In case you missed the /mlp/con reveal: pony.games is now live!This site is mainly focused to satisfy all your pony game needs in a digestible format!As of now, it should have a respectable directory of games in the "games" page, you can eaither visit the author's page, download them, or go to the link to buy them if they're a paid game We don't do piracy.If you see that we're missing any games, feel free to submit it through the appropriate channels.The site is an MVP, so to speak, that means it’s pretty barebones as of now, but it'll keep constantly growing. While you might have to wait a bit to witness everything I have planned, you're just in time to suggest things you may want to see in the site! We're also looking for people to help out, so if you're interested, don't be afraid to reach out!Suggestions we've implemented:>Light mode>Publish date filter>Gore and NSFW as separate filters-Things planned in the next few months:>Accounts>Likes system>"Upcoming" section for games in the works with no playable demos>Comments>Assets in the "Assets" section>Redesign of the main page-Things that we're still deciding if we should add:>Tags ranking system>Reviews section for each game>Section for pony mods only-Things we need help with:>More members for the mlpgpp to help catalog / tag / backup the games>People to play the games and verify the information presented about them is correct, and request changes if not.>General help, if you want to participate and help in any way you can, feel free to reach out.
In case it wasn't clear enough, if you have any opinions, suggestions or observations, feel free to voice them. Everything is valuable.I want this page to be a community project, and that means building it together.
>>43400741Very lovely project. I would suggest adding a category for pony mods for non-pony games, even if it's just a single player model for Sven Co-op.I've noticed that Ponyvania lacks estimated playtime. I'd suggest putting in at least 10 hours, since the game needs to be beaten at least twice in order to get the good ending.Another minor thing I'd suggest adding are system requirements, but maybe this could be a community effort later, done by people who have various eras of computers. Perhaps something like:>provide your computer specs and OS>provide your game settings if you have any>say how it works
>>43400741>We don't do piracy>>43400774>pony mods for non-pony gamesI now wonder about rom hacks, since some are released as IPS patches which is fine, but there were instances where some hacks were released as standalone roms.
>>43400741Pretty sure most people here already know about it. Anyways, anyone got good game recommendations?>CommentsOh damn, your going through with that? I'm glad, but be sure you can moderate it. Pedos will try to link CP to it.>Tags ranking systemTags would be nice.>Section for pony mods onlyI think that would be a nice idea.
>>43400741>comments>likes>accounts>turning it into a social media sitePlease don't.
>>43400741>accountsMight not be a good idea...>accounts and likes/dislikesInstead of comments it could link to a forum at best. Leave the website only with a like/favorite button for filtering to minimize griefing scenarios (you will only need to worry about mass unfavs or artificial fav counts)
>>43400741>comments This could become a shitfest fast, maybe if you do it just as a review thing a la steam it could work but please for the love of Celestia don't make it a social media
REPOSTING FOR POSTERITY:When do you merge with the other pony sites and start the ultra pony site and start the New Jerusalem for ponypony
>>43400807>>43400858>>43400946>>43401109>Pretty sure most people here already know about it.I also though that, but there's a sizeable amount of board users that didn't know about it. I plan to spread the word as much as I can. Afterall, one of the purposes of this site is to not let games be consumed by the void.>Comments Only for the games themselves. Wouldn't it be fun to share little secrets and details amongst yourselves?We won't need profiles or anything like that. I'm still debating if we should let people reply to each other.>Likes/dislikesOnly likes actually, and only on the games. So the community can "recommend" games non-verbally to each other.>AccountsEasiest way to make the site less vulnerable against the CP spam (I didn't say prevent it, just harder to spam it). We'll probably also implement special captchas like "put the mane on the pony" that pone paste was planning.The accounts could also be useful to bookmark or "follow" games to get notified when you get updated, for convince sake.
>>43400774>Pony modsAlready in the plans! Will probably only do the IPS thingies like >>43400779 for ROM hacks though, I don't want to be taken out back and be put down like a sick dog by Nintendo>Ponyvania playtime changeWill do!... Maybe. I forget a lot of things all of the time. If you could help me by submitting that on the site, on the page games in the hyperlink where it says "suggest changes" that would be swell. It helps keep track of things and sends it directly to the guy in charge of all of that.>SpecsHmm, that'd be something for the long run, a little extra flavor for when we've got the site at 90% completion.How would you feel if you provide your specs and the site showed a symbol next to games your pc would struggle to run? We'd use the account to help you save those settings. Again, this is in the far future, maybe a year at the soonest.>>43401230This is also me btw, if it wasn't obvious enough
>>43401225As much as I would LOVE the chaos, drama and constant infighting that would cause. I think it'd be a bad idea.Having a singular individual controlling the entire fandom is... A surefire way to guarantee the fandom's death.I think the best solution is something like neocities is doing. Together but not mixed up.
