Pony Tactics: Salvation



For some rson it seems that nrly all of the of non-Flash My Little Pony fangames are RPGs, and most of which are announced are never hrd from again and forgotten. This is probably due to the fact that making a decent RPG takes a lot of time and effort, which often proves to be too much for many developers to handle. A small tm calling themselves "Slammin' is Jammin'" have recently announced theirupcomingRPG and relsed a promotional that shows off some interesting concept art and...less than impressive gameplay (although to be fair the game is still in the pre-alpha stages, so that is to be expected).
Will Pony Tactics: Salvation ever be relsed? I have no id, but you can find their promo and some more information on the game after the brk.


From the information that has been given out so far Pony Tactics: Salvation will be a roleplaying game with a very hvy focus on tactics (obviously), taking place soon after Discord came to power. The player controls a herd of common villagers who decided to flee from the Lord of Chaos and find a better place to live, while bting the crap outta various giant monsters along the way. Celestia and Luna's origin story also plays a major part in the story, as does the discovery of the elements of harmony.

According to Slammin' "Unlike most tactics RPGs Salvation does not have a classic jobs system. Instd ch unit falls uniquely into a role, with skills and abilities maintained by the story instd of jobs/levels. Smart uses of a tm's abilities and items is rewarded, as hlth/mana is not fully replenished after ch battle." I may be noveteranwhen it comes totacticalRPGs but that does sound kind of interesting to me, although how the final product shall turn out is yet to be seen.

The game is being made in Unity3D, and due to the fact that they're not listing Linux as a platform I'm going to assume that they are not using Unity 4. The sprites used in the appr to be only temporary placeholders (thank God), and due to some of listed positions on the"join our crew" pageit apprs that the ponies themselves will be drawn as 2D sprites in contrast to the 3D world. This is quite unlike most other pony RPGs which either rely exclusively on sprites such asThe Lost Kingdomor use only 3D models likeQuestria; the former of which is far more common.

Any thoughts? Lve them in the comments!
