General News / Crafting, The Festival of Lights, and More: LoE's Summer(ish) Update is Here!

2018 Aug 12, 10:51:46

Hey there, everypony! It's that time again: time for another belated update to Legends of Equestria! And oh boy, this one's a doozy. In fact, it's the largest update we've ever released. It might have been a while since we released V2018.03.02, but we haven't been spending that time idly!

This update's packed with so much stuff that it barely fit onto a single changelog, but you can find the full list here; if you just want to know about the big changes, though, here's a quick summary!

The first thing you'll notice is to do with how experience is dealt with in-game. In short, we identified an issue with our XP curve, and resolving that issue involved making a pretty big change to existing characters. You can find a full post we made detailing the effects of this change over here!

On a brighter note, this update brings with it our crafting system. Now you can make your own unique armor, and upgrade it with special harmonies to make it even stronger, through artisanry; or, you could cook up a fantastic feast for everypony to enjoy! There's more possibilities than ever before.

To go along with this new system, we of course have two new Talents available for foals to choose: Artisanry, and Cooking. The quest to earn a Talent Mark in either of these can be started by speaking to your racial teacher, assuming you haven't already grown up to the adult stage!

That's not all, though! We've also implemented two more Talents, and these ones have been long-awaited: Combat and Flying are now available to all foal characters. Once again, you'll need to speak to your racial teacher to earn these Talents - and of course, Flying is available only to pegasi, much like how Magic is exclusive to unicorns!

A new exterior location has also been added to the Heartlands. Archaeologists have been excavating the ruins of Ancient Athamanes, a pony civilisation lost to time, and their digsite can be seen in the large (and formerly empty) crater towards the Eastern end of the area. This location will soon be excavated more thoroughly, granting access to a new dungeon area, with its own unique lore, quests, and traps to navigate!

Is all that not enough for you? Well, it's a good thing there's a new seasonal event happening, too! Ponydale is celebrating the Festival of Lights during these long summer(ish) days, and Taffy Treat in Sugarcane Corner wants to do it in style! She's already hung the lanterns and worked on the dance floor, but she wants something extra special to liven things up - and she needs your help to do it! Meanwhile, creatures all over Equestria have suddenly started collecting the mysterious Prismatic Crystal Shards, and everypony's favourite fashion designer, Ensemble, is eager to see you collect them all, to help him create something truly enlightening!

There's a whole host of other new features and changes, including the new auto-loot option, a background blur for dialogue focus, more bank locations, a new sleep emote, and so much more - including, of course, a raft of bug fixes. As mentioned earlier, the changelog has all the details, so check it out if you're interested in reading about everything we've been working on!

If you're using our Windows launcher, Legends of Equestria should update automatically when you next run the program. For everypony else, you'll need to download the newest client, available from our downloads page! Remember to get the right version for your operating system!

We really hope that you enjoy everything we've poured into this update. As always, though, if you have any issues or bugs to report, please do so using the Phabricator system, as explained here, to ensure that the right people on the team know about the issue and can get to work on fixing it.

Thanks for all your support, everypony! There's a lot more still to come, so we'll see you in Equestria!

General News / Legends of Equestria's Crafting System: Explained!

2018 Aug 08, 18:23:28

Hey, everypony! We hope you're as eager to see our next update as we are to let you at it; we're just putting the final touches in, and soon everypony will be able to enjoy what we've cooked up. Speaking of cooking, though, we'd like to take this opportunity to give you a quick taste of how crafting will work!

With this release, there will be two avenues for crafting: Artisanry and Cooking. Both of these paths have their own Talent tree, and Talent Mark quest, available for foals to choose by speaking to their tutors. It's important to note, however, that this isn't all the crafting system will support; we still have a plethora of Talents that we're working on which will also incorporate crafting, such as the Fashion Talent.

Another thing to bear in mind is that crafting will not be exclusive to ponies who choose a Talent that focuses on it; everypony will have access to the crafting system. However, much like with how other Talents' combat abilities work, ponies who specialise in a crafting-focused Talent will be able to learn abilities in this field much easier, and may be more effective when crafting items.

So, how exactly will crafting work? Well, whether you're forging a pair of Alicium Front Legs or baking some Chocolate Chip Cookies, the system has some broad similarities.

The first thing you'll need to do is acquire the knowledge of how to create the thing you want. For that, you'll need a recipe (for Cooking) or manual (for Artisanry)! These might be given to you as a reward for a quest, or dropped by enemies, or even traded for with NPCs and other players. Once you own a recipe or manual, you'll be able to learn it by right-clicking in your inventory.

