I will admit that I do like some ships (like Lyra and Bonbon), but they aren't going to be the focus. At the very most, it will be hinted amongst other characters, but it will never involve the player.Jaguarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333255133779562829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052434082793262561.post-92090992348687649282012-02-29T21:07:47.494-05:002012-02-29T21:07:47.494-05:00I am still looking forward to this game, but I am ...I am still looking forward to this game, but I am a bit disappointed that we won't be able to pursue romantic relationships as per a Harvest Moon/Rune Factory game.<br /><br />I understand your decision to make it more about friendship like everypony's favourite TV show, but without the option to woo a chosen mare/stallion (if we get the option of male/female earth ponies) then to me it's going to feel more like Farmville with a town and NPCs to interact with than an adaptation of Harvest Moon.<br /><br />On the other hand, since this will be run on a C++ engine, trying to integrate the differences in relationship between friendship (for ineligible ponies) and romance (for eligible ponies) would require quite a few more...it's been a while since I've used C++, but I understand that that would require a lot more time to compile all that code.Shire Folkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05868569247327744118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7052434082793262561.post-63588296474337769282012-02-29T20:49:40.773-05:002012-02-29T20:49:40.773-05:00I'm glad to hear that you'll look into the...I'm glad to hear that you'll look into the bleeps in the dialogues! I actually like the idea of them, and do agree that without them the atmosphere becomes quieter, so having them there but with a lower volume sounds ideal, if that is doable. <br /><br />Oh, I'll look forward to the future music themes! The one in the video was very nice.<br /><br />Choosing friendly relationships rather than romantic ones is okay. You can still get good character chemistry out of those, as seen in the TV show. You're probably right about reaching a larger audience that way. (I like shipping myself, but not everybody does and I think that it's neat that you're taking that into account.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
