It's pretty funny, considering the continuation of a rather dark edgy game is so retarded as ponies are running around in panic and try not to be fucked by perverted insects. And the fact you play as an alcoholic that swears a lot only doubles the whole idiocy. I want the seriousness to be hidden in little moments that are very easy to miss.

They continue to cause havok and destruction, of course. This will keep happening behind the curtain. Like its something so out of the mood, it's completely unrelated and should be labeled "unimportant". If a monster bites a pony its only a matter of time before she or he becomes it, as if the momentum of will to harm is passed from one body to another, looping the cycle. By the time Berry will confront Chrysalis, there will be close to no survivors.

Did I mention that all life forms, excluding changelings, are affected by the curse, inclusing animals and plants? The only difference is how much time it takes. Afterall, Snips only tripped on that hat and got away with slightly growing in size while Snails became a one ugly mess of a stallion.

Yeah. Like leafs on trees starting to fall, Grass getting all weird etc... It should get closer to a feeling that the more steps you take to your final destination the more you understand how much change has taken place. Life is a journey. You walk in as one person but walk out as completely another. Though I can't use the same "turned into a monster" ending. It needs to be something different.

A lot of bricks were left unturned, I admit. I still havent explained why trixie was hated so much that she was driven to buy that damn alicorn amulet, aka the element of justice. I also want for Berry to depict being stuck in a position where there are countless choices to consider but they leave to the same outcome. Maybe it is possible for Berry Punch to quit drinking and something like that. There is also a hidden depth that can be explored in a relationship between minuette and berry punch, as well as some parallels drawn. I can sense my mind rushing again deep into this world of opportunities.

As always, I will keep updating with my findings and ideas.

Anyway, here's some battle music I've made two weeks ago. I still struggle to seal its purpose since its, despite being energetic, is too attention grabbing. It's a flaw of mine that each time I do shit I try to make a next banger or something.

I guess I better just draw things first. Music ideas will follow suit.

LISA, OFF and Yume Nikki are the "holy trinity" of dark RPGmaker games. I haven't played Yume Nikki (really should, it's free) but it's about a girl who adventures through surreal dreams. Considering that dreamwalking is canon in MLP maybe something can be made of it, if not here then in some future project. OFF has some similar themes to Element of Justice which is quite interesting. Don't want to be distracting but these are short games and they are certainly what you'd be interested it.

Okay, so I'm basically going full-house with this idea. aside from boosting your damage, berry's moonshine allows you to save. You've got nine shots but you always can buy more alcohol later (if you're a pussy). The full challenge will be compleating the game without saving, aka hard mode. also, Applejack joins you after you pass out your second time, not first. So for things to be easy you really gotta drink.

I really like that opening. Makes Berry look like a total loser and has a bit of slapstick humor. If the game's an homage to LISA don't worry too much about reimagining its mechanics, as long as inspiration from other sources gets used too.

There will be 7 deadly sins and 4 ponies of apocalypse. Each pony starts the chain reaction that leads to world imploding. While the first element is already enough to doom the entire pony population, other incidents can also boost the process. The fifth installement will feature the resolution in which four victims of circumstances wake up without any memory of what they did, only to slowly realize the mistakes of their ways. This time however they are not stranded to fail. Together they have a glimpse of hope that will shine its way through.

Twiloght Sparkle's family trees are the result of Princess Celestia manipulating events behind the scenes and pairing the strongest and smartest Unicorns with the biggest hearts in Canterlot for over a thousand years. Shining Armour and the Crystal Empire were down payments promised to Cadence for the parts she played in helping Celestia's chosen couples get together and have the correct number of foals in time for Princess Luna's release.

Sorry, yall. Nothing to spoil yet regarding element of lust (I will only lit the fireworks when it's show time). So I will show something from the future update.

I've been wondering why Trixie has no teeth. And so I came up with giving trixie a new move that explains it. Man, it sure takes time to write something subtle.

Speaking of the hero of the occasion, I've changed Berry's attutude a little so her slurs can land on your ears better. Before she was talking about urine and her pussy and this is just painful to listen to.

I've changed it so now her lines are more rich in context while still having that character-defining edge to it. In this picture Berry confuses Octy for a salesmare because Octy is wearing a bow. Berry now also makes eye contact, that helps to visually end the conversation. Otherwise you don't know when the dialog is over after she finishes talking.

I've removed all mentions about drugs too. So in order to conteract my loss I came up with an idea to hint at Vinyl's addiction via item description. As you know, eye shrinking is related to pupil constriction, which is on itself a sign of substance abuse (mostly heroin). This is much better than playing a cutscene in which Vinyl says she stole money to get high. I like this choice of words better not only because it's subtle but because it stiches things together so nicely. Vinyl wore glasses long before she met Octavia. And this way you know her motive.

You don't know it yet but Minuette has played her part in this story. She is a greedy owner of the pawn shop who seeks for personal gain behind her cheerful facade. She is the one Vinyl has sold Octy's violin to, resulting in Octavia loosing her job and becoming a cheap cellist for hire. And in the end the whole trilogy is about those three ponies. Those three broken souls.

Have you ever felt calm in moments when it's anything but calm? As if you are almost aware of the severity of the situation you are in but you simply don't want to accept that, given that it's just so much easier to not see it. When the sun brights warm you don't notice that the world turns cold and static. The immoral becomes moral. And the anormal becomes the new normal.

Berry Punch has a limitless arcenal of Moonshine at her disposal. However, the more you drink - the less you progress. You don't level up in fights if you are drunk, but you may learn new skills while drunk as time goes on. Getting drunk is a metaphor for feeling "safe", saving yourself the trouble to fear for your death. Usually you are stressed that you could die at any moment, especially now that the whole world is ending. But when you are drunk you simply stop caring about all that. The real challenge would be to stop drinking altogether and listen to the advise of a kind gray stranger. The real challenge would be sharing Octy's fate of not being able to save throughout an entire game.

Starlight Glimmer will join Berry as a party member if such thing ever occurs.

MP stands for magical Points. Unlike other games, the world of Equestria obeys the single rule -friendship is magic. You don't regain your MP by relying on resting or items. You regain Magical points by spending time with your party members and putting your trust in them. Talking to them and earning your place in their hearts. Friendhip converts to magic, which by itself is converted to MP.

TP stands for Technical points and does not require anything but your anger to get the fighting through.

There will be some of my oc's in the game. One of which is a pony named Double Down. As her name suggests, she is a gambler. She is often found near a casino cashing in her last savings just to get back in the game.

Double down is happy that the word is ending because noone will come after her poker debts anymore. She can finally be at peace.
