Well it is the biggest step for a game to go to Alpha.
We're just making sure we have a big and stable game in Alpha rather than a half-made game.

Just a question, not sure if you can answer.

What happens when the game hits alpha? Will there be closed-alpha testing (As in invites sent out to selected people)? Or is it just a personal milestone for the team to reach?

Closed alpha testing. More info on it will come once we get closer, it might be that we invite people for the first time. But I promise nothing.

Even thou the road to Alpha may be a long one, I feel great that the project has even come this far. I would like to thank the whole team for all of their work towards the project.

Wow! That is cool. So, if some one was to test alpha, would all there stuff be saved for the full release? [Just wondering]

I think she asks if you have played the game in alpha,will you keep your stuff(like character,items etc.) when the game is released?

When a company releases an MMO for open alpha/beta testing, sometimes they wipe the database after the testing is over. Some companies hold onto the data so their characters are transfered to the beta testing and/or full release.

For example: In an MMO, if you get a character to level 80 in Beta, you will have that character in the final release.

He was probably asking about that.
Title: Re: The Road to Alpha!
Post by: SweBow on 2012 Jul 18, 14:38:51
Yeah we will wipe everything once the game exits Beta. So everyone starts out on the same termes.
Title: Re: The Road to Alpha!
Post by: BlackVortex on 2012 Jul 18, 15:09:13
Ok, that's what I meant. Thanks for answering, and wiping it out sounds fair to me. [And Larry I am not a he. I am a she.]

Since it's for design. Indeed, they need to finish all the needed lists for Alpha.

It's actually not as big as it seems, fortunately. It's just that it's easier to describe what needs to be done programmatically than what needs to be done artistically, so the list appears longer. I've also gotten a huge chunk of one of the things done already.

We right now need no alpha testers since the game aren't even in Alpha. This is the last comment I will make of it until we're closer to the actually alpha build.

I don't think they just offer someone to be a concept artist or anything, if I'm not wrong. I know Sugarcup became a concept artist, but I'm not sure if she had been offered or she applied  o_O
I'd be interested to see your drawings though. You haven't had a topic or post with any of your drawings (and/or voice acting if I'm not wrong) so you shouldn't be expecting an offer like that.

If we want new people, we make sure you guys know about it. Come to think of it, I haven't heard that we stopped looking for people since we last announced it, actually. So anyone who thinks they have what it takes to be a Programmer, 3D Modeler/Animator, Concept Artist, or 2D Artist, then please click here (http://www.legendsofequestria.com/content/legends-equestria-looking-new-people) and make an application.

Why yes, yes you did. But you didn't provide any of your voice acting there. You can't expect them to hire you on the spot.
But someday, when I get older, I will try to join the team! *looks up in sky with  B) face*

At the risk of sounding slightly jaded - given how often people have made posts offering their services to the team and always get the answer "not looking for people right now", I'm kind of surprised those posts still keep pouring in  :P

I just finished reading about the VA requests, but for 2 reasons I don't think i'll do it unless i'm talked into it.  1)My voice acting sucks, Period.  You can see that based on my karaoke on youtube. 2)even if my VA'ing didn't suck idk what personality my voice(s) would portray.  Good luck anyway.

They purposely don't give us updates because they are going to make a big update on one of the cons.

Unfortunately no, it isn't the same time worldwide. I think they looked into it, but wasn't plausible in the end.

I think Swebow said there will be a livestream however? If not I'm sure it'll be on YouTube not long after.

"nobody lives in cali" > Both myself and one other team member I know of live in california (Lawny.) There may be more that I am not aware of.
"or even heard of sacanime or sac con -.-" > Also untrue, at least for myself.
A little research never hurts anyone. I make it a point to not hide who I am, and thus my public profile location is set to Los Angeles ;).

We are currently working on implementing a way to stream audio to the game, so we can do live shows. This means that there is a pretty huge chance there will be actual DJing.

