I like the idea of random pasture breeding and I think it would make a nice feature, as long as we can avoid inbreeding. It will had a bit of realism and micro-managment of the horses outside. From what I'm seeing, this game has the potential to become one of my favorite. 😊
I would love for the possibility of a naturally occurring pregnancy if you put a stallion and mare in the same pasture! To prevent the annoyingness of a "random" pregnancy, you could possibly have a pop-up when a mare and stallion are placed in the same pasture. It could say something like, "mares and stallions left unattended in a pasture may breed, resulting in a foal. Separating them in different pastures will prevent this" or something to that affect! Your game looks really cool
Or when you whistle, all the horses run away in terror 😂 Loved the video! Random breeding would be so cool! Little surprises from time to time! And it's not something I've seen in a horse game yet. Looking forward to the next video! ^^
I think the separate pastures are amazing. Especially if temperaments were added to the game. Not every horse will get along so it would be realistic to keep some horses apart. Keep the realism for the small percentage of mares getting pregnant if put in with a stallion. Looks incredible!
I personally love the idea of random breeding! it definitely adds realism and is something I haven't seen before! Everything is looking amazing so far 😍 can't wait to see what's next!
I love the idea of that horse breed when in the pasture together like you mentioned it adds more realism and I love that so much that you might have to think more about which horse you place with who :) ♥ I am so excited for this game like so freaking much the style is so different from other horse games and I have followed this journey for a long time now and the game just gets better and better just keep it up and can not wait to play it! ♥
I like the idea of random breeding, but I would like you to also be able to go to a place where, by choosing the parents you want, you can have a foal. Anyways, it gives a point of more realism to the game. I think the game has a lot of potential and if you release updates little by little it will be used much better. I can not wait! ^^
Yes either way there will be selective breeding where you pick the mare and stallion for sure! The random breeding would just be an addition ^^ Thank you so much! :D
Thanks for the update, I love the features that are planned, this seems like a very in-depth game. I saw that the horses will have personalities, and I would love to see them interact together in the pasture based on personality. Maybe two friendly horses can nuzzle each other, or a shy horse can be more intimidated by an outgoing horse. Perhaps personalities could have an impact on whether pasture breeding is more likely to occur.
i love the idea of random pasture breeding. i instantly thought of leaving all my mares in with a good stallion to see how many good kids i'd get. but i also like the idea of more custom breeding. i was thinking you could have both. you can choose to plan a mass breeding in your pasture and also focus breed (idk a better term) in your stables via a separate breeding barn/stall or you could do so through a pop up in the mares stall.
i absolutely love the stylized look of this game! the creativity you’ve put into this is really refreshing and it’s great to see a new unique horse game. also, i think the random breeding would be a really interesting feature, but you should include a toggle for it so players can chose themselves if they want it or not
I like the idea of a mare and stallion breeding if left in the same pasture! But, if randomly, then maybe have a warning before you leave the two alone - that it can result in a foal. In case that's not what the player wants to happen! And if it wasn't already being planned this way - that TO breed, you would leave the mare and stallion alone in a pasture together. :)
I love the idea you have for breeding with the pastures. It different from so many other games and it would separate your game from other horse breeding in games. Ive played a lot of different horse games and love this one the most. Its amazing. I cant wait to see what you do this year :D
i definitely think random breeding would be an interesting twist and something very different than what i normally see in games. so excited to play this and thank you for the updates!!
A option like a special pasture for breeding that increases the possibility for a sucessful breed would be nice with the random breed on a usual pasture
Oh I would love the random breeding! In that way it would really make more sense with the separated pastures and I love to get surprised with foales. I was never the type of "only the best" but more "experimental" and have never regretted anything. :D
I will say especially after the flunk with Horse Tales I am BEYOND excited for this one even when I first found out about it because you give us so many updates and include us in the decisions it just means a lot. Definitely love the random breeding idea and if possible to have an option for turning it off it would still help keep it even for everyone who isn't a huge fan of it. Looking forward to the roadmap
Maybe the random breeding could be something you can toggle on and off if it isn't too complicated or annoying to implement. I really like the randomised breeding idea! It would be kind of fun to just open everything up with all the mares and stallions and just see what happens XD
Omg, I cannot wait for this game!!!! 😱😱🤩 I think random breeding would be very fun, and the separate pastures are amazing! This game looks absolutely amazing, thanks for your hard work 👏🏻
So excited Ellie! I love the new design for the stables and so excited to see what training foals will be like. Even just seeing their tiny baby model! I also noticed you added new coats! 🤩
This game is so cute and it's awesome to see your process as you go through development! It's really inspirational to see and makes me want to work on my own game dev projects again.
omg girl I just found out these games were made by you, I have Lemon Cake, and I'm going to get Capybara Spa and Bunny Park soon, I AM SO EXCITED by this game. I used to play Petz Horsez 2 on the PC and I loved the daily routine of taking care of my horses.
Like the idea of the random breeding, but maybe add a contraceptive toggle so people can decide if they want the pasture horses breeding if they're not kept seperate. Could see it being a bit of a nightmare depending on other factors (if the mares are unavailable to ride while pregnant/how difficult or time-consuming it is to sell an unwanted foal).
