Does anyone know or can give me a tutorial on how to solve the error problem when making a horse? I've been searching and trying to solve it for a long time, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong :(
I had a ton of fun playing with this! I decided to make wolves instead of horses (since wolves are my favourite animal), screenshot of a race i did attached (the blue wolf was my set's jovial merriment, and grey was my set's cyan, basically LOL). The quadruped run cycle i drew (sorry, typo, not coded) for them still worked SUPER well even though the animations are likely built for bipeds so that was neat to see!
On that note, is there any plans to be able to customize the victory images and the winning item (i.e switching the carrot for something else), or are those hard-baked into the game and unable to be customized like the horses and levels can?
Here's the sprite for the basic wolf i made, feel free to make edits to it for your own wolf. If you post races using these publicly please credit me for the base even if there's edits made, thank you <3
please add a “stop race” feature that stops/cancels the race and puts you back in the editor (also please make level auto-saving after you cancel a race or a horse beats the level)
This is awesome! Had to throw my idiot son into the game and I'll probably make some more over time. I wish I could assign custom images for the victory screen, cause it would be so funny. Fire game nonetheless :)
I think it would be nice to have a "rigging" system. For example, giving Jovial Merryment a 75% chance to win and Cyan a 15% chance. It could be nice for making stages races (which idk what they could be used for but it would just be cool) but I'm not quite sure how easy that would be for you to make.
I figured it out. It was because I was using a friend's horse that they said didnt need a BG to work, so I didnt load in a BG. Loading in a blank BG made the horse work ^^
I was getting the same error. The pngs need to be in the same folder as the .horse file. Not sure if they also need to have the same name as the .horse but I named them the same just to be safe and then it worked.
I really liked the fan-game based on HRT, but I wanna add a little thing that I think it would make the game more interesting, bc I was kinda disappointed about the fact that a maximum of 7 horses can race on the maps, bc I wanna make all the 9 horses to compete, or for example, make a race with 18 horses, so it should be an option (like a bar) about a minimum and maximun of horses who can compete, ofc, surpassing the 7 horses limit.
Still, great game, srry if any spelling mistakes were made, I'm not a native english speaker lol
I love the art style so much! All the expressions are so fun, the environments are very neat and have pretty palettes, and the horses themselves look so charming. Silliest little horses... <3
I would like to contribute my horse Frog Locomotive as a guest :>
I dunno nothing about the whole horse race thing - what I do know is this:
I like seeing my lil' eldritch blob sona wander around and fall over like a dummy. I ain't sorted out the RGB thingie, and it should just need a blank BG png.
This little tool is amazing and i've been using it to make fun little race with horses that look like my friend, but one thing we very much agreed on is how the sound design in the races themselves is very loud/aggressive, sometimes being way stronger then the music! I wonder if an audio slider for music and sfx is in the plans, otherwise this rules asf
Basically, you can place start flags while a race is going on (and like any other time without having carrot-starts selected) with the 1-7 keys, and they are also SOLID in races. Tbh this feels like an intended bug for some reason
Here is my contribution, best horse girl Taiki Shuttle. Download completed file here if you want, or just take this png and put a blank BG image in the files. RGB is 229,162,110.
This is looking great! With all things that I end up liking, I want to share the few improvements I have. I know this game literally just came out so treat this as a giant list of criteria to tackle at whatever pace you want; I don't want to come off as demanding and/or pressure you into burnout.
HORSES For the current horses, the only thing that I don't like is that Bullet'n Board has somehow lost his frog toes and he said he wants them back. Also Jovial transgressed back into a short dude when he used to be the tall boi and he don't appreciate it. Of course, adding the nightmare horses would be cool (unless someone gets around to making them before you do). Also, if possible, can there be a way to only show the horse's true name once they've won a race? Or at least make it toggleable from the start. This would of course need a way for the custom horse creator to add both names. Lastly, how did you make the horse designs? I used Pixilart but I was wondering if you had any better suggestions? The only one I've made so far is called Dark Brigade (like the opposite of Light Brigade) and it's the template horse with an eye missing and RGB value 50-30-50
MAPS For inbuilt maps, please get rid of the second-to-bottom tree in Hidden Forest I BEG. In all my testing it takes 50 years for a horse to get in that bottom section, and then most cases they leave soon after. Since map making doesn't require artistic talent, I've started going back and making all the "canon" maps of HRT, and one thing to include if possible is different map sizes? The ones I've made so far work fine but somehow they feel a bit squashed? Also PLEASE make it so that whatever map you have running saves after a race has ended. The amount of times I've forgotten to save and the map just completely reset without me saving it is embarrassing. As for new maze themes, the vibrant red-orange-dark green scheme looks cool and a more "otherworldly" look for the Horror Horses. Maybe also classic space, water and desert themes.
OTHER Firstly, a list of stuff I'd like to be able to customise/add on own stuff: Race Prize, Music, Ending Images, Ending Message, Decorations (maybe have decorations be shared between themes?). A bouncing title like in the canon would be cool! An option to randomly select horses to appear in a race, or at least randomly assign starting positions. A key and gate pair, where one of the horses needs to collect the key in order for the gate to open; this will be open to all horses. Different variants could be a humble garden gate and key, a DANGER sign and hammer, a vault door passcode, and a door.... and a door knob. LASTLY LASTLY, a way to bet on horses. I've made this vague on purpose since I don't have a specific ideal solution, but a way to keep track of your "winnings" would be engaging, especially with friends! Tying on to this, two records of horse victories; one for winning in that specific map and one total winnings (that resets when the game closes).
Sorry for all that, but again this is looking great so far and I await updates with great anticipation!
EDIT: Also what about an in-built way to record rounds? Also a way to speed up/slow down a round while it's happening.
A bit confused on how to set the color of the horse on the victory screen for the characters without changing the whole character's color on the sliders section. Got a character made but just want to figure out that last part.
For clarification sake I want it a light brown color but at the moment without messing with the BG sliders (and the character's race sprite color) it appears to be white by default.
EDIT: I think I figured out just putting everything in the base image including the color, and leaving the BG.png blank works for my purposes.
I think that for now the colors of the horse in the end screen are only tied to the rgb value of the racing sprites. So for now i don't think it's possible to change the colors of the horse on the win screen separately.
my custom horse Ghastly Bygone (click the text to download him) ((edit because the previous version of him crashed the game and I had to update the link))
Very slick! Runs nicely under Wine on Linux. Only thing that gave me pause was trying to work out how to exit while full-screened (had to alt-enter and click the X) but that might just be due to my smooth brain. Neat work.