Then, you'll need to head over to a crafting station. Each crafting branch has its own stations; Cooking requires an oven and a counter, and Artisanry utilises a forge, workbench, and harmony table. These stations allow you to create different articles, which can then be combined into your masterpiece. For example, when manufacturing armor, an Artisan will need to create cloth padding and straps using a workbench, and forge the metal ore they're using into ingots, before being able to combine them into usable armor. Then, using the harmony table, Artisans can create enchanted gems that can be added separately, and can further improve and customise crafted armor. Again, these articles are something you'll have to gather from around Equestria - through quests, from critters, or through trade.

There's lots of different recipes and manuals to learn, and so many different possible combinations! The quality of the item you craft can also be affected by your Talents, and you may find some items come out better than others!

Please ignore his hair, he's very sensitive about it.

We can't wait to see what you come up with, and we really hope you enjoy Legends of Equestria's crafting system when we release it to you soon! Thanks again for your patience, and keep an eye out for the upcoming release!

General News / Incoming Update, XP Changes, And More!

2018 Aug 02, 20:06:29

Hey again, everypony!

It's been a little while since we've had some big news to share, but we haven't been spending that time idly! We've been super duper busy, working on one of the biggest updates to Legends of Equestria that we've ever made!

The good news is that the update is almost ready to go; within days, version 2018.07.01 (the most likely version number, though as with everything, this is subject to change!) will be released for everypony to enjoy. You might notice that that's quite a few iterations along from our last public build, V2018.03.02; that should give you some idea of how much work we've been doing to get all the new stuff added and functional!

This update is going to add a lot of new stuff for you to enjoy, from the crafting system and new Talents, to new quests and a somewhat-delayed seasonal event, to improved targeting and new animations. There's honestly so much coming in this update that we don't have time to go over all of it just now; you'll have to wait to see the changelog for all the details!

There's a few things, however, that we really feel like we should let you know about in advance, so they don't come as an unpleasant surprise to you when the update is released. First things first: if you haven't finished Ponydale's Winter Warm Up yet, time is running out! Ponydale's always a little late warming up winter, but August might be pushing things a bit. When the update is released, the snow 'phase' of Ponydale will be removed, and you'll no longer have the option to finish the quest "Tomorrow, Spring is Here", meaning you won't earn a team vest!

Now, for the couple of new things that are coming out of this update, that we feel you should know about in advance. The most important one of those is to do with experience.

For a while now, Legends of Equestria's experience system has been pretty far away from what was intended. For context, the areas currently available in the Open Access Release, in their intended final state, is expected to be enough to guide the player through the first 20 or so levels of their character's progression, when compared to the full scope of the game. However, this hasn't been reflected in how experience has been given out, leading to much faster levelling than we anticipated. It's taken us a good bit of investigating to work out why that was the case, but we finally nailed it down to an issue with the XP curve as it was implemented, and this is something addressed by V2018.07.01.

What that means for everypony playing right now is two things. Firstly, levelling will take longer under the system as it was intended; and secondly, the fixes being implemented will not only rebalance how experience is accrued, but also the experience that characters already have earned. This means that players currently at level 50, upon the release of the update, will find their characters to be around level 23. You'll still have the same amount of XP; for example, a character who has earned 50,000 experience and is currently level 13 will still have 50,000 total xp after the update, but might be level 7 instead. Importantly, you'll still have the same abilities that you've purchased using Talent Points (as well as all of those that were awarded through your Talent Mark quest for free), and you won't lose any items. This isn't a reset, but a rebalancing!

We know that this might feel like a 'nerf', or that something is being taken away from your characters, but this is essentially us addressing a flaw that has been present for a long time and that we finally were able to work out a fix for. If you feel like you've already seen everything LoE has to offer and don't want to repeat stuff to get back to level 50, we're working on plenty more content that has all been designed around filling out that intended XP curve, so there's still lots to look forward to!

Another brief change to touch on is to do with the options. Under 'gameplay' in LoE's menu, there are two new checkboxes. One is to do with the changes we've made to the jumping animation; the jump can now be executed either when you press the jump key, or when you release it. The second relates to how loot is picked up; loot is now, by default, automatically added to your inventory when your character runs over it, rather than having to manually click to loot. Both of these can be changed at any time in the options menu, as mentioned earlier.

