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

Magical Showdown @mgshowdown.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

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

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

Magical Showdown @mgshowdown.bsky.social · 29/05/2026

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

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

Magical Showdown @mgshowdown.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

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

Magical Showdown @mgshowdown.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

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!

Magical Showdown @mgshowdown.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

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

Magical Showdown @mgshowdown.bsky.social · 05/11/2025

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

Magical Showdown @mgshowdown.bsky.social · 01/10/2025

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

Magical Showdown @mgshowdown.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

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

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

Magical Showdown @mgshowdown.bsky.social · 21/09/2025

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

Magical Showdown @mgshowdown.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

Magical Showdown @mgshowdown.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

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 youtube.com/shorts/Wjtp9...

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

Magical Showdown @mgshowdown.bsky.social · 19/10/2024

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

Magical Showdown @mgshowdown.bsky.social · 14/10/2024

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

Magical Showdown @mgshowdown.bsky.social · 02/10/2024

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

Magical Showdown @mgshowdown.bsky.social · 30/09/2024

We are excited to show off our exclusive first look at our themes and skybox for our game's first stage! We took heavy inspiration from Naruto and Jojo Part 4, and will show more in the coming months! #gamedev #indiedev #art #screenshotsaturday

Meet Claudia! A gifted young vampiress- and she knows it. Seeing everyone (save her brother) as toys to play with- and break- she fights with bloody slashes and slams that showcase her supernatural power. Her smile is an illusion- you’re just a worm to her! More @ magicalshowdown.com #gamedev #art

We're working hard on the game, but in the meantime, something to explain about the setting is that Magical Girls aren't what you expect, here. The order of the day? Mercenary work. Fighting monsters, people, protection duty, or worse...they're all the purview of brave souls called Outgoers. (1/2)
