Looks like the scrollbar for horn/wing size does not work for the "wings". For horn it seems to work.

YAY!!!! Will the saved characters be saved for the release but they start as fillies or colts, or do we have to make more characters in the game release

The character creator and the game are completely separate. Characters you make on there are saved on your computer, not our servers. I'll probably end up adding an import PonyCode button in the game, so you can copy a character over, though.

Wow, randomization button appeared! And the pony can be finally saved!
Now there is only a content problem. There is only a couple of manes/tails/eyes yet available.
Still, great job everypony! Thank you for such a wonderful app!

Question: Right now, tall ponies (and especially unicorns) do not fit in the preview window. ono Will this be fixed at some point? Also, will some kind of reference point be implemented so we can better see exactly how tall our ponies will be compared to the game environment? :D

I am working on a feature that will hide the editing interface, zoom in on your pony, and show some "preview" options such as changing the backdrop and possibly a screenshot button.

I was just wondering, will any of the mane and tail styles from GeneralZoi's pony creator be added into LoE's pony creator? o.O

The servers were never fully open during the cons, and I didn't get a chance :/
-sigh- It might be a long while... Sorry I don't post often, I've got a busy life. I'm getting into programming, hell, maybe I'll take a job here if I ever have the time. but, I just don't have time :c It's amazing here, and I wish I could stay, but...

The one thing that annoys me is choosing the cutie mark. There's just so many you have to scroll through before finding the one you like. Maybe it could be a whole (dropdown) list showing the images of the cutie marks, and we can choose the one we like from there? Would make it so much easier.

A link to my tumblr above!
Tiger's OC page. Should re-do it...

I saved the ponies as fillies so you wouldn't need to change them to fillies, because if you pasted the pony code in the release, the pony would need to be pasted as a filly/colt. BTW, when I reopen my browser I need to start over. Is this because of google's incognito windows?

Night Pony

I doubt they will keep the code and saved ponies until completion.

I want to thank all of the artist that have drawn my OCs.

It does not save on servers. You need to "Export" and save the code on your end. Then when you come back later you "Import" and paste the code you saved.

No, but it does save to your computer. You have to actually hit the "save" button, however... I have the Back button let you know when you haven't saved any changes, but restarting your browser or refreshing the page won't let you know. Google Chrome's Incognito Mode still loads and saves data the same way.

That's a very low priority change. Remember that Cutie Marks won't be selectable like that once that system is completed. It probably won't even be a dropdown after you do your quests and choose your cutie mark category. Thus, that change would solely be for the web character creator. Every other update is added to both the web-build and the game itself. Sorry. I know it's annoying.

Also, I have a sort of off topic question. Will there be a way to get a weather themed cutie mark? To make a proper Rainstorm I'd need a rain drop cutie mark. What sort of thing would make that a choice?

You can use the cutie mark named Waterdrop 1, or even the one named Waterdrop 2.

Rephrase, in the game. Because they said there'd be a small selection depending on how and when you got it.

cutie marks will be given to you if you perform certain quest / questlines I think
but to answer your question - "yes"

You will need to refresh the page.
