📅 June 2 📅

YouTube video by Lorelei's Library Can an RPGMAKER DEV learn GODOT? Here's the SAME GAME in BOTH engines!

Any #RPGMaker devs curious about maybe starting up a game in #Godot? I made a video that shows you how easy it is! I'm still addicted to RPG Maker but it's great to know you CAN make different games in different games! youtu.be/EMqnFnYlTdE #gamedev #indiegame

I've been working on the background and added some glow! The contrast is a bit much right now, it will be tuned down over time, I'm sure! But happy to make some progress! #gamedev #indiegame #godot #magicalgirl

Yesss!! I'm so excited when I see other magical girl games!

Got experience ("starpower") and level ups working! Can't wait to start adding all the sparkles 🤩🌟✨ can't be a magical girl game without sparkles! #indiegame #gamedev #godot #solodev #magicalgirl

Placeholder UI, but happy I got my party screen working! Drag in whoever you want to use. Swap the girls around! The girl at the top is the "leader" who follows the cursor, determining the circle's rotation. #gamedev #indiegame #godot #magicalgirl

Collect ALL the magical girls! Scroll bar hype! #gamedev #indiegame #godot #magicalgirl

So instead of doing anything productive, I played around with shaders on my new wands! (courtesy of @zurasuta.itch.io !) Next on my list are ALL the particles, but I should probably get some actual gameplay developed for the MVP first... #gamedev #indiegame #godot #magicalgirl

I'm still working on this, lots of things to fix and many sparkles to add! But I need to pay attention to my children for a little bit ;) I'm excited at the progress I was able to make! #gamedev #indiegame #godot #magicalgirl

Got a spot for relics to spawn! Again - ignore the visuals LOL. There's a little cooldown tracker too! #gamedev #indiegame #godot #magicalgirl

I spent the evening making the "recruit a girl" scene! It's only a placeholder UI for now but it's nice seeing some parts of the game come together for the prototype. #gamedev #indiegame #magicalgirl

Sneak peak at the new UI, and also the first Relic! Visuals aside, of course - behold the infamous Godot logo placeholder! "Pink Moon Stick" - what anime is that from?! #gamedev #indiegame #magicalgirl

I don't have a super cool logo for this yet, but I did some brainstormin' and I think I'll call the game: Starlit Guardians! A Magical Girl Manager. I googled and didn't see other magical girls called "Starlit Guardians" so it should be okay?? Anyway, this will help set up a narrative for the game!

The "leader" follows the mouse cursor - and now you can swap who the leader is with your mouse wheel! This makes it feel much better when deciding which wand you want to lead with. Some girls will prefer being leaders, and will get a stat boost! #gamedev #indiegame #magicalgirl

Find a random girl, give her a wand, add her to the party, and go fight the baddies! Here's a little sneak peak at what battle looks like! (Yep, it's another Survivors-like!) I'm getting close to a working prototype! #gamedev #indiegame #magicalgirl #survivorslike

There's obviously a lot to fix, add, change, and polish, this is FAR from being "finished," but I got the basic functionality of forming a party working! (Also they have last names and stamina and current activities!) 🥰✨ #gamedev #indiegame #magicalgirl

Because sometimes you want to spend time making something pretty! Here is version 2 of the logo. I'll probably make about 10 different versions before finally deciding to outsource LOL. But this is cute for now! #gamedev #indiegame #magicalgirl

In Magical Girl Manager, you get to recruit your own magical girls! I'm so excited about my new sprites, courtesy of @zurasuta.itch.io ! Girls will have random hair, random colors, random names, and random stats, for unique playthroughs 🧙‍♀️✨ #gamedev #indiegame #magicalgirl #magicalgirlgame

Vampire Survivors style combat with a party of 3 magical girls with unique stats you've recruited! Very early proof of concept. Game will feature evolvable Wands, dress-up style equipment, and weapons that drop from bosses! #gamedev #indiegame #magicalgirl #shoujo

Making a bluesky acct for my new game! They say to start social media early, so here I go :) Introducing: Magical Girl Manager! Recruit magical girls, foster friendship, and defeat the bad guys! In early development #gamedev #indiegame #magicalgirl #shoujo
