You mean you weren't gonna buy 2nd Encore anyway? Shame on you =P

Anyway, a COMPLETE CHANGE IN ENGINES should be more than enough to excuse the drought of new info, mang. Just sit tight

Can't really say. Few people understand how sg engine works under the hood and how well documented it is.

Screw it, I haven't been following the new season at all, but I'll be down for this.

...and I'll try to get a Fighting is Magic setup going at the party as well? God I hope TE 2.0 is finished by that time...

Yup, it's the Z engine. That doesn't make any guarantees about what the gameplay or design or balance will be like, but at the very least it'll mean some basic QoL things are possible that they couldn't do before, like allowing the game to have a higher resolution than 640x480, allowing 2 simultaneous button presses for inputs, and from what I presume a much better system for making/storing palettes than what FM2k could do, on top of the other stuff listed there.

The previous game was very much "this is extremely cute and well designed despite feeling super rough cause FM2k", so the new engine should give them a chance to land something a little more solid feeling.

It looks like the Mane6 project may need its own thread in the near future. Until then...

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Reindeer a best, though. I wonder if they'll stay with the BlazBlue controls or change to 6 button. Glad to see updates so quickly in a row!

I'm really hoping for six buttons, but that's probably the recurring nightmares from the FM2K engine.

Just please no holding a direction to air-tech

I'm fine with 4 buttons, since I presume it'd make the game easier to develop/animate. But...

Just please no holding a direction to air-tech

Holy crap this ;_;

okay, so I was gonna run a strawpoll to see if the people going to Combo Breaker wanted to see the new episode in whatever stream quality exists at the time, or just wait for 1080p master race to appear so we can all watch it later. Then I looked at the schedule and saw that the other half of SG pools will be happening at the same time the episode goes live, so I guess we'll be 1080p boys.

Now I guess the question is who wants to do the downloadin'

Episode 100 tomorrow.
I can't wait for all the headcanons to die.
All i want is my girl carrot top to be voiced and i'll be happy

also, i didn't know Ponyville had its own Cindy Vortex

As far as unexpected sequels go, this one is pretty high on my list.

That said, one of my fav fanworks got a part 2 just a few days back:

every fucking time

I thought Derpy/Ditzy/Muffin, Dr. Hooves, and the flowershop ponies were too on the nose, but Vinyl Scratch and Octavia were prefect, Steven Magnet was fine, and OH MY GOD THEY WENT WITH THE "HIDDEN PAST AS A SPY" HEADCANON BACKSTORY FOR BONBON WHAT THE HELL YOU GENIUSES!!!

Overall, I felt that the episode fumbled on some of the obligatory fanservice, and was too on the nose in a couple instances, but did well enough with enough characters that I liked it.

We can't set up Karnovs without expecting the entire East Coast to show up, so I say do it

If the Blank Flanks were the main characters, then yeah it could be a series finale.

I think this was the writers way of saying "we're going to stop endlessly teasing they will learn a skill that will satisfy nobody and just let them do what they do best."

True, but it could very well be a sign that things are wrapping up for the true end. To say nothing of the fact that a bunch of antagonists have been redeemed by now and Rarity has achieved her ultimate goal of being a bigshot in canterlot, with Rainbow probably soon to follow as a wonderbolt

after that, all we need is a resolution on AJ'sparents and spike's princesshood (you know it will happen)

Dash is pretty much a junior member of the Bolts at this point so maybe she could discover a new goal she wants to strive for that involves Daring Do. Spike does need some kind of leadership position or to win Rarity's heart or something to move his character forward.

This show doesn't like to delve into the family backstories of its main characters. They keep introducing new siblings (Fluttershy's brother is next) but never anypony's parents. And considering the potentially dark tale of the Apples, I doubt they will ever touch it.

In other news, we just found out today that when Lauren Faust discovered what a Longma was (when researching Rainbow's replacement in TFH), her first reaction was, "Crap! We should've made Discord a Longma!"

Now let's not get carried away here. For the forseeable future, we still have season 6 and the movie in 2017 to look forward to.

I seriously doubt Hasbro is done with the Friendship is Magic cash cow even if the show ends in 2017. They successfully launched that Equestria Girls nonsense based solely on the popularity of the characters. Who aren't the same ones but close enough to the audience. They can still milk this show with another spin off or two.

With a reboot they risk losing whatever adult audience is left who actually buy their comic books and premium line of pony toys. Unless they just go the Transformers route and make the exact same characters in different universes. Safest bet for them.

Not saying it won't be. Just saying there's more down the pipeline.
