Description
More TFH backstory! Thanks to all for the huge crowdfund bump in the last few days - you've secured stories for all our main characters and I have a LOT of work to do.But we still need your help! Please contribute and/or spread the word so Mane6 can make their game a reality.
Check out the crowdfund here.
Without further ado.....

I'm starting to get the feeling that a novel could be written from the final game. Heck, with this much backstory, this could happen!

As much as I was dissapointed to loose the oppertunity to play the MLP fighting game, with all the incredible work and story you have placed into this game I feel like it is an even better game in the end. And I am really liking National Velvet here. Here's to the game's success!

Okay, launched another wave of advertising into facebook, including one of the most animal lovin' sites around. Still, good to know you've added more tier reward refills, though I'm not sure who will step in to claim as of yet. Btw, there's a adorable baby giraffe at the Milwaukee zoo. Couldn't hurt to have it in the background you know...

Come to think of it, you have about 960 people in your Fan Club DA Group. Have you asked them at all to help spreading the word or donating a bit? Also, some punks on YouTube are mocking the prize tiers and that frustrates me a little since they have no idea how hard you and the Mane6 work every day using that money given to make such flawless work in pixels and animation.

I'm liking this lore so far. Really looking forward to Oleander's lore.

I absolutely love the relationship between the Ice Sprites and the Deer. It's a glorious and beautifully creative system.
Also would my fellow watchers let me know when someone starts making Ice Sprite plushes? I want one.

Alas, if not for two recent hospitalizations, I could have contributed a fair chunk indeed.
I'll see what I can manage!

Yes indeed.
But, MRSA's a crafty bug. It tends to come back unless one becomes a paranoid germophobe. *irradiates self, soaks in 100% bleach, then seals self in teflon coating and flees to the Moon* Now I'm safe!

Hope that works out for you up there.

what accent is she speaking?
German? Swedish? Russian?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1

I would love for this game to become a reality, it's a really interesting concept with great backstories for the characters~ I simply must comment on how much i love yours and Craig McCracken's work. I really hope I can draw alongside all of you as a fellow animator/artist one day! ouo

Okay, kicked it up a few notches with facebook and messaged Game Grumps, so we should all send messages to them via that angle to have them contribute to the campaign. www.facebook.com/GameGrumps/
Still no word from Wooden Torchlight...if he can just reply, we could get the support of 31,000 followers from his MLP-FiM DA Group.

Hmm, Ice Sprites and Reindeer relationship reminds me of nenets and such northern cultures a lot. hmm, probably unintentional though
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
That's just fabulous! Velvet reminds me of Zhang He from the legend of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the "Dynasty Warriors" videogame.

Kinda want to know about the red sleigh and why no one there knows about Santa, but I think some things are better left to fan speculation.
(Interdimensional elves selecting the best reindeer for Christmas runs FTW.)

This is a world with portals to other realms, and The Eight are sworn to secrecy. Or maybe their memories are wiped with magic carrots or something. (just making it up as I go!!!)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Eight? What no Rudoph? That was a thing I wanted to see was how the nose thing would be handled plus I suspected him to strongest of the reindeer not just form being the leader the sleigh team but for having possible magical powers no other reindeer have and out of the reindeer he's often featured as a hero like in the old Rankin/Bass TV specials. The dude not just saved Christmas but New Years and Forth of July!

my guess was the golden oats infused them with the power naturally and permanently over time, so it loses effect after awhile? ó.0
also, another thing. a theory, could it be the ice sprites are elves from earth who came to this world through a dimensional jump or something? they're obviously inspired by the elves but their behaviour fits similary, also the 'secret ritual' could it be christmas or something similar? just a theory though :3

Love the Eva Gabor accent (although the attitude might be more Zsa Zsa)!

Oooh the festive shippings! I love it!
Still with seven days left, hope you funded enough by then.

So they are a privileged 1% that don't realize that they are treated as pets by a (presumably) superior magical race... man I am cynical bastard aren't I?

Hate to be "that guy" but it's sapient, not sentient. >.>
Or are they the only creatures to walk on two legs altogether? Regardless, it's redundant to say sentient.
👍: 0 ⏩: 3
I used the word sentient to explain that the sprites have emotion and are self aware. By sapient, you thought I meant to explain that they are bipedal, which I did not.
Full Definition of SENTIENT
1
: responsive to or conscious of sense impressions 2 : aware 3 : finely sensitive in perception or feeling 👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Synonyms alive , apprehensive , aware , cognizant , mindful , sensible , conscious , ware , witting
Huh? I meant they had human levels of intelligence.
All animals are sentient. In fact, it's entirely possible that all multicellular living beings are. It's not SELF awareness. Only awareness.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Isnt it, that of all the sentient creatures they're the only ones on two legs? As in, there are other species that walk on two legs, but ice sprites are the only *sentient* ones that do.

Ooo, You got a gold start from the girl with the Milkyway avatar, that has to be super special

I get what you're saying but why would a world without homo-sapiens have the word "sapient"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
For the record, because homo sapiens means "wise human" meaning intelligent. I can assure you that a species of self-aware dogs would be called "canis sapiens" for instance.
sapiens does not in any way or form rely on the existence of humans.

Well if the narration is explaining the world to us, then whoever the narrator is most likely knows about humans.

I've been trying like heck to spread the word, but it's like no one wants to take the time to talk to others about it. Not even Dr Wolf for some reason. Even sent a note to the founder of the biggest MLP group on DA, no luck so far. And as I pointed out, the largest tiers you still have in limited quantity will only net you about 15,000 bucks, so you may need to offer more plushies to get people interested.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
dr wolf covers completely different topics bro! art groups are different too. at least EQD still shares it around, i suggest contacting big blind commentators or let's players who are interested in fighting games., heck maybe even totalbiscuit, he played Skullgirls and liked it. so i suggest let's players, this is not ponies anymore