genuine peak, just wish there were more ways to customize it (custom music, win screens, sfx, etc.)
Does anyone know or can give me a tutorial on how to solve the error problem when making a horse? I've been searching and trying to solve it for a long time, but I don't know what I'm doing wrong :(
Really loving this but any plans for better control at removing plants or ctrl+z'ing stuff?
I had a ton of fun playing with this! I decided to make wolves instead of horses (since wolves are my favourite animal), screenshot of a race i did attached (the blue wolf was my set's jovial merriment, and grey was my set's cyan, basically LOL).

Your wolves are so cute! Awww!
I'd love to use them if you put some of the sprite sheets in the comments here!
Here's the sprite for the basic wolf i made, feel free to make edits to it for your own wolf. If you post races using these publicly please credit me for the base even if there's edits made, thank you <3

I will! tomorrow, when I get some free time, that's something planned already!
Otherwise you can press R, but it does reset the level! that one needs another tooltip
I quite enjoy this, and I have a level to share! My first level.
This is awesome! Had to throw my idiot son into the game and I'll probably make some more over time.
I wish I could assign custom images for the victory screen, cause it would be so funny. Fire game nonetheless :)
First of all, absolute peak. It's such a delightful little tool and it's a blast to mess around with!
Second of all ITS GOT RAIN WORLD LIZARDS THE WAWA IS REALL!!!!

It could be nice for making stages races (which idk what they could be used for but it would just be cool) but I'm not quite sure how easy that would be for you to make.
why do I get broken by saving my customized horse?
hmmm are the images in the custom horses folder? and did you save the horse with the .horse extension? (can be erased accidentally)
im getting the same error even though the images are in the right folder and im saving with .horse :')
maybe you’re saving the .horse file into a different folder?
ive triple checked and its going in the customhorse folder :')
I figured it out. It was because I was using a friend's horse that they said didnt need a BG to work, so I didnt load in a BG. Loading in a blank BG made the horse work ^^
I was getting the same error. The pngs need to be in the same folder as the .horse file. Not sure if they also need to have the same name as the .horse but I named them the same just to be safe and then it worked.

the Mario brothers
Did you know you can put more than one of the same horse?
And yes that is Dr House

I love the art style so much! All the expressions are so fun, the environments are very neat and have pretty palettes, and the horses themselves look so charming. Silliest little horses... <3

Color values are :
R 149, G 244, B 227

I like seeing my lil' eldritch blob sona wander around and fall over like a dummy. I ain't sorted out the RGB thingie, and it should just need a blank BG png.
really really love this, but i was wondering if you could include the regular horses as templates for custom horses? would just be cool :)
hey, is there a reason i could not start a race? the button just doesn't do anything
Hmm, do you have horses selected?
Maybe it bugged out, try saving the level, reloading (With R or reloading the game) and pressing the button!
only started working after i rebooted my pc, so probably something on my side, thanks anyway!
ohh I get it

I saw someone reposted my Sonic sprite incorrectly, so i just wanted to put here the pngs directly.
For the rgb values i suggest:
R:0
G:30
B:151

how do you change flag start positions?wish there was a keybind list somewhere
with keys 1 to 7!!!
I had embarrasingly forgotten the top tip that should tell the player that. I just updated the game, and now it tells you!
cool thx
happy to be a part of this! the ui is great and clean and i love your style for the horses
And thank you for helping! Hope some people try out the shark horse!!!