One more minor thing we want to let you know about is some changes that will be coming to existing armor sets. These changes will effect the armor's requirements, to be more in line with both the new XP curve and with what's coming from the crafting update.

Remember, as always, that LoE is still a game in development, with a lot more work to be done on it before it's ready to be called a finished product. That means changes like this are things that should be expected, and that there may well be more in the future, so we can ensure that the game works as intended and is as enjoyable as possible!

Keep an eye out for more news about the cool new additions coming in this update, as well as the update itself, in the next few days! See you soon!

ii.) http://i.imgur.com/D3cilk7.png
iii.) http://i.imgur.com/G17VywQ.png

3D MODELING

3D Modelers build the assets you see in-game, from trees and buildings to armour and hairstyles. Applicants interested in joining the 3D team should have working knowledge of 3D modeling and/or animating and be willing to learn, design critically, and give and take critique. It is preferred, but not required, that applicants have a specialty in organic modeling, 3D animation and rigging, terraforming, or any combination thereof. To apply for the 3D team, email [email protected] with links to examples of your skills. Please include how much time you are able to devote to Legends of Equestria, as well as a list of programs that you're familiar with. Examples of any additional unrelated, high quality designs you have done help too!

AUDIO

The Audio department is responsible for creating and choosing all of the things you hear in Equestria, from attack sound-effects to background music (except the PVFM radio in Sugarcane Corner, of course!). Here's what we're currently looking for in the Audio department:

>SFX Designers:

By joining the Audio team as an SFX Designer, you will expect to be making UI sounds and various animal sounds. Some experience with a DAW is required; general experience with SFX is recommended, but not required. If you apply, be prepared to present a demo of a given sound effect. Applicants can register their interest by emailing [email protected].

DESIGN

The Design team plans out the levels and systems for Legends of Equestria, and covers a few different specialities. If you think you fit into any of the following areas, we want to hear from you!

>Level Designers:

Level Designers should have drawn work (hand or digital) of macro or micro scale level designs which factor in standard gaming conventions such as pathing, points of interest, mob spawns, elevation, framing, terrain features, quest potential, etc. Previous experience in a 3D engine (Unity, Unreal) is highly sought after. Map/level designers should expect to be trained in Unity to allow the implementation and editing of their designs. Please email [email protected] with examples of your work.

>VFX Artists:

VFX Artists will primarily be in charge of creating and implementing spritesheet animations to be used for various player abilities and ambient world effects. This role will require a blending of traditional toon styled art creation and design with technical implementation in Unity (Shuriken knowledge is a HUGE plus!). If you enjoy creating particle based effects to add an extra kick of visual stimulation, this position is for you! Please email [email protected] with links to examples of your work.

>Systems Designers:

Systems Designers should have the ability to form clear, concise, to-the-point written work which quickly and efficiently describes a complex system to programmers, writers, or other relevant team members. Applicants should be able to design the technical formulation behind conventional experience, leveling, crafting, and ability systems. Experience with Google Sheets for tables is a must; experience with graphs and formulas is a huge plus, as is basic knowledge in economics. Please email [email protected] with links to examples of your work.

IMPLEMENTATION

Implementation makes sure that everything made for the project makes it into the game, and works as intended! There are two areas of concern for implementers:

>Script Implementers:

Script Implementers are responsible for transitioning written content into technical scripts readable by the servers, placing NPCs and mobs, and adding items. Applicants for this position should have a basic understanding of scripting or coding logic and an ability to debug errors. Potential implementers should be able to devote several hours each week to the project. If interested, please send applications to [email protected].

>Unity Implementers:

Unity Implementers are responsible for implementing objects, terrain, and functions into the game via the Unity system. Applicants for Unity Implementation should be familiar with both Unity and Sourcetree. C# experience is preferred, but not required. Familiarity with Blender or Maya is also useful, but not required. Potential implementers should be able to devote several hours each week to the project. If interested, please send applications to [email protected].

PROGRAMMING

We're currently looking for enthusiastic programmers to help build LoE. A minimum of basic experience programming in C# and Unity is required for any applications to be considered, and you should also provide samples of your previous work so we can see just how awesome you are. We aren't expecting you to be a professional developer (though we won't say no if you are!); so long as you can demonstrate your knowledge and willingness to learn, we want to hear from you! An obsession with tiny colourful horses is not required, but will be taken into consideration and may improve your chances. Due to the nature of the team, we're looking for reliable people that can be trusted to work semi-independently; if you think you can help us out, email [email protected]!