>>43401230>Easiest way to make the site less vulnerable against the CP spam (I didn't say prevent it, just harder to spam it). We'll probably also implement special captchas like "put the mane on the pony" that pone paste was planning.No, the easiest way would be to not have comments at all. I really feel like having a comment system doesn't add that much and it's just going to create huge problems for you as the site admin. Fimfic shut down registrations completely (if you want an account now you have to go on Discord and beg one of the admins) due to spam problems, despite using actual industrial-strength captcha and cloudflare bot detection. And I guess they're still having issues because they cranked the cloudflare even higher recently. Plus don't forget, in addition to CP spam and normal spam, hosting UGC opens you up to targeted attacks where someone posts links to CP or pirated content and then immediately reports it to your hosting company before you have time to take it down.
>>43401286Hmm. I wasn't aware of the fimdic situation. I guess it's gotten worse over the years, thanks for telling me.We'll put a pin on the comments idea for now.
>>43401286B-but why would anyone do that? :(
>>43401290I still think user-submitted reviews, approved by site staff, uploaded to the games would be nice, maybe with a minimum word count?
I found the other gaming site I was thinking of, ignore the blogspam at the top, it has a lot of older browser games reviewed and helpful solutions for some puzzle games: https://jayisgames.com/browser/
>>43401255Thats a really good idea. Someone can host a directory page a lot like 4chan's homepage. Then it lists each pony service and a note about them.
>>43401286>hosting companyActually, just so we're clear, we don't have one. It's all self hosted locally. But I'd guess the danger still remains with the domain manager
>>43401509Hmmm. Has anyone made a DNS service authenticated via tor? Could be a great way to sidestep icann. If users are willing to look up the IP manually as a backup.
>>43400741Did a /d/raw. What's her name? She's so cute.
>>43401865That's adorable! Her sloppitty We're getting some good fanart. We might need to find a way to display it on the site...I've been thinking of "Memory Leak". But nothing's set in stone yet.
Site's a brilliant idea love the mare love the work but I hate to say it not entirely a fan of the super modern design and colours kind of feels like Trello or SlackAGAIN not trying to discourage absolutely love the site and will be using it
>>43401865Holy shit that is fucking amazing!
>>43400741>We don't do piracyThen I don't do your site simple as. Either go all the way or don't do it at all.
>>43401888I've got a few suggestions:Techno TouchVidea NodeCode Cracker
>>43401713>Has anyone made a DNS service authenticated via tor?Not TOR, but there is Ethereum Name service. https://ens.domains/And then you can access it via Limo.https://eth.limo/>>43401902The design preference can be partially solved if the website provides some API so that anyone can make a (web) app that renders it.
>>43401945You don't do what?
>>43400741/s/uggestion: could you add coding tutorials and the like to the assets section?
>>43402222Not check your dubs, also site. It's not worth using if it's not going all the way and not having download links to ALL the pony games, including non-free ones.
>>43402982I disagree. I torrent a lot of stuff and it doesn't make a difference to me. Doesn't take effort to pirate something elsewhere, you know
>>43402982>not having download links to ALL the pony games, including non-free onesWhich ones are not free, though, D'Lirium?Hasbro slop, obviously, doesn't count - they don't understand what makes ponies or games good.
>>43401945Retard.
>>43402979>coding tutorials in 2026I've got you covered, Anon.https://www.udemy.com/course/ai-game-design/https://www.udemy.com/course/how-to-build-games-with-ai-step-by-step/https://www.udemy.com/course/agentic-ai-game-dev-build-a-2d-platformer-with-claude-codehttps://www.deeplearning.ai/courses/building-an-ai-powered-gamehttps://www.coursera.org/learn/ai-for-game-design-agent
>>43403346Funny
>>43400741Very nice! I really don't like the theme though, looks like generic LLM slop. Leaves a bad taste in an otherwise very soulful project. Take inspiration from https://mlpapplejack.neocities.org and https://mlprainbowdash.neocities.org. Would be cool if the anon who designed those can help out. Maybe I can give it a go too.>satisfy all your pony game needs in a digestible format>all your pony game needs>We don't do piracyThen that ain't really ALL the pony game needs, eh?I would think a pony game archive (which is what this site feels like) would, in fact, have ALL the pony games. You know, like a booru. At the minimum, paid games older than a few years should be included. Those who didn't buy it already won't pay for it anyways.One thing I am slightly concerned/confused about is the association between this and the game jam. Will the game jam remain a /mlp/ event? Because the much wider audience of this site could very well cause the game jam to be overrun with offboarders, if it's advertised there.
