Here's the song for when you win but you murdered EVERYONE. Using "Tin Throne" an old track I dropped but quite a few People asked for it back. I gave it a brush up. Kasane Teto leads, asking only for a small baguette. youtu.be/qzP6pNuX5nM?... #slaughterhorse2 #vocaloid #teto #indiedev #indiegame

I'm making end game songs for SH2 that have lyrics, thanks to the power of synthv, Teto, GUMI and dear little Mai. Need a better thumbnail though. Two so far, one to go. youtu.be/M_sSc6qdH08?... #slaughterhorse2 #teto #indiedev

Big Macintosh doesn't look that happy about his coronation, but what might cheer him up is that 0.13.5 is now live, with a few fixes and additions. Steam is also asking if I want to put SH2 forward for a nomination, so that's next. Cards, emojis, etc. are all under review. Details of update are...

In other news for those who enjoy collecting cards, SH2 has been granted such status now - so soon we'll be dropping cards, badges, emoticons and backgrounds. With any luck these will appear next week - depends on how long it takes them to be approved. #sh2 #mlp #indiedev

Steam didn't think SH2 belonged with the Halloween event, but they DID think it matched up with Animal Fest. So along with the vet sims and pet rescue sims, you can also get a discount on a game where you brutally slay cartoon ponies. I don't make the rules. store.steampowered.com/app/2076260/...

couldn't resist as I'm a Kirby fan but I drew the Invincible Candy for my cake shop's door for #slaughterhorse2. need to think about what to do for the shop name and banner.

In another update for SH2, in the documents/workshop folder you can now find an 'imports' folder. You can drop all your QR code workshop hosses in there and upload them all to an empty set with one click. Fixed some bugs too! #sh2 #mlp #Indiedev

Hello folks, I have uploaded 0.13.3, the promised Friday update. Probably the trickiest thing was the addition of the Steam workshop, but with any luck it works. I mean, it works for me but experience has taught me that means nothing! So, as ever, let me know how it goes. Plenty of other fixes too.

making the pie sisters...i miss playing this game so much i love SH2 PEAK UPDATE #slaughterhorse2

I didn't intend to update until Friday, but I think (i hope!) I've solved some real game-breakers so 0.13.2 is now live on Steam. Let me know if things are working any better. There will still be a Friday update, where hopefully my focus will have been game play issues and not oh my god issues.

It's chasing bugs all the day long here at Catsmeat Studios (which is an alcove in my house full of crap, sadako figurines and empty energy drink cans) but I have managed to put in something special in time for halloween. Updating Friday! #slaughterhorse2 #mlp #indiedev

Hello! Quick fixes for Slaughter Horse 2 are now live on Steam. >I've used a different method to pack the game which seems to upset the virus checkers less and stops the issue of missing files. >If your game crashed during loading due to the shader message, when you start the game hold ESC...

If all is well and working pals, I'd love to see your OCs. Here's some of mine and you can import them in if so you wish. I've had a request for a bat pony option... well, maybe! #slaughterhorse2 #mlp #indiegame

Hello. 0.13 is now live, so it should update for you soon on Steam. It continues to upset Windows Defender, sorry about that! I'm still working on ways to convince it not to be so touchy. Updates going forward will be much more frequent. Fare thee well. #slaughterhorse2 #indiedev #mlp

The Steam promo video is very outdated at this point, so I made a new one for when 0.13 drops. Which is SOON. #mlp #slaughterhorse2 #indiegame www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRUL...

Hi folks. I've had some messages SH2 is suddenly throwing up virus warnings. I've also found that AGK Studio, without any changes, is now suddenly crashing randomly on me. I *suspect* these issues are related to Windows 10's end of life. Working on the game in AGK classic...

I love coding, but it works thus: Day 3: Basic game structure in place, Physic engine works, 90% of graphics done. Day 9,345: Go nuts trying to work out why a text object doesn't appear and spend 9 hours fiddling until changing its flag from 500 to 505 solves it and that doesn't even make sense.

@catsmeatstudios.bsky.social Once a blade now a mare. The blade that took life of many horses, now wandering around in the lonely snowy nights, at the snowy mountains. My take on Charlotte as pony. Her mane is also sharp.

STILL debugging 0.13, but doing my best! One request I heard way back when was for final words from the condemned ponies. We now have these! You also have the chance to speak when it's your neck in the noose and this wisdom is saved for posterity. #slaughterhorse #indiedev #gavedev #mlp #pony

made some fanart for #slaughterhorse2 !! i love you murder pony.. #mlp #mlpart

The council actually do some work in 0.13, most actions they take need to be passed with a majority vote - and the worse things are the more desperate and draconian the proposals put forward are. #slaughterhorse2 #mlp #gamedev #indiedev

I must share this wonderful art by Kibboz - it looks fantastic and really encapsulates the game! #slaughterhorse2 #mlp #indiedev #gamedev #fanart

I made the Night Mare's model using the reference of a real horse face but I realised for an eldritch dark goddess that sure made her look like she was carrying a bit of chonk, so she's been restylised. #indiedev #mlp

Sh2 additions: Scold and praise now have an effect on the information Snapper finds. Investigators use intel, not RNG. They look for patterns and react. The Vet is ALWAYS fatal to you if disturbed. You are warned! The council meet weekly and take measures against you. (more)

A new addition to the Night Phase, you can ask the Night Mare for a favour, even if trapped in your house. How much she can help depends on how many pony souls you've sent her way. Don't annoy her, though. #slaughterhorse2 #indiedev #indiegame #mlp

I've had quite a few images for the kitchen posters now, and I've been asked if it's OK to send multiple images. It is! But so everyone is fairly represented, I've fixed it so the game chooses 3 different artists, then chooses one of their images if there's more than one. Loving your art!

