I went on a big map-making spree last night, wanted to share We have: Boreal Boomerang, Evil Nasty Forest, Forest of Illusion, Extra Terrestrial, Foragers, and Horse Mystery Dungeon
In different themes, the "House" object will actually be things like trees! Only the dark forest and snow themes have trees in the current version, the rest have cartoony houses :>
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.

255
255
211
For his colors, it is the most appropriate.
OH MY GOD I LOVE JORBO <3
Fantastic HAHAHA
Taking a break from making sonic sprites, i made a little nautilus horse!

RGB values i suggest:
255
135
125
This is incredible! would it be possible to create custom tilesets as well?
really fun to mess around with! my only request would be for a way to change the victory images for custom horses
I wish the maps could be bigger and there were more gimmicks to add to stages
you made the horses look like frogs
this has become my new zone out and relax game where i create silly little guys and watch them run around and try to make it to their goal.
can someone tell me what this map is?
android version pls :)
"JOVIAL MERRYMENT, DEAD OR ALIVE, IS MINE"
I made a Metal sonic Horse!
i raccomend these RGB values:
103
80
255
Some Sonic the Hedghehog sprites!
I absolutely love this silly thing! Here's some of the horses and levels I've made. Hope yall like my goobers!
The physics are super inconsistent, wish there was an option to change them to be identical to that of the original videos. Love it otherwise.
Abdolutly epic, heres my dumbass son
I've made a bunch of levels and I'd thought I'd share.. There may be 1 horse aswell. Here's a link if you're interested.
give us editable winscreens and sfx and my life is yours. 11/10 already in the state its in though this may be peak
this is really well made! however the bottom gets cut off on my [quite large] monitor- do you think you could add window resizing or set sizes?
this is the greatest thing ever made
I went on a big map-making spree last night, wanted to share
We have: Boreal Boomerang, Evil Nasty Forest, Forest of Illusion, Extra Terrestrial, Foragers, and Horse Mystery Dungeon
Take a look at them here!
these maps are awesome! my favourite ones have to be Boreal Boomerang and Forest of Illusion!
Woah these are cool! How did you place the trees? I've been trying to figure that out but i couldn't >_> lol
In different themes, the "House" object will actually be things like trees! Only the dark forest and snow themes have trees in the current version, the rest have cartoony houses :>
P E A K
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?

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
Thank you very much! I'm planning on using these for private use, but I'd be more than happy to credit you for any public races!!
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)
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.

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!!!!

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 ^^
nvm, now i get it.
When I saved it without BG, it would break.
So I saved it with BG, and it works.
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.

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