The Revamp

Registration to Pony is currently closed as the site is going under a major revamp. The admin/creator/owner/coder of Pony is the lovely Katie, and I am managing the downtime forum for her while she does work on the site.

The plan is as follows:

• Revamp the training system so that it is more interactive and not quite so predictable. Maybe making it some sort of game.
• Recode shows. Make it easier to enter and even easier for upgraded members. It will essentially still be the same otherwise. Perhaps save the horses's crop and bit choice.
• Fix horse lineage bugs and show result bugs. Change when shows run. Maybe make more default shows until there are more players creating shows.
• Modify the breeding formula so that a foal's higher traits will match the parentss rather than the boost being random.
• Maybe move the breeder back to the old way where the player chooses at least the gender and breed. Colour will most likely remain random.
• Reorganize the shelter to make it easier to find horses.
• Fix search.
• Change tack boosts so that they increase the horse's potential in an area, rather than exceeding potential. This will fix the stat bar issue.
• New layout. Redesigning a lot of pages to make the site look better.
• Hire an artist.
• Clear the database of basically everything. This includes horses, messages, forum posts/replies, and alerts. Accounts will be kept intact and I should not have to clear inventories.

Updates will be posted regularly to show how the site is progressing!
