Thank god, because Iโ€™d rather have Grand Boarding Stable than Grand Theft Autoshit ^-^ I loved the demo for #HorsesofHoofprintBay so-so much, and I canโ€™t wait for the full release <3 P.S. From what Iโ€™ve seen, Hoofprint Bay is already looking SO much more scenic than Vice City!
That's it, we're releasing our cozy hand-drawn horse game the same month as GTA 6 because fuck you

Hello I am Alice and I'll be at gamescom next week to chat about horses and games. I'm looking to meet press & content creators to introduce our game Horses of Hoofprint Bay & to tell devs with any plans of adding horses to their game why you might need my consultation services๐Ÿ˜‡

I played this thing for 300h and the horses were honestly the least of my reasons for it

look I still don't love that asset pack but I WILL absolutely give a shoutout to the fact that FINALLY a game is treating horses as characters and giving them unique characteristics as part of the story and I gotta appreciate that

a lot of horse games either force the player to groom/brush their horses outright, or make it a completely optional bonus thing. In Horses of Hoofprint Bay, not brushing your horse before you ride it can lead to saddle sores, and not picking its hooves can lead to abscesses.

In a world where generative AI is forced upon us at every opportunity, it feels pretty radical to make an entirely hand-drawn horse riding game where placing every line and picking every color takes hours of work and years of practice. We think it's worth it. Do you? ๐Ÿ’–
