Official thread for Home: Equestria and 3D horse autism. Most up to date version is v0.0.4-maredevThis is my pony AI slice of life 3d Desktop/VR game. Talk to ponies, hug them, pet them, boop them, kiss them, smack them on the ass, get drunk on cider, wagie at the hayburger, watch Trixie shows, visit Luna in your dreams...>Do I need a VR headset?No! Desktop is near-identical. Quest and PC VR both work.>AI? What do you mean by this?The game is mostly talking to mares with AI. You can play without it, but you'll just have a bunch of silent mares. See >>>/mlp/chag for help.

v0.0.4-maredev patch notes>Ponies wait for you nowWhen you start talking to a pony she stops what she's doing and actually pays attention. Walk ~8 m away or don't say anything for a minute and she goes back to her schedule.>Pay poniesPonies have wallets now. Hit J to open a pony's profile (or point at her in VR), there's buttons to pay 5/20/50/100 bits. She gets told about the payment. The AI can't just decide to take or spend money on its own.>Trixie showsYou can hire Trixie for 50 bits from her profile page. She does a whole ~3 minute show with fireworks, 15-30 ponies show up to watch, and her icon pops up on the map. She'll also sometimes just do a show on her own.>LOG SHARING!!!!You can read back old conversations. It's in the pause menu and title screen. You can save any conversation as a picture, goes into your Pictures folder.>New menusUI overhaul merged into main. Thanks, MLPChag Anon. >In-game updater (Windows/Linux)The pause menu tells you when there's a new version and can download+install. You can turn this off in Settings > Updates.>Wardrobe8 new sock colours at the wardrobe mirror.>FixesApple trees work properly again. Ripe spring through autumn, regrow after 2 days. If you picked them in an older save they'll be back immediately.Love/friendship gain is roughly 2x faster now, but capped per reply and per conversation so you can't cheese it in one sitting.Hayburger blackscreen fixed.Enter to open chat doesn't drop whoever you're carrying anymore, and doesn't stand you up either.Your outfit stays on when you sleep.Fixed the "I think I hear someone knocking" line showing up in basically every indoor conversation.Ponies don't think you grabbed their hoof anymore when they raised it themselves.>QuestInstall over the old APK.I'll be releasing an overhaul and improvement to Trixie shows to see if auto-update works. Please reinstall for v0.0.4. If it works, it'll be the last time you need to reinstall.

