Remember all those times when I said this community surprised the hell out of me? Well, double that. This is the best possible thing. The team over at PonyKart.net is going all out on this one. Everything from the graphics to the soundtrack look great so far. Apparently this track isn't even finished yet.
They will be opening up more slots for their group on Monday, so stay tuned if you want to help out!
Also Twilight Sparkle.
I'll stop blabbering and let you watch the video!

VastaKustutaHOLY SHIT WHAT
VastaKustutaHAY YEAH!
VastaKustutaWay to use the Makkon song- OH GOD THIS THING IS 1000% OF PURE, CONCENTRATED WIN.
VastaKustutawow that's cool!
VastaKustutaMy mind, she was not ready.
VastaKustutaSoon™? I think they mean Copyright CCP :p
VastaKustuta@Bombedrumbum Makkon made the music for this >.>
VastaKustuta@swivel
VastaKustutaShoo.
AWWWWWWWWWW YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA COMING SO-- WAIT!
VastaKustuta"Soon™ ©Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. & Valve Software"
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
It's a shame I'm no good at racing games. Still might try it though.
VastaKustutaScrew Carmageddon, I need this!
VastaKustutaOOOHHH MMMYYYY GGGGOOOODDDD
VastaKustutaPONYKART!!!!
So it's like TuxCart, but good, AND with ponies? I'll need to download this...
VastaKustuta@Joe okay.jpeg
VastaKustutaDo want, do want, do want *keeps jabbering incessantly*
VastaKustutaWhy is there always a fruit cart!?
VastaKustutaAnd yay, more awesome pony games!
Neeed For Speed is now dead to me. This is gonna be where it's at!
VastaKustutaOh my God...
VastaKustutaFirst off, the physics are perfect on Twilight knocking over the apple carts. Second, it's a spot on job with the popular cart racing concept. With your beat 'em ups, your RPGs and point 'n' click adventure games, here's another variety we can look forward to.
I love how they really captured the look and feeling of the show in 3D. Considering the show is made in flash, that is not an easy thing to do.
VastaKustutaDamnit bronies your going to give me a heart attack with all your awesomeness!
@Yellow 13 It's in the contract. It's mandatory to use a fruit cart in as many situations as possible.
VastaKustutaHopefully they can work on a Running Of The Leaves and Sisterhooves Social tracks later on.
VastaKustutaI'm speechless
VastaKustutaAww, there are so many files and I'm feeling so lazy right now. I'll have to compile it later. If anyone compiles it themselves, please tell me.
VastaKustutaThe second I saw the Ogre logo I Squee'd.
VastaKustutaWow. Just. Wow. HASBRO LOOK AT YOUR FANS!
VastaKustutaHasbro has no clue how to make deals with a fanbase that could make their franchise insanely rich within in a few months.
From brilliantly written fanfics (and some could even be legit episodes), great music, detailed and deep art and comics, and even games that could even rival other big names in the video game industry, it really is sad that Hasbro has no clue how to use the potential to help make MLP bigger than it already is.
This amuses and fascinates me! The Lord Pimpington demands more! Much more! And ice cream. And maybe a pina colada.
VastaKustutaTwilight needs to learn how to drive a kart on dirt roads. Poor Twi. I bet they have a book for that.
WOW now that's progress! I am thrilled to see they are still hard at work on that! and to see how well that came out makes me hopeful to what the future of this game will bring!
VastaKustutaMan to Fighting is Magic AND Pony Kart? All we need now is get one of these released some time this year :P
Just wow.
VastaKustutaThis community.
There are no words to say what and how we pull these things off.
Also: YESYESYESYESYESYES
@KingOfSmash That's true, but the whole point of fan labor is that it's fan labor. It's not meant to be sold or make money, but simply to show love for the show and its fandom.
VastaKustutaI knew something like this would happen!
VastaKustutaBucking amazing....
VastaKustutaWant it, Need it!!!!
It reminds me of Crash Bandicoot Team Racing. :D
VastaKustutaI can't say this isn't full win! But I duno why they don't just run the track? Just a thought. Anyway this look freaking amazing.
VastaKustutaPony Kart is just as awesome as mario kart ^_^
VastaKustuta@swivel DUH.
