Legends of Equestria

How's everyone doing today? It's me, Enigma Sage, coming to you live from the swirling, primordial mists of the Equestria Gaming of yesteryear, and I'm here to bring you some fresh LoE news.

For those of you headed to Bronycon this weekend, the team behind the ever-popular MMO Legends of Equestria will be there to showcase the game's latest developments in their panel on August 7. In addition, the team will be hosting one of their trademark Open Server Weekends August 14-16 so you can test out these additions for yourself. For more info, head on over to their website, or check out their announcement after the break.

That's right - Lyra's List is back! After a short break, Lyra's List will now be returning to the first day of every month.

The deadline for Lyra's List #17 submissions will be October 31, 2013 (Nightmare Night, anyone)? Anyways, the months of August and September have some pretty great submissions, and you can find them all after the break...

Futzi01, pony flash game maker nonpareil, just released his newest game - Twilight Wing. Play it now while it's still hot off the presses (seriously - this game is only a few minutes old at the time of writing)! It's a bullet hell style game where you must retrieve Elements of Harmony by blasting enemies with Twilight's magic. This game will definitely be getting a full review in the near future - but for now, simply play and enjoy!

A bit later than usual yes, but once again it's time for Lyra's List! Everything you need to know about Lyra's List, if you're unfamiliar, can be found here. Submissions for Lyra's List #16 should be in by July 31, 2013. You can check out the submissions for the month of June after the break...

Zilven Sparkle, the developer of Super Smash Ponies, has released another video of the work in progress, showing off the AI this time around in a good ol' fashioned man vs. machine Twilight Sparkle showdown. Super Smash Ponies is making some great headway, and the little glimpse of Rarity at the end provides a hint  towards future development. Enjoy!

If you were at Everfree NW this past weekend (it was an absolute blast, by the way), you may have noticed this game being played extensively in the Gaming Room. It's called Quickspell, and it was created in 48 hours by Sind and Amadiro for the Crystal Games Challenge. It was programmed using the LÖVE Framework, and features sprites from Urimas and music from RoccoW.

The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 is a game back from last summer that's somehow never gotten its own review until now. This game, made in the Unity engine by Texel, features art and design by egophiliac and music by Whitetail. It's a fast-paced game, and I'd definitely recommend giving it a play. Note: you'll have to have Unity Web Player installed before it'll work. Read more after the break...

Skullgirls Engine FAQ

Mane 6 released a FAQ about their new fighting game in the works, including some silhouettes of characters designed by none other than Lauren Faust herself. Although it's not directly pony related, we'll still follow this project, as it was born from pony, and features what appears to be a similar art aesthetic.

PentaStudios (the guys behind hits such as Waiting is Magic) have done it yet again, releasing Rainbow Dash's Cloud Dodging Fun, a rather extreme version of the standard cloud-dodger format. It's all around a great game - very polished, and surprisingly fun and intense for such a simple format. You can find the full review after the page break...

Hubworld has released My Little Mahjong, a ponified version of Mahjong Solitaire. The game itself is pretty simple, and aside from a few technical bugs, quite well done.
