Sometimes, it just has to look epic.

One more fanart for your weekend viewing. A vectored and shiny version of our Adagio boss. The design is originally by Underpable and this vector by Mit-Boy looks fantastic—she’s ready to blow out your eardrums!

One of our own artists wanted to make a little something special. If none of you have met our version of Chrysalis, you should know that she is one toughy to beat! But Lyra’s ready to take her on.
First up for some fanart, an absolutely amazing humanized version of Lyra with her MegaMare X armor. Pretty spot-on for the details. I can’t wait to reveal the final armour and see what might come of it!
To start things off nicely, here’s an internal shot of concept artwork for a stage! This is for the underwater stage we are working on. If any of you have seen Adagio, or played her in the alpha, she’ll be the boss there, and some of this will be her home.
This is concept artwork just prior to working on the actual in-game tilesets that will be based on them. Not everything needs it, as some references already work or went straight from general concepts to tiles. But when we can, we make these ‘platform’ concepts to get a good feel for what it’s going to actually end up looking like.

The Intro stage in progress.
We’re putting time into making sure that we teach the player how to play the game through gameplay (not tutorials). Invisible zones denote different lessons we’re teaching throughout.
Many stages begin this way – with blue blocks and rough enemy placements. After a couple iterations, we add shapes and colours to denote actual artwork zones and layered objects.
Phoe over at Equestria daily has posted a video of her playing through our Bronycon demo we showed last year!
Keep in mind most or all of the assets in this demo stage are old placeholder assets and will be replaced in the final game.
