Apparently the fellows who run The Round Stable have recently interviewed Manestream Games, the developers of Cutie Mark Crusade: A Dash of Adventure. The interview is rather short and thankfully doesn't spoil much, but it does reveal some of the developer's inspirations, their intentions for the game and various other random stuff.