VastaKustutaWow. So sweet... Why can't be out now!
VastaKustutaWow, it looks great. I am thoroughly impressed at how great this looks. It's really shaping up to be quite the spectacular game. I cannot wait to play the hell out of this!
VastaKustutaWow. It's almost hard to believe that this is a real thing that's happening. I'm really excited about this, it looks real professional. Watching this now, too.
VastaKustutaMario kart like ponies...
VastaKustutaTo post the molestia "I came!" picture or not, that is the question.
LOL @ Custom license plate...
VastaKustutaIM really impressed by this, people hard at work doing things and just blowing the mind of commonfolk like me who just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their hard work
VastaKustutaLooks gorgeous already... Super impressive job!
VastaKustutadinofag told me to call you all autistic shitstains
VastaKustutaJaw dropped... again.
VastaKustutaI can't describe how much I'm impressed right now.
I remember the humble beginnings of this game:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVtKl7P-tfM
And that's why companies don't show off games in early/concept stages ;)
The progress you made is beyond anything I expected. Spot on environment graphics and a really great looking Twilight. The kart's drifting looks a little off right now, as if it regains full grip a bit too early. But without having played it myself I'm not really sure.
Really looking forward to playing this ... "soon".
*inhales*
VastaKustutaAh want it NOOOOOOOOW!
Ha. Blizzard Soon.
VastaKustutaWhat the hell, is this even possible ?
VastaKustutaThis is perfection..!
@ombutescentdin From their FAQ:
VastaKustutaFirstly you wouldn't be able to have anything like drifting. Secondly, how would you even balance that? How could you make sure a character who can fly faster than the speed of sound has an equal chance of winning as a character who's scared of her own shadow? You couldn't. The karts serve as a sort of "equalizer" to make sure the characters are all "fair". No wings and no magic.
Ha. Blizzard Soon.
VastaKustutaMaaaaan where do you find project like these in the beginning? I'd like to contribute a little bit of 3d modeling to an awesome project like that too! :/
VastaKustutaSo much win, so impressed with this. Can't wait to play it!
VastaKustutaI'd help if they needed someone who could program in C. But games seldom use C... :(
VastaKustutahnnng SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
VastaKustutaNot bad!
VastaKustutaWhy is this only the first I've heard of this game!?
VastaKustutaNo words. Just tears of joy.
VastaKustutaI cannot wait to play this.
VastaKustuta@KingOfSmash
VastaKustutaI hear that, brother.
Why is this only the first I've heard of this game!?
VastaKustutai cant wait for this. All my bits!
VastaKustutaSooo.
VastaKustutaApples = Shells? Speed Boost?
Cake = Banana Peels? Speed Boost?
Chocolate Rain Cloud = Banana Peel? Purple Shell?
Storm Cloud = Purple Shell?
Presents = Power up box's?
Discord Statue = The whole track going upside down, backwards, a Chocolate rain storm and shrinking you?
Any suggestions?
Omigosh i can't wait! This look so good, and that's the best Twilight model I've seen yet.
VastaKustutaKarts is a kind of weird choice, considering they're ponies. I always imagined a Pony racing game more in the style of Alicia, but I'm not going to complain, this looks great
For those who don't know what Alicia is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkR2jl_LI3w
Looks very nice already, can't wait to play it!
VastaKustutaWANT.
VastaKustutaMY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES OF MARIO KART ARE SUDDENLY TURNING INTO PONIES.
THIS IS A PERFECT DAY.
*falls off the map*
VastaKustuta*rescued by Angel*
@Dax Rattler Muffins = upside-down power-up box?
VastaKustuta@Pyritie Okay
its lookin good! :D
VastaKustutaHoly, holy crap.
VastaKustutaAwesome job! Looking forward to it!
©Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. & Valve Software
VastaKustutaWait, what?
@vcrmaster But What if we can play as Derpy? Then I would be morally obligated to hit every damn one:P
VastaKustutaNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
VastaKustutaWhy isn't anyone in big video game business making this awesome game ? :(
VastaKustutaWow, LOL. I still think that they should be pulling their own carts, but this is SO epic looking ^_^
VastaKustutamegusta.jpg
VastaKustutaYESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!!! but i can just imagine like twilight being the worst possible driver hahaha loool
VastaKustutaAutor on selle kommentaari eemaldanud.
