The Pony Factory

The Pony Factory is a short FPS about fighting highly agile foes in a dark, high-contrast black-and-white world as Winston tries to make magical ponies in a factory.

Winston arrived at a solution to the moral decay of his town. He called out to hell, and hell answered. The human body could be twisted and stretched into a kinder, more equine shape, and Winston believed his town could be filled with magical ponies if he could provide a factory in which to make them.

He thought they would be beautiful, gentle, and good. Hell had other plans.

The game features meaty FPS combat against highly agile foes that try to evade and flank you. Darkness is a major factor, so muzzle flashes, sparks, sound, and other clues are needed to track enemies during combat.

It uses a high-contrast black and white aesthetic inspired by early 1950s science fiction films. The campaign is short and minimalist, with a completion time of about 30 minutes, and includes improvements such as quality of life features, balance and game feel changes, new story and gameplay content, full gamepad support, and bugfixes.
