episode 4 released · 5:09am Aug 17th, 2022
The date on it is like that because I wanted it to be published on the 15th. I'm sorry for doing that, its my damn compulsions and depression again. I hope you forgive me for that. Even then I failed to upload it on the 16th as well. Fortunately got it done though, despite the things I have issues with.
After a lot of various concepts as to how our hero and villain meet, I finally settled with one. I think this episode was a thrill, and especially the chase. Some people were worried that Dash would get kidnapped, which I started to freak out over since that's not what the villain does to it's victims, but I was able to turn it around by having the beast be more interested in Neocros than Rainbow, and only uses her as bait for him.
Admittedly I wished I introduced the villain all the way back in episode 1, but at the same time, there wouldn't be a huge buildup to the villain's reveal. Also, I'm retconning Molgovon as the first enemy Neocros faced, as I feel Molgovon is more of a side villain and doesn't deserve admiration. Plus, it isn't a huge event, and Earth Pony's remake will have a slightly different ending anyway.
