2013 05 17 - All cards in Ponylude v0.3 uploaded (167/250), separated "Other" card gallery into "Colorless", "Lands", and (eventually) "Multicolored". Changed Smart Cookie to a Llanowar Behemoth variant instead of a Wyluli Wolf variant. Also added a Comments thingamajig to the homepage.
2013 05 19 - Moved Comments to their own page and added links to the bottom of each of the others.
2013 05 27 - Switched hexproof to flash on Twilight Sparkle so that redundant copies would be more beneficial. Gave Pipsqueak a second point of toughness.
2013 06 10 - Added a separate page for multicolored cards and uploaded Zecora to it. Also added the eight black rares.
2013 06 19 - Added the eight red rares and the two red mythic rares. Red is now completely uploaded! W00t!

2013 07 07 - Added the eight white rares and the two white mythic rares. White is now completely uploaded! W00t!
2013 07 09 - Added the eight blue rares and the two white mythic rares. Blue is now completely uploaded! W00t!
2013 07 10 - Made slight adjustments to Ahuizotl, Ahuizotl's Command, and Luna's Command to allow for clearer (read: correct) functionality. Changed Doctor Whooves' regenerate to Gaseous Form. Nerfed the Apple family en masse for hopefully the last time, but compensated by making Granny Smith a HateBear. Changed Ursa Major's wording to that of Dark Supplicant to ensure that casting it gets you as many babies as possible. Changed Cerberus' mana cost from 3B to BBB for more elegance. Knocked a power off of Photo Finish so that it's only somewhat obviously a first pick rather than blaringly so. Made Arachnimate's spider tokens mono-black instead of black/green. Changed Lyra Heartstrings' picture to the screenshot everyone expects it to be.
2013 07 14 - Uploaded basically everything except Celestia and Luna, who are being bitches to design in a way that'll please everybody. 248/250.
2013 07 15 - Luna and Celestia are up, thus completing the set. Ponylude v0.4 completed July 15th, 2013. Submitted to Equestria Daily.
Post-'Launch':
2013 07 15 - Posted by Equestria Daily. (Thanks a bunch guys!) Posted Ponylude v0.4 MSE file to Downloads page and edited the description there. Added five entries to FAQs. Fixed small problem with Comments gadget.
2013 07 16 - Corrected templating errors on To The Moon!, Future Twilight, Discord, Tactical Rainboom, and Marzipan Mascarpone Meringue Madness. Updated Princess Cadance to use the M14 indestructible rules. Made it clearer what type of mana Zap Apple Harvest makes your lands tap for. Hit Spike Unleashed with a giant nerfbat until he stopped twitching.
2013 07 17 - Updated Rainbow Dash to reflect proper design intention, and to prevent infinite Wing Power triggers. Uploaded the correct rendering of Rarity; the one posted was the pre-nerf b0rk3d version.
2013 07 19 - Updated the MSE file to the most recent version. 10 cards changed since last upload.
2013 07 29 - Updated Chancellor Puddinghead, Commander Hurricane, and Princess Platinum to a better template.
2013 07 31 - Updated Tank to use M14 indestructible rules. Reverted Big McIntosh to a 4/3 now that apple counters have been nerfed. Changed Shadowbolt Squadron to only die when targeted by an opponent. Changed the layout of Everfree Ghostie's flavor text to be less dumb. Updated MSE file to the most recent version; 7 cards changed since last upload.
2013 08 06 - Changed Rainbow Dash's picture so that she looks more badass and less stoned.
2013 08 29 - In light of recent testing and general dissatisfaction with Red in draft, changed five red common noncreature spells mostly for the better. Replaced Unbridled Rage with Culling the Herd. Cheerilee and Trixie swapped P/T...again. Changed Nightmare Moon's flip trigger to "...less than or equal to..." as opposed to simply "less than".
2013 09 07 - Added Limited Pointing article to the Design Considerations section.
2013 09 10 - Added values for limited pointing for all 101 common cards.
2013 09 24 - Changed Ahuizotl's War-Pride to be a little bit more fair (read: not broken beyond all reason). Gave Rampaging Rabbits -1/-1 and trample as compensation. Updated the MSE file and the Downloads page 'cause it had been a while since I'd done it. Updated the Limited Pointing values to reflect the latest batch of testing. Changed Time to Feed's name to Feeding Frenzy, as WotC printed a card called Time to Feed in Theros. Re-updated the MSE file.
2014 02 02 - Cheerilee is a 1/3 yet again; I don't think she'll change again. Trixie is completely different and has swapped rarities with Steven Magnet, giving blue a big creature at common and making Trixie less garbage. Changed Future Twilight's wording yet again, hopefully for the last time. Remade Buccaneer Blaze to be completely different (read: not shit). Nerfed Applebloom slightly by reducing her final bushido level. After extensive playtesting, considering reverting Twilight Sparkle to her Magus of the Future form and halving Applejack's power, but those changes have not yet taken effect.
2014 03 06 - Downloaded updated double-faced planeswalker template for Nightmare Moon//Princess Luna. Went ahead with aforementioned change to Twilight Sparkle; the resulting card should be significantly more playable in non-Twilight-themed decks while still maintaining good build-around-me functionality. Re-uploaded the MSE file to reflect these and other changes.
2014 06 08 - Unofficially announced Coltsnap by uploading three preview cards to the front page. Stay tuned for more information.
2014 06 19 - Coltsnap officially announced. More preview cards will follow in the coming days, and the set's website will be made public once the first wave of playtesting is completed.
2015 01 01 - Uploaded the v0.6 version of the MSE file (which is essentially equivalent to the v1.0 MSE file but without wonky formatting). Coltsnap is roughly 65% complete.
2015 06 10 - Wow, it's been a long time since I posted any progress on this. Sorry everyone; work and life have been very busy the past six months. Anyway, a pretty good round of changes should be posted soon, and the Coltsnap website should be going "live" very soon as well. Thanks for waiting!
2018 08 24 - Updated the homepage to reflect that development of Ponylude has more or less ceased for the time being (it has been three years since I even visited the site, lol) but I reserve the right to make changes and updates periodically as I see fit.
2019 10 03 - Updated the site to Google Sites' new layout; I personally like the look and feel of the new layout. Timing of this update coincides with the announcement of the official MLP/MTG crossover promotional cards. It's been six long years, but we're finally getting real Pony Magic cards! Whoo-hoo!