VastaKustutaMost impressive.
VastaKustutaI gotta say, as an aspiring game developer, pony fan games get me more excited than anything else in the community. Now theres 3 incredible pony games in development that im salavating over! And each one is of a different genre!
VastaKustuta(Fighting is Magic, Equestria Online, Pony Kart) All of which Id happily pay money for.
Do want. DO WANT.
VastaKustutaI....I.... would play this so much more than my Mario Kart games. And I love Mario Kart.
VastaKustutaAlso "Tardy", on that Twi...
Looks good. If I wasn't so busy I'd be all over helping out, that said with only 2 programmers putting this together is impressive, they'll do juuuust fine.
VastaKustutaThis game seems to coming together extremely well.
VastaKustutaNice sense of speed, accurate collision detection, spot on character model, but what impressed me the most was the environment. I really felt like I was riding around Sweet Apple Acres.
The only question now which do I want more, Fighting is Magic or Pony Cart. This video made that a tough call.
HOOOOLY SHIT
VastaKustutaThis is going to be the epicest thing. So getting with Fighting is Magic.
VastaKustutaThe funny thing? If there's ever an official FiM game for a home console, the odds are that it won't be anywhere near as good as the stuff some fans are putting out there.
VastaKustutaAlso: Dat Twilight. *.*
Take my money!!! all of it!!!
VastaKustutaPoni Poni Poni Poni Poni.
VastaKustutaIt's... it's beautiful...
VastaKustutaMy Celestia. Is there any thing we can't do?
VastaKustutaWhy do I have this nagging feeling that Hasbro is going to start whining about games like this eventually and demand that they be shut down, even though they're not made for profit? I really hope it never comes to that, because this is awesome.
VastaKustutaMy mind. My poor poor mind was just not ready.
VastaKustuta*"So much win" and other tired expressions of positive feelings*
VastaKustutaso it's basicly like EquestriaKart? but a different group of people?
VastaKustutaGuys, I'm afraid you're a little off-base. Soon(tm) is a trademark of CCP games, the makers of Eve Online. ;3
VastaKustutaNow THIS is an awesome looking fan-game.
VastaKustutaMy good sir you just gave me a heart attack... now take all my money an give me another
VastaKustutahttp://imgur.com/a/Df8yq
VastaKustutaHave some high res screenshots
It's SO surprising to know that this is a fan-game :D It paints a picture of how dedicated we bronies can be when making a huge fan-made piece of work ^^
VastaKustutaALL OF MY MONEY
VastaKustutaLoad of trolls seem to be trolling the vid tho.
VastaKustutathis looks fun, i say no more as i wish not to hype anything.
VastaKustutaI have managed to locate the source code. Apparently it's uploaded in SVN format. Now, time to compile it...
VastaKustuta@XTUX345
VastaKustutaOh, and here's the SVN, in case you were wondering: http://ponykart.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ponykart/
Wow, How am I just learning of this? It looks amazing. So many great pony related games in the future.
VastaKustutaTake it
VastaKustutaALL THE GOLD!
"Soon™ ©Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. & Valve Software"
VastaKustutaSo...2 years from now then?
AH WANT IT NOW!
VastaKustutaWow. Looking forward to it. I love racing games. As I've said before, this community never ceases to amaze me.
VastaKustuta@Eduds
VastaKustutaIf you want to try it NOW, then compile the source code! You can find it at http://ponykart.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ponykart/
Dat Physics Engine!
VastaKustutaNo really, the physics are AMAZING. I want!
And coming "Soon" by the Valve and Blizzard definition of "Soon". Ha. Well I'm sure it will be out before HL: Episode 3.
This + Multiplayer = 2012 best game :D
VastaKustuta@XTUX345 but I don't know how to compile anything.
VastaKustutaSo many amazing games in development. I can't wait for them to be released.
VastaKustutaI wants it now, why can't it be out now...
VastaKustutaThis and "Fighting is Magic" are must-haves.