Please remember that Legends of Equestria is a volunteer project being developed by a team of dedicated fans from around the world. These are not paid positions, and we cannot offer any financial incentive for your contributions to the project. All we can guarantee is the warm, fuzzy feeling from helping to bring an entire world of horses to life.

And lots of socks.

General News / New Game Update (V.2018.03.02), Rules Update, And More!

2018 Apr 03, 22:06:07

Hey again, everypony! Bet you didn't expect to hear from me again so soon, eh?

Since we released the Winter Warm-Up (V.2018.03.01) update, we've been working hard on a few issues that cropped up, as well as continuing to work on some older ones. We actually managed to get them sorted faster than we expected - I know, hard to believe, right? - so we're releasing a new, minor update! If you're using our Windows launcher, the game should update automatically; everyone else will need to grab the latest game files from our downloads page!

Now, because this is a minor update, you shouldn't expect any big content additions or new costumes; most of it is bug fixes. Some of those fixes are pretty big, though, like the friends list! The revamping we did for the Winter Warm-Up release caused some unexpected issues, but this new release should resolve those.

Don't feel too bad if you're blocked here; this is for testing purposes!

We also fixed a few issues with our newer quests, 'Tomorrow, Spring is Here' and 'Are You A Princess Too?', as well as some problems causing issues with the bank and trade systems; we also addressed a couple of exploits that were causing trouble. As always, if you want the full details of what's been done since the last version, you should check out our changelog!

While we're here, though, we should probably clear up something we've had a few questions about: the release version numbering system. Some people thought it was date-based, meaning that the Winter Warm-Up release had been build-ready since March 1st; however, this isn't how the numbering system works. It goes as follows: year.major.minor. That's why the previous build was 2018.03.01, and this is 2018.03.02! What happened to 2018.01.X & 2018.02.X, you may ask? Well, those were team-internal test builds that we ended up not releasing due to either not being ready for public consumption, or having added more since the build that it was more sensible to just make a newer build and include all the previous changes there too!

Finally, we've also gone through our rules system, and updated them to hopefully be clearer, while also providing all the protections that you're hopefully used to by now! There are three separate rule posts - one for our in-game rules, one for our forum rules, and one for our Discord server rules - so we'd recommend you reading through the rules for any of those platforms that you use. If you have any questions or issues regarding the rules, please contact our moderation team via email, or through our Discord server!

Hopefully that all clears things up for you! Remember to grab the latest files from our downloads page; and if you have any issues or suggestions, as always, please submit them using our reporting system, as explained here!

That's all for now; see you in Equestria!

Game Updates / Legends of Equestria In-Game Rules

2018 Apr 03, 13:07:08

***THESE RULES ARE NO LONGER UPDATED. PLEASE REFER TO OUR RULES PAGE INSTEAD!***

Section One - The Golden Rules and Staff Rights

1.) The Golden Rule - Be respectful and considerate to those around you. Remember that on the other side of the screen is another human being reading what you've posted. Keep that in mind and behave.

2.) Episode Spoilers/leaks - Not everyone will have had the chance to view the latest episode at the same time of the same day as you; keep that in mind when discussing the new episodes. This also covers any leaked information. Any discussion of events that happen in the episodes/movies (whether they have been released or revealed in leaks) should not be discussed untill the Monday after the episode has aired, or one week after the movie has released.

3.) Moderators have the final say - While these rules cover the most common situations, there are situations and circumstances where they do not. As such, we reserve the right to take any action that we deem necessary to ensure that the game and forum rules are not disputed or abused in any way. We also reserve the right to ban anyone who willfully violates these rules.

Section Two - General Conduct for the Game

4.) No Rule Lawyering - Attempting to enforce the rules as a user, whilst generally a nice gesture, is prohibited. It's not the user's job to enforce these rules among their fellow users; this is akin to "vigilante justice." If you spot someone breaking a rule, either contact a moderator directly (if you can see one in-game), or report them in the Moderation Corner using the provided template, and let the moderators handle it.

5.) No Spamming - 'Ignorant', 'pointless', and 'annoying messages' basically sums up what spamming is.

6.) No Trolling - Trolling is the act of deliberately annoying someone to the point of making them angry, or starting an unnecessary flame war. Do not do this, at all.