I kind of love the idea of if the mare and stallion is left together they could have a foal. I am always looking for realism in horse games, I'm sure many others do to, and I have nvr heard of this concept in anything but Sims 3. Plus it would add more dynamic to the game. So personally I say go for it. But will we have the option to make a stallion a gelding if we aren't planning on using him as a stud?
Possibly having a specific pasture for breeding so if you want a mare to breed, you’d put her in there with a stallion, then the rest are just regular pastures?🤔 It would also be interesting to have real life training such as lunging, poles before jumping and desensitization with flags and stuff to reduce spookability and having western and English riding styles. This is the first I’m seeing of this game, which looks incredible so far, so not sure what’s already implemented, but it looks sooo good😍
Please add the random breeding chance. We need challenges like that in games more. Or at least add it as an option for those of us who'd like a more realistic approach. Can't wait to play!
Also, with the idea of horses getting forage from the pasture grasses, have you thought about adding a feature where the grass depletes or gets shorter over time so we either have to fertilize the ground or just rotate horses out of it so it can grow back up? Would add some realism but might be too much for other players.
I think random breeding in the pastures would be a great idea! Yes please! I love the more realistic aspects. :D Also I really love the new lead rope and halter! I look forward to the new colours and models. I really hope that we will be able to ride with only halters for when I want to ride bareback. So much love! Eeee and lets not forget the new feeding animations and the new foods! I am super excited to be able to feed my horses and I agree that it is much more entertaining to see the horses actually eating the items in game. I really appreciate that different feeds will give different bonuses and stats which will allow me to tailor my game play the way I like to. Food that spawns around the world is also a great idea, which will help a lot in case farming is not implemented in the game or if I need extra food. Thank you again for all your wonderful work and efforts you are putting into this game! Will there be wild horses that we can tame too? It would be really fun if wild horses could spawn occasionally with rare coats or rare stats. Will there also be wild animals or other creatures what will move about randomly and populate the game? It would make the place feel nice and full and alive. I am not sure what kinds of maps we will be able to race in but I hope there will be a few in the wild forests or on mountain paths. :)
Aw thank you so much! Yes it seems like everyone is agreeing that random pasture breeding would be fun :D I will definitely add the ability to use a halter instead of a bridle, I think it will be really cute too! I do plan on adding wild horses later on, there will be a limited amount of them so you can't get a ton of free horses, but they would all have unique coat colors or patterns that you can then add to your stable ^^ And yes the competitions will be set on a lot of different maps! Cheers :D
the more i play the demo, the more im interested! im only on about day 7 or so but its grown on me. one thing is that when i first downloaded, it was on max graphics and i had to turn it down to fast. ( was still a bit laggy but playable ) that might be a turnoff for those with crappier pcs, its only the demo ofc but maybe default to fast/good when you first download
I would definitely love the option of random breeding, I'd love to keep a herd with a stallion in the big pasture and some of the mares becoming pregnant as they would in real life!
I think random breeding should be included. The realism sounds good. Just a curious question are you going to fine tune the animations and add more by chance?
I think random breeding would be neat as a small chance as long as there was an option (or default) no inbreeding since even if it doesn't have gameplay factor ik many people especially role players would want to avoid possible inbreeding. I personally don't mind in games but it is a good feature to have either way imo
Hi I just meet your game and I have a couple of questions, Will the game have diferent breeds? and I see the movements of the horses a bit static, will this change in the future? Thank you.
For breeding, maybe have both but when out at pasture have a much smaller chance of them getting pregnant. Like say if each breeding was 90% successful when specifically chosen, then at pasture breeding would be only 10%.
I also think turning off and on would be good because if your like some peopel you would love it but if your like me you would be driven crazy. espeshely if you have to keep updatting your stable wich would no dout take munny.also i don't think i would like takeing care of millions of horses.But this could work if you have the opinnon to... don't make me say it... sell horses. But agein its up to you and the people.
more realistic better for breeders this would be nice u just leave them together and u can go with another horse do comps maybe would be needed have option to geld stallions to keep with mares?
I think you should not do this because it might freek people out and it whon't be controlibel. but yes it dose add reallisme to the game.pluss I,d rather choose . like if iI had a horse named so and a horse named to and i whan,ted to breed them then i have the right to breed them with out so haveing a foul with anuther stallion.
I Look foward to this game! It looks lovley! 😅❤️ I only hope that I will be able to buy it and play it. We live in hard Times and I am not shure, if mine country will have enough electricity for winter to even warm up our houses and light them, so there will be nothing left for charging other divices than phones. 🥲 Still I am happy to see this game grow.
I can't wait to feed horses some apples 🥺 I also think random breeding would be super fun, but maybe have it where you can toggle on and off!
I cannot wait for this game omg! I love the style, the graphics, mechanics and the models of the horses ♥
I like the idea of random pasture breeding and I think it would make a nice feature, as long as we can avoid inbreeding.
It will had a bit of realism and micro-managment of the horses outside.

