The official thread for MareDare 2: The Daring Sequel. Aka, the sequel to the first MareDare game by Rakan Haddad Software. So far, MareDare 2 is still in it's prototype stage as nothing more than a graphics demohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwfF_ckjCQk>What's MareDare?A game series based on MLP by Rakan Haddad Software. So far, only the first game is out. However, the sequel will be released once it's done!>Who developed it?Rakan Haddad. A Jordanian game developer with a company that's named after him and said company is only run by him! You can find out more about his company at https://rakanhaddadsoftware.com/>What's this thread for?For submitting feedback and suggestions for the project! Feel free to submit your ideas for the game as it's still in alpha!
>>42768639Who made the game again? My memory's a bit short
put your game on sale, faggot
>>42768882Okay, there'll be a 50% discount for MareDare 1 on Steam by tomorrow. The discount will last for 14 days! Enjoy!
>>42769033
>>42768639Can you make an official anatomically correct mod, cause you know, Steam guidelines etc
>>42769048Sorry, I can't mainly because my company is registered in Jordan and you aren't allowed to sell pornographic content in general under the cybercrime law of 2023. They could close my company or put me in Jail at worse. Their rules not mine.
>>42769033based!
>>42769033>it's actually on saleokay I'm actually buying it kek
FURAYS.
>>42769033Based Anon actually delivers.Respect.
>>42768639Merry Berry a cute! Maybe have unlockable accessories or clothing for her through collecting certain items in the levels?
I cant wait to be nostalgic for these threads when maredare 26 comes out on the PlayStation 8
>>42770112I believe
>>42770117I've been wanting a pony platformer collectathon Mario 64 style for years and perhaps mare dare is the seed that can grow into such a thing!I believe too.....
>>42770112>Implying the PS8 will have games
>>42769126please don't go to jail i want to see a super mario 64 inspired horse game and i believe in you mr rakan
>>42770533Celestia yes please or even weirder shit like that Harold's walk game on the 3DS eshop that looked retarded but was great fun because it had stellar controls
>>42770533Don't worry, I won't. I didn't sell porn so nothing will happen.>>42770533>>42770610It's going to be a 3D platformer with jumping but it's not going to be like Mario 64. Also, the graphics are closer to the PS2 than the N64 I'd say. Finally, the graphics aren't a stylistic choice as I model everything as low-poly so that the game can run on low-end systems! I really care about optimization.>>42769938Hats would be cool!
>>42768639Do you still clop to ponies or have you changed your ways? What's the status of your Pinkie Pie plush?
>>42771108Yes, I still do it it. But, I'm more private about it now. Also, my Pinkie is fine but she has a minor scent. She's currently on my desk. I want people to know me more for my game dev work as that's my most powerful skill. There's more to me than just some weird stuff I do from time to time. I prefer just answering about MareDare or my company in this thread. Also, forget my rants and my virtue signaling from the past. I was in a bad mental state. This might get screenshotted and posted somewhere on Arab social media to cancel me as I'm Arab myself but I don't care.
>>42771157> but she has a minor scentWASH YOUR FUCKING WIFE YOU VANTABLACK NIGGERhttps://friendscollection.com/how-to-wash-my-stuffed-animal/
>>42771188>https://friendscollection.com/how-to-wash-my-stuffed-animal/I heard of this method but I'll try it today or tomorrow. Thanks! Also, I have light-skin so that insult doesn't apply.
>>42771188arabs are whiter than europeans nowadays lol>>42771157do you have autism?
>>42768639>Profile features limitedOh yeah, I remember that being an issue. It took MareQuest a while to get out of that state too.
>>42771221>do you have autism?I've never been diagnosed with it so most likely not. Why do you ask?
>>42771207>hairy ape knuckles>whitechoose one
>>42768639how many copies of maredare you managed to sell? Should be at least 100 for you to afford another publication on Steam
>>42771315231 Units with 100$ earned in net profit. So I basically earned 70.9JOD (Jordan's local currency)
>>42771289No worries sport, you'll grow hair when you reach maturity, Little Timmy.
>>42771157Folex is good for cleaning plushies, with an upholstry cleaner if you have oneHere's a pretty good plush cleaning guide, toohttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1HSUYaO8o5RPBEHUFeDuBKdPe9w-NBgAZurb7-XfkMXM/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.mp4tkg2lh44p
>>42771207based, what chocolate were you eating?
>>42770165If there will be one to begin with.
