Development Update #2 (9/4/20) The State of 1.0 Since the launch of version 1.0 in late April, we've been focusing on improvements to the online experience in TFH to prepare for Evo Online and later Grand Stampede, including netcode enhancements, a reworked Classic Lobby, Battle Shrines, and...

Hey everyone! This is quite impromptu, but we're debuting a new stream series tomorrow! Introducing: Aaron Plays Fighting Games, a casual, non-TFH-related show where I get together with Cam and Oreo from our QA team to... well... play more fighting games! In this first episode, we're learning...

Post-Launch Development Update #1 (5/12/20) It's been almost two weeks since the release of Version 1.0 and Story Mode Chapter 1. Now that the dust has settled (and a much-desired break has been taken), I'd like to offer up our thoughts on how we feel the release went and what's next for TFH...

1.0 Release Delayed by One Month - Now April 30th Last night we submitted our draft build of Story Mode to a small closed community testing group. Long story short, they uncovered a number of major gameplay issues that need to be addressed before we feel Chapter 1 is ready for release. We have...

Hey everyone! In case you missed our most recent ManeCast stream, we made some major announcements that I'd like to get down in writing. Here we go: First off, I am now President of Mane6. Previously this honor was held by Lauren Faust herself, but since she's more of an art director these...

Greetings all. In my previous news update, I announced that the recordings of our TFH tournaments at Frosty Faustings could not be uploaded because I had left my laptop (containing the recordings) at airport security when we were returning home. Well, good news everyone! TSA sent me my laptop...

Greetings all. Our '19-'20 Winter Event Tour has finally come to a close and the team is back home safe. We've got some post-event news to announce, but first let me take a moment to deeply, sincerely thank all the players who stopped by our booth and participated in our tournaments at NEC...

In my last development update, I announced that the estimated release date of version 1.0 is being extended into the next year and that we will now only provide estimates if we were sure we could make the deadline. There’s a little more I’d like to add to this conversation. Over the last week...

During last week’s ManeCast stream, we showed off our current progress on level 3 supers. Visuals, sound, and balance are still very much a WIP, but now you know what they are, how they work, and what plans we have to spice them up even further. There’s something important we need to discuss...

Early Access Patch #20 (09/30/19) This update fixes some bugs and wraps up the last little bits of Salt Mines 2.0 that weren't considered "mission critical" during its debut. The dungeon UI has a new look, we've added music to the shop, shop dialogue has been expanded and slowed down a bit...

Greetings all. Now that Salt Mines 2.0 has been released into the wild, here’s the latest on our future plans. Much earlier in the year as I was first joining the team, I made a prediction that we’d be reaching 1.0 by the end of Summer. Well... that’s in two days. Suffice to say, looks like my...

Hey all, Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday so far. In my last Development Update, I outlined our estimated release date for Salt Mines 2.0 as well as our upcoming stream schedule. Here's the latest on that. The Salt Mines 2.0 patch will release to the public on WEDNESDAY (9/11). We don't...

Development Update - June 12, 2019 For the last few weeks our team has been away on a triple event showcase tour. We made an appearance at Xanadu here in Maryland, hoofed it over to Combo Breaker in Chicago, then immediately flew out to Dallas for Dreamhack. The overwhelmingly positive response...

Hello. Normally this is about the time we'd be announcing our next work stream. During the last few weeks since the previous patch, we've been working on some highly technical stuff, and we're not convinced it would make for a very interesting stream. So this month, we made the difficult...
