It’s such a funny throwback having seen it back when it was happening, but I had no idea how detailed it was and how it intertwined with the old alicia so thank you for all of that research and information. I just remember people showing off pictures of their foals on FB, and at the time I didn’t really understand the concept and had no money so thankfully I didn’t buy any fake foals 😂

I remember that Riding High livestream, the bunny mask thing is true, was honestly one of the most bizarre livestreams I have watched even to this day. I heard about Riding High via the Howrse community, a lot of us where really excited, so when we heard about the livestream we went to watch it, and after watching it I remember thinking it all seemed so unprofessional and the wearing of the masks by those on the stream, did make it seem like something was up, like they didn't want their identity known, which considering how everything ended, not a surprise at all. I knew some Howrse players back then had bought foals and donated etc to it, so they managed to hook into that community too, thankfully I never did. When the studio page came up, and things progressed it became clearer and clearer it was a scam and those who invested from the Howrse community where not getting their money back, they would post promising to reveal new things soon every time people clapped back at them, then the post would come and it would be another concept art or render from the tutorial you mentioned. I continued to follow it, checking in every few months to see what new "promise/excuses" they had on the page, they kept it going for a very long time. I can say it was the game that made me skeptical of every game (horse games especially) promising the world there after, and for that reason even though we have all these new awesome projects showing up, I keep that skepticism very close. Years later anytime I saw a new horse project I actually use to check to see if any of the same people from Riding High were involved, encase it was another scam, so yeah your 100% correct, if it its too good to be true, then it very likely isn't genuine. I will always remember Riding High, and for all the wrong reasons....

Ah yeah, I remember this so called 'game', it was exactly like you said, I and a couple of my friends were devastated that Alicia was closing down, and at least I was soooo hyped when I saw Riding High and I just couldn't wait, I counted how many likes there were until they will finally launch the game, as they promised One of my friends actually said it's probably a scam, cuz it sounded too good to be true, but I didn't want to believe, I just wanted some other game to fill the void after losing Alicia, I remember how happy I was when I finally could play Alicia, after 3 days of installing, making account and preparing everything, it wasn't easy these days, I genuinely cried when I had my first race and I know some ppl also have these feelings for Alicia, even if they stopped playing now After waiting and waiting for any info about launching Riding High, I gradually stopped visiting their site, I understood they really are a scammers, and I felt more and more sad, without Alicia, without Riding High to play, I remember trying various horse games, like secret of the magic crystals, SSO which kept me for a while, but it wasn't the same feeling, etc. I just had a blank space in myself which I tried to fill in, but couldn't until Alicia returned in December 2014 I stopped playing long time ago, but Alicia still will be my favorite game, and Riding High be one of my bigger memories connected with it Thanks for this video, it's important to spread awareness about thinking who you should support in making games, and who isn't worth trusting

I remember this fake game well very early on the most noticeable thing was they promised everything that pepole commented they wanted no matter how big or small. Yet for a very long time all we had was pretty pictures and nothing that looked like a 3d horse game in the works. It was all very suspicious and I was sceptical early on. In a way it was a good lesson for the horse gaming community.

Good video💗I remember this game circulating after Alicia Online shut down when I was in middle school. I only kept an eye on it cause even now I know I can’t really help in terms of money for crowdfunding and also just in general I rather see the product first but when I saw the videos of their “animation video” I thought it was a model showcase cause I only been checking on it every now and then until I saw the comment section of people roasting and exposing it. Sadly it would’ve been a brilliant game if it was in the right hands with a company that would actually do it but even then it was a scam and thankfully Alicia Online was revived like a phoenix by another group instead of falling money wise for riding high but yeah. Hopefully one day there’s a game like that in the future but not in the form of a scam

However as I have no expierience, all I can do is get the expierience in a team, get my name out there and slowly build my game plans and have them ready for when I can finally publicly show the game. What I learned from all these scams is to never ask for funding on a game that doesn't exist yet, have something to show first, let people play it and then gain funds.

As it was I always wondered what was taking so long I mean yeah a big MMO like Star Stable or Alicia Online (love the scenes from that by the way, I know all those tracks) take time to develop and beta test etc etc. But Riding High was taking so long and now thanks to your video I know why like 3 or 4 people that barely knew what they were doing. No wonder Riding High never took off, am glad I didn't donate any money to it either. Such a shame Riding High looked like it had so much potential. A great looking horse MMO that sadly never was. Thank the horses we have Star Stable and Alicia Online too.

A game like they were promising would need a high end gaming PC to run. And no small Indie studio can make a Triple A MMORPG as their first game. They just can’t. MMORPGS are the most difficult and expensive games to create, we’re taking millions not children’s pocket money you stole off them. This ‘game’ had so many red flags.

Their excuse for being an indie is not very believable. Indies may actually have much more time than bigger companies to be with their community and showcase what they got thus far. MMORPGs are indeed very time consuming and costly projects, however there is still plenty of time to show what you got. If you assure your audience that there is work by using legitimate images and videos, they will care to wait patiently. It isn't a surprise they get called out for being fake when they make a lot of excuses and no proof of their work

The sad thing is, those promises could very well be made -- BUT what's not realistic is promising those features outright and straight after release, at that. And the difference between RH and Astride is that RH wasn't showing progress, made too many empty promises, and the "devs" seemed to not communicate well. Astride actually has grounds to back-up their claims, they don't outright promise seemingly impossible things, but they listen and add suggestions to the list WITHOUT promising it. Sure, they don't give an ETA, but WolfQuest: AE and Palia don't give ETAs either and they're legit, despite being small teams. They're all also very transparent with the behind-the-scenes work and post updates regularly! Just a comparison for those who may be skeptical of Astride after RH's fiasco

I remember following this back in the day as it all went down,im sad I was never able to play Alicia online it looked quite fun though it looks like Wild Shade is following in its foot steps. I wanted to say also that i have been having loads of fun playing Wild Horse Island on roblox its still early in dev but there making awesome progress I made a account JUST to play it.

All the stuff they promised didnt dound to too good to be true, but too BIG to be true. Like, thats LOTS of stuff. what high tech computer would have been the minimal requirement to play this in the end? I find the reason why games usually concentrate their efforts to one discipline and maybe offer some more or less related stuff is quite obvious. It takes a lot of time and effort to make this as good ss possible and the more the team has to work on at the same time the slower the overall process will be. And also all that stuff requires in-depht knowledge that most people would even expect. For example id love a game about carriage driving (i only played one ever where that was a plotpoint once) with dressage drving contests and obstacle courses and anything but as soon as i start to think about all the stuff necessary to make it believable and good i go bury my hope bc its so much - not really worth the effort since it seems to be more like a special niche anyway, unlike eventing, horseracing, showjumping, dressage, western riding or trail riding in general.

honestly, the biggest giveaway of this being fake is how little they know about game development. the fuck are you making characters and horse models for when you don't even have so much as a test map with some basic functionality??

Only the second one! It's from Shadow of the colossus. The first one is just an animation demo for a horse, and the other is a 'how to' animate a horse. Sorry! I'd actually love the play the third one XD

Well im glad i didn't hear anything about this horse Game bc i would be so naive.. Just the fact there still doing the Lies after get exposed from Alicia online.. well I'm a Person who install a game that didn't cost bevore playing just bc i want a demo.. so to compare with sso, you can play for free up to lvl 5 to get an idea. But if this information comes like: paid in advance... ehhh no Just one question could you make a video about Fe.ral from Wildworks because they have completely closed the game but start with cinder..and this Cinder sounds really weird to me because you have to create and buy the characters before the release
