Fluttershy’s Hearthswarming Adventure

Fluttershy’s Hearthswarming Adventure is a text adventure game created for the Christmas of 2015. This is a fan game.

This is my second Windows parser-based interactive fiction. This means that there are no graphics to speak of – that takes place in your imagination. Instead, surroundings and events are described and you interact with the world by typing commands. But do not worry: It is not as difficult as old school games are. There is a suggestion system that will help find the commands you need and the game is set up in a way that you cannot truly lose.

The story itself is about the journey of Fluttershy to the depths of the Everfree in search of a magical artifact known as the Emotion Orb. She encounters animals, other ponies, obstacles and puzzles along the way. And in the end, it will be up to her to decide whether, and how, to change the Hearth’s Warming Eve festival for everypony, and for all time.

Remember that you are supposed to use a combination of the suggestion system and command typing. Usually, typing three letters of a word should be enough to eliminate most unwanted possibilities and then you use arrow keys and Enter to choose.

It is programmed in C# using the XNA framework.

I created the game at the age of 23, in 2015.

Princess Civilization

Princess Civilization is a 4X strategy game set in the My Little Pony universe. As Princess Twilight, the player controls several towns and gains more during play. The player progresses through a very long campaign separated in chapters building buildings, cultivating tiles, hosting festivals and exploring the surroundings. Also, friendship problems are built in that the player must resolve. Quests help move the player in the right direction. This is a fangame.

I made this game in C# using XNA 4.0 framework. I got the idea the night after watching the final episode of the third season of the show, Magical Mystery Cure, and wanted to do it as a tribute and because the final episode was so inspiring.

The game was created at the age of 20, in 2013.

God, who is hated 2

God, who is hated 2 is a simple original game. I created it in 2012 just after I finished my high school studies as a copy of the very first game I created.

This is the same game as God, who is hated, except that it has better graphics, resolution, responsiveness and user experience. In short, I took the game as I had made it 2006 and improved upon it by applying skills I learned since.

Also, I made this game in 48 hours, compared to the month it took me in 2006. Then again, my time using computer was limited back then on account of my age.

This game was created at the age of 19, in 2012.

Download (Setup EXE, 3 MB):

Features:

  • 6 levels in a story-driven campaign
  • 5 different godly powers
  • Funny accompanying flavor text
  • Better graphics
  • Better user experience
  • More resolutions
  • Same audio

You can’t let that happen! Smite the towers before they destroy you and beware you sidekick – he could be working for the humans!

Advanced Minesweeper

Advanced Minesweeper is a simple game I hacked up in one day to test how many people would actually download and play a game I put up only on major servers that allow for free download of software. The answer was: not many, but still some.

Advanced Minesweeper contains the functionality and gameplay of traditional minesweeper but also allows the player to play advanced minesweeper, which is like the regular one, except the player has access to three special abilites that recharge over time:

  • Radar, which reveals the entire map for a time by scanning from left to right
  • Sensor, which reveals a 3×3 square for a time
  • EMP, which flags a tile if it was a mine or reveals it if it was not

The game was created in pure C# at the age of 18, in 2011.

Download (Direct EXE, 0.01 MB):

Features:

  • 7 levels in a story-driven campaign (that’s a first for a minesweeper game, right?)
  • 3 special abilities
  • Ability to play traditional minesweeper

Story:

Your president’s boss: „For some mysterious reason, if you clear all levels, you will save the world. Go save the world!“

Everwinter

Everwinter, the Pony City-Building Strategy is a Caesar-like city-building strategy game created for the Christmas Typhoon 4-day programming contest. This is a fangame.

Everwinter is a Windows-only pony city-building strategy. As you progress through the campaign, in each level, you build different structures on a 2D map – houses (e.g. Earth Pony Residence, Pegasus Cloudhouse) and production and utility buildings (e.g. Sawmill, Theatre). Your goals vary but usually you need to build up a sufficiently large self-sufficient city occupied by a certain number of earth, unicorn and pegasus ponies as each production building can only be worked by a certain race. You also need to upgrade their housings and not meeting the ponies‘ requirements will cause them to emigrate (and leave a spot on your colonization report to Princess).

There is a simple overarching storyline that deals with the colonization of a new continent of never-ending winter. There are also free modes where you can build up a city without objective restrictions. A tutorial is built in.

The game is made in C#, using the XNA framework.

I created the game at the age of 20, in 2012.

Download (Setup EXE, 8 MB):

Features:

  • 7 levels in a story-driven campaign
  • Over 10 different buildings, many of which can be upgraded
  • Manage the economy and happiness of your citizens

Story:

A new continent of never-ending winter is discovered near Equestria. As a princess, your task is to direct the colonization of this new land. Maybe the magical springs of harmony that are dotted across the continent could help.

But the climate is harsh. Take care that your ponies don’t emigrate because of cold!

Star Swirl’s Pony Adventure

Star Swirl’s Parser-Based Pony Adventure is a text adventure game created for the My Little Game Jam 48-hour game programming contest. This is a fan game. The game placed 10th out of 38.

