Here’s The News! (02/09/2014)

Hey everyone, ready for some news and updates? No? Too bad.  Tired of pictures? Fine. How about a video for a change! There is a new trailer for Starswirl Academy, by Zap Apple Project.  A visual novel about students and their life at the prestigious Starswirl Academy.  Will they be able to find friendship and make it through the first year?

It was reissued after the team got a notice from Hasbro to change the names and other aspects of their project due to use of Hasbro’s My Little Pony property.  The trailer shows the new names, is voiced, and even has a short animated scene.  The demo was reissued as well and is also available for Windows, Android, Linux, and Mac.
