Brony Fan FairTexas' very own Brony Fan Fair might be over two months away, but in a surprise move the organizers have decided to relse a promotional visual novel starring Rising Star and Hrtland, two of the convention's mascots. The first portion of the game will be relsed on the 25th of June, so you can expect our review of it sometime around then. Thankfully the tm avoids the mistake that Filly Gamez made withWelcome to Ponyvillnd utilizes the Ren'Py engine, which mns that it have Mac/Linux support for those of us who refuse to use 's abominable operating system.
Below the brk you can find the original press relse, which has some more detailed info on the game's story and a good word put in for it by one of Deus Ex's writers.
Hey everypony! We've got a trt for you. An upcoming fan-made visual novel is in the works starring the pony mascots Rising Star and Hrtland. Both characters are representatives of Brony Fan Fair, an upcoming convention in Austin, TX on September 13th-15th at the Holiday Inn Austin Midtown.
Lights in the Sky is the story of Rising Star’s journey to find her cutie mark. As a farm filly, Rising Star tries hard to fulfill the responsibilities given to her by her older sister, Hrtland. But an opportunity arises where she finds that her hrt’s desire may rest outside the boundaries of the Star Fields family farm. Rising Star will be put to the test as she is forced to decide between adherence to her sister’s wishes or the yrning to follow her own drms.
The first part of the novel will be available on June 25th, 2013 on the Brony Fan Fair website. Players will be able to play Rising Star’s exploration of the Manehatten Astronomical Society building, the first leg of her journey.
Lights in the Sky is a short-and-sweet crtion of Peter Jiang, Chairman for Brony Fan Fair. The visual novel was a final project for the "Writing and Narration for Games" spring semester class at the University of Texas at Austin taught by Sheldon Pacotti (writer on Deus Ex) and is being developed for younger audiences. Pacotti comments: "...[A]s a work of interactive fiction -- from what I've seen -- it succeeds on every level. There is conflict, exploration, a sense of adventure, and the writing always stays safely in the established My Little Pony universe."
