As soon as your page is up, expect to be hit with lots of requests for keys from people promising all kinds of things. Don't send them any, they just sell them! If you want to get your keys to legit influencers, join keymailer (should still be free for devs).

My favourite game of all time. My only issue with it these days is I know every region backwards and blindfold!

...and they never come into your shop as they hate cakes. This can help locate them if you're observant, but the Vet also has a hard limit of 66% except for the Naturalist for whom they have an unrequited love for regardless of anything.

If the new check is equal %, the target remains the same. That means if he gets down to you and it's a tie, he will always jinx the first pony. So to get jinxed, you have to definitely be the one he likes the least of all. The Mule has a hard friendship limit anyway, 33%...

When the Mule uses jinx, (s)he checks all the ponies to find out who he has the least friendship with, but he does it in reverse order from townies down to pony 1 (you). A flag targets top pony and then checks the next, if that pony has lower mule friendship it becomes the new target.

I remember well watching this, and had you told me back then the director would go on to direct a blockbuster adaptation of LOTR, I may have struggled to believe you. The guy sharing a bowl of vomit with the aliens stands out in my memory.

When you get the Knave card, the idea is you go into first person mode on the town screen, and you can compare the roster photos to what the horses walking around looks like. If one has an error, there's your spy. It ranges from very obvious to extremely subtle.

Update 0.13.17 is now live on Steam. Many changes again, most significant is Death Letters reworked and certain achievements now winnable again, Spud mode and various bugs fixed. #slaughterhorse2 #indiegame #mlp

Oh well- worth a shot. You've probably already tried switching shadows off and setting it to force sync? That can get a few more frames out

It's so they can look forwards AND backwards at the same time. That's why they got the job.

Unsure. It really just cuts down on video memory used. You could try finding the sh2.exe in the Steam folder, right clicking it and disabling full screen optimisations.

I think it's as good as it's going to get. Regular video memory the game uses is around 720mg, Spud Mode cuts that down to 300mg and honestly, you have to pay attention to see the difference.

Aha, it's broken you see. Good news is I've fixed death letters for the next update now. Testing, but I can confirm Friendly Fire and Trot of the Antarctic will work again after 0.13.17 appears.

Bugs are like toddlers, frustrating but they do make you laugh sometimes. Someone on the Steam forums posted a picture where their visitor had turned into a large floating eyeball.

Catfood McFly @catsmeatstudios.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
Yeah there's something funny going on with the sprites at the moment. There was one bug where when you had a roster update, the pony turned into a recolour of yourself. I fixed that, but it seems to apply sometimes to visitors as well.

My favourite film of all time, any genre. I watch it again at least twice a year.

It seems to be working pretty gud already. I'm exploring all the options to cut it to the minimum. Although SH2 is not very demanding anyway by today's standards, there's quite a lot of players who do use old laptops, so it's a legit inclusion. Not everyone has a big old gaming rig!

Catfood McFly @catsmeatstudios.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Yes, the notes bit is very neglected. I'll brush it up and add the Goss.

Catfood McFly @catsmeatstudios.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Still testing, but at the cost of visual quality it reduces the amount of video memory consumed by well over 50% by sizing down images and disabling mipmapping. Most images in SH2 are very small so the quality hit is fairly minor. Hopefully this will help your beloved spud get back into the game.

I had a user email me to to say they were unable to generate larger towns on their laptop as it was integrated graphics and ran out of video memory. Being a champion of older machines, I'm adding SPUD MODE for the next update. #sh2 #mlp #indiedev

Oh, feel free to leave it out. It was really just a mechanic (a) to allow you a double kill if you got lucky and (b) to get the idea over that behind all the songs and rainbows, the ponies in this world are not what they initially seem to be.

Well, no shit Apple Bloom. Version 0.13.16 of Slaughter Horse 2 is now live on Steam. Good luck! store.steampowered.com/app/2076260/... I'm not even going to attempt to post all the changes here, but they're in game or on the Steam bulletins. #indiedev #slaughterhorse2 #indiegame #mlp

I never knew a fish had evolvdded that looks like a 5 year old girl who has pinched her mum's lipstick and had a go at makeup. Apparently, it has no predators. I'm not surprised.

Know how they say every time someone correctly guessed what the One Piece would be, Eiichiro Oda changed it? I aspire to that level of petty, so as someone found my secret cake, I put in another one. But I have also included audio clues for both secret cakes. Update tomorrow, pic. poss. related.

Aiming to have a new update for SH2 this Friday. One thing I have to redo is the bulletin board with all the changes/fixes - once again the list is so long it doesn't fit!

Exactly. Those old capacitors can hold a charge fot literally weeks after being unplugged. They're like a gun, you treated them as if loaded at all times. I enjoy your MSPaint art Mr. Jim and I'd be very sorry if you fried yourself.

I worked on a campsite and the static caravan owners often threw out tellies that had 'broken'. I discovered 50% of the time it was down to a single glass fuse in the back. Replace that, and they worked. We had a break room with 4 TVs (that we watched 9-11 on simultaneously). Be EXTREMELY careful!

Her parents probably told themselves she was destined to grow up and make jelly. They ignored all the signs. The writing on the wall, or specifically, on their daughters rump.

Its a secret some folks are now trying to find. Involves playing with a non edible, two ingredients that don't usually make anything (but in the right order) and a fresh hunk of pony.