This is Windows parser-based interactive fiction. This means that there are no graphics to speak of – that takes place in your imagination. Instead, surroundings and events are described and you interact with the world by typing commands. But do not worry: It is not as difficult as old school games are. There is a suggestion system that will help find the commands you need and the game is set up in a way that you cannot truly lose.

The story itself is about the journey of Star Swirl to the depths. He encountes obstacles (locked doors, mostly), other ponies (Clover the Clever and Twilight and her friends). Most rooms usually have some sort of puzzle you must overcome, for example, figure out a combination to open the door and find a proper item or spell. In the end, you will choose one of four different fates of Equestria.

Is is programmed in C# using the XNA framework.

I created the game at the age of 19, in 2012.

Primaeval Threat

screenGamebook
Page 60 of the pony version of the game.

Primaeval Threat is an online gamebook I created for the My Little Game Dev marathon. The player assumes the role of a World Custodian, a protector of people from ancient and evil threats. The player picks three out of six special abilities uses them in a choose-your-adventure style game.

Because of its original as a game entered into the My Little Game Dev marathon, the game was first created as a My Little Pony fangame and only then did I port it to remove all pony references from it. The original variant of the game is a fangame.

The game was created at the age of 20, in 2013.

Play online:

Features:

  • Over a hundred individual pages
  • Replayability: Choose different paths or custodian abilities.
  • Illustrations (in the pony version, at least)

Story:

You are the warrioress Sunspear, one of the last of the World Custodians, an elite order of selfless monks devoted to the protection of the world from all threats. And what a tiring task that is!

Unbeknownst to many, the wolrd of Lonaelon is constantly under attack from evil forces. Last decade only, there was the Black Demon, the Army That Never Sleeps and, most horribly, the Zzzxyasquesdetl. Yet people at large are unaware of this because the World Custodians are always working, in secret, to save the innocent from their doom.

But the ranks of the Custodians are drawing thin as men are unwilling to sacrifice their normal lives for the tiresome, dangerous and unrewarding path of the Custodian. Your order is dying, but it is now that you would need most help. Because an evil greater than any you’ve battled before is about to return.

Blooper:

  • On page 73 of the normal version, I missed a reference to ponies that is still not removed. Can you find it?

Time Travel Research Facility 2

Time Travel Research Facility 2 was the second game I programmed in Flash. It’s a reboot of my previous game, Time Travel Research Facility. Like that game, it is a platformer involving time travel. The story is much more involved this time around and provides rich backstory to the history of the Time Travel Research Facility and the player discovers the nature of the current crisis bit by bit. The game also has better graphics, user interface and various other improvements. The game was programmed in Flash/ActionScript 3. I created the game at the age of 19, in 2012.

Daniel waits for the energy sphere to pass.

Play online:

Features:

  • 5 levels
  • epic story telling of a dimension war
  • rewind time or slow it down
  • throw time grenade to send your foes into the future
  • story bubbles

Story: Daniel Novodnan is a researcher at the Time Travel Research Facility, a secret government base in the Czech republic. Recently, he gained some fame by creating the Dimension Sink, a device capable of making a permanent knot across dimensions. Daniel intended to do only good, and Dimension Sink was protected by the most strict security measures. Still, somehow, the extradimensionals crossed it and entered the facility, triggering the self-destruction mechanism. Could this happen by accident? Or did perhaps Eduard Zrádný, the lead researcher, play a role? Previous game: This is a reboot of a previous game of mine, Time Travel Research Facility. Play on my website:

Time Travel Research Facility

Time Travel Research Facility was the first game I programmed in Flash. It’s a platformer with the twist that the player can rewind or slow down time in order to pass puzzles and battle enemies.

The story involves escaping from a secret government facility and the obstacles to overcome are extradimensional monsters and automated defense systems.

The game was programmed in Flash/ActionScript 3. I also made a reboot of this game called Time Travel Research Facility 2 – I recommend you play that once instead.

I created the game at the age of 19, in 2012.

Play online:

Features:

  • 3 levels
  • story bubbles
  • rewind time or slow it down

Story:

Scientists played with dimension walking down on Level 4 in the Time Travel Research Facility. But the containment was broken and extradimensional creatures now roam the base. You must escape before the thermal sterilization occurs.

The reboot has a better story.

Streamstep

Streamstep (or Potokrok in Czech) is my second 3D game. The player receives quests from townsfolk in the village of Streamstep and battle monster outside and in a single dungeon – the abandoned temple. The player may also buy potions and level up skills.

I improved upon my graphical engine in many ways, which allowed me to have large levels with a heightmap. It was still pretty primitive even by standards of the time. The game was programmed in C# using the XNA 4.0 framework.

I created the game at the age of 19, in 2012.

Download (Setup EXE, 17 MB):

Features:

  • Level up your character
  • Voiced dialogues in English
  • Several quests that allow you to gain gold and experience
  • Riddle chests that open only if you answer the questions correctly

Story:

The fire monster has long been eating fishes from the river Streamstep is built over. Will you help the fisherman to defeat it, or will you instead plunder the Abandoned temple for a sacred chalice?