>>43403347Vibe coding a My Little Pony game in 2026 is pure magic. It shifts your role from a stressed programmer to the ultimate showrunner of Equestria. By feeding an entire franchise lore bible into advanced tools like Cursor, you can instantly generate customized pony flight mechanics, magic spells, and branching friendship dialogue using simple natural language.This hyper-efficient approach perfectly matches how major IP holders operate. Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks has explained that their teams leverage AI to slash the time between an initial concept and a playable prototype by eighty percent. This massive reduction in friction allows creators to quickly playtest hundreds of visual ideas to see what actually works.Ultimately, this workflow eliminates the need to hunt down broken semicolons or build complex game logic from scratch. Instead, you can focus 100% of your energy on lore accuracy, vibrant aesthetics, and the wholesome character dynamics that fans care about most.But for real, the golden age is behind us and MLP fanbase is aging fast. If you don't shit out your game fast, AI or not, there will hardly be anyone to share it with.
>>43403338D'Lirium, Marequests, Filly Astray to name a few. To truly preserve them you should be able to download pony games like these instead of doing retarded things like "go buy them instead" when these games can disappear for any given/non-given reason. If you can't download them then have you guys really learned anything over the years?
>>43403362>if you can't download themI can, though. Also Steam games out of all platforms are the least problematic (for now), they are stored in the users' libraries and they can download even if the game is delisted from the store.
>>43403374Forgot the pic.
>>43403374Yeah, (You) can. But can anyone else? Not just download them, but latest versions too?
Because MLPGPP and Pony.Games is kinda different projects, gonna answer some questions related to archived games.MLPGPP linka: http://wellmares.com/pony_games_archive/>>43400774>archiving pony modsWe already doing that. You can find 23 mods in our archive.>>43401945>piracy of pony gamesWe did not archive games under paywall (if devs did not give us permission).Instead we provide a link to where u can buy the game. If said game for some reason become discontinued then it will be added to the archive. >hasbro, nintendo and others big corp DMCA claims1) Open google sheet -> create copy2) deploy this on ur server https://github.com/marius851000/mlpgames-downloader to clone all of the archived games builds (current size is ~203GB) The goal of MLPGPP is putting all of the eggs in one basket, and share it with (you) do whatever u want with it.
>>43403799>muh piracy bullshitBro, are you dumb?! You must archive EVERYTHING, ignore the devs! Ignore them! Your goal is to archive every pony game, right? Then DO IT, GOD DAMN IT, DO IT! Make no exception!
>>43403833>If said game for some reason become discontinued then it will be added to the archive.Way I read is that they have the build, but as long it's not discontinued it won't be added. Is that so bad?
>>43403833Yes, basically this >>43403947We do backups of paid games, but we're not going to offer them for download unless they get scruffed off the face of the internet, or go free.Though our archive of those is limited because, you know, money.So if you have any you'd like to donate, feel free to submit them through here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfcwEAvzaDnzulGUmTRWkhqmr60_ESRxPyoOMkF_iaSSpOHxw/viewformThis forms is available on the site, under the games section, but I posted it here for your convenience.
>>43404050>try and check an old one out of curiosity>File not foundWow. So is it still being compiled in back rooms or what?https://mlpgames.mariusdavid.fr/1021
>>43404069build 1021 was added today to the sheet, did not yet uploaded to all of the servers. Try different mirror.
>>43404050>but we're not going to offer themYou will offer them or you will admit that you're not actually archiving and presenting everything.
>>43404092I tried both, neither worked.But fair enough, was literally the "being compiled" question tbqh, darn databases
>>43403947You can't prove that they have the games unless they actually provide download links for them. As far as I know OP is a lying faggot until proven otherwise.
>>43401406There is one already: https://pony.directory. But it does not allow generic links (eg links to wikis, etc) and the tagging system is a mess. Editing is also slow and full of bugs.I have one in the works too which is more lenient, editing will be much more user friendly, there will be a proper instant search, etc. Not sure when if I ever finish it. I vibe coded a proof of concept (holy shit GPT 5.6 Luna is so fucking powerful), but I don't "ship" projects where I don't understand/know every single line of code.
>>43403833>You must archive EVERYTHING>mustFuck off. OP is the one running the site, so OP gets to decide how the site is run. If you really want things archived a particular way, archive them yourself. Or at the very least, start saving things you care about and sending them to Rome
>>43404340OP is both running and ruining it.
>>43400741will you porn of that pony?
>>43404882I don't think she even has a robot vagina Anon, you might need to install that add-on yourself
>>43400741its a cool website
>>43404519Piracy is so easy, i don'r see how that ruins the website. All i get from these posts is that you're being lazy.t. pirate for life
>>43405457>i don'r see how that ruins the websiteLeast obvious hasbro lawyer.
>>43405465>conveniently forgets to address the very first words with his replyYou aren't very good at shitposting, AYE you?
