Until I can find someone to run it/post more, this site is on temporary hiatus.

Sorry guys, there's just no time for it anymore.

EDIT: Got someone new, we may see some posts on here after all!

An official MLP game?  In my Equestria Gaming?  It's more likely than you think.  Yeah, I know there have been games in the past we haven't touched on.  But to never discuss actual, official Friendship is Magic games would be sacrilege.  Sacrilege, I tell you!  As such, it's about time to look at the Hub's new online game, Castle Creator.  It's more or less an online playset, as you pick a location(such as the Grand Galloping Gala and Ponyville) and drag and drop characters into different poses, as well as adding items to the mix.  All of these images are ripped directly from the show, so it feels far more like you're making a scene from an episode than it would if you were playing with toys.  This obviously means it's designed for the show's intended audience, and while it's not something I could see myself investing any time in, it does a commendable job at creating something that its target will enjoy.

While that's all there is to it game-wise, I would be remiss if I didn't bring up Derpy Hooves' now famous inclusion.  Not unlike that drawing Lauren Faust made a while back, the file name for the absent minded Pegasus in the game is Derpy.swf.  Either this means that the developers wanted to put a fun in-joke in for the bronies who would inevitably scour the game's data, or Hasbro has decided to make Derpy Hooves canon.  Whatever the case, this story is definitely one to watch out for, as it could mean that other fan names for background characters might become canon.  Not trying to predict the future or anything, but I could definitely see it happening.

                 
                                                      Play it Here!

"Huzzah!  How many points do I receive?"  If you watched the most recent episode of Season 2, then you most likely remember the scene where Luna plays a traditional Nightmare Night spider-throwing game that she mistakenly calls "the fun."  A Brony dream team consisting of Deviantart legend Egophiliac, popular remixer NotACleverPony, and game designer Texel has come together to create a short flash game based on this scene.   You have to download an application called Unityplayer off of the link to play it, but the file is small and painless.   The gameplay is simple: by holding down the mouse, you change how far you throw a spider.  There's not enough to say about this to constitute a review, but I will say it's a fun little diversion.  Also, look close and you may see a cameo or two in the spiders....

Well, this is apparently the first My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Game to come out on the Android. Now, I do not actually own an Android, so I can't properly review the game, but I'll just repeat what some others said.

The game was made well, and while the touch screen controlls can be a little difficult and buggy, the tilt controls works really well with the game. There is a distinct lack of music and sounds, more than a few people noticed. The biggest problem with the game was the Ad, it completely blocked out the score so it was impossible to see how well you've done. Overall, the game was extremely well made, one of the better Cloud Destroying Arcade games out there.

I can't really score it without actually playing the game, but it's gotten a very good review on the Android Page, so I'd say it's more than worth getting.

Hi everypony!

Development team Manestream Games has unveiled the demo to their new game Cutie Mark Crusade: A Dash of Adventure.  This is a point-and-click game starring-who else-the Cutie Mark Crusaders.  The art style is very detailed and accurate to the show, and the gameplay shows a lot of promise, even at this early stage.  However, this is just a concept demo so it's far from the final product.  If you enjoy it and want to support the team, follow them on Facebook or Twitter.  If you have any critiques, Manestream encourages you to let them know, so post on either of those or send them an email at info@manestreamgames.com.  Check it out now!

 


I woke up this morning and turned on the Hub, which happily informed me today was the channel(and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic)'s first anniversary!  I wasn't able to really celebrate it since I just returned from traveling, but I knew I had to acknowledge the birthday of the show that not only created a fandom of wonderful and caring  and creative people, but also was responsible for this website.  The show itself has been consistently amazing thus far, and I can't wait for what's to come!    

Also, I know it's been a week without gaming news, and I'm sorry for that.  

                 

Pony Wings(by NutcaseNightmare)

     Wow, a Scootaloo game!  She's one of my favorite characters and rarely gets recognized by fans outside of comparisons to flightless birds, so it's really nice to see a game based around her!  This one in particular is based on a fairly popular iOS game called Tiny Wings, which is about...a bird who has trouble flying.  Oh.  I see what you did there, NutcaseNightmare.  But I'm going to reserve my judgment on the rest of the game until after the break.

                                              Get it Now!


If you'll recall, we had an article on this FiMMMORPG(try saying that 10 times fast!) not too long ago.  It seems the project's been picking up a lot of steam, as you can see from the video above.  In fact, the game was presented at BroNYcon(which I sadly missed) to high praise.  This new, public demo is an enhanced version of the single-player portion of the one seen there, so if you were lucky enough to be there you should know what you're getting into.  Regardless of if you were or not, definitely check it out and give the hardworking devs some player feedback here.

