| Pony Island 2 | April 2026 Newsletter | 2026-04-03 | The month of madness is here!¡ǝuoʎɹǝʌǝ ollǝɥ ollǝHAh, sorry about that! April can turn all of us a little upside down.Community manager Secundus here once again, reporting from a slightly less stable reality than usual. But what is a reality if not a fabric that is waiting to be melted into a green slime to be put in a jar? Ahem, we hope March treated you well! As we step into April, things have started to feel... different. Not necessarily wrong, just a little harder to keep track of.Which, now that we think about it, is perfectly on brand.With April Fools just around the corner, we thought it would be the perfect time to embrace a bit of ch |
| Pony Island 2 | March 2026 Newsletter | 2026-03-13 | Spring is approaching... and so is Pony Island 2!Hello everyone!Community manager Secundus here again, reporting for another monthly newsletter! We hope February treated you well! While winter still refuses to loosen its icy grip, something else has started to stir behind the scenes. March is that strange time of year when everything begins to wake up again. Snow melts, the days grow longer, and somewhere deep within the Earth Prison... certain systems appear to be coming back online.Coincidence? Probably. But we thought it might be a good time to show you a few more things we've been quietly working on.Without further ado, let's take another |
| Pony Island 2 | February 2026 Newsletter | 2026-02-14 | Love is in the air? Nope, it's more Pony Island 2!Hello everyone! Community manager Secundus here again. We hope you all had a wonderful January. Winter is really doing its best to freeze the team solid, but there’s no need to worry. If there’s one thing that can heat us up, it’s the loving hands, warm hugs, and intense gaze… of brand-new teasers from Pony Island 2!What, did you think I was going to say something else? Lucifer certainly wouldn’t agree…Speaking of Lucifer, this month's lovely cover art, which showcases Louey's unfortunate attempts to make a certain someone feel the "love" in the air, was drawn by one of the wonderful artists w |
| Pony Island 2 | January 2026 Update | 2026-01-16 | Hello everyone!This is community manager Secundus, reporting for duty! If you have been lurking around our Discord or socials, you will probably recognize me! Besides being your friendly neighbourhood "leaker" and Sado fan, I have been working with our team to create exciting stuff for everyone in our community. I also lurk in our games' forums to see what people think about our games and what they would like to see. One of the most requested things was more updates on Steam! So...We are super excited to share the first update of Pony Island 2 and 2026! Did everyone have a great farewell to 2025? Even if the year is over, the work on our upco |
| Localization Fixes (V1.24) | 2024-07-20 | Just some inevitable fixes after the Simplified Chinese localization patch: Fixed several font display issues Fix for language option resetting when rebooting the game Fix for there not being enough room to enter iamerror in a certain password field for Simplified Chinese |
| Simplified Chinese Update! | 2024-07-15 | The Hex Hanslation Group has done it again! After delivering an expert translation for The Hex earlier this year, they have been hard at work on Pony Island. Once again they have outdone themselves - I think some of details of this localization will be a delight for Chinese speaking players. The team includes: YazawaAkiOS, LemonBomb, evilmoth, Lil_Catt, mushr00m, AlerHughes, and 8012white Once again Yazawa Akio has graced us with the beautiful cover art for the patch: https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/10418521/4530c0ae8835c2410383df37d9fe7c6c6c871430.png Unexpectedly, Yazawa Akio went further this time and even created a Pony Island |
| 64-Bit Mac OS Now Supported | 2024-01-24 | Sorry it took so long! Also, wishlist Panda Circus :) |
| Pony Island 2… it’s happening | 2023-12-08 | This is a game I haven’t stopped thinking about since I first released Pony Island almost 8 years ago. Panda Circus has occupied a little corner in the back of my mind as I developed The Hex and Inscryption. It was exciting to look back on all the ideas I had for the game over those years and finally sit down to start working on it. This is also making good on a promise that the original Pony Island ARG made. It wasn’t a joke. If you want to be notified when the game comes out you can wishlist it here on Steam or join the mailing list. Thanks for sticking with me all these years! I can’t wait for you to play it. - Daniel |
| INSCRYPTION | 2021-10-19 | INSCRYPTION. IS. HERE. Thanks for playing Pony Island and I hope you like this one too! ːstimulationː (Cover art by CarpetCrawler) |
| Inscryption Is Coming | 2021-09-24 | The demo is here. Oh yeah, The Hex and Pony Island are on sale too! |
| Inscryption - Trailer Out Now! | 2020-08-11 | This one is... even less about ponies. If you like the trailer, you can... wishlist Inscryption here! Thanks once again for playing Pony Island and for your support over the years. Inscryption is sure to scratch many of the same itches that Pony Island did. So keep an eye or two on it. |
| Daniel Mullins Games presents: Inscryption | 2020-02-08 | https://i.imgur.com/VUaes6L.png From the creator of Pony Island and The Hex comes the latest mind melting, self-destructing love letter to video games. Inscryption is a narrative focused, card-based odyssey that blends the deckbuilding roguelike, escape-room style puzzles, and psychological horror into a blood-laced smoothie. Darker still are the secrets inscrybed upon the cards.. More here! Coming in 2021... https://i.imgur.com/1MbO1r2.png https://i.imgur.com/w9nvemi.png https://i.imgur.com/XlSnHT4.png |
| My next game, The Hex, is out! | 2018-10-16 | I started working on my follow up to Pony Island, called The Hex, shortly after Pony Island's release in 2016. It's been a long and intense period of creation, but the game is finally complete! https://static.wixstatic.com/media/a69bb9_f043795061db47f180413976bc23dbcf~mv2.png/v1/fill/w_907,h_265,al_c/a69bb9_f043795061db47f180413976bc23dbcf~mv2.png The inciting incident in The Hex is a phone call that the bartender at an old inn receives. Because of a raging storm the connection is shaky; he can hear that there is a murder plot, but not who is planning it. The only possible suspects are the six patrons of the inn, each of them a videogame prot |
| Hotfix for localization bug (v1.22) | 2016-09-12 | Just a fix for a bug that was reported for the Danish localization. The passwords.txt file in the corrupted OS screen was blank. |

| Russian localization is in!! (v1.21) | 2016-09-12 | This has been the most requested language since the game came out. I have received many emails from people looking to translate the game into Russian but none were willing to tackle the task of adding the Cyrillic alphabet to all 5 of the game's fonts... that is until Farhad took it on. Many thanks to Farhad Alyshev (@FarhAlishev25) for making this localization possible. |