>>43664423Best pony edition
>>43664496Trixie is very cute when she sleeps, yes!
>>43664496Worst pony edition*
ETA on the Rock Farm mod/expansion? I want Marble
>>43664531Probably after Canterlot, and then Cloudsdale.
>>43664531I want Limestone*ftfy!
>>43664438Based devanon adding my socks. Ill check out the new update when I'm not too tired from wageslaving
>>43664423Trixie is in this game? Dropped
>>43664438>>Pay poniesBut can ponies pay me? It'd open up the ability to RP some activities that aren't in the game yet. I've had Twilight and Rarity offer me a job doing something for them around the library/boutique, but pretending to do so and then telling them the job is done doesn't earn you any bits.I've also had Pinkie offer me sweets for free, but she's not able to actually do that, so maybe a gift-giving feature in general would be nice, where you can give and receive gifts or bits.
>>43664549Yes, they can!
This was mentioned at the end of last thread, but someone wrote up some lyrics for a Home: Equestria song. It'll be to the tune of the original FiM Theme (if you don't know it... the fuck are you doing here? Go look it up on youtube, retard). If any Anon's are interested in contributing, reply to this post, and if I get enough, I'll throw something together in audacity. This is mostly to gauge interest. Also to see if we need to improve the lyrics, or just go with what the other anon wrote. I'm not the one who wrote these, so, yknow.Devanon said that if we pull it off, he'll have it play occasionally in the menu. So, get those vocal chords going, fags.LYRICS:My Home:Equestria, My Home:EquestriaAhh ahh ahh ahh…My Home:EquestriaI used to wonder what gaming will bringMy Home:EquestriaUntil Devanon shared his project with meBig open world, tons of mares,AI minds, limitless mods,Posting threads, it's an easy feat,And drama makes it all complete!You have my Home:EquestriaDo you know you can do what you want?
>>43664438Appreciate your efforts and quick turnaround on updates devanon!
>>43664555Thread hitting bump limit so fast and so often that I have to put this shit on the double-time to get an update out of the door for each new thread so I don't finish it 5 minutes later and have the OP be outdated for a few days so please forgive me if these last few updates have been rushed I haven't really had the time to sit and test them rigorously
Love the new log system, fantastic work.
>>43664550Eggsellent
>Bug report anchorPlease reply here with bugs/issues/feature requests.
>>43664560Not DevAnon, but the Anon who pushed this.If you see problems or want more features, don't hesitate.
>>43664563Once again requesting an ARM linux build for standalone play on the steam frameFEX translation does not work and just crashes, Proton with the windows version crashes when booted in VR mode, and Quest version patched for the frame starts, but once you hit play and load a new save, it forever hangs in the void.If any of these could be made to work too, I would happily take it
>>43664551Maybe it should be>Don't you know the fun never ends Or something to parallel the "FRIEEEEEEEENDS" part.
>>43664569I'll work on it ASAP.
>>43664574Thank you devanon!I cant wait to go out into a large empty field with my headset so I can walk around ponyville with my own two feet!
>>43664578That's a really cool idea, shit. I wish I could do that without worrying about tripping on shit or being seen by people. I hope it actually works in game, I'm not sure how the code handles moving around physically. Let me know.
>>43664565Would love to see more themes, it got a little buggy when selecting text. I picked 5 lines but when I chose picture mode all the other lines were selected too. Had to pick and unpick a couple of times before it behaved properly, could've been a fluke or mistake on my part though.
>>43664570>Do you know you can do what you want?sums up the arguing that took most of the last thread, I think. Although phonetically it doesn't hold up...
>>43664423I reckon we should have an anchor for logs,mods,videos,greens,wip or ideas!
>>43664597I'd prefer the fun little theme song not to focus too much on some gay drama
>>43664570I was thinking the ending needed to be redone too. It kinda just falls flat near the end. I like your idea. Maybe "Don't you know the ride never ends"? I think that sounds good, especially if a bunch of anons are singing in harmony?
>>43664600true, should be something more time-proofYou have my Home:EquestriaThat's where I'm going to beeeeeewould fit nicely, being the main menu music
>>43664551Lyrically, wouldn't it make more sense to have it be>I used to wonder what gaming would beIt fits with the original lyrics better
>>43664438>Love/friendship gain is roughly 2x faster now, but capped per reply and per conversation so you can't cheese it in one sitting.Would it be possible to have an option for "classic" slower love/friendship gain in settings? I loved the pace of the game in previous versions and wouldn't have changed it, personally. Then again, I might end up liking it better the new way, but it'd be nice to have the option.
>>43664606>Don't you know the ride never ends"?I like this idea
>>43664569Makes me a bit sad I lost the lottery for Steam Frames, but real happy for you.
>>43664438>Love/friendship gain is roughly 2x faster nowIf you didn't get to 100 love with your waifu before this update, then you didn't beat the game.
So, how do I get text to speech to work? When I press T and speak in the microphone, I just get a message "Speech recognition could not read this recording." Do I need to install something (I'm using Mint) or connect somewhere, or how does this work?
>>43664438What's the time system like behind the scenes? The VN in /chag/ has a whole calendar with seasons and holidays and whatnot. Seasons and weather might be too much to implement in one go, but if you can grab that calendar the date and any special events could just be an optional string sent to the model. If it could be updated in game then you could even schedule dates and ponies could learn Anon's birthday and such.Also thanks a lot for the fixes like the knocking issue and hoof grab. Immersion breaking stuff is doubly impactful in simulations like this.
>>43664423Can I play this game without a microphone, just by typing? My headset broke recently.
Good news everypony! Due to my ADHD, we might be able to get assets into the game easier! Found a way of taking an image and making a 3D render.https://u.pone.rs/lelhddki.webm>>43664551I made some horrors. Enjoy. Country: https://u.pone.rs/nbfauiiw.wavEpic: https://u.pone.rs/feigvoyy.wavPop: https://u.pone.rs/xpupdpni.wav
>>43664644you reminded me of an old mod for GTA IV that would set the time and weather to follow your PC's clock and weather app. Might be some takers for such a feature.Regarding birthdays, each pony could have their date to invite friends for celebration. If there's nothing canon established, we could use Pony Days?
>>43664551 (me)A lot of good suggestions to update the lyrics so far, anons! I'm trying to think up something to replace the "and drama makes it all complete" line, as another anon said, the drama line kinda dates it, we need something timeless. So far I've come up with:>And (you) make it all complete>And anon makes it all complete>And shitposts make it all completeI'm not a lyric writer though, so, maybe these suck, if someone comes up with something better, I am all ears. Once we get this sorted, I'll post the updated lyrics and we can begin getting audio in.
>>43664671Holy AutismUI. How many GB of VRAM does all this use? I need to find a fucking job and upgrade my old PC.
Are the models and files for the 4cc open-source? I want to port the 4cc scarf as a purchasable accessory in game, along with some other things.

>>43664689>Are the models and files for the 4cc open-source? I want to port the 4cc scarf as a purchasable accessory in game, along with some other things.
>>43664692Seriously?! That little? How long does it take?
>>43664695Is that a bad idea? I love my 4cc scarf, and I think it looks cool.

>>43664710>>43664551 (me)I love it anon! For the ending I'm going to use "Do you know the ride never eeeends", just because I think it fits a bit better.So, everypony! Below are the finalized lyrics unless someone really, really has a problem with it. Please begin sending in clips of you singing. Once I think we have enough, I'll begin the fun of making things in audacity. There's no real deadline, though I would like to get it done before the thread reaches the limit.LYRICS:My Home:Equestria, My Home:EquestriaAhh ahh ahh ahh…My Home:EquestriaI used to wonder what gaming would beMy Home:EquestriaUntil Devanon shared his project with meBig open world, tons of mares,AI minds, as real as they get,Sperging romance, it's an easy feat,And mods will make it all complete!You have my Home:EquestriaDo you know the ride never eeeeeends!
>>43664558Please don't feel you need to rush anything out devanon. No one's gonna fault you for not getting an update out every new thread.
>>43664781The point of a sale team is to sell a product that doesn't exist.