>>43401902Thanks! And I understand, if anyone here has any suggestions on site theming or design feel free to voice them. Specific feedback is appreciated.>>43403354If you want to help out you can email me at littlehorseappreciator@proton.me. I'd love to hear your proposals and I'd love to work together with more board people!And yeah, I've been thinking about the Jam stuff too. This page is starting to (very slowly) get some traffic. I would love to leave the Jam clock alone, but as a sort of cautionary measures, we can hide it somewhere in the page. Maybe only being able to access it by booping the marescot in the snoot? I don't know. We'll think about that later.>>43401947Naming pones is hard. I like the word "Node".When I think of a mare name, I imagine a little filly saying it or how her friends would call out to her. Nothing really rolls off the tongue as of now.>>43401713>>43402164Those are big words and they scare me.In all seriousness, we can just pause the comments idea and cross that bridge when we get to it. I would rather keep the page easy to access without doing any extra steps.
>>43402979I've been thinking about that, but I feel like there's so many tutorials on everything that are so easy to find, that it'd make adding them redundant if they're the first result when searching on google. I think the only tutorials we could add would be ones made by the community or for esoteric engines.>>43404154Nice! I hope you go through with it! It'd be nice to have a general fandom directory, there's plenty of pages on the internet collecting dust and that makes me sad>>43404106I'm gonna take the bait to take the opportunity to say that we indeed do not have EVERY paid game. I plan on making a "bounty" list of games in the future of games we know we don't have so people can help us out by looking for them or just in case someone happens to have a backup of a specific game.
>>43400741I don't really have much to say except that this is really cool.
>>43400741Maybe make a separate section for free games and games you need to buy/pirate?
>>43406064>Maybe only being able to access it by booping the marescot in the snoot? I don't know. We'll think about that later.This is a great idea, please add it if you can.>When I think of a mare name, I imagine a little filly saying it or how her friends would call out to her.This is cute. I'm going to so this as well when naming ponies.
>>43406070OK, fair, but whatever paywalled games you do have really should be made available to download for general public instead of keeping them to yourself. There is no telling what can happen after all. What if suddenly something terrible happens to you or your PC? These games would be as good as lost in that case. That's why it's very important to have everything available so anyone could download and preserve them instead of just (You) and (Your) friends or whoever else has access to the paywalled content. Moreover, free access also means if I or anyone likes the game they can buy it in the future if it's possible. That's how it works with non pony games and that's how it would work here as well.
>>43401713If you don't like icann, there's always opennic and the little pile of top domains they have created.
Fuck, I have been slacking.
You guys are hitting me with some high grade nostalgia.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIwHg-hXanI
The only Pony game I ever played was Mega Pony (the Megaman Parody) and it was super good.Are there any pony games you love that I should check out?
>>43406413Ponyvania. It's hard but really fun once you get used to it.
>>43406453This one? It's already looking good on the screenshots, and I already deal with the original metroid gameshttps://ziggylung.itch.io/ponyvania
>>43406461Yea, it's really fun and replayable due to the multiple classes and all the stuff new game + brings. Just be sure to do the tasks in the pre-castle missions to not get the bad ending.
>>43406339>w-what if a meteor hits your PC! you MUST leak paid games for free right now!Absolutely pathetic how broke this board has become. Imagine throwing a multi-day temper tantrum because an admin won't let you steal $5 indie games made by solo bronies. If you can't afford $4.99 on Steam, you shouldn't be playing pony games, you should be filling out job applications. OP is completely right to keep the site clean. Modern, sleek UI beats gross 2011 Neocities eye-searing web trash any day. Half the legacy games you freeloaders are begging to "preserve" are unplayable, broken Flash clunkers anyway. Anyone actually serious about gamedev in 2026 is just vibe-coding new games in Claude or Cursor in 20 minutes instead of hoarding 15-year-old abandoned jank. Stop begging for handouts and pay the devs.
>>43406461The hydra boss kicked my ass about 9 times in a row because I suck at memorizing buttons but I'm blaming the game instead because I can.
>>43406461I installed it and windows told me it found a Trojan
>>43406473But what if there is a meteor?
>>43406530Will you cut off your balls if Windows tells you to?
>>43406601No, just like I ignored the trojan warning and started playing anyways
>>43406530Did you download it from itch? If not, which version did you download?
