Mares take over the points shop & Filly Fiasco hotfixes
2026-02-07I just want to say thank you to everyone showing such enthusiasm for The Filly Fiasco and Steam Community Items release. There was a ton of work that went into making this possible, so it's very rewarding to see it's being enjoyed. I am absolutely floored that all 5 of the animated stickers are trending in the top 10 of most popular on the points shop. At one point Mare Nod hit #26 across ALL Steam Points shop items. I wasn't expecting that. TOTAL MARE SWEEP! There have been a few bug reports with The Filly Fiasco I've been working on so you may have seen MareQuest: An Interactive Tail have more than a few updates. Below is just a qrd on some of the things that have been updated: • Significantly increased XP of Strange Fruit • Fixed issue where speaking to island mares may rarely cause a game crash due to missing variable declaration

• Fixed error message when speaking to friends in the Mane Story at certain points • Spelling Error corrections There was also one crash upon launch report that I worked on for hours yesterday. The issue stems from a combination of the user using a TV as a computer monitor, the resolution being 4k, and the way GMS2 handles launching the game into Fullscreen mode (also potentially more likely on Windows 10). A workaround for this crash was the user changing the monitor resolution to 1366 x 768, launching the game, and then changing the resolution back. Now, I would probably be able to solve this by launching the game in Windowed mode, but that comes with its own caveats and issues. I'll be researching this more as accounting for various aspect ratios, resolutions, and devices is definitely not a strong suit of mine. All in all, pleasantly surprised at the amount of bug reports coming in. Huge thanks to the testers who assisted in whittling down all of the issues prior to launch. Your help was greatly appreciated! If anyone has a bug they'd like to report please post it in the #report-a-bug channel on the MareQuest discord server. That's the best way for my visibility. Mares! I love them!
