Since there's no twitter hashtag or discord (if there are then let me know), let's share some of your work-in-progress screenshots or arts or music and stuff.
I'll start:
Tbh I don't know if I could even finish a game but let's see how it goes.
Nice design! Looking forward to your game
There... is actually a twitter hashtag #MagicalGirlGameJam; though I guess the hashtag is not viral :(
But good suggestion. I'm thinking of sharing some of my own progress there. Follow me at @d_reille if you're interested.
As for discord unfortunately I have not made it.
Unfortunately a big setback happened irl and it took much time away from it, I had to leave the jam since I would never make the date :(
I haven't abandoned the project, but I will have to release it separate from the game jam, it's called 'Sparking! Ezme'
I'll be sure to reply to you with a link to it (probably gonna put it on itch.io and/or Newgrounds when it is complete! :)
edit: on that note, since I no longer am limited by a date, I will probably take the extra time make things look prettier than they would have. I'm not gonna add any extra content though, I still plan on keeping the game short/simple like it would have been so it doesn't lose that 'small game' integrity.
Hi ! Late on this jam that'll try to do in one week i guess ^^.
I plan to do à print-yourself card game. The magical-girl theme gives me good idea for that.
I'm mostly an illustrator, and will stream some of my research / work here : https://www.twitch.tv/perceval_robin
You can drop by and chat about the jam if you wish.
Mainly, i'll have to do :
- some magical girls (duh)
- some companions
- quite a lot of villains
- some icons
- maybe a sprinkle of scenery
Continuing graphic research for my card game today : D.
Let's strike good sentaï poses, and put ribbons on everything.

I'll stream some work on the game this afternoon. https://www.twitch.tv/perceval_robin
Finished the background for cards & icons yesterday.
Will try to ink the caracter & monsters today : 3.
Don't hesitate to drop by and have a talk about the jam : ).

Got the finals of my intro cinematic done today, I think it's a smashing success. Working on a simple battle system now, nothing too special but enough to get the job done. The main thrust of the gameplay will be with its narrative, which I've been thinking a lot about. However, I'm also right in the middle of working on final year university coursework - including my dissertation. Hopefully something will be finished, even if it's not quite what I had planned. Also; need to find music! I'm planning to make some of it myself.
Either way, this'll be a game about two people going on an adventure. Discovering new things about themselves, and where they've ended up. Meanwhile, characters known as the 'Lost' are trying to prevent them from investigating the world further.
Yeah, just a little bit. Though that's what makes jam games so interesting, gotta find ways to get maximum value out of minimal systems. I wrote my own engine for a piece of coursework, and a server too. Using Unity is like a breath of fresh air compared to my own [buggy as heck] home-brew software. It's one of the reasons I chose to participate. Hopefully people will enjoy the finished game!
Turns out that won't be needed. I got up early and finished it off, though I had to cut the battle system.