I second the motion for a separate category for pony mods
>>43406530windows is retarded
>>43406413Check out Day Dreaming Derpy for a very polished cutesy JRPG. https://pony.games/games?game=34
>>43406413>Are there any pony games you love that I should check out?Definitely check the top of this list, they're the most polished:https://ponepaste.org/610The ones that I played and can confirm they are great:>My Little Investigations>Fallout Equestria: Remains>Legacy of the Pony>Megapony>Ponyvania>Rise of the Clockwork Stallions>The Pony Roguelike>Slaughter Horse 1/2>Octavia in The Underworld's CelloThere is also a not-Pokemon game, but it's kinda behind a paywall:https://battlegemponies.com/>>43407446The itch.io page and game are outdated, though.The most recent updates are on:https://foe.ucoz.org/main_en.htmlAnd the Steam page is:https://store.steampowered.com/app/3908900

>>43407506Autism is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.
>>43407518Not from r/mylittlepony
>>43407483Steam did literally nothing wrong. So fuck (You) buddy.
>>43407564Yeah I was also curious where that sentiment suddenly came from. Afaik (I don't use it because I no longer play video games) it is one of the last platforms that hasn't enshittified itself.
>>43407632>bending knee to payment processorsHow else do you expect a company to stay in business? If you're going to complain about that, complain the ones responsible, instead of those who hate being forced into these decisions just as much as you do.
>>43407632>bending knee to payment processorsTo the world elites who directly control payment processors among other things.Yeah, I think it's a more sensible business choice than being forced to take payments only in Monero.
>>43407639>could have held the line,>Dear MasterCard and Visa, we will not comply with your requirements.>Sure thing, buddy. Your company is forever banned from integration with MasterCard and Visa. Be glad that we didn't ban all the cards involved in your company's transactions for non-compliance (yet).
>>43407646>cash and money ordersEasy ways to tell that someone has been stuck in their basement since 2000.
>>43407653>let whichever government to which you are beholden dictate how you spend the money>seriously mentioning cash and bank orders as forms of moneyJust for your knowledge, governments can block cash operations with Valve and banks can block transactions to Valve.Really, hating Valve that they cannot compete with the world elites is such a low-IQ take that no one can take it seriously.
>>43407653Not everyone shares your brain damage.
>>43407667>no government at all can block a transaction of money into another mans handsYeah, they can just block 99% of them and bankrupt the company.Really, are you even old enough to be on this website? Because you have a 12-yo mentality.
>>43407653What do you suggest doing? Going unabomber on feds?
>>43407680>All of the strange, black-market transactions for food, diapers, guns...are controlled by the feds as Gary Webb proved.
>>43407680>Just pay what a copy of data is worth when you copy said data.No way fag. I am not paying shit if I can't try it in its entirety before buying it or if it's proven to be a good enough game to warrant purchasing it right away. If you want to throw your money away on something you can't prove it's worth your while, feel free to do that, but don't fool others into doing it. The only exceptions to that are games that weren't preserved yet.

>>43412295>The website must be related (at least tangentially) to /mlp/ and it's community.Does it mean what I think it does?MLP-related stuff is not applicable, only board projects/memes are?

Week #3 update +75 new mare games\c/
>>43414814I love you no homo.
>>43414814How many of them paywalled aka available only for the team running the site?
We may revamp the home page to give it slightly more soul and to make it more informative, you're still on time to let us know what you'd like to see!
>>43414814Sounds great.
>>43415376needs more ponies and pony-themed things. Things like little horseshoes for icons and stuff. Maybe desktop ponies in the background
>>43400741More themes would be cool too. Maybe one for each of the mane 6, plus the oc pone.
Repaired more of penta studio's flash games. Amazing programming games, hardcoding them to call back to your own servers for assets, servers that are long dead 15 years later.
>>43414761who?
>>43416506>hardcoding them to call back to your own servers for assetsPiratefags hate this little trick.>>43414425This, and also convert it into a format that LLM understands.

There should be a MMO Banned From Equestria. That is my feedback.
>>43419206Well, we have around 100~ downloads a day. Somewhere between 1 guy downloading everything and 100 people getting 1 game each.And ads will come later, after our next major update.
>>43419835Given our culture, it'd be strange if there weren't several guys who started downloading everything the moment they dscovered the site merely to stay on the safe side.
>>43419835maybe provide a download for all the games?
What game would be actually attractive on a long term with a large-ish player base which is not just a fancy chat program (aka sl, ponytown)?Think like cs, fortnight and whatever.
>>43420200none, because the pony fandom and /mlp/ are dead. there's like 500 people left on earth who give a shit about ponies and that's being generous.
>>43419896>download for all gamesI can only think of a file with magnet links or IPFS links to achieve that.
>>43420592I understand where this sentiment comes from, but that's just because you refer to the old bronies, not those who discover ponies after G4 ended or watched them as a kid.>>43419738That's just a 18+ roleplaying server aka Second Life.>>43420200Out of my mind - FoE Remains and Equstria at War have sufficiently large player bases and they are still played.I would say the game needs to cater to autists and be complex enough, plus it's better if it's not story-driven, but gameplay-driven.