7.) No Advertising - Legends of Equestria is not an advertising platform. If you want to show off your work, and direct people to where they can see more of it (for example, pony artwork), that's perfectly fine, so long as it's suitably safe-for-work; similarly, if people express an interest in commissions, that is fine as well. We are not, however, a place to advertise a commercial product. Moderators will decide on a case-by-case basis whether a specific instance goes against this rule.

8.) No Obscenity - We require everyone to observe and maintain common sensitivity and a sense of decency. This includes:
 
     a.) No racist, bigoted, vulgar, or distasteful language.
     b.) No adult situations in any portion of the game. This includes non-public areas such as party or whisper chats.
     c.) Gore is strongly prohibited. This is a family-friendly site where people of all ages venture.
     d.) In RP discussions, weapons can only be used as props.

9.) No Flaming / Arguing - Intelligent public debate is welcomed, however the moment your post contains insults or personal attacks, you are in violation of this rule and you will be dealt with by our moderation staff. These will not be tolerated. We expect everyone to treat each other in a way which they, themselves, want to be treated, and that is with respect.

10.) Do not harass anyone - Harassment in any form is taken seriously. Do not do it, under any circumstances; attacking, badgering, and repeatedly disturbing members is not only rude, but not allowed. Threatening members results in an instant ban.

11.) Inappropriate names are prohibited - Usernames and pony names must not be offensive, derogatory, or vulgar. If you register an account or create a character with a distasteful name, you will be asked to change it. If you refuse, a staff member will change it for you, or otherwise take action against your account. We are a family-friendly project.

12.) Don't abuse in-game features - We have fun features available in-game, such as various emotes. Do not abuse these features by spamming them.

13.) Avoid sensitive material at all costs - Topics such as sexuality, religion, and politics have a reputation for getting heated pretty quickly. Do not attempt to talk about such things, or ever bring them up. Avoid posting anything like sexual orientation, religious standpoints, or political standpoints in any threads, personal text, and/or signatures. Our game should not be a place for this.
 
     a.) Do not, under any circumstances, bring up "personal issues" publicly. You can talk about said issues in whispers or party chats, but please do not burden the public space with your heavy baggage.

14.) Limited personal information such as Skype usernames, Discord IDs, etc. are allowed to be shared. Please note, however, that Legends of Equestria is not responsible for anything that happens in Discord conversations, over Skype messages, etc. Personal information such as real names, addresses, phone numbers, Facebook links, and pictures of yourself are not allowed to be shared.

15.) Controversial messages - If you believe something is controversial, questionable, or against the rules, do not type it!

16.) No inappropriate outgoing links - Anything that you link to must be child-friendly and safe for work. This includes links to:
 
     a.) Tumblr
     b.) deviantART
     c.) Flickr
     d.) Instagram
     e.) Discord servers
     f.) Etc.

17.) Keep discussions in the correct place - our chat has sections for general discussions with the entire server, local discussions with players in the same zone as you, party discussions with players grouped with you, and whisper discussions for direct conversations with one player. Constantly sending messages intended for a one-on-one discussion in the server-wide general chat may be seen as spam.

18.) No hacking/exploiting of game files - Legends of Equestria is an ongoing project, meaning that bugs will be present that can be used to gain an advantage over players that aren't using it. Once such a bug has been fixed, however, any attempts made to continue exploiting it (editing game files, modifying older versions of the client to connect to the server after an update to continue using an exploit, hacking, etc), or create/use any other kind of exploit that is not present in the latest version of the game without such modification, will be dealt with severely.


If you have any questions about these rules, or believe that a moderation decision has been made in error and wish to appeal, please contact our moderation lead Perry via email ([email protected]), who will be able to address your concerns.

General News / [APRIL FOOL'S!] Introducing The Legends of Equestria Micro Transaction Store!

2018 Mar 31, 21:01:41

(Note: while this was an April Fool's joke, the NPCs, quest, and costume will be permanently available in-game. It'll never cost you a penny, though!)

Hey, everypony! We here at Legends of Equestria have an extra-special announcement to make!

As you all know, Legends of Equestria was built from the beginning to be a completely free experience, available to everypony, and made by a completely unpaid, volunteer development team. This has been the core of what we've aimed to do from the start, and it's what's driven us all this way.

But no longer! We're proud to finally unveil something we've been working on for quite some time: the Legends of Equestria Micro Transaction store!

This store is currently in its trial phase, so not everything is available right now, but special items such as cosmetic upgrades and horse armor are already available through the Micro Transaction store. We implore you to check it out, and help support development!

