WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.768 Hi. We're Yotes Games, 00:00:01.768 --> 00:00:04.129 and we're making a game about superpowered ponies 00:00:04.129 --> 00:00:05.905 beating the ever loving crud out of each other. 00:00:59.502 --> 00:01:03.256 Battle Gem Ponies is a turn-based RPG featuring 3v3 combat. 00:01:03.256 --> 00:01:06.714 Battle Gem Ponies originally launched on Steam Greenlight years ago 00:01:06.714 --> 00:01:09.626 and we've been taking it to cons and improving on the concept 00:01:09.626 --> 00:01:11.501 based on the feedback people have been giving us. 00:01:11.501 --> 00:01:13.032 I'm a gamer like all of you. 00:01:13.032 --> 00:01:16.257 So when the pandemic came around, I thought to myself: 00:01:16.257 --> 00:01:20.147 "Stay at a Fortune 500 Company, making an app used by millions? 00:01:20.147 --> 00:01:21.666 Or join an indie dev team?" 00:01:21.666 --> 00:01:24.267 The choice to me was obvious. I can't think of a better way 00:01:24.267 --> 00:01:26.417 of expressing my passion for video games, 00:01:26.417 --> 00:01:27.381 other than making them. 00:01:27.381 --> 00:01:30.000 So I joined the Yotes team. Together, we're going 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:31.543 to make games everyone will love. 00:01:32.381 --> 00:01:35.024 With battle being one of the biggest aspects of an RPG, 00:01:35.024 --> 00:01:37.578 we have created a playground to experience the battle mechanics 00:01:37.578 --> 00:01:39.284 which you can download RIGHT NOW. 00:01:39.619 --> 00:01:41.318 More demos are on the way, which will include 00:01:41.318 --> 00:01:43.498 pieces of the overworld for you to experience. 00:01:43.833 --> 00:01:45.351 The overworld is coming along nicely, 00:01:45.351 --> 00:01:47.493 and we look forward to keeping you updated along the way. 00:01:47.725 --> 00:01:51.143 In this world, superpowered ponies run around in the wild, 00:01:51.143 --> 00:01:52.782 fighting each other for sport. 00:01:52.782 --> 00:01:56.292 Some of these ponies team up with human beings to increase their power. 00:01:56.292 --> 00:02:00.792 Only about 20% of the population ever gets to become one of these "pony tamers". 00:02:00.792 --> 00:02:04.365 Some organizations see this as an opportunity to... 00:02:04.365 --> 00:02:05.798 Do what companies do. 00:02:05.798 --> 00:02:10.209 And they have invented the Poni-Bot! So anyone can become a tamer. 00:02:10.209 --> 00:02:13.751 But this company's been using that money to fund their real intentions... 00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:17.084 Alicorns. That have been known to terraform the world itself. 00:02:17.084 --> 00:02:21.323 Harnessing their power would mean you could weaponize natural disasters. 00:02:21.323 --> 00:02:24.212 In Battle Gem Ponies there's a lot of unique mechanics 00:02:24.212 --> 00:02:27.759 and great features that make it stick out from other Monster Tamer type games. 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:29.656 Some of those features include: 00:02:29.656 --> 00:02:32.520 Progression systems from things like Paper Mario, 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:34.636 Funny humor from Undertale, 00:02:34.636 --> 00:02:37.448 And the Monster diversity from Pokémon. 00:02:37.584 --> 00:02:41.019 Battle Gem Ponies includes a balanced roster of elemental ponies. 00:02:41.019 --> 00:02:44.025 Your pony can rapidly switch to 1 of 3 different forms, 00:02:44.025 --> 00:02:45.251 AND attack on the same turn. 00:02:45.251 --> 00:02:48.342 Each pony has 4 move slots, with each assigned to different roles. 00:02:48.342 --> 00:02:50.522 Including moves with dual elemental types. 00:02:50.522 --> 00:02:53.162 This game also doesn't waste your time with grinding 00:02:53.162 --> 00:02:54.876 with its unique level up system. 00:02:55.031 --> 00:02:56.284 And that's what makes it fun. 00:02:56.284 --> 00:02:58.722 You can play the game again in New Game+, 00:02:58.722 --> 00:03:01.504 and you can try out different paths that you've never taken before, 00:03:01.504 --> 00:03:05.360 min max stats, and see how your pony reacts in different situations. 00:03:05.476 --> 00:03:07.175 We want to keep this momentum going. 00:03:07.175 --> 00:03:09.639 With your support, we can get more people involved. 00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:11.389 And the more Stretch Goals we pass, 00:03:11.389 --> 00:03:13.234 the fewer things left on the cutting room floor. 00:03:13.363 --> 00:03:15.384 And we have all sorts of rewards planned. 00:03:15.384 --> 00:03:17.384 Things you might wanna get your hands on. 00:03:17.384 --> 00:03:19.882 We want to give Battle Gem Ponies the attention it deserves. 00:03:19.882 --> 00:03:21.637 And we can do that, with your help. 00:03:21.637 --> 00:03:24.612 To everyone that's been following the game's development so far, 00:03:24.612 --> 00:03:25.890 Thank you. 00:03:25.890 --> 00:03:27.890 And to everyone supporting us now... 00:03:27.890 --> 00:03:29.890 It really means the world to us.
