BOBBY SCHROEDER PRESENTS SUPER LESBIAN HORSE RPG:
PREEMPTIVE GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION
=================================================

Hey guys. So thanks for downloading my game! This is the first game I've ever finished, and as a dude who wants to someday become a professional video game designer that's a PRETTY BIG DEAL FOR ME. This means a lot to me, and I'm really glad that so many people are interested in playing something I made! Especially since people stayed interested in playing it for ELEVEN WHOLE MONTHS OF DEVELOPMENT. That took a long time. But now it's done, and I've never been more proud in my entire life.

-----

Okay enough gushing from me time for some useful information

**FIRST OF ALL, BEFORE PLAYING THE GAME, YOU NEED TO INSTALL THE CHINRG_.TTF FONT FILE INCLUDED WITH THIS GAME. THE GAME WILL NOT LOOK RIGHT WITHOUT IT**

You also may want to know the controls. The game tells you at the very beginning, but here's a quick list of buttons and what they do just in case you need a reminder.

Default Controls:
 -ARROW KEYS: move
 -Z/SPACEBAR: select, interact
 -X/ENTER/ESC: menu, cancel
 -SHIFT: run
 -Q/W: switch party members in the skills, equipment, etc. menus
 -F1: RPG Maker settings menu
 -F5: toggle window size (if your resolution enough)

(You can customize the controls a bit with the F1 menu but it's kind of a pain, I would just suggest using the shift/z/x combo. Also, you can use a gamepad and customize the controls with the F1 menu.)

I think the game pretty much speaks for itself, but here are some little tips I'm gonna throw your way to hopefully enhance your experience. If you're not familiar with JRPGs then DEFINITELY read these tips.

1. Take your time. It's a pretty short game, clocking in at about 3-6 hours if you do EVERYTHING. And a lot of my favorite content is actually optional and/or secret. So talk to everyone. Check out anything that looks kind of interesting or suspicious. Look around you. Look around you. Just look around you. Have you worked out what we're looking for? Correct. The answer is: FlutterDash.

2. All of your party members start off with useful special abilities, and they gain more as they level up. For instance, Fluttershy can heal her friends in and out of battle, and Twilight knows a fire attack. Use them to your advantage, but don't forget to mind your MP gauge.

3. Don't be surprised when the ponies talk a lot. The dialogue is like the main point of the game. Let it entertain you. Don't mash the spacebar to get through the dialogue as fast as possible, you won't have nearly as much fun with my game.

4. Remember to go to the equipment menu and equip any armor/clothes you find. They're useless otherwise.

5. You can save at any time while exploring, provided you aren't in a battle or a cutscene.

Special thanks to my wonderful friends and acquaintances for encouraging me to work on this silly thing! It's been a lot of fun and I can't wait to see what everyone thinks of the finished game.

A proper credits sequence and a list of specific people I want to thank can be found at the very end of the game, as you would hopefully expect.

Okay bye I need to shut up already have fun with the game you guys!!
