In a world where generative AI is forced upon us at every opportunity, it feels almost radical to make an entirely hand-drawn horse riding game where placing every line and picking every color takes hours of work and years of practice. We think it's really worth it though. Do you? 💖

In Horses of Hoofprint Bay, horses don't have a health bar, but they get specific conditions depending on what you (care, feed, training etc.) Cuts and abrasions can happen during training, or even just in pasture, but they're easy to treat and don't prevent your horse from working that day!

The main bit of criticism people have at the moment is that they want to play more, without the limit of 20 in-game rounds that we currently have! So that's a good sign😄 Also, the reason for this limit is exciting: we want to launch a public Demo in time for Steam Horse Fest in February 🎉

A longer look at horse care in our game! 😍 You use the curry comb to remove dirt, but this roughens up the coat. You then use the brush to smooth down the hair again. The game never forces you to clean your horse, but riding while dirty may cause saddle sores!

Another glimpse behind the scenes of making Horses of Hoofprint Bay: We're currently improving on the horse trader visuals. While parts of the game were polished for the announcement trailer, a lot of features currently still consist of sketches and placeholders! (see alt text for more info!)

Screenshot of the horse breeder menu in Horses of Hoofprint Bay. This is how the feature looks and works in the engine/build already. Buttons on the left say Cover Mare, Buy Horse, Sell Horse and Board Horse. Two Windows are labelled "Select Mare" and "Select Stallion" and show options for each, showing the horses' strength and endurance stats as well as their age (in in-game rounds)

Screenshot of a rough digital sketch, dark brown lines on grey background, of what the horse breeder menu should look like. There are horses in individual stalls on the top left, an info panel on the bottom right, a side view of a horse on the top right, and an empty space with a question mark on the bottom left.

Sketch of what visiting the breeder should look like, from the outside: there is a 2d lineart drawing of a woman in a hoodie, her hair in a ponytail on the bottom left. A stable building stands slightly further back. Pasture fences run into the background behind the woman.

Screenshot of how the scene is coming together in-engine. One horse (in final in-game cartoon visuals) stands in the top right section of the screen, other horses' heads are visible in the top left section. A rough portrait sketch of a woman overlays the image from the bottom left corner. An info panel for the horse of the right is visible at the bottom right of the screen, showing the horse's name (Nelli), age, and stats. There is a "Buy Horse" button underneath a "Price: 2604" label
