Making your own jump course? Behind the scenes

An experimental feature I've been working on for just a couple of hours so far.

Tales of Rein Ravine discord servers?

There is no official Discord server for Tales of Rein Ravine, at least as of yet, due to the fact that I would not have time to upkeep and moderate a server on top of doing everything else.

However, I'm aware of unofficial servers existing. If you are an owner of an unoffic...

About the 0.4 update and a blog post about the infamous reins!

The newest update to the demo (with the new competition mode!) was planned to come out today, but will be delayed to come out on Wednesday the 23rd instead.

A bit of a backstory:

Since the release of the last demo version I've fina...

New feature: Modding the jump course

Demo is exactly a week away from release! There's still some stuff to do though. Here's a feature that will be be available in the Free Riding mode. You will be able to lower or higher individual jumps in the arena. It's easy and quick, you just walk near an obstacle and use either E (hi...

Mountain riding arena, new riding features

In this video I'm riding in the arena up in the snowy mountains 🤩

New riding features have been added. You can now switch up a gait instantly by tapping both legs at once (both mouse buttons down at the same time). If you double tap the horse will do a walk-to-canter or stop-to-canter tr...

Wooden barn update

This is the same cozy barn you've seen here and in my Youtube videos a plenty of times. It's been built and rebuilt I think 3 times now. I'm starting to think this will be close to it's final form. I matched the style and textures to the indoor riding arena behind the stable. The loft that this s...

Luxurious barn update

This is what the luxurious barn looks like nowadays!

Working on the landscape again!

New landscape with better performance

Today I started re-making the landscape. The old landscape was unfortunately too performance heavy for the size it needs to be. I want there to be a lot of mountains and valleys and of course the ravine which is what the whole area is named after (Rein Ravine 😎). The textures and the style wil...

NEW FEATURE: Hunter jumping courses

One of the most common requests I get is to add hunter style jumping courses. To those of you who haven't heard of hunters, it's like a mix of dressage and showjumping. Showjumping is only judged by knocked poles and time, meaning that the boldest rider with the most risk-taking typically wins. H...

GAME MECHANICS: EVERYTHING ABOUT STAMINA

I'm starting a series exclusively here on Patreon where I tell you about the various game mechanics of Tales of Rein Ravine in more detail than I've done anywhere else. Bits and pieces of this stuff you might have previously read about on my Instagram, but since I've taken down a big chunk of the...

Riding Arena! First person riding

Here's a new riding arena. The textures are not yet finished (like the ground is not supposed to have leaves 🤣). I'm obsessed with the first person camera mode 😍 The camera is now a lot smoother and the rider's hands are better positioned for the camera view. There's a button that lets the ...

Snow test

Would you want to have a snowy area in the game?

Hot blooded canter animations

The hot blooded horse gets excited when it sees a jump. There's now additional canter and gallop animations when the horse is excited vs cantering normally. Also more ear movement added. 

Jumping boots

No texture yet!

Real hoofprints in the sand

Been testing out a this kind of sand material that's able to receive "real" hoofprints instead of just flat hoofprint pictures on the ground. This material is too render heavy for the lower graphics settings but for those who are able to play with higher graphics I think its a nice addition of re...

Jumping seat

Improved the rider's jumping position on bigger jumps!

New plank obstacles

Obstacle styles, animations, music!

I'm working on creating a larger variety of obstacles, here you can see the planks and decorations I added. The planks are introduced at intermediate showjumping level (90cm and up) and they fall down somewhat easier than the round poles. Animations are getting small improvements all the time, re...
