shikyokage742 asks: I know that you're suppose to be a brown Earth pony, but I was wondering if it has to be the brown Earth pony or will you be able to choose what you want the pony to look like (i.e. mane colour, skin tone.) Will there be a cutie mark? And will you have to be an Earth pony or can you choose breed? Goodluck with the game!
It is not possible to have the player be customizeable since we would then have to draw a separate version of every picture from every scene it's visible for every possible version.

Rumtin asks: I was just wondering what programming language you are all using to make this masterpiece.
We are using the Ren'Py engine which is built on Python.

Lost asks: I didn't want to ask any questions, because I figured it would distract you from your very hard word. However this one had been eating me alive for some time, so for the sake of my half digested body I'll ask. How will the game be played? Will you have to play it on the website like a Facebook game, or will there be a download to it and play it from an application? If downloaded will it still require an internet connection? I didn't see any information about this and if their was I apologies for I can be as blind as a bat sometimes. Thank you, the Lost
The game will be a normal executable. Just download and run the exe.

This one is from Bassanly."When you say the game will be moddable, how moddable are we talking? As in including different sections and such? Or simple stuff like dialogue swap?"
It will be 100% moddable, in every way, shape, and form.-Jeff
Please let ME handle all the technical questions, Jeff. It's not really 100% moddable. It will all be completely uncompressed and open source, yes, but you'll still have the limitations of the Ren'Py engine.

Okay, so this question was submitted by Robby the Rogue.
"I want to know if it would be possible for your actions to influence the relationships of other characters? Like not only trying to get the girl you want but also help another pony with their love life(multiple path routes) such as pairing Rainbow Dash with Big Macintosh while you try to get the Fluttershy ending. I know this would be more work but I just wanted to hear your opinion."
Well, its possible.
According to Emil, Ren'Py, the engine we are using, has full Python functionality, which means this is possible, and easy to make.
BUT, this would put strain on the writers and artists, for the following reason.
To create all the possibilities, we would have to write 10^2/2 possible storylines.
So, in the end, your answer is possible, but a lot of work.