>>42771207Are you a big guy?
I just added basic movement and collision to the MareDare 2 prototype!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yMekVCt8nEAlso, horsey23 is has joined Rakan Haddad Software and is it's newest employee! Applications are open for soundtrack composers. If you're a composer, just email me at admin@rakanhaddadsoftware.com to discuss your application!https://rakanhaddadsoftware.com/employees>>42771853I don't think Folex is available in my country. But no worries, I'll try the pillowcase method tomorrow.>>42771855Milk chocolate. I usually have it with coffee.
>>42771207You passed the zandj test.
>>42768639Buy an ad.
>>42772640He already gave out a discount, dude.
>>42772075I can't do music, but if you need some writing and conceptualization...
>>42773029That just means he's shilling even harder.
>>42773363I got use help with the plot for the game! I'd certainly appreciate your help!. Just shoot me an email at admin@rakanhaddadsoftware.com and we'll discuss you working at my company as a writer!
>>42772075I liked original model more
I re-exported the Merry Berry model after making sure all the animations from Blender are included. Once I imported it into Unity, I got this monstrosity. Does anyone know how to fix this? I'm using NLA strips in Blender.
>>42774387Okay, It turns out I just had to delete the old gameObject and replace it with a new one. Silly me!
>>42774437she should have some rival evil mare which placed all those spikeballs
>>42774062there's always gonna be a fucking GenWunner in every vidoegame fandom
I just added animations to the MareDare prototype!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJKK4OcWVEs>>42774487I'm thinking of a plot twist in which Blue October (The mare from the last game) turns out to be the villain who convinced that one mare to break Merry's legs and for Merry to be sent onto the clouds. It will be revealed that she was the one who put the spiked balls onto the clouds!
>>42774573>can't see the sovlngmi
>>42774867Both have soul
>>42774802w-woah she's fast!
>>42776501that fucking run animation is so hilarious I love MareDare
>>42776774No, I'm not selling the prototype. I'm only sharing devlogs for it and announcing it's development. I'll only be charging for MareDare 2 once it's completed. How did you come to that conclusion?
>>42774802>I'm thinking of a plot twist in which Blue October (The mare from the last game) turns out to be the villain who convinced that one mare to break Merry's legs and for Merry to be sent onto the clouds. It will be revealed that she was the one who put the spiked balls onto the clouds!I don't know, I think Blue October should stay as a good character. I suggest making some other mare. She is not necessarily evil. Her talent is making spike balls. She doesn't try to harm the main character just showing her affection this way and she is just socially awkward.
>>42777074Cute mare! I can't believe you made a mare for my game! Thanks! I'll name her Pokey. I'll certainly be making Vectors for her like I did for Merry Berry later on in development! Here, have a cute Mare in return!
can you add achievements, steam trading cards and other Steam slop to Maredare 1 and 2?
>>42777118NTA, but that takes certain thresholds. I don't think a game of this size will crack those.
it is finishedbeing able to complete the game in less than 2 hours is a bad idea on Steam desu
>>42777514afaik thresholds are only required for the point shop/trading cards
>>42768639>local /mlp/ tranny doesn't know how to do proper game design Go and die in your slav shithole faggot
>42777578>42777581>42777590>42777601>42777607Are you okay?
Rakan Haddad will not be shook by such a pathetic melty
>>42777612Ask that to the game developer who thinks it's fucking funny to release his inferior mudslime games for money. The fact he is even charging money for this shit game is hilarious imagine paying for this shit the actual retards paying for this shit deserver to get their heads decapitated and shat on. Imagine being a vantablack nigger in lesotho who buys this fucking game instead of being a white aryan shitting on this mudslime piece of shit who thinks it's funny to leech off you faggots LOL
Rakan Haddad should learn proper game design and art instead of being a pathetic mudslime begging for money because he's poor, go buy an ad for your slop game retard
>>42777612They're obvious false flag shitposts. It's best to discard those.
>>42771350Can you share information to who bought this so I can doxx them thanks
>>42777629NOOO DON'T CRITICIZE MY SHIT GAME SHILLING IT'S FALSEFLAGGING SHITPOSTERSWhy should I play this slop of a game made by a retard who only wants to make games for money?
>>42777635Instructions unclear, added game to shopping cart.
