devlog 11/21/2024 Crosspost: Tick Tock Tick Tock


Crossposting this to Sala's Escape and Princess Rescue because it applies to both:

Today thanks to this post on steam I've made a crude timer system in Princess rescue. I set up these crystals to light up when a variable ticks based on how many frames have passed. This has profound implications for temporary mind control, day/night cycles/ temporary potions, etc.

For Princess Rescue:

Some of you have said you'd like to see some more drone stuff. I might need your help with one of the ideas and it might take some time to do it. First, as Bronytee72 suggested (Wonderful fellow, I worked for him before.) there should be special CGs if you are defeated by one of the drone princesses. I think I can do that at some point.

Now... for your part...  when the whole party has been droned, they are taken to a special map... the last remaining bastion of free ponies in all of equestria. (Imagine the corruption ending in Third Crisis but a lot more simplified) but I need more ponies to tie up. So in the comments, I need you to suggest some for this.

And yes, provided you have the rights to OCs, we can use OCs too.

The following ponies/creatures are already in use in future levels: Spitfire, Trixie, Lily Valley, Orange Swirl, Gilda, Screwloose, Meadow Song, Cherry Berry, Thorax, Trenderhoof (dead,) Sunburst, Braeburn, Aloe, Sassy Saddles, Mrs. Cake, Anon, Ropemistress, Sapphire Shores, Stellar Flare, Derpy Hooves, Starlight glimmer, noteworthy, carrot top, golden harvest, rainbowshine

Well, idk if you still want some ponies to tied up, here one OC of mine (She has a rare condition, that weakens her magic at day and makes it stronger at night. Also she can kinda "fall" more easible for King Sombras Corruption, since she has learned some Dark Magic Spells and can resist the "influence" of the corruption a bit but not for long and also has her own eye veil)



she'll do!

thx and how would the droned princesses than act on that special map (would they just be saying commands on repeat or could have some "personal" messages to the last free willing ponys, since i just simplyfied the backstory of the OC and adapted it a bit to your game, since she had kinda a good relation to princess Luna)

The droned princesses on the special map would just kidnap mares. They pretty well don't have any more free will at that point.

ok, thx for the answer 

You could just add a bunch of Pinkie Pie clones. Saves time and can be easily made as an excuse. 

Not to mention, you could add the siren sisters. Adagio and the band. They would fit in the anthro universe. Hell, they can even serve as a boss.

You know, I might be able to work them in somewhere too... just not sure where. Hmm...

Well, tell me what you have in store and I can fill in the blanks.

I was thinking the dazzlings could be prisoners somewhere, idk. No way Sombra/Flimflam/Chrysalis would let them get in the way.

Ah. That makes sense. Although I feel like they would be bosses. If I knew what themes each dungeon has, I can think of an idea where to place them. 

The schemes are as follows:

  • drone factory: the one in the demo, self explanatory. Drones/hypno.
  • Vampire: Vampires, gothic horror feel
  • Chaos: there are multiple ways this one is played, but the theme is the same: it's total chaos.
  • Mansion: Maids, servitude, and trying not to piss off the head maid.
  • Factory: Robots and Machines. Specifically fuck machines.
  • Changeling hive: Slime, changelings, treachery.
  • Asylum: Straitjackets, questioning reality.
  • Everfree Forest: ???? (I'm not spoilering this one, I legitimately have no idea what I'm going to do with this one.)

If you can think of something, let me know. But I find it unlikely the sirens would co-operate with King Sombra/Flim Flam/Chrysalis. From what I saw in Rainbow Rocks, they seem to be the usurping type and would probably get double-crossed and enslaved right quick.

I don't know how much you've planned already but I think Princess Ember could be a good addition

You know what? You just made me think of a place to put her.

well, If we can suggest OC's then i'm going to take the liberty to submit mine, it would be awesome if you use it (my ponysona is a mare btw), If not then I think seeing daring do could be awesome too
