Hey yall. As you've seen here - unfortunately a large portion of the ivy road team was laid off today, myself included. We're all looking for work! Gonna do a quick thread about those who were laid off today and why you should hire them:

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf

People seem to like it when stuff gets smashed, so I'm working on adding a bunch of new destructibles!

Also, better crowd behaviors so they can run away if you get too close.

Still some bugs though...
