Cherry Sorter

Cherry Sorter

When I wake up every morning I look out my window and say, "Alas, the farming simulator is truly dead". Then, I scurry away with catlike tread (in order to avoid waking my brother), trip over a couple dinky cars and crash to the floor with a yell, waking up the entire family every morning. For centuries I have longed that at least one of these steps might be made unnecessary to lighten my daily commute, and it seems that finally my prayers have been answered. For out of the depths of the night comes Cherry Sorter, riding a white horse and playing a trumpet with a $2 price tag, to save me from the first step of my horrendous plight. With it's exclusive Android cherry-picking ways and utterly astonishing depiction of life on a cherry ranch I have been freed from my plight, and now spend the entire morning playing this wonderful masterpiece of wondrousness .

So now, I beg leave of you to play this game some more, as should you. If you own a newfangled Android phone, this game should work right out of the box, but it took me a couple hours to get it working on my trusty (and completely indestructible) Nokia phone. So long, and farewell!

My Little Pony:Budding Friendships

This rather nice Harvest Moon-style game has finally updated, and it looks quite impressive. To be honest, it's probably the ONLY pony farming simulator under development right now, and that's one genre of game you don't see too often. So far, it seems to have really nice music, although I'd recommend that those fellows get some more practice at drawing graphics in an isometric perspective. If you're even remotely interested in this project, go on and check out the video above!

Budding Friendship Hiatus + Source Code Release

Budding Friendships (Website)

(Source Code)

 While listening to Budding Friendships' soundtrack it suddenly occurred to me that we hadn't heard from the developers since October, so I decided to look at their website. Turns out that their dev team kicked the bucket a couple days ago, but their programmer was nice enough to actually release the source code on GitHub before they made the announcement. If anypony wants to contribute to the program they most certainly can, although I somehow doubt that it will get much further.

 Anyhow, if you really want to you can compile and play the game for yourself over at the GitHub project page. As of now the project is Windows-only and in an incomplete state (obviously), but somepony might be able to port the game to OS X or Linux if they wanted. Come to think of it that would be an excellent way of attracting more contributors...
