I am working on a (mainly for) VR, OR desktop game called Home: Equestria, which is meant to be as immersive an experience as possible into what Equestria is to (You). Talk to ponies, they send you to do stuff, things happen, it's all very up-in-the air whilst I get the main core functions to work before adding actual content. If you're familiar with 3d modeling or walk cycle animations, or music, or game design, or anything, drop a burner email and I'll reach out to you. Payment would probably be foregone here because of my limited resources, this is purely a passion project. I have the map and locomotion and such working, but I need the ponies walk cycle and I need to start designing building interiors, of which there will be hopefully many. Also, yes, you will be able to sex & romance the mares.If you don't have any skillz you can bring to the stable, drop something you'd like to see in the game so I can further flesh out the vision for development.
>>43417611You're doing Faust's work, anon
>>43417611Do you set who you're playing as like Big Macintosh, Shining Armor, etc?
>>43417615Since it'll be mainly designed for VR, you will be playing as Anon, but a Anonpony might be figured out later for desktop exclusively.
Can't wait for this to never come out.
>>43417617Oooh nice, i'll be looking forward to the desktop one since anonponies are my favourite :D
>>43417618Nothing will ever come out if nobody ever tries.
>>43417611Second for 'you're never going to finish it'.
>>43417611I don't know if he still posts here. But this guy had a 3D Ponyville map and ponies.https://youtu.be/5VPpeGdExkwMaybe try to contact him.
>>43417641I tried to contact him before this, but I can try again. It's a very nice map.
Will there be a SFW version of the game?I've always wanted an Equestria sim of some kind, but I wouldn't want a bunch of lewd models sitting on my drive somewhere.(And in general, backside anatomy of any species just looks gross to me, IMO, so I'd rather not see it.)
>>43417641I wish Blob would upload again :(
>>43417643Faggot
>>43417647Blob, if you see this, please accept my friend request on Dicksword, or drop a burner email for me to contact you for assets and such. It would be such a huge honor to continue your work.
>>43417655I sent him money on his ko-fi with a message, too. I hope he sees it.
>>43417611Filly status?
>43417643Moralfags and underage b& like (you) begone. >>43417611I know a tiny bit of animating, but I haven’t animated any walk cycles, what’re the rigs and models you’re using? I assume that i have to animate the models within blender though which shouldn’t be too hard to figure out (after all how different can it be from Adobe Animate or SFM?)
>>43417641I miss those goofy ass AI chat streams he did
>pornslopInsta skipStill good luck anon dont get burned out like usually these type of projects end , just do stuff when you have time and share updates if you want opinions but never quit you own vision.
>>43417683The sex will not be an upfront & easy feature to access and will probably be long in the future. My vision is that you have to work for it, meaningfully, and there's a record of everything that you do that affects how the rest perceive you. Sex is part of intimacy and love, after all, and omitting it wouldn't be very immersive.
>>43417611>Talk to poniesIs it scripted dialogue or will I be able to say whatever I want and get a response from an LLM?
>>43417705Either or.
>>43417668Ideally I want to use one standardized model that I can customize for all of them relatively easily. Openpony is probably the best candidate for this.
>Board quality goes down>Moralfaggotry goes up Hmm.
>>43417689>My vision is that you have to work for it, meaningfully, and there's a record of everything that you do that affects how the rest perceive you. Sex is part of intimacy and love, after allOn the one hand, mad respect for having a realistic view on this, especially for a game.>and omitting it wouldn't be very immersive.>aka: no SFW versionOn the other hand, I'm not really interested in something *that* immersive.
>>43417731>Muh moralfa-Don't care. I want a cute and wholesome relationship with a mare before I fuck her brains out.
>>43417735You can just not do sex. Their bits hanging out will be a toggle.
>>43417731Nobody asked for your opinion, schizo.
>>43417617An Anon in Equestria? Cool, sounds great, hope it all comes to fruition.
>>43417741Looks like I struck a nerve.
>>43417707Have you seen Pony Pony Paradise? A version of that but where you're able to physically walk around town sounds like it could be a lot of fun.
>>43417746For my biggest fan~~~
>>43417747I play PPP often, it's my main inspo.
Ah. It was the sunfag autist the whole time. I see.
>>43417754No, I'm a dashfag.
>>43417623Everybody's tried, and nothing's come out.