Anyone with fond memories of 90's LucasArts adventure games, listen up: Adam "takua108" Rezich is developing a brand new point-and-click engine called PonyQuest.  PonyQuest is designed to allow users to make their own DOS-esque pony adventures that can easily be shared with others.  He's even making the scripting language, which he's dubbed PonyScript, simple to use so even people with no understanding of programming jargon can easily craft their own dialogue and cutscenes.   
 In just 2 weeks, he's made enough progress to release the preview above...

  With all the 25th anniversary celebration, I can't help but feel like I'm being spoiled with Zelda goodness this year, with Nintendo and its fans alike showing their devotion to the franchise in a big way.  In fact, that MLP/Zelda project we reported on a while back has made some big progress recently.  Check out the first gameplay footage!  It appears to be making very good on its word to create a classic top-down Zelda experience with a distinct MLP feel.  Check out more after the break.

Hey Everypony!

I'm very sorry for my long absence. I've also been impacted by the wrath of college. I may have my work cut out for me academically and socially(trying to keep Twilight's wisdom in mind when making friends), but I'm finding it a bit easier to manage my time and so I thought it was a good as time as any to return. Expect updates soon!

College hit me hard and fast guys
In fact, I should be working on my essay now rather than posting here.

So as you can see, I haven't had ANY time to do anything with the site, and I'm in need of some help.
The other guy who was supposed to be helping me hasn't been seen by me in a while, and I've got no one to help run this while I'm getting all my work done.

I apologize for not being active, when I get my work all under control I'll try to be better, but until then I really need some help.

shoot me an email if you think you can help, and if you want to help with posting and such, go ahead and include a quick review or news post so I can see if you're writing style works.
strawberryspice@ymail.com

An exciting new game project has popped up, a really neat looking 3D one. This game is currently being worked on by Byrpheros, and still in very early development. He's gone ahead and compiled a Document of Q&As that answer a lot of questions about the project.

 MLP Online is a fan made My Little Pony Friendship is Magic MMO, currently being produced by Urimas, Salty Justice, and their team of programmers, spriters, and other members in a custom made C++ engine. The project has been in development for a while now, and when finished, will be 100% free to play.

Yes, I realize that this website has slowed down greatly in the amount of things it's been posting. But I have a reason, and hopefully soon it will be fixed.

As most of you know, college/school for everyone is starting up, my college already started a week ago, so I've been overscheduled with classes and work. On top of that, we're about to be hit by a Hurricaine, and I have no idea if our power will last through it.

The thing is, I need yours guys to help me until I can find the time to search around for all these things.
If you find anything My Little Pony and Video Game related, ANYTHING at all, please email me about it.
It can be a new guild somewhere that's popped up, a game  you heard from a friend, or even something that was posted on Equestria Daily! But I need you guys to submit these things, I know this may sound a little demanding, but I really can't afford the time to do this all on my own.

I would much rather have 10 people email me about the same game, than to miss it all together.

MLP: FiM - Pony Creator is an advanced Pony creator programed in flash by generalzoi.

This game has no goal, allowing you to fully customize a pony of your own. Unlike other Pony creators, this one is extremely extensive! You can choose from a wide scale of different sizes and shapes for your pony, randing from filly to Slenderpony height. The colors for your pony's mane, coat, and tail are all full color scale. There are a bunch of different head shapes as well, allowing you to create either a male or a female pony. A full selection of Eyes, Expressions, mouthes, manes and tales, a cutie mark creator, custom poses, and accessories really makes this game stand out.

Me and a BUNCH of other sites are getting together and hosing 7 different contests for 7 copies of Terraria!
You can find the post on EqD here: http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/07/brony-day-2011-festivites-around.html
So here is my contest:




Due to some confusion, only the sprites have to be 16-bit styled. It doesn't matter what you use to make it as long as it looks 16-bit.

Have those games come right to me! If you want, a good source to 16-bit pony sprites is the Desktop Ponies program.

Happy Brony Day!

This week's The Brony Show lets play is Terraria again, but this time they have it all planned out, so it won't just be people falling all over the place. The show will be at 9 PM EST


So go to http://www.livestream.com/thebronyshow!
It's awesome.


This will be the central post for the Brony Show Lets Plays in the future.

Friendship Brigade is a gaming community that has recently popped up, they focus mainly on Non-Pony related games. You can check out the calender they have on the website for Game Dates, online meetups, and other gaming related events. The site is also the home to the MLG teams, which are (I believe) competitive teams that 'battle' other teams in online matches.

So, ULTRAMARIOX asked the creator of the Luna Game series a few questions about the series, and got some answers back.
You should head to the Ponychan Thread to read it.
You can scroll past the first interview and read the second if the thread dies.

