Look, microhorsie microfriends now run together for fun! Naku approaches Hora and hints she'd like to trot together, Hora is up for that, so they do a little running - how cute is that? I programmed this after i saw actual horses play in a similar way ♡
Not only is it adorable, but it's healthy, too: running with friends replenishes a microhorse's urge to move around, slightly raises bond with the other horse, and - if the horsie who decided to run was slower than their friend - raises their speed a little bit, that's what the blue icon signifies.
Note that the first time they run Naku visibly falls behind, but the second time they're almost even! Actually, in the final game this training effect will be much slighter, i cranked it up for the show.
If the horses are on bad terms or the other horse is feeling moody, they may reject the proposal to run, though, so take note of who gets together with whom and place the horsies accordingly so that they help each other grow and have fun together <3
hey hi hello microhorse person I absolutely love this. Please know that people on the discord server and subreddit around The Mane Quest (see here) would absolutely love to see your microhorse game dev shenanigans as well in case you're up for posting any clips there!