Hi yeah i agree it would give more thinking in game than just mehh i place u here with everyone else even u a stallion

i love the random breeding feature!! it’s more realistic and i wish more games implemented that!
I’m so excited to see everything put together!! It’s such a beautiful game 💕
Thanks for the update, I love the features that are planned, this seems like a very in-depth game. I saw that the horses will have personalities, and I would love to see them interact together in the pasture based on personality.

This is the horse game I wanted as a kid, and I absolutely can't wait to play it!! Love seeing all the thought went into it as well. Great video!!

Random breeding seems very fun and realistic but it could also have a pasture for this purpose

Psst, you can check roadmap on Steam! It's amaizing ❤️
found myself whistling the main tune all throughout the video. excellent devlog :)
I love the idea of a random breeding chance. Makes things more interesting
Looking forward for release! Been a fan since I found lemon cake around its release, one of my fave wee games to chill with~
Maybe the random breeding could be something you can toggle on and off if it isn't too complicated or annoying to implement. I really like the randomised breeding idea! It would be kind of fun to just open everything up with all the mares and stallions and just see what happens XD
Omg, I cannot wait for this game!!!! 😱😱🤩 I think random breeding would be very fun, and the separate pastures are amazing! This game looks absolutely amazing, thanks for your hard work 👏🏻

So excited Ellie! I love the new design for the stables and so excited to see what training foals will be like. Even just seeing their tiny baby model! I also noticed you added new coats! 🤩
A western saddle too!? This might be something a new thing to look forward to!
This game is so cute and it's awesome to see your process as you go through development! It's really inspirational to see and makes me want to work on my own game dev projects again.
I love the idea of random breeding! Also it would be fun to be able to catch and gentle wild horses. Then the round pen could come in handy :D
omg girl I just found out these games were made by you, I have Lemon Cake, and I'm going to get Capybara Spa and Bunny Park soon, I AM SO EXCITED by this game. I used to play Petz Horsez 2 on the PC and I loved the daily routine of taking care of my horses.
I miss your streams but love the progress you've made with this game. Such a beautiful project. Keep it up
Random breeding sounds so cool i have never heard of that
I think the random breeding is a great idea but maybe u could make the horses like gallop or trot around the pasture that would be really fun
Like the idea of the random breeding, but maybe add a contraceptive toggle so people can decide if they want the pasture horses breeding if they're not kept seperate. Could see it being a bit of a nightmare depending on other factors (if the mares are unavailable to ride while pregnant/how difficult or time-consuming it is to sell an unwanted foal).

