Welcome to Horse Fable!

A crow stands before you with the latest newsletter.

Welcome to the lands of Horse Fable!

As you can see there’s quite a bit to be discovered in the lands and a whole slew of new locals joining us. Today is the official HoFa launch and we are welcoming many new faces!

 

Before we get too excited and go rushing around town, note, for safety reasons the wilds are currently closed. Word came in last night that some not-so-nice bugs are stomping about causing some nasty problems. Don’t worry, our small army of bug-eating turtles and the dev team are hard at work to get those bugs under control.

 

Don’t fret! Plenty of other activities in town are up and running for you to experience. Our locals have been warned about such a large influx of newcomers and some are ready to chat for just a bit. Due to the huge influx of newcomers, most of the town locals won’t be able to chat for a bit but they have left away notes to let you know when they’ll be back.

 

Thankfully Reed LePage has compiled some documentation for us all to help everyone settle in. Check out the Wiki to read all about the current features.

 

If you have any questions, please post in our Help Forum or join our Discord. 

 

🌈 Getting Started

Since most locals will be busy catering to such huge demand and unable to help everyone get started, Reed has also created a quick start guide for us all. We know it's quite a bit to take in, however, there are plenty of others who are able to help you out in the forums or Discord. 

 

🐴 Coming Soon

The lands of Horse Fable are ever-changing with some features taking a while to prepare for you all. Don’t worry! We have word from the capital the following changes are coming soon:

 

The Wilds

You’ll notice signs leading out from town that point to the wilds. This will be an explorable map where you can walk around and find items, events, and wild horses. Wild horses, you say?! Yes! They’re galloping right outside of town in the Hoofbeat Plains. More details coming soon!

 

Treats

Want to give something yummy to horses? Or maybe lure in a wild one? Treats can be crafted from items found in The Wilds.

 

Player vs Player

Feeling extra competitive? Want to see if your neighbors’ horses are as good as yours? You can challenge them to see! This will be a new type of activity for horses where you can earn points just like showing. 

 

Estate Building

So many things to see in town! Why not bring that to your estate and spice things up a bit? 

 

Equipper

We’re working behind the scenes on the ability for infinite customizations for your horses. How could this happen, you ask? Great question! We want to introduce the ability to drag and drop items onto a horse’s image, making each item unique in placement if you desire. 

 

More Quests

We are in the process of looking for a dedicated quest writer. This means that quests will be coming regularly with different storylines of our locals. We’re also planning some sort of daily quest to keep gameplay interesting. ^_^

 

New Breed

A new breed will soon be gracing us with its presence. What shall it be? Any guesses?

 

Cheers,

Bedouin and Curly
