In Horses of Hoofprint Bay, horses don't have a health bar, but they get specific conditions depending on what you (care, feed, training etc.)
Cuts and abrasions can happen during training, or even just in pasture, but they're easy to treat and don't prevent your horse from working that day!

Field recording at a horse stable for Horses of Hoofprint Bay 🐎🔊
Currycombs, hoof picks, brushes, and other textures that will help bring the hand-drawn, tactile game world to life.
Hard to source elsewhere, so recording on location was key.

I find this super fascinating! I've dabbled in some programming/scripting myself and I'm learning a lot working together with Theresa (not that I could do any of that myself though xD but it's cool to see what's possible!)

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? 👀
