Hi,

the Early Access I Phase is going well. Only minor reports coming in.

That gave me the time to tackle one unfinished item. I was not happy with the Pony racing simulation, which was too predictable from the start and not dynamic enough.

So I rewrote the entire logic of the racing simulation, giving the ponies different advantages depending on their DEX, SPD and END, so that throughout the race the lead will remain more contested in bends, straight areas and finishing stretch.

Also visually distinguished the champion Pony Tags (Se'Lar, Xenia, Mizara) and gave them special powers (e.g. Se'Lar will never suffer from "tired" in the last leg of the race, Mizara gets an extra speed boost when cheered etc...

Works much better now imho, though I still need a day or two for balancing.

There will be no problem to meet 14th for Early Access II imho.
