The horse girls have arrived 🐎 🎮

saw a very good homse at the store (but left it there)

This - after a public consultation that came down c95% against corporate copyright theft - is a hearty move towards this government’s spineless purchased representatives needing to be hoofed in the crotch by us all, in a big queue until they get the message.

There you go!

somehow working on something (no matter what) makes me yearn for something completely different xD working on cozy horse game has me suddenly wanting to try Fallout 1 (already started, just have to get used to the controls on the Steam Deck)

as the last person to get into Baldur's Gate 3, I can report I finally enjoy the game! (it just took 2 years xD after getting the game for my birthday in August 2023 xD)

today I woke up and told myself "don't open discord before 12" and it honestly worked quite well! (but also it wasn't such a long time because I usually get up relatively late 😅)

oh I also danced my first show as part of my danceschools actual show group on Sunday and it was fun! (we were a small part of an evening-long orchestra concert) can't share any photos or videos though because I'm never alone on the stage 😅

look I promise I won't be a thogli / Alice Ruppert hype account forever but this is a big part of my life right now okay 😅

I've seen people claim that horse game fans are impossible to please because they demand realism, and I think the reception of Horses of Hoofprint Bay is proving those people wrong. This audience primarily wnats authenticity, not photorealistic graphics

Thank you all for playing the game, leaving reviews, talking about the game everywhere 🥹 We have Overwhelmingly Positive reviews for the Demo on Steam, were the top-placed Demo in Steam Horse Fest, got over 25k wishlists and the median playtime for the Demo is up to almost 3h 😳😱💖

our 4 👎reviews are 1. actual explanation of what the player dislikes (but it also includes things that lots of other players are explicitly praising us for) 2. just the word "bad" 3. complaint about us offering too many skin tones 4. complaint that the demo has too much content I think we good

we're doing this community challenge on our discord server and the intention was that our players post a lot about our game on bsky but I think I'll need some of you to help out here by following the studio account 😇 @thoglistudios.com

Under the Island is FINALLY OUT! After more than 7 years of development, the journey comes to life today ♥️. Huge thank you to everyone who supported the game along the way! Enjoy the Launch Trailer Shop Links in the comments 👇

Hiiii!! our big paradigm shift didn't happen and we fucking ruined everything so it turns out we will need you to do all that work after all. Computer is 100% subscription now though! The future! and also we found out that your work has no monetary value sooo for free? Hehe cool you're so talented!

We're doing a lil community ambassador thing on the Hoofprint Bay discord and you can help by reposting or quoting the out now post below and following the thogli account 😌👇

I even made a new trailer last minute! 😅💚

I briefly saw HoHB on new and trending and I can live with getting overtaken by same day demo launch Battlestar Galactica and Might & Magic, it's now on #3 this is amazing 🥺💚 #horsegirlsunite

the leading experts in the field:

"come try Horses of Hoofprint Bay we have 25 positive reviews on our demo already", says video game horse expert store.steampowered.com/app/4335510/...

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

PLAY HORS GAEM DEMO PLS

drawing UI icons is fun, actually. drawing UI icons is fun, actually. drawing UI icons is fun, actually.

Rewatching Stranger Things earlier seasons after watching the finale and watching Fallout stuff while working on cozy horse game assets, so if you see some accidental interdimensional monsters in the background that’s why

I always loved the somewhat sketchy look! (not so much the story of the movie though so I only watched it once 😅)

We're in the process of reaching out to content creators for advance access to our demo that will launch soon! Please use the TMQ creator signup if you're interested, and check your emails today if you've already signed up 😊

Figured I'd share a bit of steam review insight on the horse game server inspired by this 🫡

ich möchte bitte nie wieder in eine faszinierende Welt eintauchen

Game dev take: Parallax is the highest impact / lowest effort visual trick in 2D. Overrated or essential? wishlist link in the comments👇