That's not all, though! There's one addition to LoE that you've all been asking about for the last few years, and it's finally a reality! We're unbelievably happy and proud to be able to announce our very first Micro Transaction upgrade: The Princess Package! Now, for a small fee, you can upgrade your character to become an All-icorn!

This is intended to be a paid upgrade in the final version, but for a limited time, it's available to all LoE Premium(TM) Accounts for free! If you want to take advantage of this amazing opportunity, make sure you have the newest version of LoE available from our downloads page! Then visit the Micro Transaction store, conveniently located in central Cantermore, just off to the East of the fountain, and speak to the salespony to receive a unique upgrade quest!

Please note, the Micro Transaction store is only available to ponies who have gained their Talent Mark and finished the graduation ceremony. For legal reasons, the store can only be made available to adult ponies, as all purchases require an adult's permission.

General News / Winter Warm-Up(date) Is Now Available!

2018 Mar 27, 22:43:16

Hey again, everypony! It's been a little while, hasn't it? You might think that we're running a little late with our seasonal update, but what if I told you that it's thematic, eh? Would you believe that?

Ah, well. It was worth a try!

We've been working super hard over the last few months to bring you something extra special, and it's finally here for everypony to enjoy: the Legends of Equestria Winter Warm-Up event!

Yes, that's the name we're going with.

For the next few weeks, Ponydale needs your help! As per usual, it's struggling to get winter all cleared up in time for spring to begin, and expert organizer Check List has been brought in to try and get the event back on track - but she needs more volunteers to manage it! You can find her barking out orders from Ponydale's Town Hall! You can't miss her - she's the one in the snazzy vest! Everypony who helps to warm up winter for Ponydale chooses one of three teams, and if they're successful not only will they get to see Ponydale restored to its usual lush green, but they'll get a team vest to match!

Which team will you choose? Don't forget, this is a seasonal event, so it won't be around forever; you'll also need to be an adult pony who has Graduated in order to participate!

That's not the only new addition to the game, though; Cantermore is now home to the First National Bank of Equestria! If you've been having trouble cramming all those color-customised pairs of tartan socks into your saddlebags - and trust me, we've all been there - then this update is for you! Visit the bank in Cantermore, located conveniently in the middle of the city near the fountain, to store costumes, armor, and any other stuff that you don't want to get rid of, but don't want to carry around everywhere you go!

Please note that the Cantermore bank is the only one currently operational, and it's not able to store bits just yet, but more is always coming! In the meantime, you can speak to the Bank Guard to learn more about it, as well as how to expand your bank storage!

There's plenty more that's new to Equestria; A big redesign of the trading system, bit trading, a revamping of the friend system, Ensemble has a new seasonal dress for sale - and, of course, a plethora of new socks. If you're using our Windows launcher, the game should update automatically the next time you launch it; for everypony else, the updated files are available from our downloads page! As usual, we have a full changelog that details every change, improvement, and addition that we've made; you can find that over here!

We really hope you enjoy the Winter Warm-Up event, as well as everything else we've brought you so far! Remember, if you run into any bugs, issues, or just a suggestion or two, you should submit them to us using the system explained here!

There's a lot more to come, so stay tuned, and we'll see you in Equestria!

Head over to our downloads page to grab the update!

General News / Legends of Equestria Holiday Update Now Available!

2017 Dec 21, 21:12:55

How am I even supposed to fit down this thing?

Hey, everypony!

It's still the holidays, right? Yeah? Great! That means we've still got time for the Legends of Equestria holiday update!

If you use the LoE Launcher for Windows, the game should update for you automatically. If you were using one of the direct download versions of the game, you'll need to grab the latest files from our downloads page!

We've been working hard on bug fixes and new content for you guys, and this update contains a bunch of both! You can check out our full changelog here, but the biggest things you'll notice are the changes for the holiday season!

The festive spirit is spreading across Equestria, and ponies everywhere are making the best of winter! Snow is falling, all around us - well, in some places, at least - and Ponydale's been blanketed! Some ponies have even taken up ice-skating, and Buttercup in Ponydale, as well as a couple of merchants in the Crystal Kingdom, are selling special boots to help everypony glide through the cold!

And our old friend Ensemble has been working on something new, to help guide the way for all the horses dashing through the snow at this time of year! His special costume quest is seasonal, though, so that means it won't be available forever! You'll have to grab it before the snow melts!

