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

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 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

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

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

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