After a long, long wait, the prequel to the Luna Game series has finally been released! If you haven't already played Luna Game, Luna Game 2, Luna Game 3, and Luna Game 4 I suggest you go do that now.


YOU CAN ONLY PLAY THIS GAME ONE TIME NORMALLY.
I have received a program that allows you to play it again.
You can download that program here
Some files got mixed up before, and I accidently linked the game twice. This is the actual file. Blame me for that, not the creator :P

It's just like the fourth one, you can only play it one time normally.

Recently, I was notified about an upcoming Legend of Zelda Pony crossover game! The project sounds very interesting, but they're in need of some people for the team!
Right now the applications for being a part of the team are being denied until further notice, the team is full! But don't give up, they may need help in the future!

Equestria Online is a 3D My Little Pony Friendship is Magic MMO in progress. The current releases are being developed in Unity, though the team has not decided whether to use Unity 3D or Panda 3D for the game.

You can find the Game's website here: http://www.equestriaonline.com/
Or the Ponychan thread: http://www.ponychan.net/chan/collab/res/13261.html

Okay, so I organized and hosted the Brony meetup at this year's Otakon.
And things couldn't have gone better!

IF YOU TOOK PHOTOS OR VIDEOS PLEASE EMAIL THEM TO ME OR POST IN THE PONYCHAN THREAD:
http://www.ponychan.net/chan/collab/res/12936.html

That's right! I'll be attending this year's Otakon!
And even better, I'm organizing a Brony Meetup there! Now I already announced this a few months back, but Otakon is in a few weeks, so here are all the details!

As the title suggests, this game is heavily influenced by the Touhou series: A long-running “bullet hell” shmup franchise with a cult following. However, the title has a bit of an identity crisis- the in-game title is actually My Little Pony vs. Starcraft II, as the enemies seem to be inspired by that game. Personally, I think putting the two titles together with a colon in between would have made more sense. Odd title aside, does the game live up to its legendary inspiration? Hit the jump to find out.

I want to give a warm welcome to Sapphire Feather!
I met him at BroNYCon, and he said he was interested in being a reporter for EqG, so I asked him to send me a review.

And well, he did! And it was absolutely brilliant!
So congratulations to him, you'll be seeing some of his posts around now!

I don't really have much more to say about it, other than look forward to his reviews!
Good Luck!

A new platformer featuring everypony's favorite baby dragon, Spike, has recently popped up. At the moment, the game is still in it's very early stages, but already looks very promising. The creator wants to follow a story line where the mane 6 are captured by the Diamond Dogs, and it's up to our heroic little dragon to save them!

EVERYTHING went better than expected.

I entered BroNYCon with a poker face
I left singing winter wrap up with three pony necklaces and four commissions in hand.

I love you guys so much.
Pics and more stuff after the break.

The weekly live cast of the big 10th episode for The Brony Show is tonight! Have some copypaste.

The Brony Show will be having their 10th episode live today at 6PM Pacific - 9PM Eastern. You can find the live stream on our front page link at http://thebronyshow.net. We'll be interviewing part of the team behind the flash game My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The Fiends of Dream Valley. We also have an interview with Sir Sprinkles of Brony Movie Night to talk about a new streaming event they're doing. Along with all the news, fan content, and hilarious randomness that only The Brony Show can bring! 

Go listen to some pony! 

That's right.
You heard correctly.
The Luna Game now has it's own website.
http://lunagame.net/

Just throwing out a reminder to you all, there is a pretty large list of guilds and servers especially for ponies!
Guilds
Servers

Alright, a few of the guys from The Brony Show are doing a lets play of Magika and Diablo 2. Now do to a mistake on my part, it's already been going on for 2 hours and will be going on for maybe an hour more  (I'm so sorry I had work and completely forgot) 

So go to http://www.livestream.com/thebronyshow right now!
It's awesome. (I'm there too)

So the next game in the Luna Game series is underway, but this time it seems we're going backwards! Based on the name, and the things that go on in game, I'd say the next game is going to be a prequel to the series, and may explain a few things about the story behind the series. If you aren't familiar with the series, you can play all the games HERE.


You can download the game in the following link:

Below the Break is a bunch of spoilers.

A few Bronies are trying to pull off something insane.
A 24 hour steam of Minecraft.
Now this has little to do with actual MLP: FiM, but they're Bronies, and Minecraft is a game, so I figured, meh, whatevs.

Here is some information:



I say, go check it out to see them pull it off. And if they do, hopefully listen to their crazy conversations after not sleeping for a whole day.

Story of the Blanks is an 8-bit styled creepy game. This was the winner of the Creepypasta Game Contest, and well known for it's creepy and slightly disturbing storyline. The game itself features music by CRTified Technician, Zero V2, and DarkNES.