>>43420200Open-World Survival Craft game with optional multiplayer (like Minecraft)
>>43421413There is the vintage story mod. I tried it, too fucking complex.LoE for example is missing basically everything what would make it a good game. Quests are just talk to this talk to that quests. Nothing is intuitive. Controls like ass.Sulphur Nimbus is the only one that comes to my mind which is a genuinely great game. But essentially 0 replayability.A multiplayer tower defense game maybe? That would have replay value if the basic game mechanics are good.
>>43421444>multiplayer tower defense gameLike Bloons TD (ponies instead of monkeys) or Orcs Must Die (defend Equestria from hordes of Anons trying to get into it)?
>>43421942Anons and orcs are both green, come in huge mass and end result is not positive with either.
>>43421444>LoE for example is missing basically everything what would make it a good game.14 year old game btw
>>43422022>and end result is not positive with eitherSounds like some unhealthy self-bashing behavior out of nowhere. My presence would be beneficial.

Found a game that doesn’t seem to be in the site already (Twilight’s Nightmare):https://sharkvil.itch.io/twilights-nightmare-mlp-gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZ1HI27VxCg
>>43421444>LoE for example is missing basically everything what would make it a good game. Quests are just talk to this talk to that quests. Nothing is intuitive. Controls like ass.Quests do suck but I enjoyed leveling up there.The game would be better if it weren't for its mentally stunted playerbase and strict rules made for little children.
>>43421413>Open-World Survival Craft
>>43422163Either this was just added or I can't search properly. Thanks either way.
>>43419896You can already download it from the standalone MLPGPP git >>43403799 , as SiSi said, the Game Preservation Project and pony.games are technically two different projects working together.We could maybe make it more apparent, but the option is there.
>>43422560Thanks. Yeah linking to it on the site would help.
>>43419896The MLGPP archive doesn't actually have all the games. It only has freeware ones. Everything else is doomed to be lost.

Requesting pony games that follow the spirit of the poniponi and aren't just some game but with pony skins on.I could use some cutesy shenanigans to warm the withered lump of charcoal I call my heart.
>>43423351>aren't just some game but with pony skins onI don't remember many reskins, mist of the games are originals.https://ponepaste.org/610>Requesting pony games that follow the spirit of the poniponiMy Little Investigations.https://www.equestriandreamers.com/downloadsMareQuesthttps://store.steampowered.com/app/2184130/MareQuest/
Let's say hypothetically, there was a lewd friendslop game with ponies. What would that look like and how would it play?
>>43423371>a lewd friendslopDating sim where you do some activities to impress mares and ultimately fuck one of them (this is a victory condition). Players can meddle with each other's progress (replace an item inside a gift box, tell lies about the mares' preferences, spend their interaction with a mare to diss another player, etc). If you want even more friendslop, make physics interaction like in Fall Guys.
>>43423384For maximum slop make mares have two parameters: affection (depends on a player) and horniness (affects all).The most effective interaction should increase both, but the safest interaction decreases the horniness and increases the affection.Then it makes sense to switch to another mare if she became horny due to other players.
Alright, so, to sumarize:>category for pony mods / ROMs>system requirements>Redesign the page(already in progress, but we're keeping the colors)>Tutorials in the assets page (?)>Differentiate paid and free games in some way>Look into joining https://mlp-ring.neocities.org/ (if possible)>more ponies and pony-themed thingsMaybe turn your cursor into a pony? that'd be cute>More themes, maybe M6 themed>Hide the MLP Jam clock and historyProbably using a konami code to unlock it, and make use of the accounts by making it remain unlocked. Or cookies, we'll look into that>Make the option to download all the games more visibleAm I missing anything?
Name Three actually good pony games.You can't.
>>43423788Forget about the M6 themes. Just add a Trixie theme instead.
>>43423790Canterlot Siege 1Canterlot Siege 2Canterlot Siege 3
>>43423788Yeah, downloads for paywalled games. They must be preserved too.
>>43423788Sounds good to me. I think another Anon also wanted a place to post his art of the pony.games mare.>>43423798based
>>43423844>Anon also wanted a place to post his art of the pony.games marepost on the thread lol
>>43423788>Am I missing anything?Yeah, a local launcher that connect to the website and allows to browse and install free games (poor man's Steam, if you want).I understand that this is a HUGE amount of work, most probably compared to the whole website, but this is something that will make your website stand out in the sea of other websites with games.
I miss the old Pony.games. Back when there was only one theme, and only one blacklist for gore/nsfw. Normies ruin fucking EVERYTHING Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
>>43423371>friendslop gameHuman Fall Flat but earth ponies>lewduhh make mares and stallions anatomically correct?