Like SweBow said, they were cut short and had to organize their time as such. There are a few things they didn't show, of which a majority may be more along the lines of what you're looking for. I'm sure he'll have those shown in his youtube video.
And if he doesn't, I'll be sure to kick his butt for it later, hehe...
Besides that, however, we technically are still in the "make basic stuff work" stage right now. That's the point of pre-alpha: get the tedious mechanics in, so we can have fun adding cool and interesting things during alpha. I anticipate that this stage will be most tedious on the programmers, but the next stage will be just as, if not more, tedious for the creative departments :P.

Well the team won't have to include every location featured in MLP, although I can't say what they'll do, there isn't really a need for them to include content featured in FiM season 3.

As for release, the game will go public when the Beta arrives, possibly in 2013.

Depends on the timing. I do like patches though; patching is fun.
Also, last I heard, season 3 is due to come out this year, and I, unfortunately, don't think we'll be done this year (end of December.) So that means we'll probably either release with them in or patch them in. Depending on how many new areas they show us, we will probably add one or two, and patch in the rest.

I swear, I posted a response to wildfire283. o.O

I figure that they could
a) Put the new locations in and then release it
b) Release it and then include the new locations in a later patch update
Depends on the timing. I do like patches though; patching is fun.
Also, last I heard, season 3 is due to come out this year, and I, unfortunately, don't think we'll be done this year (end of December.) So that means we'll probably either release with them in or patch them in. Depending on how many new areas they show us, we will probably add one or two, and patch in the rest.
I hate guessing games >.<.
how did you respond after the release of the map?


We hardly need to do any changes at all. We were kind of spot on.
O: good job!

I do like that the map for the road to alpha is being updated as items are literally checked off the chart, but it might be nice to make it so that we can still read what is behind those checks. I had to reread several pages of this thread before seeing again that it was the Inventory System that was finished.

The trains haven't been put in yet, but if I remember correctly, the station is already in place, they just use 'portals' for the time being, while they have no trains.

Like Lineage 2? Yes!

They could also do it like in HolyBeast Online: To move from one end of the map to the other you'd take about 2 hours, at least, and every section of the map is connected with portals. I'd explain with more details, but I'm tired. Not feeling like it really. Sweet dreams! :)

Anarchy Online has a similar system, the map is all one interconnected map, but is separated into different areas. So after a while of walking in a certain area, you reach a border that you walk into, then it loads for about 2 seconds and places you on the otherside of that wall, having loaded up the area.

Although I don't think the LoE map is built like that, it appears as though they went straight from Ponyville to Canterlot, although whether or not that's temporary, I don't know...

Good to hear, should make the game a bit more interesting, but also the option to fast travel for more experienced players.

Just my opinion, but making it so you can only fast travel to places you've visited before might be an idea.
Title: Re: The Road to Alpha!
Post by: The Wandering Magus on 2012 Sep 03, 15:31:21
maybe you have to do something to get fast travel?  something simple, like "WELCOME TO THE TRAIN STATION!  Would you like to learn about the <FAST TRAVEL> system? <Yes/No>"
Title: Re: The Road to Alpha!
Post by: Rissian on 2012 Sep 03, 16:55:11
It would be kind of cool to ride inside the train and have an option to sleep through the trip or walk around inside the train with a scrolling background by the windows. Sleep could basically be fast travel and riding on the train could be for people who just like stuff like that, you could make pretty interesting quests if NPC's were on the train.

Sort of like this.

Just to clear this up a little, there will be loading screens between areas. (I believe around the outskirts of towns?)
So, you can take the long route to another town, it just might vary from the way other MMOs do it.

Right now transition points between areas are clearly shown as portals as you can see in various in-game footage.
This might be subject to change and I don't know about the final map layouts either, but I think you'll be able to tell where you'll load into a new area. It will probably not just happen out of nowhere while you're walking across an open area, but certain paths will lead there.

Currently we are in pre-alpha. This is when we get all the basic functionality and systems implemented. After that is Alpha. That is where we focus on detail and smoothing our systems to make it actually feel more like a uniform game. Then Beta is when we are going to open it for download and play. There will still be bugs, but that should be the shortest phase because we will have most of the work done already and we'll have you guys to yell at us when something doesn't work.

I guess that's what the moderation system is for. Plus, when they get a filter on the chat and the character name thing. ovO We won't see any ponies with foul names.

