With our first pre-alpha on bluecometgames.itch.io/magical-show..., we'll be taking in feedback for improvement as well as working on content; levels and characters are of course paramount even as we work through and evolving gameplay elements based on feedback. #gamedev #indiegame #unity

An important part of games like ours- having different types of offensive, defensive, and special techniques- is good onboarding. Leaning how to play is vital, but at the same time, we want them to be able to jump in and have fun! So we're making a fun tutorial for that. #gamedev #indiedev

Testing how the in-game UI for #MagicalShowdown works in action. Take advantage of the time between target spawns to rack up a few extra points, if you can! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #anime #magicalgirl

Testing out some UI for the game! whenever a monster's shown up, killed, or you've scored, you and eeeeeveryone else will know. Move quickly so your rivals don't get to your target first! #gamedev #indiegame #magicalshowdown #indiedev

Hey, all. Magical Showdown was just at a @seattleindies.bsky.social event tonight! It was a blast! We'll be around Stoup Brewing in Capital Hill tomorrow evening as well if anyone wants to stop by and playtest our latest build. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Once you've decided your teams in #MagicalShowdown, you'll have a moment to prepare yourself- and learn who you're going up against! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame #unity3d #gamedev

Hey #PitchYaGame! Say hello to Magical Showdown! You like magical girls? You like hunting big monsters? This is a team brawler where you gather together to prove you're the best when it comes to bad guy beatings! Wishlist now! store.steampowered.com/app/3995980/... #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

Hello! #ScreenshotSaturday is here; this time testing our Takedown mode, where you have to fight target monsters and take their cores back to your base. They're (magically) dense, though, so they'll slow you. Rely on your teammates to win! #indiedev #indiegames #gamdev #MagicalShowdown

Sometimes development days are quieter than others. We're testing a few ways to speed up production...and fixing a few issues regarding the terrain. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #MagicalShowdown

For today, testing some lighting and fire effects to improve the mood- especially in enclosed situations! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #magicalshowdown #unity #anime store.steampowered.com/app/3995980/...

A bit more of the vampiress, Claudia! She likes playing with people...very violently. She's a Magical Girl- but she's no hero! Interested with keeping up with our progress? Wishlist on Steam and join our Discord! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #magicalgirl #MagicalShowdown

Say hello to Eili! Still undergoing some work, but her playstyle is a fighter meant to be that of usually support; she jams out on her magic guitar to buff allies and debuff foes, but rockers DO love to mosh... #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #MagicalShowdown

Latest in #MagicalShowdown dev news- We've been working on more effects and online functionality! Punch with heart! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegames #unity3d #MagicalShowdown

We're hard at work, just a touch quiet. We're doing a lot of effects and texture works to make sure areas and attacks have the flash and pizzazz they deserve- and it's only going to improve, that we can promise you! Here's a bit of what we have so far! #gamedev #unity3d #indiedev #indiegame

It's been a while, but we've been hard at work...enough to be showcasing Magical Showdown at the Washington State Gaming Expo! @wagamingexpo.com.web.brid.gy That's right, on Feb. 6-8th, you can try a round of Magical Showdown in person! In fact, you just might win something neat... see you there!

Say hello to Lorelei! Lover of Fun. Destroyer of Sherbet. Ex-Magical Girl. Current Assassin. She's Miranda's bestie and workmate, and also a gal of refined tastes. Shame she's always broke, but perhaps winning the Showdown could change her fortunes...? #indiegame #conceptart #gamedev #indiedev

Still hard at work on Magical Showdown! We can get a bit wild sometimes, too- here's a bit of some animations for our latest character, Eili, the Wild Rocker! #indiedev #indiegame #animation #madeinunity

You might've noticed, but we have a new arena! The Outgoer Training Center is a basic arena meant for newcomers. Symmetrical and focusing on teamwork, it's still getting some finishing touches, but when it's live, don't take it lightly! #gamedev #indiedev #anime #unity3d

Following up with Claudia, here's a demonstration of our leading lady's skills- along with a bit of a showcase of a new arena! Check this one out over on Youtube! #indiedev #gamedev #magicalgirl #fightinggame www.youtube.com/watch?v=vY93...

Character update: We're working on Claudia, the vampiric magical girl (technically) heiress. She's proving quite the menace, and she's not even showing her full strength yet...keep an eye out, she's going to be one to watch! #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #MagicalShowdown

We were at Seattle Loves Indie Creators Expo (SLICE) recently! Check out the video, and keep your eyes peeled for Magical Showdown during it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ9y... #SeattleIndies #gamedev #indiedev

New blogpost! Nothing major, but with our shift in combat system comes new opportunities! #gamedev #indiedev www.magicalshowdown.com/post/the-way...

The Ways of Combat Always Change

So, if you've been keeping up with our social media (at least on Bluesky and Youtube) you might've noticed that our combat system has changed.This was, admittedly, by a bit of serendipity, but we welc...

A bit of a bigger look at some WIP combat so you can see more on how combos and the system in general works! Still missing a lot of VFX, mind... #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #anime

A bit late of a #screenshotsaturday post, but we're hard at work revising the combat. We think the results are quite enjoyable. Have a look at some early work! #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #arenafighter #magicalgirls

Here's a question- what type of Magical Girls or Magical Girl shows are YOUR favorite? What types do you think might show up in the game? #magicalgirls #question #indiedev
