We’re excited to share that Daniel Mullins Games will be presenting... something... at Gamescom 2026 . That means you’ll be able to catch a glimpse of what we’ve been working on right alongside some incredible titles from across the industry! We just hope that ours is the only one with pandas, crazy clowns, underworld lords, souls, and the guy from G- ...yeah I am not finishing that. Where to W…
Something stirs... about testing! Hello everyone! Community manager Secundus here once again. We hope April didn’t turn your world too upside down… though we can’t promise things are entirely stable just yet. Either way, we are BACK FOR MORE! May has arrived, and with it comes something a little different. Over the past few weeks, we’ve taken a step we’ve been quietly preparing for quite some t…
The month of madness is here! ¡ǝuoʎɹǝʌǝ ollǝɥ ollǝH Ah, sorry about that! April can turn all of us a little upside down. Community manager Secundus here once again, reporting from a slightly less stable reality than usual. But what is a reality if not a fabric that is waiting to be melted into a green slime to be put in a jar? Ahem , we hope March treated you well! As we step into April, things…
Spring is approaching... and so is Pony Island 2! Hello everyone! Community manager Secundus here again, reporting for another monthly newsletter! We hope February treated you well! While winter still refuses to loosen its icy grip, something else has started to stir behind the scenes. March is that strange time of year when everything begins to wake up again. Snow melts, the days grow longer,…
Love is in the air? Nope, it's more Pony Island 2! Hello everyone! Community manager Secundus here again. We hope you all had a wonderful January. Winter is really doing its best to freeze the team solid, but there’s no need to worry. If there’s one thing that can heat us up, it’s the loving hands, warm hugs, and intense gaze… of brand-new teasers from Pony Island 2 ! What, did you think I was…
Hello everyone! This is community manager Secundus, reporting for duty! If you have been lurking around our Discord or socials, you will probably recognize me! Besides being your friendly neighbourhood "leaker" and Sado fan, I have been working with our team to create exciting stuff for everyone in our community. I also lurk in our games' forums to see what people think about our games and what…
Just some inevitable fixes after the Simplified Chinese localization patch: · Fixed several font display issues · Fix for language option resetting when rebooting the game · Fix for there not being enough room to enter iamerror in a certain password field for Simplified Chinese
The Hex Hanslation Group has done it again! After delivering an expert translation for The Hex earlier this year, they have been hard at work on Pony Island. Once again they have outdone themselves - I think some of details of this localization will be a delight for Chinese speaking players. The team includes: YazawaAkiOS, LemonBomb, evilmoth, Lil_Catt, mushr00m, AlerHughes, and 8012white Once…
This is a game I haven’t stopped thinking about since I first released Pony Island almost 8 years ago. Panda Circus has occupied a little corner in the back of my mind as I developed The Hex and Inscryption. It was exciting to look back on all the ideas I had for the game over those years and finally sit down to start working on it. This is also making good on a promise that the original Pony I…
This one is... even less about ponies. If you like the trailer, you can... wishlist Inscryption here! Thanks once again for playing Pony Island and for your support over the years. Inscryption is sure to scratch many of the same itches that Pony Island did. So keep an eye or two on it.
From the creator of Pony Island and The Hex comes the latest mind melting, self-destructing love letter to video games. Inscryption is a narrative focused, card-based odyssey that blends the deckbuilding roguelike, escape-room style puzzles, and psychological horror into a blood-laced smoothie. Darker still are the secrets inscrybed upon the cards.. More here! Coming in 2021...
I started working on my follow up to Pony Island, called The Hex, shortly after Pony Island's release in 2016. It's been a long and intense period of creation, but the game is finally complete! The inciting incident in The Hex is a phone call that the bartender at an old inn receives. Because of a raging storm the connection is shaky; he can hear that there is a murder plot, but not who is plan…
This has been the most requested language since the game came out. I have received many emails from people looking to translate the game into Russian but none were willing to tackle the task of adding the Cyrillic alphabet to all 5 of the game's fonts... that is until Farhad took it on. Many thanks to Farhad Alyshev (@FarhAlishev25) for making this localization possible.
Another thank you to all who played Pony Island. The success of this game has been allowing me to devote most of my time to a new project, a game called The Hex. I recently put out a trailer for it. And here it is: Also at: If you want to stay up to date on its development, you can follow me on twitter @DMullinsGames Thanks again!
Thanks to all you multilingual people who helped debug the localization beta. I am happy to say the patch with all these new languages is now live for all to enjoy. Thanks to the amazing localization team that made this possible! @EnzoPiou - French Localization FenixTM - Italian Localization @77pali - German Localization Luis Redin (Fusti) - Spanish Localization Kenneth Mohr - Danish Localizati…
Do you speak another language and want to play Pony Island with it? Well speak of the devil! There is a beta available now for 7 new languages. Your help finding bugs would be appreciated greatly. Check out this thread for more details! Cheers! :lucif4r:
Hey guys, just another little patch here: · Allow re-mappable keys for the 'Jump' and 'Laser' actions. The default is Spacebar for 'Laser' and Right Alt for 'Jump' · Do not allow player to actually clear their save data if they select 'Clear Save Data' after clicking on the 'PonyIsland.META' shortcut in the Recycling Bin.
If you find all 24 tickets in your first run you will not be taken to the 'final ending' until you actually complete the game. · Fixed Uber-satan death animation · Fixed audio from game sometimes continuing to play into the main menu · Numeric button remapping now properly tells you to use 'Option' to open the dialog on OSX · If you're a smarty-pants and enter Hopeless Soul's password into his…
Hey Pony Island players, here's the next update: · To fix an issue where players with non-QWERTY keyboards could not enter numbers 1-9, I have added the ability to remap these keys. If you hold shift while launching the game, a launcher will appear to change these settings. · The original soundtrack .mp3 files now have proper metadata with the artist's (Jonah Senzel's) name and a nice looking a…
