A pixel style would be adorable! I wonder what kind of other art styles we could try and which one people would like best, like a pixel style, original G1 style, RaMC, the cartoon, and arena artists! Ooh, and what music as well? Maybe some really cute and bubbly music :)

Imagine Cuphead level of animation but resembling the g1 cartoon.

I'm going to repeat a recommendation for RPG Maker, because my understanding is it allows you to make games without needing 'hard coding' knowledge.  :)

I found this playlist of tutorials for it on Youtube:  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMcr1s5MjsiTky6KB4ML-q_QoBE_ZYJk5

This might be the case for Game Maker Studios too?  I am not as familiar with it, but it's what Undertale was made in.

If you can't or aren't interested in making pony sprites, and if you can't find someone to make them for free, then you could probably commission an artist to make them for a reasonable amount.  I imagine once you have a couple basic animations (for walking sprites, running sprites, etc) you could just recolor them to resemble different pony characters.

Yeah, I've been trying to look into one, and I've searched about it, but I am swamped with schoolwork, so it might take a bit. Thank you!

Also, would you guys like to see nirvanas and variants added? The nirvanas could be after the main story since they are so rare. They could be described as ponies from different lands :) And about variants, like white stars Milky Way, alternate poses, and the four baby Embers, what should the game do about those? I'm thinking maybe for non nirvana characters and difference that make the pony different (so not different poses and things like white starts for Milky Way instead of glitter) they could just be another pony. So there would be four different Embers that are all different ponies, not just one pony for example. What do you guys think? Any other ideas?

I think variants would be cool. Maybe do side quests and one of the possible things they unlock is variants.

Yeah, that would be cool. I think a separate area for nirvanas would be best, since they dont quite fit in with non nirvana canon. The same reason can be used for them being after the main story :)