A low-poly pest ready to mess up somepony's day. #slaughterhorse2 #mlp #gamedev #indiedev

There we go, room for 3 posters at a go - and if clicked they will display your artistic name and whatever other details you'd like to include with your image. Cheers pals.

I've seen some Slaughter Horse 2 art around and I'd like to show my appreciation beyond saying "nice picture lol" so now it can appear in game as a poster. So if you've ever wanted your art to pop up in a psychotic horses kitchen in a little-known indie game... (cont.) #mlp #indiegame #gamedev

Snapper getting a makeover. Don't worry though, if you're attached to low-poly Snapper he'll still be available! #slaughterhorse2 #indiedev #indiegame

It's old but I spent all morning trying to get an alligators eyes to move. #terribleComicsDay2025

Thanks Distrokid, had I known I could have held off releasing volume 2 a couple of weeks and put it out exactly a year later. And that would have been neater! Oh well. Vol 2 is for sale on Steam now! store.steampowered.com/app/2450900/...

Volume 2 of Slaughter Horse music is now live on: Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/4ZmxoM... YouTube: youtu.be/37Ox9uayO5A?... #mlp #slaughterhorse #indiedev

Having spent ages diddling around, adding tracks, cutting tracks, it's time to call it finished - the second volume of Slaughter Horse music is completed and uploading to Distrokid, so it'll be appearing on YT, Spotify, etc. in a few days and then I'll add it to Steam too. #indiedev #mlp #music

A slaughter horse themed PMV! Made by Emper-1 youtu.be/tyP4wEg7Z9Y?... #mlp #slaughterhorse #indigame #pmv

Working on a request - all first murders drew on the same text array regardless of what their role was, now they will be role specific. Run a test with a randomly generated town... And oh my God, there he is again.

@partycat-friends.bsky.social has given me 16 new manes and tails for the custom pony assets, bringing 32 different styles for both. You can share your ponies with a QR code, with your pals and all being well, the Steam Workshop at some point. #indiedev #mlp #indiegame #pony #slaughterhorse

I was wary with SH2 when I put it on Steam, making sure I noted it's a parody, no official art used etc. and then somebody upped and put this happily on there with zero consequences - maybe I shouldn't have worried! Give Derpy's Fun House a go, it's short and a bit janky but it's free to play.

Some small SH2 additions. Following a complaint from my #1 critic (daughter). significant news is now added to your notes. (thread continues...) #mlp #indiegame #slaughterhorse

That bunting by the tunnel in Withersmont looked terrible, so I've replaced it with some nice animated flags. Placeholder textures? I have no idea what you mean. #slaughterhorse #mlp #indiedev

All friends together in a jolly everyday pony town. #mlp #mylittlepony #indiegame

Working on the First Pony Perspective and the town in general. Sliding collisions finally work! You can choose to attack houses in FPP mode too, if you like the more personal touch and compare a pony's roster photos to their actual appearance when seeking the Spy. #indiedev #mlp

www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5r3... I both really like Slaughter Horse 2 and have always wanted to do a speedrun of something, so I buckled down and speedran a game of Slaughter Horse 2! I get INCREDIBLY lucky for this run-through. @catsmeatstudios.bsky.social #slaughterhorse #slaughterhorse2 #speedrun

Finally have access to a Mac, and to my surprise (apart from the video), SH2 works! Even the shaders. So when I finally get that update finished we might be able to include a Mac version too. #indiedev #mlp #indiegame #pony

I thought the one thing finished on Slaughter Horse 2 was the soundtrack. No, I've almost finished vol. 2, another hour+ of horse anthems! Soon to appear on Spotify, Steam, YT and pretty much everywhere else. Spotify link for volume 1: open.spotify.com/album/6JEwCy... #indiegame #indiedev #mlp

Had an email today from a user who can't run Slaughter Horse 1 on Android due to its age. If you have that trouble, there is a Windows version too - it's older and has its original name but works just the same! gamejolt.com/games/pinkam...

Currently working on SH2's previously very basic torture function. Choose your tools carefully and get those ponies to spill the tea on their friends. #indiegame #indiedev #mlp

Google has informed me my account will deleted on Google Play unless I jump through a whole bunch of hoops. The killer is they now require a set amount of verified playtesters for each app. I don't even know that many people!.

I often get kind requests to translate SH2, and I keep all the text as .txt files with that in mind, but here's the issue. Text is assembled string arrays with tokens the game replaces, e.g. $victim=name, $his=his/her depending. I don't know if this would work in other language construction.