>>43417611I havent done much 3d modelling lately but I do have experience with it. What would you be looking for? I've done creatures and objects before
>>43417801Mostly working with ponies, but maybe making objects for the internal houses, though those might be kitbashed quite hard.
>>43417641I was just about to link blob's videos. I wish he would release everything he used to make these.
>>43417750Nice. I can't help with animations or modeling, which is obviously going to be the biggest hurdle, but if you ever manage to find someone willing to handle that, you should post about it on /chag/. You'll have a few dozen autists willing to playtest it, and I'd be happy to work on backend systems, especially anything that improves immersion.But only after I've seen that you've put a considerable amount of work into the project, and only so long as it remains anonymous. I don't think it's a coincidence that one of the few pony projects to actually succeed was open source and developed entirely on the board.
>>43417883>stays entirely anonymous Pinkie promise.
>>43417611Kino alert
This shouldn't be on 10.
>>43418527board is being slid
>>43418919board is being shid
>>43417611I've long lost all hope in this fandom ever producing a decent pony game
>>43417611I recognize all those Legends of Equestria assets, that screenshot looks like what LoE would look in a dream for someone who plays it often enough, familiar yet everything is feels off enough.
>>43419124We made a pact in 2011That we will forfeit any hope of a decent length, good gameIn return for eventually getting Equestria Online
>>43417611so is this banned from equestria daily but vr?
>>43417611>If you're familiar with 3d modeling or walk cycle animations, or music, or game design, or anything, drop a burner email and I'll reach out to you.>Payment would probably be foregone here because of my limited resources, this is purely a passion project.This is where you'd have to go solo, anon. Volunteer work is shit. This developer explains what it is to accept volunteer work in a real project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3vfcBpVxis&t=1981s (timestamp: 33:00, worth listening to 36:50)
I hope you're going to use custom pony models and not old ass SFM
>>43419300I see. Pony people are usually more autistically dedicated, though, so I hope one of (You) can pull through for me.
really miss that nigga blob. I hope he's fine.
>>43417611>tfw a drawfag in a 3d world wish i could help, all the best though. enough fags work on stuff like this, surely one will be the ticket
>>43419124>he thinks none of these games is decenthttps://ponepaste.org/610Nigger, you must have not seen a "decent" game in decades.
>>43421274>shovelware and modsI rest my case
>>43419946>I see.>Pony people are usually more autistically dedicated, though, so I hope one of (You) can pull through for me.Besides the antithology name (one) board project that's succeeded (Mare Fair doesn't count)
>>43421367>Besides the antithology name (one) board project that's succeeded (Mare Fair doesn't count)The PPP. They did redubs of the first five episodes of FIM.
>>43421370Okay name another one.
>>43421373>Okay name another one
>>43421373does chag's visual novel count?MPPP?there's been some art pack charity stuff
>>43421373>Okay name another one.Okay I got it, remember that time we shoved Seth's head in a toilet at a Dairy Queen?
>>43421373>
>>43421373The other PPP, though that was mostly the work of one or two anons
>>43421386It doesn't.
>>43421357>shovelwareI see. You are cursed to never play a pony game.
>>43421367>name (one) board project that's succeededThe project where we spitroasted your mom.Fuck off, tourist.
>>43421379>there's been some art pack charity stuffThis thread is about (unpaid) volunteer work.
>>43421399We've never done anything "BIG", admit it. Even >>43421379 mentions the /CHAG/ visual novel, but that includes no animation, just switches vectors. Face it, we'll never do anything.
>>43421411Suck my cock.
>>43421415>Suck my cock.Go watch Puffy AmiYumi you fucking fag.
>>43421411>weYou have nothing in common with the board. You have not achieved anything and will never achieve anything, that's true.
>>43421417>Go watch Puffy AmiYumi you fucking fag.OFFBOARDER STATUS: CONFIRMED
>>43421420>projection
>>43421418>You have nothing in common with the board. You have not achieved anything and will never achieve anything, that's true.>No argumentI accept your concession.
>>43417611Will the ponies fart?
>>43421411Im gonna make Celestia
>>43421429>Im gonna make CelestiaYou should see if you can make her look like Clopician's models.
>43421411
>>43421437You've shown your seethe by refusing to (You).
>>43421428Yes, but if Glimmer does that it will either kill everypony including her, leaving you to a haunted empty world, or it will kill you and the game will fry your PC components
>>43421260>wish i could help, all the best though.>enough fags work on stuff like this, surely one will be the ticketI'm in the same boat as you. Wishing you all the best, OP. Sorry. I wish I could help.
