Introduction on the Game Keep Case

"Winter.

The slowly falling snow drapes the landscape in a white veil, hides the bareness of the trees that long ago lost their leaves, and gives the land a sense of serenity.

The world is quiet.

Most singing birds have long since migrated to warmer places and animals small and large have gone into hiding, shielding themselves from the cold.

But in the valley, winter doesn’t stop people from going on with their lives. The stables still need to be mucked out, the horses still need to be groomed and fed, and the trails, paddocks and indoor riding rings are filled with happy people, enjoying life in the saddle.

Riders are getting reading for the Decker Horse Show - the most prestigious show jumping competition in the country.

Only a few riders from the finest stables in the country are selected to compete in the finals each year, and this year, Pine Hill Stables has secured a place.

Now they only need to find a champion.

Could that champion be you?"

Character Sheets

The Player's Character Sheet

To access the Character Sheet clicking on the icon with a human upper body on the left side of the icon with a horse head on it will open the sheet. The Character Sheet presents the current player level (highest level being 11), Experience Points (XP), Stable Points (SP), Skill Points, and the player's equipment. For the player to level up, XP needs to be earned through various quests and races by interacting with different NPCs in the world. SP is the currency of the game and can be earned by doing stable chores. In the earlier game Star Stable: The Autumn Rider, SP could be earned by both chores and different quests, whereas in this installation there is only one quest that rewards the player with SP, which is "Sealed Shut" by Jacques in Cape Point Village. New equipment can be bought with SP from the three different stores in the different villages and to change equipment, drag or click the new item on top of the old equipment displayed on the Character Sheet.

The Character Sheet also displays the four different skills that the player can increase with Skill Points. Skill Points are rewarded every time the player levels up. The four skills that the player as are: Jumping, Riding, Command, and Caring. Jumping makes the player better at clearing obstacles and Riding enables the player to push the horse faster and longer, Command increases how quickly the horse change between gaits, and Caring makes the player faster at taking care of the horse. The final amount of Skill Points that can be earned is 240, and one skill can be maxed out with 100. For each level, the rewarded Skill Points are ...

level 2: 40 Skill Points.
level 3 - 6: 30 Skill Points.
level 7 - 9: 20 Skill Points.
level 10 - 11: 10 Skill Points.

All horses in the game has four different attributes, Strength, Endurance, Speed, and Discipline which are found on the Horse Character Sheet together with the equipment and level. The level indicates what level the player needs to be at minimum to be able to purchase the horse. To exchange the equipment, clicking/dragging the new item on top of the old one will replace it.

The four attributes of the horses are static, they cannot increase above the maximum value. However, the orange colored is the potential the horse can reach by doing different races throughout the world and the green symbolizes the current value of the attribute. The attribute Strength determines how high the horse can jump, Endurance determines how long it can run at a certain speed, Speed determines how fast it can run, and Discipline determines how quickly the horse changes gait.