>>43424845imagine getting bitch slapped by a stallion schlong
>>43424847>imagineI'm not gay so no
>>43411587>>43424358Perhaps using existing client from e.g. https://github.com/Drop-OSS/drop and adapting backend would be a viable shortcut? No endorsement for this particular software, I've just found it on awesome-selfhosted list.
>>43424358What's the point? You browse the site using the site. You track installed games using your file system. Aggressively pushing underbaked updates in the hot last minutes of a jam is the only use case I can think of.
>>43423788Don't hide the Jam clock...
>>43425175>What's the point?Convenience. I click on one button in Steam and I install the game and add it to my library. I click another and I play it.
>>43425413Well not right now. I'll probably let it run through the next Jam then announce it's getting hidden. Though I'm slightly curious, why don't you want it hidden?
>>43426092Because it helps me track when the next Jam is.
>>43423371>pony (already cringe to normalfags), lewd (extremely cringe to normalfags)>friendslop (requires actual friends to play this)Sounds like dead on arrival, tbqh.
>>43423371It'd be a friend-making sim where you have you make more pony friends than your own friends do, and once you reach the max you get to pick one of the mares to date. Depending on how the date goes, you get to fuck her brains out for a longer time and in more positions to get the max points to win.
>>43423371a lewd friendslop sounds like the single worst combination of genres you could combine possible.
>>43426237You will have a super secret cool guy code that you'll hopefully only have to imput once.This is a preventive meassure which won't really be needed unless the site gets big quick, which in all honesty I doubt.I'll think about implementing up until next Jam. The Jam clock isn't going away, it's just playing hide and seek!
>>43427278code is good
>>43426687Just make it modable and you'll be swimming in profit

Thinking of Pony games makes me remember there was that MLP Pinball FX cabinet, but there's a freeware, community run virtual pinball game called pinball vpx.I'm surprised no one in the community has made a MLP cabinet yet.
>>43430116As in a physical one? It seems that at least one might have been made: https://web.archive.org/web/20160615155101/http://gray--day.deviantart.com/art/Pinball-Table-Project-Assembled-Plastics-614508247The only other thing I could find was this draft: https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=31105

>>43432997Reminder that MEGA now deletes all data from inactive accounts. Accounts are considered inactive after only 10 months. That’s a really short time considering that it’s been years since some of these links were posted. If it isn’t too late already, MEGA links should be scraped from the archives ASAP.
>>43433021I remember looking at it and only seeing one zip file, so I assumed it was the main game only.I'd take a look again, but it's down.

This month is gonna be a little bit sleepy in terms of updates. We'll pick it up after MareFair
>>43435407>>tfw none of these are available for download and preservationRemains, MareQuest and Derpy's Fun house are free, retard.
>>43440278But not the rest which is what truly matters! They have to be freed from the paywall!
>>43440679>They have to be freed from the paywall!Be the change you want to see. Buy these games on Steam and host their copies.
>>43440694I am not buying anything, especially when it's not getting preserved cuz I know jack and shit about hosting. I will be far more inclined to buy anything if there's a 100% guarantee that it will be preserved on a site like pony.games and it is open for download by other people.
>>43441013So do as I say, not as I do. Funny how that works, isn't it?
>>43441013You know Rome accepts uploads, right?
>>43439789I still love you.
Bump for interest
>>43439140
>>43441988yes
>>43441530Good to know and good for him, but pony.games and its admin are what matters here. OP is too naive for his own good. It's as if he never ever had hardware malfunctioning and then dying on him. He doesn't get that to properly preserve something it's not merely enough to have it on your PC, it has to be available for others to copy to their own computer. He did it for freeware, but he didn't do it for anything not free and is instead essentially hoarding it like a dick.
game preservation my ass. yall just want free shit
>>43400741OP you should ask for a mare fair spot and shill the page. by the way would you make it so the list of games can be sorted by last update?
>>43443350Public access isn't necessary for preservation, you just need multiple backups stored independently in different locations
>>43443372I actually do have a MareFair spot, look for the GameDev panel! I'll be giving out pony.games ribbons for the people who attend so try to drop by!And filtering by last updated is in the cards. I actually want to make it so it's the default filter on the page, but because everything on the page is updated manually, it's gonna be a bit of a problem. We're gonna need a lot of help on that front. Just people being on the lookout for updates.
>>43443350>it has to be available for others to copy to their own computerAll Steam games are available for others to copy on their computers.
>>43443350The post I replied to said:>I am not buying anything, especially when it's not getting preserved cuz I know jack and shit about hosting. I will be far more inclined to buy anything if there's a 100% guarantee that it will be preserved on a site like pony.games and it is open for download by other people.I reminded that anon that there's already a site where "there's a 100% guarantee that it will be preserved" and "it is open for download by other people". Anon should therefore either (1) go buy some games and upload them or (2) STFU and GTFO
>>43443400Public access is absolutely necessary for preservation. Anything else won't end up being enough. As long as public access is restricted to anything it will still be at risk of becoming lost media. Sure, free pony vidya is safe now, same with a lot of pony flash media because Flashpoint exists, but what about anything paywalled? OP said that he has it saved, but refuses to share it therefore it's at risk of becoming lost media sooner than later.
