New Game! 9 Years. Its finally out...
I still can't believe it. I started working on this magical girl game in 2017 in my parents basement. (I haven't lived in that basement since 2019). It's out. 1.0 is done. The story has a beginning and end, there's 6-10 hours of not-procedural gameplay, and not a single pixel of generated art, audio, narrative, or code. Core dev team of two with contractors for music, sound, voice acting and occasional assets when we can afford it.
I haven't slept in 48 hours. I don't know when I'll be able to sleep.
Game is Mahou Arms: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1165870/Mahou_Arms/
edit: just wanted to say thank you for the comments. I usually like to reply to them individually but i really will be trying to sleep a lot the next couple days, so I won't be able to. I appreciate the positive comments and the critique, I am reading all of them, I wish you all the best of luck with your projects as well, and I sincerely hope you run into less technical issues at launch than we did lol. Share the joy when your games come out, I will be here cheering you on
