The Pony Factory

From the inflamed gut of David Szymanski comes another delightfully chaotic game about ponies. Yes, Iron Lung was about ponies. Yup.

Winston: "I'm sure the horses I create out of people using dark magic given to me by Hell itself will be beautiful, gentle, and good."

I love the idea of the ponies waiting to kill Winston while he writes down his screams of pain.

I love the idea of Winston the CEO writing down his screams of agony and making sure to sign off on his letter as he’s being attacked

The pony: walks
Mark: damn it's a magical one!

Fun fact! The other game from this developer is squirrel stapler, where god is a squirrel. The note saying squirrels want to stop the production is a way of god himself stepping in the way of hell

Can't wait to hear Mark talk about how hard working with horses on set is for his next movie

Other horror games: "Hold shift to sprint"
_The Pony Factory:_ "Hold shift to walk slowly"

I’m not the first to notice this, (I found a play-through of this a good several months ago, and someone there mentioned this. Haven’t seen anyone here bringing it up) but there is a really cool effect to notice with the visuals. Namely the colors.

When you start off with no blood split, the world is these harsh whites, blacks, and greys. Steadily as you shoot more ponies and spill more blood, the more colors start to appear. Red blood, orange and yellow windows, blue lights. A nice potential nod to the MLP’s Rainbow Factory.

Anyways, figured share this here if anyone else wanted to dig deeper.

That line... "Attaching additional weapons systems opens up bolt gun operators to the world of special operations...", that's straight out of the handbook for the USFA Zip 22, possibly the worst firearm ever made. I just wanna give some appreciation for that niche as heck reference.

[duskdev]

Yeah all the notes were pretty much just me alone in my room laughing uncontrollably to myself.

This was a nice surprise, thanks for playing!

I love the Squirrels implying that Squirrels = God and Hell = Ponies. Interesting lore connections to be had there for Squirrel Stapler and vice versa.

5:35 For those who don’t know what flaying is, imagine you have a potato, and you want to cook and eat the potato, but the way you want to cook it requires the skin of the potato to be removed, so you have to peel the potato first, but you also want to keep the skin intact so you can use it for something later.


Okay, now imagine you’re the potato.

[damion]

Them wanting to keep the sin levels down while also being owned by Hell itself is probably an attempt to keep everything hidden from God. "Alright guys, be on your absolute best behavior, if God figures out what we're doing here he's gonna be PISSED"

[veronicaagnes]

I don’t know why but it’s really funny to me that Mark can’t pronounce the name of the developer, with whom he’s probably had extensive contact during the production of the movie based on their game😂

I want to start a band call "Electrical Skin-Peeling Whimsy". It will only feature avant garde, free-form jazz with a constant background of agonized screaming.

[JOJO_biscuit]

just a moment to appreciate the idea of a "precarious death pit" in case the workers wanted to kill themselves due to the horrors of sin, and a bigger moment to appreciate the fact that mark didn't just randomly decided to jump into it the moment he saw it

[georgeholstein]

is this whole game an extreme version of that one joke about a little girl writing a letter to satan instead of santa asking for a pony?

[samwiseraleigh]

Loving the mix of "2015 rainbow factory creepypasta" and "1950s B horror movie". Surprisingly unique

[alymatronicdoesrandomness]

This game is a goldmind of band names. Welcome to the stage, Skin-Peeling Whimsy!

[mirose]

The fact that Winston thought that asking HELL to help him in making KIND and PURE magical ponies is a perfectly fine idea is the top hilarity of this game
I bet he just sat at his room, giggling to himself while making all the bad management decisions without checking if they really work until the ponies broke in
and "HOW COULD HEL BETRAY US LIKE THAT?
NO NO