>>42777638I swear to god I will literally murder the rewatch tranny clique norre firlin bubbles lucen algoatall violetvaquita you are all going to get the fucking guillotine one day when I commit suicide I think of killing you people first
>>42776982stop shilling your game if it's not even fucking finished fucktard I'm not testing your shit game now fuck off from the catalog mudslime faggot
>>42777642>random word blurbOkay, it's a bot.
I just added a HUD and a game over condition for falling off to the MareDare 2 prototype!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yayJqA-CdA>>42777118I might after finishing MareDare 2. After that, I might add achievements to MareDare 1 and 2!
>>42777638>A dumbfaggot and his money are easily parted by a lying sandnigger.
>>42777578>never make a game>is developing sequel to game he already madelmfao do you even read what you type?>>42777581Rakan Haddad i assure you kike, is not a tranny, Rakan Haddad could rip a tranny in half with his sheer strength and outprogram john carmack both at the same time. are you retarded anon?>42777590>42777601>42777607anon this is the mare dare 2 thread, we are witnessing technological pony art be crafted , quit throwing a tantrum you fucking, whiny toddler>>42777622Rakan Haddad is unphased, the man is an unmovable stone of the mind and a fucking force of the cyberrealm, a fucking wizard>>42777626i bet you couldn't beat the first level of mare dare, nigger, rakan haddad doesn't develop games for handicap children, you should try leapfrog anon
>>42777635Kek i see you are a retarded nigger and a /opg/ puppygirl faggot who shouldn't even be allowed on this board>>42778017>dumbfaggot>is ranting here for hoursrakan haddad with ease could compile a dox on you and pull up via jet to your shit residence and piss on your bed and break your wrist in an arm wrestling competition, and guess what, he will still return home to implement new game features before you have time to dial 911 and sob about your broke masturbation armim fucking excited for mare dare 2. merryberrysupremacy
>>42778017>Implying one buck is a critical valuePoorfag spotted.
>>42778328He's not going to fuck you, sandniggers are more interested in children.
>>42778336kek the retard cant play mare dare and thats why hes mad. >>42778017Nonny ill buy you a copy if you calm down>>42778353what are you ranting about you fucking schizophrenic lunatic queer
merry berry is so cute im gonna draw some fanart of her
>>42778784Based.
I just added blood to my MareDare 2 prototype! The blood is even more realistic than the first game! I didn't feel like working on MareDare 2 today but I motivated myself.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Lg-Y-Cdqig>>42778784Cool, post it here once you finish it.
>>42780670>>42777612You didn't pass the zanji test.
>>42780670ok anon let's do a comparison here, where's your pony videogame so we can see which one is better
Merry Berry tum tum exposed!
>>42780982Anon, blue board!
>>42780476Well, that just turned graphic.
>>42780982SQUEEEEE. One thing you cant shit talk is Rakan Haddad's ability to create appealing looking and original characters that aren't contrived like a bad aie fic. Merry Mare makes me merry at mares
>>42781784>literally shaking with anger at merry berry on /mlp/Damn the first level isn't that hard, anon.
Bump.
>>42768639based sandnigger
Dare you to mare??
>>42782779I DARE!!when are we getting porn of her
>>42782800>>42780982
>>42782901so LEWD
Bumo for potential.
>>42783479
>>42782800Not from the dev, that much is certain.
I was really demotivated today but I managed to do some background optimization work for MareDare 2 despite that. The main thing I did was that I converted the project so that it now uses the Unity's Universal Render-pipeline rather than the standard pipeline. Work on MareDare 2 might slow down from time to time due to me also being a business man helping my family's business. >>42784605Go do what you want. I don't care what people draw on the internet. I just simply want to keep my company's reputation clean.
>>42784706thats entirely alright rakan haddad, take time for your personal matters, we can replay mare dare 1 in mean time. i discover new strategies and lore connections each time i play. dont let these faggot childraping kikes disrespect your works or industry, mare dare is one of the few good pony games in the last 7 years
>>42784706will MareDare 2 support resolutions higher than 1920x1080? I need to see merry berry's snowpity in fullscreen on my 4k monitor
Can I use Merry Berry for a cameo in my own horse-related videogames, Rakan Haddad?I enjoy the merry mare berry much.
can i make merry berry porn since you cant, mr rakan haddad? I have an urge to get merry to berry!
>>42784821I didn't think of making MareDare 2 compatible with 4K displays since my PC uses a 1920x1080 display. Silly me. I'll certainly be adding 4K display support to the sequel. Thanks for idea! I really need to make a list of all the things I need to add.>>42784826Yes, just credit me as Rakan Haddad as I'm the creator of the character.>>42784864Yes, I answered this question here >>42784706 I don't care what people draw on the internet. However, don't credit me for the character if you're doing porn as I don't want porn to popup on Google search whenever someone looks up my name.
