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

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
