A lot of people have been asking us about the project and, more specifically, if we stopped working on the game. The answer to the latter question is no, we have not. However, we’re also barely making any progress – I suppose many of us lack the motivation to work on it as much as we used to, and a variety of RL things have come up for others. Either way, we haven’t stopped, and hopefully we’ll release an update video sometime in December, by then we should have enough content to show.
Also, from now on a few modeler / texturer positions are once again open, since that’s the area where the least progress is being made. Please send a short introduction and examples of your work to ponykart@ponykart.net if you are interested.

I think this calls for a softly spoken “Yay!”, if that is ok with you.

Followed by a Heavyweight/Roid-Rage “YEEAAHHH!”.

Good to hear the project isn’t actually dead.

Aw… Too bad voice acting isn’t needed.

What kind of models do you need work on (if you don’t mind me asking)? And is there a Poly count restraint?

Primarily Whitetail Woods, the map itself, and the poly count limit isn’t exactly anything low, well past a million. Most items needed are modeled already but the progress on the map is terribly slow.

The project isn’t dead? was it in a coma for over 3 months?

There is already a great, high performance kart game in SuperTuxKart; why don’t you just port your SweetAppleAcres map and karts to it

There’s already one army brown ‘n’ bloom FPS game, why can’t they just edit that one instead of making new ones?

This looks like the best mlp game for the moment, even among official games of mlp, please keep on working on this, it looks so good and promising!

Rarity’s kart finished? If it is, you might as well show that.

Seriously?, not motivated enough?, people are SOO much looking forward to this game, i know i am!
I understand the real life stuff but cmon…, there are literaly hundreds, no maybe thousands of fans waiting for the project to finish, and you guys seriously saying “me we’re not motivated enough”bla bla, please dont let this project die guys!
Its too good, i can already tell from the very buggy video’s we saw. Just please finish it already, maybe rush it, and release it 70%, thats enough for us to enjoy it, make sure it Works, it can be buggy, we dont care, as long as its playable, and then wait from the feedback on how much people love it, you guys have come to far just to say “meh not motivated”, Dont get this message wrong, its more like motivational.
I know LOTS of people who are looking forward to this, GOOD LUCK with the game.
Please finish it, rush it, or bring out a demo!
For the love of god!
