Merch Store, Bug Fixes, and More!
Hello everyone and happy end of the week! Today we have bug fixes, a merch store release, a reminder about an in-game feature, dev progress, and more!
🐴 HoFa Merch Store!
Today we are excited to announce the soft launch of the HoFa merch store! We are opening up the merch store with a limited selection of shirts and mugs to get comfortable with the ordering and fulfillment process. The store currently has several designs for t-shirts, long sleeve tees, and mugs that are HoFa specific or Halloween inspired. All of the shirts are printed on soft high-quality fabric and are unisex in fit. The mugs are all large 15oz mugs that hold just enough coffee to get your morning started!
Special thanks to our artists Thunderbolt for designing “Pegasus” and Darya for the "Haunted Hollow Horse Supply" design! We expect to soon also have our plushies, stickers, and a few other fun items available for you! Now until December 1st orders of $50 USD or more are eligible for free shipping using code HoFaShip.

- Black: Tempest by beni
Those of you who won please contact us at [email protected] so we can work to get your prizes to you. :)
🛠️ Dev Progress
Our new developers are currently working to understand the code and show system. They have a scheduled 2-week vacation they will be taking so updates on the show lag will be coming through in a few weeks. While they are gone we will be working with another dev to fix the remaining bugs in the bug box. We are excited to say we are below 2 pages of bugs! A large improvement from the 6+ we had when we began one month ago. 💪

✨ Feature of the Week: Foal Predictor
Since we have several new folks and many returning we are going to be posting about game features that some may not know about or would like more info on! This week we are talking about the foal predictor.
The foal predictor can be found under Town>Foal Predictor. Here you can select any breedable stallion and mare in your barn and for an ingot cost, have the predictor show you four possible foal outcomes.
Prediction using home owned horses.
Additionally, you can also predict foals for breedings to horses outside your barn by inputting the horses ID you may potentially breed to. Note to upgraded users: This automatically removes the option to breed directly from the predictor.
Outside prediction.
The basic cost to predict four foals is 5 ingots and will show possible foal colors with their gene string and training boost (TB). For 5 more ingots, 10 total, you can add in possible Breed Standards (BS), Breed Variance (BV), and Performance Stats (PS) results. Note, if the foal outcomes are generic crossbreeds then the BV will display as N/A due to the foal being a generic crossbreed.
Basic foal prediction.
Enhanced foal prediction.
For those of you who are upgraded, should you find you would like to breed your selected breedable horses, you can either opt to breed them now or schedule the breeding for later via the Breeding Planner.
📝 A Note

Have a wonderful rest of the weekend everyone!

What an update! Thank you! And congrats to the name winners! The designs are beautiful and I'm going to snag a shirt, but I hope to see more HoFa related merch in the future. 💜 🐴

So much going on and its looking great so far 😀 The shop looks good and cant wait to see more get put on there and eventually splurge a bit.
To the devs picking up what was left, learning the ins and outs of the code, and fixing so many bugs so far (and more in the future) WE ARE SO HAPPY YOU ARE HERE - To Curly and the team you are doing great, it'll be fun to see what happens once more gets sorted out and the game can go back to full swing with feature requests too.
Its so nice having the community become more and more active again.

Congrats to all of the name contest winners and thank you Curly and team for another amazing update <3 I can't wait to shop the merch!
This is so fun! I hope you will be adding a link to the store on the menu sometime soon! If there is one, I cant find it. Dont want players to have to search up this post to spend money 😉
yay!! congrats to the winners!! 💚 i can't wait for the other plushies to get added, i was aiming to eventually collect all 4 either way :p
thank you so much to the devs working on the game now, even if it's little things like image fixes it's all so appreciated!
oh i forgot to ask, do the shirts/mugs with original art also have the HoFa logo anywhere on them? just asking since i couldn't really tell from the pictures, i feel like it would be a perfect balance between original artwork and official site merch if they do!
Congrats to all the winners! I absolutely love the names that were chosen—they fit the plushies perfectly. I’m so excited for them to be added so I can collect every single one!
Congrats to the winners! Thank you for the wonderful updates and the shop info! Those t-shirts both look amazing!
