Mane6 dev team update - New Engine?

A small bit of update from the Mane6 team. Not only does Lauren help them with new characters, there's also a new game engine in sight. It's the Skullgirls Engine.
There's a video after the break that shows some footage, so that you know what it looks like.

So, here's the deal:
Lab Zero Games, the developers of Skullgirls, are currently running an indiegogo campain to raise funds for the production of new DLC characters for the game.
And, though actually not being affiliated to Mane6 in any way, they decided to give them a license to use the engine for free if the campaign yielded at least 725k USD. They already surpassed an impressive 400k USD mark, but the campaign ends in 12 days. So it still needs quite a lot of money...

Spread the word wherever you can!

(Relevant because animals. Also Fluttershy.)

It's not pony-related, but when Lauren Faust speaks, bronies listen. And now she wants our help with the Wildlife Learning Center. WLC is a non-profit group that cares for wild animals and uses them to help teach about conservation. Being non-profit, they rely on donations to keep operating. They're currently running an IndieGogo campaign to help raise the money, with various perks for each donation level. Find the donation page here and Lauren's dA journal here.

Lend a Helping Hoof

A couple of days ago, I met a guy who helped me put away my necessities from the store, with only asking for a small payment of any number in return... He was homeless...

Now, a fellow Brony named ViFFeX has reached a troubled situation, and needs help making sure that he doesn't end up without a home to go to... Any donations you give him will lead to him doing something for you in the future...

Click here or after the break to see the video to find out more about what you can do to help this Brony out...
