Winston arrived at a solution to the moral decay of his town.

He called out to hell, and hell answered. The human body could, hell promised, be twisted and stretched into a kinder, more equine shape. Winston's town, now filled with ignorant hate-mongers, could instead be filled with magical ponies, if he could provide a factory in which to make them. Winston thought they would be beautiful, gentle, and good.

Hell had other plans...

The Pony Factory is a short action/horror game inspired by Doom 3, with a darkly comedic story, striking black and white visual style, and visceral FPS gameplay. This is an updated standalone release of the original game, which was created in 7 days as part of the Dread X Collection 1.

• Meaty FPS combat against highly agile foes who will attempt to evade and flank you.
  
• Darkness is your enemy! Use muzzle flashes, sparks, sound, and other clues to track foes during combat.
  
• High contrast black and white aesthetic inspired by early 1950's science fiction films.
  
• A short minimalist campaign that can be completed in about 30 minutes.
  
• Numerous improvements from the original release, including many new quality of life features, balance and game feel improvements, new story and gameplay content, full gamepad support, and of course bugfixes!

My brother John Szymanski (director of My Friendly Neighborhood) assisted with this version and will be receiving half of the royalties in an effort to provide him with enough income to continue game development until he begins receiving money from MFN.

John also released his own game today: a tense puzzle/horror game called Exiled:

- Loading Once Again mode with pre-anniversary data will no longer cause unplayable errors, although you likely won't have all your items and upgrades unfortunately.

- If you would like to finish a playthrough of One Again mode with your inventory intact, you can opt into the "pre-anniversary" branch on Steam

Chop Goblins is (almost) one year old!

Well, technically it will be one year old on December 12th, but that's two days after both Dusk and Doom are having big anniversary milestones so... we're doing a Chop Goblins anniversary celebration today instead!

Here's what the Anniversary Update brings to the game...


Enjoy two powerful new weapons... the Scattergun and the Six Shooter.
These will replace the Flintlock and Street Sweeper respectively if you turn on "Alt Weapons" on the difficulty selection screen, but you can still use both the Flintlock and Street Sweeper by hitting the corresponding weapon selection key twice.

Which means that it is now both easy and effective to quickswap between all six weapons, if you want to try playing Chop Goblins like it's Doom Eternal. You should, it's fun.

A bit, at least. The dagger now attacks slightly faster and does slightly more damage, allowing you to consistently one-shot low level enemies (i.e the annoying brown ones) and better deflect projectiles.

The Street Sweeper's choke upgrade, previously found only in the bonus levels, can now be acquired in the original campaign as well. I don't actually remember where I put it though. Someone let me know.

Most of you will probably have to take my word for it, but Chop Goblins should run better on lower end machines now, thanks to a collection of different optimizations and tweaks under the hood.

I wanted to try getting maybe a bonus level and/or a free release of all the game assets done as part of this update also, but I just didn't end up having the time with the new baby and all. But hopefully you enjoy the new weapons, and jumping back in to celebrate one year of wholesale goblin slaughter. While Chop Goblins isn't the most successful, the deepest, or the best game I've made, it's one I'm extremely fond of, and I've enjoyed supporting it with new content and fixes. Only time will tell what else the future holds for the goblins...

It's an early Fall miracle! Squirrel Stapler is out now!

A lonely man living in a remote cabin wakes up one day and realizes his beloved--a dismembered corpse nailed to the cabin wall--has been made ugly and rotten by the flies that swarm her. He wishes she were beautiful, like the squirrels of the wood. And so he sets out to hunt the squirrels of the wood, so that he might staple them to her and make her beautiful again.

Originally created as part of The Dread X Collection II, Squirrel Stapler is a horror hunting simulator that satirizes low budget edutainment games with pitch black humor and panic-inducing absurdist horror, and a new and improved standalone version is coming September 15th!

• Hunt squirrels! Move quietly, hide in bushes, stay low, and pick the right time to pull the trigger!
  
• Lure even bigger squirrels with a squirrel call!
  
• Be wary of larger creatures and vengeful ghosts! You aren't the only alpha predator in the forest!
  
• Freely explore a large nonlinear map littered with educational squirrel facts and more!
  
• Meet god!