We hope you'll enjoy everything that's been added and fixed with this update! Remember, if you encounter any problems during your time in equestria, make sure you report it using the system explained here, so the right people on the team can work on fixing it!

There's plenty more to enjoy in Equestria, so we hope you'll come and visit us! From the whole team, we wish you a very happy holiday!

General News / Legends of Equestria Hallowe'en Update is Live!

2017 Oct 22, 19:28:42

Hey again, everypony!

We've had a lot of fun sharing Equestria with you over the last couple of months, and seeing you share your experiences with us has been amazing too! We've still been working hard to bring you even more to enjoy, though, and today we've released our Hallowe'en update!

You can find a full changelog here, but there's a couple of key parts that you'll probably notice more than the others:

Firstly, we've increased the maximum number of ponies per account to 6. The original limitation was necessary when we first started out, but improvements mean more ponies for players to pick from!

Secondly, we were hearing a lot of feedback regarding the game's performance when certain parts of the UI were under a lot of strain; for example, having a lot of ponies on your friend's list causing significant drops in framerate. We want to encourage everypony to have more friends, not less, so we've worked to deal with that!

And finally (and probably most importantly), this is our Hallowe'en update, so it's only right that we'd bring some spooky costumes to the party! Word has it that the Equestria-famous costume designer Ensemble has opened up shop in the Crystal Kingdom, and has a few designs on sale - but he might have an extra special bat-related costume available for those willing to help him make it!

Be aware, though, that this quest is seasonal; it won't be around forever, so make sure you get this costume while you can! Ensemble will no longer be offering the quest after Monday, 13th November - at least until next year!

Remember, if you want to experience everything a new update has to offer, you need to make sure that you're keeping your version of LoE up-to-date! If you're using a direct download version of the game, you'll need to re-download the newest version of the game from our downloads page. If you're running on the Windows launcher version, your game should update automatically the next time you launch it!

We hope you enjoy what we've added and fixed with this update, but as always, we're still hard at work to bring you more! Remember, if you have any bugs, glitches, or suggestions to report, you should do so using the system explained here; that'll ensure the right people see your report, and get to work on it!

Speaking of work, we've got a lot more to do; we'll see you in Equestria!

General News / Legends of Equestria Panel at Nightmare Nights Dallas!

2017 Oct 18, 20:47:37

Hey again, everypony!

We're super hard at work to bring you Legends of Equestria's next update, along with all of the bug fixes we can cram in there! We've got some other news to announce before that's ready, though!

Members of the LoE team will be attending Nightmare Nights Dallas, Friday 27th - Sunday 29th October! You might see us strolling around the convention floor (just look for our snazzy bat-Ellowee badges), and we're also hosting a Legends of Equestria panel on Sunday 29th, at 3.30pm in the Addison LH room! We'll be discussing the work that went into achieving our Open Access Release, covering some more details of our development process, and answering some of your questions! For more info on Nightmare Nights Dallas, check out their website!

If you're attending the convention, we'd love to see you there; if not, there may be special activities going on in-game during the panel, so why not play along at home? Everything you need to enjoy LoE's Open Access Release is on our downloads page!

General News / Media Roundup (5th October 2017): Your Best Videos, Screenshots, and Fanart!

2017 Oct 04, 20:36:03

Hey again, everypony!

Hope you're all still enjoying our Open Access Release! We're still busy at work bringing you more of Equestria to explore and enjoy, but you've all been busy yourselves too! Here are a few of our favourite things that you've sent our way about LoE over the past couple of weeks!


Let's start off with a few videos! First off, a first impressions video from Toy Caboodle:

YourAverageJoe provided a tutorial on how to earn your Talent Mark and become an adult pony:

Moon Sango has been livestreaming her adventures in Equestria, and you can catch the first video of it here:

Another playthrough by Sonicsora Gaming caught our eye, and we particularly enjoyed their third episode:

And finally, Lightning Spark captured one of the Ponydale Guards exhibiting a remarkable super-power (definitely not a bug), and edited it appropriately:

Now for some of our favourite in-game screenshots that you've shared with us! This is one of the things we love to see the most from you guys, so we can see what parts of Equestria you're enjoying the most!

Let's finish it out with some fanart! First off, we have NMooly's very atmospheric image, blending a screenshot well with their own work:

SparkleChord drew one of their favourite NPC's, the Ancient Aviator, and recommends you visit him in Cloudopolis and listen to his tale:

And last, but certainly not least, Beck the Wreck did a rather jolly portrait of yours truly!