>Thread of a dude making an indie game>everyone's pretty coolBERRY good thread.Hope Rakan Haddad makes many more sequels and strikes it rich.
>>42785440Based
Pet Merry Berry.
Cheers to a nice thread.
>>42784049
>>42769126Are mods allowed or will you get caned under Sharia for that?>>42771207Congrats on being whiter than average 4chan user
I just finished making the official design for Pokey. She's going to be the villain of MareDare 2. Now, do make the dialogue in the game itself!>>42787397Here's an English translation of the law. Scroll down to article 13 for the porn law. The law mainly focuses on victims of exploitation and sexual illustrations resembling child sexual abuse or children. However, the first paragraph mentions "pornography" on it's own as being punishable and, it isn't very clear on what type of porn. I personally viewed clop in Jordan and nothing happened to me. But, I want to play it on the safe side by not selling this stuff. https://www.josa.ngo/publications/33
>>42787488Oh, to add to my point. It's most likely all pornographic content that's illegal and not just CSAM. So from now on, I won't sell, share, view, produce or download any pornographic material so that I can follow the law. The punishment for breaking the law is 6 months in jail or paying a large sum of cash.
>>42787488this mare is angry
>>42787488Why is she so evil?
>>42787488
>>42787532I am going to grab those flanks and cover that plot with smooches
>>42787508What about enabling the steam workshop so that people can make mods and the mods are their responsibility
>>42787946Would I have to make the game open-source to do so? Or would I have to incorporate some type of user-generated content system into the game itself?
>>42788059I'm not really sure how the workshop functions, but it's great when games have it, L4D2 being a good example
>>42787532UNF
>>42788059>Would I have to make the game open-source to do so?nope, see Valve titles>Or would I have to incorporate some type of user-generated content system into the game itself?yes, even asset flips need code for workshop integration
I dare the mare to stare as mare called a mare stare.
>>42787390
>>42768639>it's not possible to family share MareDarewhy
>>42790133nvm I forgot that I made it private in my library, lol
I changed my mind. Instead of me adding dialogue to my game, I'll be making animated cutscenes for it instead! I'm currently working on the opening cutscene.>>42788896I'll see if I can do any sort integration after the base game is completed.
>>42790277Is the audio track voice acting? Very daring indeed
>>42790310Yes, I'm actually using my voice! This is my first time animating in Flash after months of not animating. So the animation might be a little sloppy.
>>42790277I wonder what is she saying
A new camera control system was added to the MareDare 2 prototype today by horsey23.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI3VbQk9ddM>>42790507>So, let me get this straight, you decided to yet again to make that unicorn use a cloud walking spell on me, have her teleport me on the clouds and force me to complete this stupid dare of yours were I have to collect all the berries while dodging spikes? Oh Pokey, once I, Merry Berry, collect all the berries and complete the dare, you’re going to get it!
>>42790507her favorite slurs
>>42791468Everything as usual then.
>>42792106yep

I keep almost forgetting this, haven't had the time to write it down, so I'll vomit it out now and maybe flesh it out laterAs the other guy suggested, I like the idea of a mario64 but with mares. Twilight's castle makes for an easy place for our protagonist to be summoned to, perhaps for a friendship problem, and throughout the castle can be, IDK, enchanted books or something to warp her to different worlds, since I'm sure nontendo is gonna slap our collective asses if we go all the way to having the paintings, too.Perhaps twiggle got stuck in one of the books and we need to gather items from all the other books to get her out, but then we need a bowswer-type boss character, perhaps they are also from the books, and rather than use the [items] to rescue twilight, they want to use them to escape into the real world!Sure, I guess romhacking sm64 is an easier way to get to this type of thing, but...
>>42795737>romhacking sm64 is easierI'd argue that working with the recompilation would be even simpler since it's made in an understandable language (I'm not a programmer)
>>42795737>Sure, I guess romhacking sm64 is an easier way to get to this type of thing, but...Why? If you're skilled enough to make an sm64 total conversion, you're skilled enough to make the same game in Unity.
I finished animating the opening cutscene for MareDare 2 after three days! Merry Berry is voiced by yours truly ;)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BijMvY87SOk
>>42796224Music to my ears, anon
