As I say, the commission slots for this are open! Here's a still, for those who don't know what this is about.

Basically, this is a small minigame I'm making through Unity that can be played standalone...but, ideally, will be added into the Thrallworks game proper in due course as side-content of sorts.
The racing part game will look and play a lot like the Brantsteele Hungergame Simulator found here: https://brantsteele.net/hungergames/disclaimer.php with headshots of the ponies and descriptive text detailing what's happening in the race. There'll also be a 'training' part where you make a selection of options between races to try and pivot the pony into a different skillset for the next race, which might require different strategies depending on terrain, etc.
The downloadable game will have you in charge of just 1 pony of your selection for a season of races, to guide their training and the rest. However, I will also be running a game on my discord server, where several 'Sponsors' can compete against each other, get sketches and other additional content!
Here's how it's going to work development-wise.
- There's 12 ponies (1 already decided on as you'll see in the image)
- 3 of these Pony thralls $5 peeps will be voting on and for to include - this vote will be taking place tomorrow, but if you're a patron of mine at any level, you can leave a message on one of the patreon threads to have your character included in the vote.
- An additional 3 will be decided on by $10 patrons.
- The remaining 5 slots will be Commission Slots at £75 apiece. This includes the costs for a 'sponsorship' of their chosen pony, as well as:
- The pony being included in the game
- Getting all relevant artwork for the pony that comes with being in the game, currently involving idle animations and various expressions (as well as expressions can be made around a bit, hohoho)
- Able to suggest abilities for said pony (though it's up to me to balance them vs. other ponies)
A sponsorship of a specific pony will also be sold seperately on gumroad (after the ponies have been decided on), costing £15 apiece, and a sponsorship will get you:
- The chance to choose the 'alt colours' for the Pony to be included in the game.
- The ability to pick the pony's training regimin every week in the Discord game and resolve the events that happen to them.
- To pick one of the available 'stable' names to which this racepony belongs (think of it like the Wipeout teams) which will affect available equipment and the league-points tables (may want to discuss this with other sponsors if you want to work together).
- A say in how the pony's 'project file' is constructed- what image is drawn for it, how the Instructor handled them, if they were difficult, etc.
- Access to the 'sponsors' channel on discord (if you're not a $10 patron already) where I'll be discussing and testing alphas of the game before I try making a full-on discord channel for running the tournament.
If you want to co-sponsor a pony with another person that can be arranged, just contact me about it.

Enjoy!
