Welcome to SPONY! Before we begin, you need to select a game mode. Please choose from the following options:
A: Should this game use pre-created creatures (i.e., canon characters), or would you prefer to create creatures yourself?
B: What stage of the game do you wish to start at? Your options are:
* Creature Stage: Start at the (almost) very beginning. Primitive pony-like creatures evolve and adapt to their environment. Gameplay focuses on survival and evolution. (Note: if this option is selected in conjunction with pre-made characters, canon personalities will be used, but not necessarily canon physical characteristics.)
* Tribal Stage: Ponies are dropped on an alien world. They must adapt to their new environment. Gameplay focuses on survival and exploration.
* Space Stage, alpha mode: Ponies discover an alien artifact and use it to develop space travel. When they venture into space, they find their 'patron' waiting for them. Gameplay focuses on adventure.
* Space Stage, beta mode: Ponies independently develop space travel. Play is otherwise as in alpha mode, except that ponies have no patron, for better or worse.
C: What difficulty level do you wish to play on? Examples are given for ponies in a Creature Stage game encountering a hostile epic creature:
* Easy: failure is common, but consequences are few. The hostile creature eats a couple of the ponies, but they just respawn at the nest. The tone is roughly consistent with the show's silliest episodes.
* Normal: failure is uncommon, but consequences are greater. The hostile creature injures some of the ponies, but intelligent play avoids death. However, if any ponies do die, they're gone for good. The tone is roughly consistent with the show's most adventurous episodes.
* Hard: failure is common, and consequences are great. The hostile creature eats at least one pony unless the ponies are very careful. The only difficulty in which a 'game over' is possible. If you like your pony adventure grim, this is the difficulty for you.
D: Do you wish to include non-pony canon races? (Note: Spore creations are present in all options.)
* No. The fun is in having ponies encounter weird Spore things.
* As opponents. The changelings/griffons/buffalo have their own nests/tribes/space programs that ponies have to contend with.
* As allies. NPCs compose a small minority of the group of characters. At least one will be available for play.
E: What viewpoint would you like? In first-person mode, you will control a single character; in third-person mode, you will control a group.

It depends on the stage you choose. For Creature Stage, no non-pony species can be both an ally and an opponent, but I'd support folks picking and choosing non-pony species for either side. For the other stages, any non-pony species (and ponies, for that matter!) can appear both as an opponent and an ally if so desired.