I'm just curious, do you guys have an estimated time of when alpha will be released? If I understand correctly what was released yesterday would be pre-alpha. I'm hoping that alpha will be released sometime next year, but I don't know, that looks like a lot of work.

They do have quite a lot left on the Road to Alpha graph. X3 And I think they're going to release it in Beta, not Alpha. So, that's even more waiting for us.

That's fine with me. I hope that there will be a Road to Beta graph too, though, once they complete everything on the lists for Alpha. That would be awesome.

as far as i know, hosting just need a pc always runing the "host" game wich mean the pc in question dont actually needs to play the game in visual terms, just do the math and stuff for the players to move arround

if its close to a regular game , any pc with the right console can host it with enought connection speed and space... ubuntu is best for that matters

If 100% of the money goes toward the game and nothing else, it wouldn't be considered profit, I think.

We didn't shut down any of the servers. We just changed some scripts that allow you to log in. So if you're on, it wouldn't have affected you, and for some darn reason a lot of my mod commands (including kick) only worked on staff, and not you guys >.<.

We didn't shut down any of the servers. We just changed some scripts that allow you to log in. So if you're on, it wouldn't have affected you, and for some darn reason a lot of my mod commands (including kick) only worked on staff, and not you guys >.<.


No, we made them closed and rebooted them for it to work :P

Yeah, I meant initially we didn't shut any of them down. The point of mentioning the kick bug was that we would eventually have to restart to kick everyone.

I would like to say thank you to everypony who joined and helped us figure out what needs fixing. I really enjoyed seeing you all in-game! You are all what makes this game as awesome as it is!

Eh. I've found/fixed about 80% of the important bugs already. Most of them were just things we overlooked or already knew about, fortunately.

that's what I was wondering, along with falling off the map, spawning under/over the map, getting stuck in the map, being unable to log in, lag problems, etc etc.

Head turn bug = Issue with our headlook script and static/frozen animations not communicating correctly.
Butt-scooting = Movement animations not overriding emotes. Yes this is a bug we're going to fix. Sorry.
Falling off the map = Not a bug. Just people not looking where they're walking.
Spawning under the map = A bug that was fixed during the stress test. It was actually just a typo.
Stuck under the map = Issue with model normals in some cases, or fixed with the previous bug.
Unable to log in/lag = Network being overloaded. Not a bug to fix.
Being stuck in place = Logging off as a flying pegasus and logging in as an earth pony/unicorn - Still working on it.
All of these bugs were things we've known about or things we overlooked, as I said.

Flying as an earth pony, however, is something I've never heard of. Please explain in more detail.

If you recall during the convention when "Canterlot was stuck in the air" Was during the time when i was first teleported i was able to walk through the air for a short amount of time, though as far as i know it was just lag or animation error... after all it only lasted for less then a second.  Either way, still quite the hilarious thing to see.

Its a shame though. The game had opened up for a test and the trolls still got in...I find it sad that some people would do that...There's nothing bad about earth ponies at all. I was going to make one of my oc's a earth pony, but decided pegasus. But i'll make an earth one soon. But  there just jerks, and when the game comes out again, they wont be able to get away. That's what we have mod's for :D They'll get banned so fast that wont have anytime to call them mud ponies!  ^-^

By the way, devs, I just noticed at the end of S1E2, there's a house on a purple hill in Ponyville. You can see it right before Pinkie breaks the 4th wall to talk to the audience before the credits.

I suspect the next checkmark will be on Design  :3

The whole design-section or one of the design-thingies?


There will only be one checkmark on until everyone is done on that section.

Can you make one out of lightning?  :D
I really like the one that is rainbow colored, top right.

Lightning? Let me see what I can do. I made those with my iPhone. X3

And the Rainbow one was my finest creation yesterday!  ;)

Woohoo! Another checkmark! :3




Hey SweB's, It turns out I could make Lightning Checkmarks. In fact I could make several different checkmarks.

I made a video with them, just for your enjoyment!



Here I'll add the pictures too for those who don't feel like watching the video.

Now I want to play MK7....

