when i was like 11 i noticed that the sso name selector had the name option "persephone". perse in finnish means ass, so 11yo me thought "wow i must report this profanity to star stable" and sent them an email in english about how one of the names meant "ass phone".
my account was connected to my mom's email, so she saw the email. she complimeneted me on my english skills.
I know only a fraction of players reads the game blog (maybe a few more on here) but did you see that part about the passion week and someone working on a personalized pasture?! Yes, there's no time frame but different passion projects have already been implemented in the game so I think it's safe to have hope for personalized pastures happening some time.
(Plus it could also be a way for SSO to make some money to keep running if they give us options to buy extra stuff for the pasture.)
"Something something horse something, later versions are better as along we go, yes design will be open source at some point, this version allows jumps :DD yay, pedals are somewhat templates for stirrup-like components"
Horse game controller is back from the hiatus. New version of the controller will use IR sensors, making controller to easier to adjust and more reliable. Firmware will be written using CircuitPython, so it will be easy to modify for different games. As soon as the first working prototype is completed, the project files will be made publicly available under an MIT license.
idk bro the pic is finally done sighs with relief but also sorrow. i may do their horses next :3
some facts about them below the cut (minor content warnings for mental health issues, substance abuse, that sort of a thing)
it's a long text below but if anyone's interested at all about the au itself i am more than willing to answer any questions (there is an ask box for anonymous' too)!! i love yapping
lisa
ptsd sufferer, never really got over her mother's death but does not like talking about it. handles death as a topic with a stiff anger and doesn't know how to reassure folks
student in star academy, on a gap year due to burnout/personal issues (this is when she meets starshine in my au!)
plays the guitar/sings well, BUT is also passionate about dance
loves punk rock :3
is in an on-off relationship with josh, but due to poor communication and his depressive tendencies they fall off quite a lot :// it's a really bittersweet relationship
her healing powers tend to peak during winter and specific dates (it is theorized that these dates signify major battles of the past/harsh winters from the time of the previous soul riders)
doesn't rly want to be a soul rider in the first place
linda
got moved after begging for years back to jorvik from the university where her parents work as professors. she is a student in history in jorvik city's university
but she's able to study from a distance a lot
loves hee studies and is an avid history enthusiast, but overworks herself and is often stressed to the point of nausea
distanced herself from parents because she didn't want to be a disappointment
has vivid dreams (some of which have to do with her visions; some of her dreams tend to have visions mixed in)
thrives in taking the leading role and being a soul rider
anne
the evil bisexual (i'm jk but she is more morally dubious than the rest)
raised rich, lived rich, never made any friends beside the few that rode along her fame and wealth. as a kid she was forced into beauty pageants and as an adult she became a dressage rider/model
has the hardest time bonding with animals (even concorde) due to her being raised to view them as something you can benefit from
has a really hard time maintaining relationships and not scheming all the time. she was taught everyone's sketchy and wants something so that's how she also views the world. she is also constantly afraid that her facade will wear off and that people will start viewing her as someone regular and vulnerable
very bad relationship with her mother, but they treat one another with a cool passiveness
alex
has a major crush on anne that she cloaks into anger and a snarky comment
from a poor family in a poor area, is the oldest of six siblings and was forced to seek a job early to take care of them (her mother was incapable for reasons)
loves her family but left them at some point after james had also left (feels guilty about it all the time) james is also the only one in her family that she stays in contact with regularly.
lives with herman, he lets her stay in the attic
clothes always messy from oil and grime from her work (she works as a mechanic at the stables)
doesn't rly know how to ride a horse
nicole
former competitive rider, came to jorvik for a vacation after her accident (speed driving after a dramatic loss in her first olympics)
was forced to quit riding after losing her leg, though she may go on easy trail rides or do light groundwork
herman hired her as a riding instructor at jorvik stables, which is how she came to know lisa + the rest, as well as the dark riders (though she knows nothing about that business lol)
religion plays a big role in her life unfortunately
lives in a house by the sea, and has two horses with her, her competitive gelding kerry and her old connemara fiodha
sorry i kinda ruined her with my shading :/ i never know when to quit
anyway! here's a lisa i made as a warm up<3 her being a burnt-out college kid is so dear to me. she's back to jorvik stables on a mental health break when she meets the other soul riders. in my universe/au they're older than in the og games mostly because i grew up with them and now i'm all grown up so so must they be
fun fact: She likes dying starshine's mane different (horse-friendly) colors. this is an idea by my sister that i liked lol
