Hello everyone! Things are moving a bit slower as we have had to pick up some additional work to help fund this game, but we will do what it takes. We have reached beyond our cap on what we can afford for artwork- and we are still in need of your help. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out our goal store and you can see our individual goals here to track exactly where the resources are going…
Where the Goal Store resources have gone so far
With the little amount we have raised, we have already been able to achieve quite a bit and we can’t wait to share so showing this stuff prematurely. We have a foal and working on cute foal animations, We have a donkey, We have a barn! Below is a movie of the raw foal model growing in to an adult Draft horse (hairy feet coming soon!), it’s quite cool. Please note that all stuff we are showing you today is “in development” and still being worked on– and we need your help to continue!
Foals will have their own special mane and tail
Donkeys will get a donkey tail (in development)
Cool things afloat, blending models and unique manes and tails.
Initial four horse barn

Code isn’t too glamorous to show, and nor is our game client right now with the UI very very rough… but we will share more as soon as we have stuff suitable for showing.

I’m glad you’re still working on this even though the Kickstarter didn’t reach it’s goal, and it’s exciting to see the updates, but I think there are some flaws in these models that make them look a little awkward. The foal’s hooves look way too big for the body, and the donkey’s back is too short and maybe not straight enough (it looks like you’ve used a horse body base with a donkey head, but donkey conformation is quite different to horses.) I hope you don’t mind the constructive criticism, keep up the good work 🙂

Hey thanks. Yep you are welcome to give criticism! The foal for draft has room by his feet that will be replaced with hairy feet (still working on all that and will be showing you more final stuff soon).

I am very very excited for the release of VHR3D! This barn looks great, but I was curious– will you be able to walk into the barn, or will it just be a big decor object that controls how many horses you have?
This leads to the question: will your whole farm be visible/intractable while you are riding your horse in the world? It’d be nice to be able to walk through your horse barn (possibly being able to view the horse in which ever stall you have it assigned to) and then be able to walk out to your pasture and see the horses you have assigned in the pasture grazing.
My ideas maybe too extravagant at this time, but it is something I have dreamed about in a horse game (seriously.. I had a dream about a horse game that was so interactive/realistic).
Either way, I am very excited for this game’s release.. whenever it maybe. 😉

Hey there- thank you! Wait till you see a video/cut scene we are working on (interior of barn there) other than that, the interior is not really “complete”, but perhaps we have this done.

Oh- also, the horses you have assigned to the pasture will not be displayed on in game but rather list form elsewhere. There are some technical concerns there for having lots and lots of horses and this helps avoid that. That way, you can have 100 horses with out crashing your tablet or even a PC, for example 😉

Thank you for the reply! The pasture situation makes sense, and I’m eagerly awaiting the video of the barn you mentioned!
Merry Christmas!
