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

Not quite a screenshot for #screenshotsaturday, but we're gonna do you one better! Here's a (silent) showcase of Claudia's moveset! She's charming, vicious... and MORE than happy to play with and break her toys- meaning you.

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

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

Here's some further examples of attacks! (works in progress, we're gonna make these look and feel MEATY.) Aerial attacks are very much a thing here, so don't think you're safe up there! These girls can and WILL find you! #indiedev #gamedev #magicalgirl #madewithunity #ShowMeSunday

A brief look at our current melee system. It's very incomplete- we've had to rework a lot from initial attempts, which is why we were radio silent. But we're getting into a much better position much faster than v1- here's what we have so far. #indiegame #gamedev #unity3d

We're excited to give a first look at our UI in its earliest stages. Sparse, but we want to hear from the community about general layout and style. Left is teammate info (health and stamina), right is equipment you can bring into battle. What do you think? Let us know! #gamedev #UI #unity #indiedev

This is a test of the game's final art style, featuring two fierce rivals battling it out for a high-worth target. We think the high contrast, cel-shaded style will allow moves and landmarks to be easily noticeable! What do you think? #gamedev #art #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

We are excited to show off our exclusive first look at a battle theme for Magical Showdown! We took inspiration from other games such as Blazblue and old school beat 'em ups for this electric techno beat! #IndieDev #GameDev #Music

Another fighter for you to sink your teeth into: Meet Eili! She's all too ready to deliver some killer beats with her guitar - but don't stress, because her music can amp up your team's damage and defense, too! This wolf knows how to run in a pack! #art #gamedev #indiedev #concept
