After many months of virtual silence and no attempts to solicit money from anyone, the team, operating under the name "Future Game Laboratory" has released a playable beta of the visual novel.
The beta download can be found here for Mac, PC, and Linux

PukeyPony, the artist who was originally slated to be involved in the FAKE Dark Skyes project, is listed as the lead artist for this build.
Horse News has thusfar played through the game from start to finish, and it is clear that if the project continues to completion, it could prove to be a very in-depth product. There appears to be 14 different story-lines you can choose to follow, including one that could prove to be a "hot for teacher" scenario.
Feel free to give it a try and see what you think.
The project site has very little information available for the game, except for this:
We're Future Game Laboratory, a visual novel game design team! The majority of us are college students and are new to the visual novel development scene. Our current Project is "It's Always Sunny in Dark Skyes", a visual novel set in universe of ponies that focuses on day to day life along with social and romantic relationships.
As of now the full release date is:Before Half-Life 3, After Starswirl Academy.
Dibs.
Look at that goddamn teacher. Waifu aquired.
ReplyDeleteAnyone have a different mirror? The Mega download is really slow for some reason.
ReplyDeleteLooks like there are now two DL links on their site. Mega is stupid like that sometimes.
DeleteGoing to let some other poor soul play this first. Wouldn't surprise me if the demo is stuff full of malware.
ReplyDeleteNo malware included! I certainly wouldn't support it if it did.
DeleteI played it! There's no malware. I had to instal winRAR to unpack it though. The art and music are very charming.
DeleteThey already have genius, Horse news, some guys in a thread on /mlp/ and some lets player on youtube.
ReplyDeleteMuh Sunny...
ReplyDeletePretty good, hope they continue it.
ReplyDeleteNot bad for a work born out of the Scam Sam incident. I'll keep a close eye on this project.
ReplyDeletefucking worthless and unplayable. I tried to set it to fullscreen and now I can't use it at all, the resolution was changed so that I can't even click the button that puts it back to windowed...
ReplyDeleteeven worse is that AFTER DELETING AND UNINSTALLING IT COMPLETELY FROM MY COMPUTER it saves the settings and is still completely useless
shit game, maybe if the devs acctually fucking used their brain it might be good
I'll pass that along. I'm sure it's fixable!
DeleteI've just played the beta. There are at least 15 storylines you can follow. Early on there's a choice you make that turns into a different storyline.
ReplyDeleteCOOL GAME HAW EVER NO VAN WILL EVER KNOW WAT HAPPENS AFTER THE FINAL SELECTION
