Trot cycle by Fara Shimbo! If you have any criticism regarding the animation or the model, please let us know and it'll be forwarded to Fara! #indiedev #indiegame #blender #horsegame

Walk cycle on the new horse model so far by Fara Shimbo! We decided against the old horse model by Zixea as it looked too much like the generation 1 models from star stable online. If you have any criticism about the model please let us know! #horsegame #indiegame #indiedev #blender

Happy pride month yall, I completely forgot to post LOL No game updates yet, just wanted to wish everyone a happy pride month <3

Work has been started on the tutorial level for Celestial Grove: Shadow Over Silverdale. #indiedev #indiegame #unrealengine #UE5 #horsegame #openworld #anime #animegame

No new updates for some time! I'll post again when I've got something to show.

Wooh a bit of a late update on the game... We were having major trouble with github for a while, I am not promising anything but I might show something again this sunday, and if I don't post anything that means it's likely not enough (imo) for a bluesky post

Emily Bondevik yet again! Gods I love her, I'm surprisingly proud of this art. #indiedev #ibispaint #autodesksketchbook #digitalart #art

A clarification regarding the January date; this was not a promise but a plan which did not work out. We are not ready to release the demo, and I will continue sharing updates. I will only share release plans when we are 100% ready. #indiegame #indiedev #unrealengine #youtube #gamenews

The new Luna Silentfield. One of my game's main character's and the queen of the Sidus Unicornis species. Attempted to make parts of her mane and tail look like an aurora. #art #clipstudiopaint #indiegame #indiedev

My cat passed away... We tried to save her but we failed... I'm going to take time to grieve, I'm no longer going to try to get the game's prototype out this month. It will come when it will come. I'm heart broken because I lost my beloved cat. She was only 8 years old, it was just her birthday too

Model test in UE5 by LionBLAISE! Some details still need to be done, but my baby is looking so dope! #unrealengine #indiedev #indiegame #anime #blender

#transformers #transformersprime So... Galvatron's Revenge was a flop. Here's a sneak peek on a pilot story for my... future remake... The start, and the ending of the pilot episode... For now. I can't promise anything, as I'm focused on my game... But I just wanted to share these snippets...

LionBLAISE did a test in blender with his shader; Emily's model is looking really dope and I'm so genuinely excited ❤️ #blender #anime #indiegame #indiedev #3Dmodel #substancepainter #unrealengine #fantasy

Cooked for 3 days and delivered a full course meal, at the cost of my elbow and wrist. Character: Emily Bondevik At one point, this will become her idle animation in-game. #art #clipstudio #indiegame #indiedev #originalcharacter

More model updates from LionBLAISE! ✨❤️ #substancepainter #unrealengine #indiegame #indiedev #blender #3Dmodel #anime #3Dcharacter #animegirl

Another character model update from LionBLAISE! The skirt's outline was redone to better visualize the aim for a velvet skirt. #blender #3d #horsegame #indiegame #indiedev #unrealengine #3dcharacter #3dmodel

A little snippet of the UI in progress; we're opting for a slightly worn down journal style quest log! The reward icons are placeholders from an old texture I've forgotten to remove from the project Screenshot from one of our programmers, Chaos #unrealengine #clipstudio #indiedev #indiegame

The new game logo! I couldn't make it work with the whole unicorn body so I opted for just a head, tried to keep it the same style as the team logo #indiegame #indiedev #horsegame #horseridinggame #clipstudiopaint #unicorn

Here are snippets of concept art for our game! I'm finishing up work on the rest of the main cast for the time being. I've wrapped up the storyline for the alpha/demo, I need to finish the city layout too and then that'll probably be all my work #indiegame #indiedev #clipstudiopaint #digitalart

Not many updates that I can share. Here's a screenshot of the test level though! I love how our lights and shadows are looking so far But yeah this isn't much and I'm just posting so people don't think the project is dead #unrealengine #indiedev #indiegame

With how things are looking right now, it's more likely we will release a very early demo in January 2025 rather than December 2024. I don't want to rush the team, I'd rather we all take the time to deliver at least a decent demo. It'd serve as a pre-alpha of sorts because of placeholder assets.

I'm still alive! We've been working behind the scenes, there just weren't things I was allowed to share publicly just yet.

Character model update by LionBLAISE! The texturing process has begun and she's looking great ❤️✨

...yeah I'm redesiging the UI and I'm so much happier with the new design choices.

Sorry nothing to show yet this week but just a quick update, I restructured the way quests work, it was just one aspect that really bugged me because of how similar it was to star stable... SO I completely changed that and I'll have to recreate the quest UI now... I'm considering a UI redesign...

Heyy! If all goes according to plan and none of us suddenly fall ill or experience more issues with unreal engine, we'll get an early demo out by December this year! Just please keep in mind the demo won't be very long as it's going to be the first, very early demo meant to gather feedback! <3

Updated moon texture! I think that's final, or if I do make changes, they'll probably be relatively small

Starter horse! :3 If you see this, post something pink! <3

Night time post: bsky.app/profile/rimf... And now the prettiest part of the sunset lighting <3 Warm and bright!

Night time post: bsky.app/profile/rimf... This lighting test is for the start of the sunset!

Pc version done, Going to try and get a quest version working but no promises (No one saw my post where i spelled quest questions) #vrchat

The horse and character model updates! The horse is being modeled by Zixea and is a replacement for the horse model from my lighting test post. The main character is being modeled by LionBLAISE!

Our developer logo!

Quick night time lighting test for Celestial Grove: Shadow Over Silverdale using the old unfinished horse model. Landscape is a temporary map from the Epic Games Marketplace and will be replaced for the demo release.