Not quite sure what caused the glitches I got, when I left SCC a couple of times, I was the default red pony, once it lasted for about 10 seconds, then I suddenly spawned in the middle of Ponyville, the other time I was stuck indefnitely, but when I relogged, I was back in SCC.

That's because you are. I'm not sure why, but in PonyVille the water volume was placed under the entirety of the town. Since the river dips lower than usual, you can see it there, but it's actually everywhere.

I don't know. I can't imagine it being part of the story plot and I know it has nothing to do with animation. Maybe it was just for testing purposes. At least it helped you guys (and by extension, me :l).

I think that was just temporarily placed there since they don't have the proper place for it yet. A lot of stuff in the Stress Test was just temporarily placed because they had nowhere to put it yet, like the dubstep in Sugarcube Corner.

Post by: Tekner on 2012 Oct 11, 01:36:07
You're both right in a way. The original reason I placed it there is because SweBow loved hiding in that well and I wanted to play a joke on him where he'd get sent into the minigame if he tried that. The other reason is I have nowhere better to stick it yet :P.

I don't see discord throwing barrels and Pinkie Jumping over them as very fun either. Discord wouldn't resort to something that simplistic and Pinkie loves the chaos Discord spreads. I'm not sure why she'd need to be in that situation aside from the obvious fact that she is "the jumper" out of the mane six.

What I think would make more sense is if I stole all of SweBow's bacon and am throwing turkey bacon at him. He has to avoid all the nasty fake-bacon and get his preciouses back.

Could you tell me when, more or less, the beta version will be made public? For example, a month or more? Just to avoid coming to look for info every 5 minutes. Cuz I wanna play it soooooo muuuch  D:

Post by: LaptopCommandStation on 2012 Oct 16, 13:19:43
It'll very likely take more than a month, as they are in pre-alpha right now.  They won't give a date for releases until they are sure WHEN they will release it.  Be patient :D

Same with me though, but I came for the game, and stayed for the community.  Now they are stuck with me.

Edited-This is what I get for multitasking

I think you mean until we are sure when we will release it. I can tell you right now that we're pretty darn sure we're going to release it ...eventually.

The reason we can't say is because this is an all-volunteer project. Any progress made is done in our free time, which is highly variable for most of us. We'd prefer to give you guys updates rather than a boring, regular date. Hah... I'm so punny...

A bit of Judas--just a pinch!

Derailing these forums  is such a cinch,
Add a teaspoon of Chishio.

I believe somepony from the team said they were starting to work on Cloudsdale back in the Stress Test. Of course, I may be confusing this with Canterlot.

In Canterlot the ground texture was a concept of the final thing. So maybe I'm thinking of that.

One simple way to get excited about the game release is to simply remember, with each day that passes a-little bit more work gets done to the game, meaning for each and every day that passes the game becomes one step closer to the next checkmark.  :] Though not sure what that will do to your patients.  o.O

Saw that coming. I feel like I should've said something.

Anyway, something I've been wondering for a while now, Swebow, is what other towns will there be? Are they part of the road to Alpha, just not specifically listed?

Alpha is just Canterlot, Ponyville and Cloudsdale. Beta will have the rest of the towns.

"Hundreds" isn't saying much! I'm not saying this game will be as giant as WoW (+ four expansions) but that game is up to 59000, before all the random variants. LoE's will probably at least be in the thousands.

Unless you mean, say... tens of hundreds.

If you desire to see all the people on staff, the easiest way to do so is to simply click member at the top of the page, and when than after proceeding to the member page, simply click the position tag twice.  You'll be rather surprised on just how many staff are actually apart of this project, half of them you'll probably never see though... hidden in the shadow.  ovO

Nope. They're done with the map, which is the layout for where everything is going to go. At least, I'm really sure that's what they mean. Otherwise, they would've just put "Cloudsdale" and not "Cloudsdale map".

so much fine print :P

ANYHOW!  so, there's a new map done, whoo.  But what exactly does walking on clouds entail?  Will the clouds be shaped like marble, or will there be a sort of foggy mist covering everything?  I wonder what the sound of hooves on cloud is like.  Also, you'd think that in a city made for pegasi, there'd be very few actual "roads", since everypony has wings.  Maybe instead of a stree-centered city, it's a building-centered one?  So on hoof it's very inconvenient, but for those with wings it's a breeze flying from place to place, with the doors just a hop, skip and a jump away, doors leading right off the edge of cloud-cliffs and such, the way the "race track" is really just an empty patch of sky with nothing to break falls all the way to the ground miles below.

