[h3]Get your hobby horses ready and ride into the sunrise! 🌅 [/h3]

If you want to share the hype and talk about the game during the demo make sure to WISHLIST the game on steam and join our official discord community. 💬

[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]