VastaKustutaHasbro needs to realise that they basically have a huge , free workforce at their feet... Seriously, game developers would charge a fortune to create games as awesome as the ones this comunity is churning out day after day, and I'm sure all of us would be happy to see some of these games posted on the official MLP page! At least thats what I think... :)
VastaKustutaI can only imagine how good Cloudsdale, Downtown Canterlot, Everfree Forest, the palace, Ponyville, the desert, etc. all could look with those graphics. Magnificent.
VastaKustuta@Bob from Bottles
VastaKustutaMe too :)
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
VastaKustutaTHIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME! I noticed "Copyright Blizzard Entertainment and Valve Software." Aside from ponies, this is going to be epic.
VastaKustutaI must woohoo with a generous volume, befitting this amazing work in progress. WOOHOO!
VastaKustutahas anyone compiled/run it from SVN? Because I've got some trouble with it... Any idea how can it be compiled? I've never used ogre, so i don't exactly know what is necessary to run it
VastaKustutaGotta love this fandom
VastaKustutaWait Wait Wait, did I just read Blizzard and Valve entertainment?
VastaKustutaif thats true then THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST GAME IN THE HISTORY OF BEST GAMES
Hahahaha... Coming Soon TM Blizzard. XD
VastaKustutaSeriously, though... The $50 I just spent on MarioKart? If that and PonyKart had been side by side on the shelf, I would have bought PonyKart, hooves down.
HEY, I WAS THERE YESTERDAY TESTING AN ALLANTE!
VastaKustutaSHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
VastaKustutaNO REALLY, the possibilities for this are ridiculous!!
TAKE MY ENTIRE WALLLET. This is the first time I've even heard of this, where the hell have I been?
VastaKustutaThis is EPIC. I WANT TO PLAY THIS :D!
VastaKustutaI demand Discord as a playable character.
VastaKustutaAnd maybe sneak in Optimus Prime and Megatron as playables from Transformers.
Guys... how... what...
VastaKustutaI don't know what to say. This makes, what, 3-4 full pony-themed games in-dev right now?! And I think they're all gonna be f2p?!?
I could be wrong on that last bit, but... seriously!?!
You ponies are insane. I cannot get enough of this community!
I won't say "take my money," cause, well, it's already in-dev, so why beg them to make it...
Besides, I'm dirt-poor atm. ;)
@KingOfSmash
VastaKustutaI think the proverbial "blinders" are beginning to come off their eyes...
However, they have had quite a few shout-outs to the brony community in the past, both in various episodes and promotional stuff, and in events outside the show.
Still, they haven't fully realized what a gold-mine this is... for which I am thankful.
After all, if they start using the show to get more money off the fanbase, chances are the quality will suffer and mediocrity will ensue. That's the last thing we want. I like it the way it is right now.
If they give us a popular character every now and then in an episode *cough*Trixie*cough*, or a little reference that only older audiences would get, then that's all I need!
@Pyritie As an actual autistic person, I have to say you made me laugh. I don't know why autism is the new standard of troll's insult, but man is it funny! You really think saying someone is on the autism spectrum is insulting! You people need to research what you say before you post it everywhere.
VastaKustutanext track is going to be winter wrap up themed...called it!!!!
VastaKustutaI seem to have dropped my lower jaw... if anypony finds it, I'd be grateful...
VastaKustuta@Saburo
VastaKustutaThis. I fully support this idea.
And maybe throw Snake Eyes in there too (if you're going to include crossovers from other Hasbro/Hub properties, then you might as well just go all the way with it.)
I REALLY like her mane! And the dust from the wheels. And it goes without saying that everything else is absolutely amazing.
VastaKustutaI had no words to express how awesome this is. Then I read the license plate. Then I had no words.
VastaKustutaYou can do that. You can be speechless twice.
Built the source =o it's really cool
VastaKustutao my celestia thi is so bucking awesome
VastaKustutaWhat I noticed: Makkon done gone and made the racing theme even more epic!
VastaKustutaOkay. Once Fighting Is Magic and PonyKart are completed, I can just imagine every brony meetup and convention requiring these two games to be played. Constantly.
VastaKustutaBecause this looks SO BUCKING AWESOME!