Of course this might be the case with ANY city; Canterlot, for instance, might be made specifically to be convenient for unicorns, with most things being magic-oriented like door knobs rather than swinging doors and teacups with handles etc.  Inconvenient for Earth ponies and pegasi, but quite normal for unicorns.

It doesn't really make sense to build a cloud city suited for earth ponies, after all, right?

You make so much sense... But our favorite group of ponies was able to walk around Cloudsdale without a problem, and not every Pegasus was flying all the time.

Perhaps the design had tourists in mind? lol

There should be race exclusive activities in those cities (Like the cloud race track), but it shouldn't be hard to move through a city, no matter your race.

As for the hoof step sounds on clouds... It could easily be silent you know? :]

Also, I like the foggy mist idea! :D
Title: Re: The Road to Alpha!
Post by: Bravo 658 on 2012 Nov 09, 13:33:52
Yeah, keep tourist attractions in mind.  For example, the enchanted stadium for the Wonderbolt derby allowing for non-pegasus audiences in the sky.
Title: Re: The Road to Alpha!
Post by: The Wandering Magus on 2012 Nov 09, 14:16:31
Perhaps :]  Maybe certain "easter egg locations" in each city is only accessible EASILY by the races the cities are designed for?  So, to get to, say, a particular "secret" location in Cloudsdale one can either walk for a long time up many flights of stairs and jump across rooftops, or just fly to the location as a pegasus; to get to a "secret" location in Canterlot one can walk or try flying through long halls or just use a door-handle turning spell as a unicorn (lol); to get to a "secret" location in Ponyville one can try using fireballs or wing gusts, or just push the boulder aside with strenght as an Earth Pony, etc?

Little things like that, not "necessary", but fun to do.

Yeah, I've been wondering about how hooves would sound on cloud. Also, for kind of a cloudy mist, instead of having a bunch of particle effect, they could have a little layer of cloud without a collision box so our hooves are actually going through some of the cloud, but we're not falling through Cloudsdale.

Maybe there should be one for a week when you guys hit alpha, just to make sure the servers work with the additional server lag that is likely to happen from the quests, and the new abilities and stuff.

I mean our servers will hopefully be upgraded by beta and dont worry you werent the only one to get lag
in the cities there was lag because the amount of ponies in each city running around and talking

also I know they have been able to run the game on crappy computers, so if you computer is like 2-3 years old you should be fine, I mean mine is like 5-6 and I could play it with minimal problems

Could've sworn people were falling into the void, not the nether. :P The nether has more lava and evil creatures.

There was a lot of complaining about that. Seemed like if one person fell or got trapped, nearly everyone else did the same just to see what would happen. lol

Clouds are just a 2D Texture of a 360 degree sky put on a hemisphere so it's a matter of making that texture (real picture or manually pained)


Night Sky was a bit too dark IMO during stress test.

It should be a bit brigher or put some lights in city's

depends on what kind of "cloud" is being talked about; the "clouds" that ponies can land on and destroy with a kick might be a mite harder than the "just for decoration" clouds.

Have a quote from the FAQ.

When will the game be released?

As a team of volunteers, it is quite difficult for us to establish a permanent release date. We are working hard to finish the game as quickly as we can without letting it decline in quality, however an ETA will not be provided upon request.

Instead of giving you a date, let's put it this way: As the FAQ said, we are an all-volunteer organization. As such, there are almost none of us that don't either have college or a job to attend to. Due to how variable all of our schedules are, it is almost impossible to try to figure out when all of our work will reach those checkpoints we call Alpha or Beta. The most we can say is that we are doing our best and that work gets done every day. It is the variableness of how much work that is that makes setting a date such a trivial thing.
