Hobby Horse News

[h3]It’s finally happening — Hobby Horse is opening up playtest sign-ups and you’re officially invited. 🎟️[/h3]

If you’re into races, horses, flexing your skills or just wanna try something absolutely fresh — this is your shot. Sigma energy only 🧢.

We’re dropping you into three crazy maps — each one with its own vibe, obstacles and hidden traps ready to catch you slippin’.


[h3]First up, we’ve got the Forest. 🌳[/h3]

It’s lush, green and full of those misty, overgrown paths that look peaceful — until you realize you’re dodging hurdles, benches, cones and old tires left and right. 🌲

Move fast, jump clean, and don’t sleep on the boosts — without them, you’re gonna feel the weight of every mistake.


[h3]Next, the Gym. 🏋️[/h3]

Classic polished floors, bright lights, stacks of benches and that old-school gym smell you somehow still remember. 🏫

Pacing here gets brutal — obstacles come at you fast, tight turns everywhere, and if you miss a jump? GG bro, your time’s cooked. Power-ups scattered across the hall can seriously save your run — skip them and you're playing yourself.


[h3]And then... there’s the Gnome Village. 🏚️[/h3]

Imagine giant glowing mushrooms, little houses, and winding fantasy roads under a purple sky. 🍄✨Sounds chill, right?

Except now you’re also dodging thorn patches ready to rip your momentum apart. Plus the usual hurdles, cones, tires, benches — only now it’s all mixed into a magic fever dream where one wrong move means long minutes added as a penalty to your final time..



No matter which map you're running, you’ll NEED the upgrades to make those clutch saves, boost your jumps and help you elevate your times to the next level.
It’s simple:
Skip the power-ups? Mid runs. ☹️
Grab the power-ups? Sigma flexes and leaderboard domination. 🏆💪

[h2]🎮 JOIN THE PLAYTEST[/h2]
This is your chance to be part of the first wave. Race through the Forest, the Gym, and the Gnome Village. Master every jump, break every record and most importantly shape the game with your feedback. 💬

Spots are limited, so get in now before you're just watching others pull off those perfect runs.
Sign up, jump in, and let’s make Hobby Horse history together. 🖤

See you
Hobby Horse Team

In this devlog, we’re diving deep into your in-game room where all the magic happens aka Command Center. If you remember from our last devlog, we showed you a quick blockout of this space, but now it’s time for the real deal. 😎

First off, this room is lit. It’s where you’ll spend a good chunk of your time, because not only is it your base of operations, but it’s also got some serious interactive elements. You can tweak, buy, and customize your horses like you’re on a shopping spree, but with way cooler stuff.




[h2]Here’s the rundown:[/h2]
[h3]1. Customization Galore 💅 [/h3]
This is where you get to flex your style. Whether you're out here giving your horse a new look or upgrading your gear, the Command Center is the place to be. You can change everything, from your horse’s mane to its “saddle” (yeah, we’re THAT extra). And trust, the skins? Next level. We're talking full-on vibes to make your horse stand out in every race. We’ll tell you more about it in the upcoming devlog!

[h3]2. The Shop & Upgrades 💸[/h3]
You can also shop for upgraded gear that boosts your stats via your room. Want to go faster? Grab a slick new stick with some insane stats. Need some extra flair? Pick up a skin that’ll make your horse the talk of the town. 💥

[h3]3. Your Horse “Stable” 🏇 [/h3]
You didn’t think we’d leave you with just one horse, right? Nope, in the Command Center, you can have multiple presets in your “stable.” That’s right—preset horses you can quickly swap between, depending on the vibes you’re going for or the race you’re about to dominate. It's like customizing your dream team, but for horses. ⚡


[h3]4. Easter Eggs & Interactive Surprises 👀 [/h3]
Oh, and we’ve sprinkled in some Easter eggs. 🐣 Keep your eyes peeled, because there’s a whole lot of hidden stuff waiting to be discovered. Interactive elements are all over the place, so you can mess around with things and find some fun secrets when you least expect it.

[h3]In short, the Command Center isn’t just a place to chill—it’s where the grind happens. Whether you’re upgrading your horse, flexing your style, or just vibing with the interactive elements, there’s always something to do. Get ready for some serious customization and a whole lot of surprises coming your way and if you enjoyed this devlog, don't forget to add the game to your wishlist! 🙌[/h3]

[h3]Thank you all for staying with us for another year! We wish you all 🎄 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎆🎇

Yours sincerely
Hobby Horse Team

Welcome to the very first devlog for our game, Hobby Horse! 🎉 We’re super hyped to share what we’ve been working on and get you pumped for the world of hobby horsing-worthy tracks, cool customizations, and a ton of galloping fun. Before we get into it please keep in mind that this is a very early stage of development and many of the things we’re showing you may look different. Without further ado, saddle up and let’s dive in!

[h3]Tracks That Slap 🏁[/h3]
One of our biggest goals right now is making sure the tracks are a total blast to gallop through. We’re crafting routes that aren’t just pretty but also mad fun. You’ll zip through booster zones for an extra kick of speed (👀 sneak peek: there are 2 types of boosters in the trailer already!) and dodge or outsmart obstacles that’ll keep you on your toes. Of course, we’ll share more about these spicy elements in a future devlog. For now, just know: it’s gonna be lit. 💨🔥


[h3]Your Own Cozy Hub 🏠🐴[/h3]
Here’s where it gets personal: every player will have their own HUB room! This is your space to:
Customize your horse’s drip (gear, colors, maybe even swaggy accessories 👀 – stay tuned for future updates!)
Pick your steed from your stable (yes, the stable is real and chillin’ on the right side of the HUB screen).
Hop into the action by heading straight out the door.

Think of it as your personal horse hangout spot, where creativity meets gameplay. 🎨


[h3]Meet Bezi the Hamster! 🐹[/h3]
Every great game needs a mascot, and ours is none other than Bezi the hamster! Bezi’s got the vibes and the brains. He’ll guide you through tutorials, drop tips on popups, and generally keep the energy high as you learn the ropes. Basically, Bezi = your BFF. ❤️

[h3]Tracks Full of Tricks and Challenges 🏆[/h3]
While you’re patataj-ing through the courses, you’ll come across all kinds of obstacles. Jump over, dodge around, or nail the perfect timing to score max points. Your skill level will directly decide how many points you rack up for clearing each challenge. It’s not just about speed – it’s about style. 🕶️


[h3]What Do YOU Think? 👇[/h3]
Now, this is where we need your input! Drop your thoughts in the comments:
What features or looks do you absolutely need to make your dream horse?
What’s a must-have in any racing game for you?

We’re building this experience for y’all, so your feedback means everything to us. 💬
That’s it for today’s devlog! Thanks for sticking around, and don’t forget to follow us for more updates. There’s a ton of cool stuff coming – like more on customizations, boosters, and of course, Bezi being an absolute legend.