There's no favouritism at work with these selections, honest...  


That's all for now! Remember, if you've got anything you want the team to see, you can share it with us through our social media accounts, or our Discord server!

We've still got a lot more work to do before LoE is anywhere near done, and we hope you'll all stick around to see what we've got in the works! Remember, you can help us improve the game: many of our teams are looking for more people to help us, and you can report any bugs you find in-game using the system explained here!

See you in Equestria!

General News / Legends of Equestria Updated OAR Build is Now Live!

2017 Sep 22, 07:07:52

Hey again, everypony!

We hope youv'e all been having fun in Equestria together! You might have seen some of us running around, adventuring alongside the rest of you - but that doesn't mean we haven't been hard at work to keep improving Equestria! And to prove that, we've just released our latest build of LoE!

If you're using the Windows launcher, your game should be automatically updated when you next launch it. If you're using one of our direct downloads, however, you'll need to delete that version, and then grab this version from our downloads page! While the original OAR build will still work, we strongly recommend making sure you're always playing the latest version of the game, so you can benefit from our bug fixes and content updates!

There's a lot of smaller changes included in this update, alongside a couple of bigger ones; one of the most noticeable improvements is to how your hotbar and journal work together. You can now properly remove and re-organise the abilities on your hotbar, and add attacks and emotes straight from their respective journal pages, as well as items from your inventory, without issue (hopefully)!

The full changelog from the OAR release build to this latest one is available here!

 

Of course, this doesn't mean we're finished; we've still got an awful lot more stuff planned, and plenty more to fix! Remember, if you have any bugs, glitches, or suggestions to report, you should do so using the system explained here; that'll ensure the right people see your report, and get to work on it!

Now it's back to work for us; see you in Equestria!

General News / Media Roundup: News, Videos, Screenshots, and More!

2017 Sep 18, 19:24:46

Hey there, everypony!

We hope you've all had fun exploring Equestria together over the last week! The response to the start of our Open Access Release has been amazing, and everypony on the team is super humbled by your enthusiasm for the work we've done.

We're nowhere near done yet, though! We've been hard at work fixing as many of the bugs you've reported as we can, and we've already pushed out an uncountable number of hotfixes to the server. We're also currently putting together a new build of the game, which should be available in the next couple of days, to bring you even more fixes, and maybe a few other bits and pieces too; we'll make sure it includes a changelog, so you know just what we're adding for you to enjoy!

And of course, we're still grinding away at our larger content plans, readying all-new material for everypony to enjoy! More quests, more areas, more dungeons, more features - all of them are being developed as we speak, and we'll be bringing them to you as soon as we can!

In the meantime though, we wanted to highlight a few things we've seen from you, and the gaming community as a whole, that have really made the team smile!


First off, a few impressions and gameplay videos have been popping up that have helped to provide us with a good idea of what people are thinking of the game so far. One of our favourites was from TheHiveLeader, who highlighted the game alongside his (completely adorable-sounding) young daughter!

Our German-speaking team members also enjoyed this gameplay video from teddygun:

Twisted Heart has started a Let's Play of LoE's OAR, and you can catch the first video here:

Nyxie made a new intro for LoE that sounds a little familiar...

A beautiful remix of our 'Serenity' track was made by FruityFusion:

And LittleshyFiM seemed to be having a lot of fun with a lot of friends during their livestream a couple of days ago!

LoE's also gotten a bit of coverage from news websites. Our friends at Equestria Daily were kind enough to cover our servers going live and the release of our animated story trailer!

We were also featured on the MMO news websites MMORPG.com and Massively Overpowered, thanks to TheHiveLeader's video!

And French gaming website Gamewave also covered the launch of our OAR!


One of the things we were most eager to see was screenshots of the game from the people enjoying it - and you didn't disappoint! We'd like to share a few of our favourites with you here!

Spot anypony you recognise?


We were also blown away with some fanart we've received; for example, we were super impressed with this fanart of Pyrite from LunaEclipsa!



And this drawing from @MLP_SherbetPosy is just too adorable for words to describe!




That's all for now! We've still got a lot more work to do before LoE is anywhere near done, and we hope you'll all stick around to see what we've got in the works! Remember, you can help us improve the game: many of our teams are looking for more people to help us, and you can report any bugs you find in-game using the system explained here!

See you in Equestria!
