Fluttershy Replies

Oh, um, hello... My name is Fluttershy. I'm a pegasus pony who lives near Ponyville. I love to take care of animals and spend time with my best friends. Also, I'm dating Rainbow Dash. Sorry, you probably knew all that already. I didn't mean to be patronizing! I started this blog to try and be a little more social, so, if it's not too much to ask, I would really appreciate being asked questions! ((Mod: Bobby Schroeder)) ((Theme: King))

today’s the 10th anniversary of mlp:fim. i cannot even begin to imagine how different my life would be if i never got into this show and started making fanart in high school. it was the first time i had the confidence to post my drawings online, and my skills grew so much while drawing silly fanart. i made so many lifelong friends. i got to fly halfway across the country to be on a horribly disorganized con panel. i finally took the first steps towards my career as a game designer by making a fangame. it was also absolutely the first step towards me figuring out i was trans. and of course, through pony tumblr i met anthony, and we’ve now been dating for over six years

so naturally, for such a special occasion, i had to go back to my roots with some flutterdash

((Hello. Been a long time, hasn’t it? I bet a lot of y’all forgot you were still following this blog.))

((With the end of Friendship is Magic in sight, I’ve been feeling nostalgic. While I’ve shifted my focus over the years to original work as opposed to fan content, and while the MLP ask blog community I was once a part of doesn’t really exist anymore, this blog and the yellow horse still mean a lot to me. And while I haven’t done a proper update in years, I never truly called it quits.))

((I plan on doing several more updates and bringing Fluttershy Replies to some sort of conclusion. I’ll undoubtedly continue drawing MLP fanart for years to come, whenever I’m in the right mood. But this blog in particular deserves a proper farewell before I move on. How much I’ll do, or what the ending will even entail, I’m still thinking about. But Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash deserve their happy ending.))

((I’ll see you all again soon.))

((I somehow neglected to mention that the greatly expanded, non-copyright infringing remake of Super Lesbian Horse RPG now has a demo available as of this past Valentine’s Day. So while I’m here, here’s a post linking to that))

it’s been approximately one million years since i drew flutterdash (or really much mlp fanart at all), but after finally getting caught up with the show again, i knew… i knew it was time to return to my roots

it’s still canon

how dead is this blog????????????????????????

((I’d like to post at least a couple more things here before I officially call it quits and send the blog off with some sense of closure, rather than just abandoning it. But I’m in no rush, as this blog hasn’t been my top priority for quite a while. I started this thing like five and a half years ago now, and there’s only so long an ask blog about someone else’s character can stay interesting. Even if Fluttershy will always be dear to me

((Oh, and while I’m here, since I haven’t mentioned this to Fluttershy’s followers yet: if you enjoyed 2013’s premiere FlutterDash roleplaying game, Super Lesbian Horse RPG, you should know it’s getting a remake! An extensive remake with new, non-MLP characters. Kind of like what happened with Fighting is Magic/Them’s Fightin’ Herds, because Hasbro doesn’t like fangames, and because there was a lot of room to expand and improve upon the original game. I kind of announced that over a year ago now on my main. You can check out the first trailer here, if you’re interested))

I have seen playthroughs for your game, because I am not able to play it due to not have a pc. I'm going to be doing a college course in 2D games, and would like to have some advice on what things I should avoid whilst making a game. Thanks!

((Well, the class will probably teach you more than I could. I’m still learning a lot myself. But in general, it’s a good idea to start with a simple idea and then build on that until you think you have something fun. Don’t go in trying to make something really complex as one of your first projects. Also, playtest constantly, and have other people playtest your games without interference from you. Sit back and watch how they interact with your game without constant instructions. Just because something works when you’re playing your own game doesn’t mean someone else won’t be able to break it in two seconds when left to their own devices. And don’t forget to keep a to do list and a bug list, I guess? I dunno, game design is a broad topic. Good luck, though!))

((Oh yeah, and hi, fluttershyreplies followers. I know I haven’t updated in almost a year. It’s just been a busy year. I’ve been working on other things, and my boyfriend moved in with me. I’ll draw more flutterdash soon, I promise))

Seeing your well-crafted game, I'd like to make one of my own. I've had the program I suspect you used for some time now, but my biggest problem is trying to find/create sprites and pictures. What tools did you use to make the sprites/art in a format that allowed you to use it in your game?

((I used Photoshop, like I do for pretty much all of my art, but any art program that can save PNG files with transparent backgrounds will work just fine.))

This year’s Fluttershy Replies Halloween update is a cautionary tale about voice actor joke’s

It’s been a long time, so I finally updated my icon! I think this one looks very nice. I also added a header for the blog preview and for the mobile version of my blog with art from the 10,000 followers update.
