thank you for being great to work with and bringing our game to life on the audio side! 💚🐴
Scoring the trailer for Horses of Hoofprint Bay 🎶🐎
The brief: organic, playful, grounded. No big cinematic gestures, just music for a hand-drawn, European world.
So, I chose live guitars, bass, and real drums.
Excited to be on board for the game’s demo, too!

Enjoy a new gameplay clip from Horses of Hoofprint Bay today 🥰
The video shows the player filling up hay and water troughs, mucking out the stable, grooming their two mares (one of them is visibly pregnant!) and starting a stable upgrade for more space. What would you like to see next? 👀

a lot of horse games either force the player to groom/brush their horses outright, or make it a completely optional bonus thing. In Horses of Hoofprint Bay, not brushing your horse before you ride it can lead to saddle sores, and not picking its hooves can lead to abscesses.
A longer look at horse care in our game! 😍
You use the curry comb to remove dirt, but this roughens up the coat. You then use the brush to smooth down the hair again. The game never forces you to clean your horse, but riding while dirty may cause saddle sores!

diegetic UI is tricky but also so rewarding! Love when games feel like toys 🥰
Another glimpse behind the scenes of making Horses of Hoofprint Bay: We're currently improving on the horse trader visuals. While parts of the game were polished for the announcement trailer, a lot of features currently still consist of sketches and placeholders! (see alt text for more info!)