>>43421438Clopician
>>43421399Shpithroast...
>>43421420>>43421437Yeah I'm pretty sure it's b8.That being said, CreatorOfPony's (barbiefag) pony models have been around for at least 10 years and nobody's done anything substantial with them. I don't think anyone's even released walk cycles that they've made, yet. It'd be an ambitious project, but I have hope.
>>43417611GODSPEED OP.
>>43417611I'm hyped. I'm gonna play the shit outta this. Some nigger will probably break into my house, steal everything but my Meta Quest 3S, and I'll be so immersed because I'm finally in Equestria for real that (I) won't even care.
>>43421460
>>43421435>
>>43417611>>43417642Ignore the scoffers, OP. I believe in you
>>43417611I like the cel-shading.
>>43421502>I like the cel-shading.Me too. It reminds me of Borderlands.
>>43417611OP, you're not a faggot for once. Bless you.
>>43417804Hmmm, I probably can't help desu. I'm rusty on 3D and my rigging is much too basic to help with animation at present. Objects maybe, I hope you find some pals to work with OP
>>43421451RIP Shpitroasht...
Have a boop, OP.
>>43421411True, I just learned that the conniggers were behind every board project in the past, so it helps me sleep better if I believe that no board project has ever succeeded.
>>43421417We've had the leaked flash files for The Last Roundup and Sounds Of Silence and nobody's done shit. This anon is unironically right; this board never does shit, and never will. If you want to get shit done, you've gotta do it yourself (or hire out to some Chinese animation studio) take your pick; also btw OP is a fag, the cel-shading looks like shit.
>>43422707>leaked flash files for Sounds Of Silence>not a single anon has tried to make a kirin animationActually, totally, competely, absolutely grim.
>>43422731why would any anon make a animation on post faust cr*atures? You're Josh Haber, aren't you?
>>43422736Kirin are honorary Equestrians, they have the snowpity to prove it!
>>43422738so does your mom but I see no animations on anons doing ur mom
>>43422736Why some anons are against Kirins? They are cute, basically forest ponies. Unlike creatures, they aren't ugly, and they have snowpity
>>43417641>>43417836>I was just about to link blob's videos.me too dude i fucking miss that guy so much my heart hurtsi just want him back bros....
>>43422797The sentiment reflected in the words you write are right. Unfortunately, you're ESL, so you're wrong.
>>43419384ooouuuuaaagggghhhh game jam cheeks!!!!
>>43419384Unf Time Crunch plap plapThe frisbee game was fun.
>>43422985Kirin hooves typed that post.
>>43422707where are they postedI only have leaked scenes from some s7/s8 episodes and a show production animatic
boop
I appreciate the ambition, but you're already missing the most important and hardest part; Pony Models. I feel people would be more likely to help with a big project like this if you have something to show for it and to prove your skill.As someone who probably got the furthest out of anyone trying to make something with CreatorOfPony's models I just found them too limiting and trying to maintain their compatibility with the latest version of Blender was a chore. I've since been trying to make my own models, but because I have a full time job I just can't find the time to work on them. I wish everyday I could quit and work full time on pony.I have my own similar idea for a project, though smaller in scope to start. I would love to see a project like this come to fruition and I would help if I had anything to offer. But I believe a project like this needs a good base to start and that might be difficult to make more than solo.
>>43417611If you're able to in the program, I'd recommend making objects 1) partially responsive to external light sources, 2) emit their own color as a light source (without illuminating surrounding objects). This creates a place between cartoon and realism.
As >>43417836 said, remember to release whatever you've worked on even if the game isn't complete to help future projects.
>>43426873I'll try.>>43425129I hope to use VRChat models.>>43425674Certainly.
>>43417617but will pony playermodels in VR be added once deep-dive VR happens?
>>43428317I hope so, Anon. I really do.
>>43417611Blob is that you?
>a new VR pastel pony project beginAlways neat to see: may you go further than those who threaded those grounds before you.If you aren't too concerned with stealing stuff, Legend of Equestria's Unity project was leaked ages ago and has maps for Ponyville/Canterlot/etc.
> What're ya buyin'?What're ya schellin' (point)?
>>43417611Reach out to blob on YouTube. He has an unreal engine pony game with LLM ponies you can chat with.
>>43429642I tried already. I'll post an update to game progress tomorrow. Right now, my whole focus is trying to make a pony model work.