And I think mules would be a fun addition to the games
random breeding would be lovely! can't wait for this game to be out, I love it so much!
I love the idea of the random breeding
Sees awesome!! Very good job!!
Aaahhhhh this is coming together so well!!

Legit DREAM HORSE GAME!!!!
I hope later maybe as DLC you would add more discipline to participate in like working equitation
Ooo add wild horses will be so cool!
I think random breeding in the pastures would be a great idea! Yes please! I love the more realistic aspects. :D
Also I really love the new lead rope and halter! I look forward to the new colours and models. I really hope that we will be able to ride with only halters for when I want to ride bareback. So much love!

I like the idea of random breeding
The more realistic the better ♥️
This is beautiful!
Both ways of breeding so like yes planned breeding and natural way of it happening when yes studs are in with mares yes 😀
the more i play the demo, the more im interested! im only on about day 7 or so but its grown on me. one thing is that when i first downloaded, it was on max graphics and i had to turn it down to fast. ( was still a bit laggy but playable ) that might be a turnoff for those with crappier pcs, its only the demo ofc but maybe default to fast/good when you first download
I realy lovveee the rendom breeding idea ❤❤❤
I love this game!
I would definitely love the option of random breeding, I'd love to keep a herd with a stallion in the big pasture and some of the mares becoming pregnant as they would in real life!
please please let us know when you have an early access release date, because I NEED this game! I'm about to play through the demo for the third time!
I’m excited for the game!
Will you do the switch and other console’s later on?
random breeding would be so much fun
i would love random breeding, as long as there is a feature to shut off inbreeding i think it would be a good idea!
I think random breeding should be included. The realism sounds good. Just a curious question are you going to fine tune the animations and add more by chance?

Ah that's true I didn't even think about that! Yes good point I could probably add it so by default it doesn't happen. Thank you! ^^
Loving your game but struggling to understand how I upgrade the stable or breed?
Hi I just meet your game and I have a couple of questions, Will the game have diferent breeds? and I see the movements of the horses a bit static, will this change in the future? Thank you.
What other games have you made i want to play more but I can't find any
my inner 9 year old horse girl has risen,, i'm ready
For breeding, maybe have both but when out at pasture have a much smaller chance of them getting pregnant. Like say if each breeding was 90% successful when specifically chosen, then at pasture breeding would be only 10%.
Is there a discord for this game for updates and stuff
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I also think turning off and on would be good because if your like some peopel you would love it but if your like me you would be driven crazy. espeshely if you have to keep updatting your stable wich would no dout take munny.also i don't think i would like takeing care of millions of horses.But this could work if you have the opinnon to... don't make me say it... sell horses.

please make shure there canbe masculine characters 🥺🥺💗💗
more realistic better for breeders this would be nice u just leave them together and u can go with another horse do comps maybe would be needed have option to geld stallions to keep with mares?
Is it mobile and is it posted yet?
I’m excited to play it if it is mobile
It's gonna be on steam so not mobile
Plsss do add the feature where the mare may get pregnant if they’re together plssss
Please let us pick up items from the horse. It soon will become super annoying to get off the horse each time otherwise.
I think you should not do this because it might freek people out and it whon't be controlibel. but yes it dose add reallisme to the game.pluss I,d rather choose . like if iI had a horse named so and a horse named to and i whan,ted to breed them then i have the right to breed them with out so haveing a foul with anuther stallion.
I Look foward to this game!
It looks lovley! 😅❤️
I only hope that I will be able to buy it and play it.
We live in hard Times and I am not shure, if mine country will have enough electricity for winter to even warm up our houses and light them, so there will be nothing left for charging other divices than phones. 🥲
Still I am happy to see this game grow.
