RPGM [DevLog] A Magical Girl Project

[Paril]

Premise:
A Magical Girl Project.

Gameplay:

A Magical Girl Project is a science fantasy role-playing game with sandbox elements. It is a plot driven-story with greater emphasis on world-building and introduction of recurring concepts. The game is planned to include an open-world environment that facilitates a branching storyline, with themes of corruption, tragedy, combat, and sex.

I'd probably rethink the name, imo. I immediately thought this was a Re:Zero-themed game/parody based on that, I probably won't be the only one. Just a thought, though. Beyond that, sorta interested to see where this goes.

Thanks for the suggestion! Naming has never been my strongest suit, but I'll definitely think about it! Nothing is final yet anyhow

Not sure if reviving an old post is considered necro-ing, but I wanted to revive this old project - it's been sitting on the backburner ever since, and to be honest I wasn't really skilled enough to follow through when I first visualized the project. But I like to think I got better now (at drawing).

I'm starting from scratch, cutting down a lot of unrealistic features that were impossible beyond my means to begin with, and then narrowed it down.

There was supposed to be three protagonists, but it's now just one. Aside from that, I've redesigned the main protagonist:


I also just snagged a potential writer, so the story itself is still at the table.

i see many indie devs abandon their projects mostly because they can't set suitable scope from the get-go so get everything ready before jumping into production must be a good decision
wish you good luck

 

[Paril]

Thanks! The goal right now is to finish the outline of the story and the standing art for the MC and other characters, and then continue the work from there.

 

[smilee2110]

i would suggest to think of the game mechanics too, then decide which engine is suitable for it
you really don't want to switch engine mid development, it would delay your work for months

Oh, it's nothing special. Think of Celesphonia, but with a bigger emphasis on corruption and body transformation. I just haven't updated the gameplay description yet.

Hello, just a quick update. They're technically placeholders still, but the looks should be close to the final product.


The next update will take a while so I'll have more to show.

Didn't expect to get notifs, but at least I got something to keep an eye on.

The very very best type of thread necro. Welcome back, we will follow your career with interest!

Hello, another quick update. I just want to say I hit a snag in development. There's this tileset I want but couldn't find anywhere else but on steam, and me being the stingy person that I am haven't actually bought rpmmz (tho I was planning to eventually after kickstarting the project), so I can't just buy the tileset in question.

I'm going to wait for sale or a drop in price, but until then I'm going to have to divert my efforts in other parts of development. Oh, and yesterday I made a mock-up of the "lobby" screen which would double as the in-game menu.


Also, I want to say thank you to all the peeps who expressed their support so far. I appreciate it.

Yet another quick update orz

Map for the main department of the school:



Another set of mock-ups:





Starting now I'm going to be finalizing and cleaning up assets, and then implement them in the game. Hopefully, I can finish up before next year comes to release a playable prototype.
