We are exhibiting our game at an event for the first time, and let us tell you, our Riding Simulator is already a hit πππ
The Demo for Horses of Hoofprint Bay is included in the Women's Day Sale by WINGS ππ We're thrilled and honored to get some more eyes on our little game made 100% by horse girls π #womensdaysale
Guess who has the best fucking booth at the con you guys (the saddle is a controller, it registers leg, seat and reins as inputs)
there's a discord link in the main menu of the demo :)
QRP with your sketch vs final!
our key art really got a glowup :D
No, because the main discipline in the game is showjumping, and jumping with western saddles tends to be a bad idea :)
yup! The game also features English style saddles, since that's what makes sense for the showjumping mechanics, and because that's what everyone on the team has the most experience with :)
I once joked that the ultimate indie game would be one that requires custom hardware built by the developers. This is a rare example of a real game coming close (although you can definitely play Horses of Hoofprint Bay without it).
photo of a desk setup with a monitor showing the Horses of Hoofprint Bay key art. in front of the desk is a saddle mounted on a sort of custom made barrel. In front of the saddle, there's a little shelf that contains a keyboard and a pair of reins.
Meet the team and play Horses of Hoofprint Bay.... from an actual saddle? π±
Thogli Studios will be at GG Bavaria in Munich next weekend, exhibiting our game with our home-built Riding Simulator that reacts to your seat, leg and rein inputs!

screenshot of patch notes on steam: Notable Changes - More settings available, like disabling sounds and some accessibility, e.g. zoom in lessons. - Balancing, e.g. exercise cost for training courses. - Pause riding and lessons on Esc. - Horses can be switched between full stable groups. - More QoL stuff. - A lot of bugfixes.
We've released a patch for the Horses of Hoofprint Bay Demo this week that includes lots of fixes and improvements, as well as additional accessibility settings! Have a look and give it another try π₯°

Thank you very much, and thank you for your videos!!
Rohara is taking one for the team and doing an evil run so you all get to see what injuries and illnesses look like without having to make your own horses suffer ππ
They did such a good job with this one. I missed the old games where you could own horses, train them, breed, care for them and give lessons. I mean this is definitely scratching that itch and I have really high hopes for this game.
DAS Pferdespiel von @thoglistudios.com und @themanequest.com hat auch schon lΓ€nger eine Demo, aber die ist sehr gut:

I put 2 hours into the demo last night. This game is abundantky cute. Its fairly simple, so I hope it gathers an audience of youngins like it derserves. But it did entertain my adult brain too! Just think its simple enough to be a great first video game.
Thank you all for playing the game, leaving reviews, talking about the game everywhere π₯Ή
We have Overwhelmingly Positive reviews for the Demo on Steam, were the top-placed Demo in Steam Horse Fest, got over 25k wishlists and the median playtime for the Demo is up to almost 3h π³π±π

we'd love to add more patterns soon-ish! π
A horse game that got grooming right?!
Most horse games give you one brush and call it a day, Horses of Hoofprint Bay is surprisingly accurate! π
See my playthrough on YouTube!

Guys, you're seriously knocking it out of the park. Best horse game in a LONG time π₯Ίπ
I don't say that lightly. I've kickstarted some and not even bothered playing them before π
I tried the demo, with the intent to only play it for an hour or so
Unfortunately I am addicted and keep playing.
Highly recommend, I cannot get over how cute the horses are.
This game is exactly what I mean when I say that GAMES SHOULD STOP TRYING TO LOOK REALISTIC. JUST BE FUN.