Alright, I'm sure many of you know about Luna Game and Luna Game 2. Both games are pretty creepy, but I crave for more. And what better way to get people to make creepy games than bribe them with free stuff?

This month's contest will be to create the creepiest creepypasta pony game that you can. Also, I HAVE decided that I will hold monthly contests, each will likely have the same $10 game on steam prize, but I might mix things up some months.

Alright, after a long wait, the fourth addition to the Luna Game series has been released! If you haven't already played Luna Game, Luna Game 2, and Luna Game 3, I suggest you go do that now.


YOU CAN ONLY PLAY THIS GAME ONE TIME NORMALLY.
Though thanks to a user who emailed me, a program was created that allowed you to replay the game.
You can download that program here


Yes, I'm being completely serious, I couldn't even grab a screenshot on my own because I didn't realize this until AFTER I had played through it (Stole this one from Ponychan). This game is by far the best of the four, so I suggest you play it. I'll throw the link before the break this time, making it easier to play it without spoilers.



DOWNLOAD GAME HERE

Alright! So after reading all of the stories, I have finally decided upon the winner! Thank you VERY much to everypony who participated, I love ALL of your stories so much! (Like, quite literally, every single one was amazing, it was so hard picking just one winner ;_; )

Iron Pony Challenge, a new pony game in progress by JinrohDev, is a game featuring many different mini-games, where you can play as either Rainbow Dash or Applajack. The music featured so far in the game is the main My Little Pony Theme.

The current three games you can play are Pony Longjump, Rainball Bounce, and Hoofball Punt. In the future, you will be able to play as either Applejack or Rainbow Dash, but for now, only Rainbow Dash is supported.  Each game has it's own control scheme (It's highly suggested you read the instructions before playing), but the goal is the same: Get the highest score possible. There IS a high score table, so you can compare your score to others, and see just how well you did.

Anquestria is built on the open-source game "Angband", which is a 'roguelike' RPG. The game has a very simplistic look to it, using the built in windows symbols as the graphics, similar to Dwarf Fortress. The game is still in development, but is currently at a playable state. The game itself has to be run on a Windows system, though the source code can be found on the website to compile it for other systems.

Alright, so here is July's Contest! This one will be a tad different than the last two. This time, it's an art contest! Now, for the specifics. The picture has to relate to, in some way, this website (Equestria Gaming), and be video game related. It can be pretty much anything, as long as you find some way to plop this in it. I would suggest drawing an image about Ponies and Video games, then putting the EqG thing in somehow last minute (like, lets say you make a cool Fallout picture, and just plop something Equestria Gaming on a billboard, or on a tiny candy wrapper somewhere, or a television, or a book).

Anyway, here are the official rules:

Somepony, known by the name Hawf,  has recently started development on a Ponyville replica map for Team Fortress 2! This will be the first complete Ponyville map for Team Fortress 2 so far. The creator of this is going to try to keep the map as true as he can to Ponyville, while including as many of the ponyville hotspots.

The skill and accuracy of the models so far is amazing, Here is a small clip of a Ponyville house. But even with as much talent as he has, anypony is welcome to join in the development of this project! Just stop by the Ponychan thread and leave a post:

PONYCHAN THREAD

(Sorry if this post is a little awkward, been a while since I posted)

This blog is getting kinda big, fairly quickly. And I'm sure I can handle it alone for a while, but planning way ahead is what I try to do, makes things easier in the future!

Anyway, I'm looking for someone else to help with reviews, and news posts with Pony Games!
If you want to submit a review, just to see how you'll do, here are three you can do: (Yes, I will be doing them myself later)

AND I'M BACK!
That was an AMAZING WEEK.

But now I have tons of catching up to do.
Like literally.
Tons.
The next few days are going to be kinda crazy here. Woohoo!

Well, I don't  have very much time. I'm about to leave on my trip, so this will likely be my last post for a week. I'll re-do this properly when I get back!

It's a neato Touhou and MLP crossover,  TO PLAY YOU NEED THESE TWO SOFTWARE THINGIES:

Wow! 100,000 Views! That's like, a whole freaking lot!

First off, I want to thank a few sites. Derpyhooves.com for being there since the start, about three months ago when I first started this site, he was the first to link and support my website.

Also, to the Steam Group, the Brony Facebook Page, and Everypony Radio for being awesome affiliates and groups.

Anyway, enough thanks, I have a few things to say.

Holiday in Ponyville is a work in progress game, features the mane 6 ponies from the show. The game will consist of various mini games, one per pony for each day, and the more you complete in a day, the better! An example of a mini game would be helping Fluttershy with the rabbits or Rainbow Dash to keep the sky clear.
