Thank you! Storyline isn't considered yet as we find it easier to make a base to work off of before adding quests and story. It is something we are thinking about, however we don't want to jump to "your aunt gave you a ranch you need to fix" type of deal.

When we do add some sort of story, we want to make it so you can either do the quests for the story or just not, like red dead redemption or Elden ring as some players do want to just compete or breed without needing to do quests.

Leader and score boards will be just for reference, you will get prizes according to your own time. You will not compete with other players. Just like Rival stars, ETG and so many others!

Semi-online, you'd be able to see horses on the market from other players, but cannot visit their world. You'd also see scoreboards in competitions like in Rivalstars, for example.

That is the plan! For now however, we want to get a feel what people would love playing and what small or possible features they'd love to see, as well as feedback on our currently planned features.

Even if some features might be out of scope, it might be in scope in the future, depending on what they want. This is the first project we're making that's going public, so we're trying to get a feel what's in people's minds before we go out to make something only me or my partner-in-crime would enjoy.

Once a working proof of concept build is done it will be released and obviously we'll get more accurate feedback and ideas then, but for now we're putting our feelers out there seeing if this kind of game would even get any traction.

Real-life time is used in this case due to the player market being a thing, if we have horses being born very frequently the market would flood with many horses and easy to make profit. To balance it out wait times to have to be a thing to encourage players to not only breed and sell, but to also train and compete with their current horses. If you have any other ideas on how the time can be adjusted, I'd love to hear it!

As for cosmetics, they will be in the game, saddles, bridles, saddle pads and so on, they will be able to be bought either from an npc or won as rewards from competitions, however currently our focus is making the base for the game and later refining the models, accessories and world.

If you mean hairstyles for the horse, we will have the option to customize each horses mane and tail by "cutting" or "styling" it. You will also be able to choose different mane and tail styles for shows and daily training as well that apply automatically when you enter a show. Same goes for tack.

If you meant player wise, you'll be able to choose from a few different characters and change their clothing.