So will it have a comment system?
>>43445464The moment you add a comment system glowniggers will start spamming CP and terror threats there.
>>43442591
>>43445464>>43445648Still thinking on it. Might need to make it manually approved. Like, submitting a comment and waiting for a mod to approve it for it to show on the page. Should filter out all but the most esoteric dog whistles.
>>43446276
>>43447074

>>43446461>submitting a comment and waiting for a mod to approve it for it to show on the pageIt sucks, but I don't see any other option than premoderation. You can somewhat speed it up by AI pre-reviewer and several mods, but you still need to be in the loop for safety.

>>43447735DMCA takedowns? For pony vidya? Are you high or mentally stunted?
>>43451075>people selling products would never ever file takedowns or otherwise pressure removal of pirate copies broretard
>>43451075>DMCA takedowns? For pony vidya?There were DMCA takedowns for pony media, and games classify as such.In the early days of the "Brony" fandom, Ponyarchive was the premier, centralized hub for fans to download high-definition, DRM-free episodes of the show. In December 2011, the site’s operators abruptly announced that Ponyarchive was officially shutting down. While the admins kept the exact details quiet to avoid legal escalations, the community widely documented that the closure was forced by aggressive legal pressure and copyright complaints surrounding the direct distribution of Hasbro’s intellectual property.Another massive hit to the community occurred in early 2013. The website mlp-fim.com served as an incredibly popular aggregate streaming site where fans could watch every single episode. On March 6, 2013, the site officially received a sweeping DMCA takedown notice. Because the site relied heavily on embedding video streams—many of which were hosted on YouTube—the DMCA notice forced the site's creators to remove all video links, rendering the streaming archive completely defunct.
>>43451696>the "Brony" fandom>—get out of here faggot (also, yayponies)But >>43447735 does have a point
>>43451159>>people selling products would never ever file takedowns or otherwise pressure removal of pirate copies broThis exact thing has happened at least three times that I know of1. Fandom musicians spamming the big music archive with takedowns until the guy running it gave up and just shut it down2. Pony Town vs Dergun Town3. Pony Town vs Ashes Town
>>43451919>2. Pony Town vs Dergun Town>3. Pony Town vs Ashes TownKimd makes one think that Pony Town is controlled by glowies. They are too bold for filing DMCAs when their own project can be taken down by Hasbro upon hearing that.
>>43451795>>the "Brony" fandom>>—My dude, that's called copypaste.
>>43452063>their own project can be taken down by HasbroNo it can't. There are no canon characters at all, and it doesn't even use the canon art style (though art style isn't copyrightable anyway)
>>43452482>No it can'tHasbro can send C&D letter regardless of that. And it would be expected of them to send it immediately when some pony projects starts to issue DMCA takedown requests as if they are legal owners of pony IP.
>>43452485>pony projects starts to issue DMCA takedown requests as if they are legal owners of pony IPPony Town devs are legal owners of Pony Town IP, which has no connection whatsoever to any Hasbro IP. Hasbro getting involved in this would make about as much sense as Hasbro going after Nintendo because Nintendo tried to take down a Metroid fangame
>>43452063>when their own project can be taken down by HasbroGod I fucking wish.
>>43450920
>>43451159Isn't pony.games admin Russian? I think it was something like that. He can simply ignore any and all such requests. There is nothing that would stop him from uploading the paywalled pony vidya he has outside of that weird need to hoard or whatever this type of faggotry is called.
>>43453282>He can simply ignore any and all such requests.If he wants to host on .ru, sure. Otherwise the domain owner can take action on his behalf.

>>43454492Can't think of much.I guess people want to see updates, but that'll have to wait a bit. The site will be updated every once in a while. But more substantial updates will come in the following months. I'll post another thread then.Until then you can let this one die. Thank you guys for bumping it.And on the paid games thing. It's coming more on an angle of morality. The devs are our peers, we should help them out if they ask for it.So I'll reiterate it. No, paid games which are available in various stores, are not coming to the site.I know it's just like one guy asking for it, but that's my answer

>>43454645Morality-shmorality. What's the point of listing the games if you are going to be such a moralist and never ever make it possible to actually preserve them? Seriously, what's wrong with you? Did you get dropped on your head one time too many? I really don't get people like you.
>>43455717Entitled consoomer. No you're not getting games that are still for sale for free, with preservation as an excuse. Fucking brownoid mindset.
