All of this effort went into the visuals and sounds  in the time constraints of 1 month! All while auditioning over 300 voice actors too, really shows how much effort was put in. This was a short experience, but deifinitely a high quality one!

I adore this art style and the character designs!! There was clearly a lot of work put into this and it showwwwwss! I also love the game page it's super creative and eye-catching! Super fun story (even if Tabbie is driving me crazy lol) and I can't wait to see more of this game!

This magical girl has amazing character design.

The UI looks amazing. The magical girl transformation left me in awe! Seeing her magical girl form made me laugh so much. The humor has been pretty great and you really nailed middle-school angst. The VA-team did a great job and really brought the characters to life!

Demo definitely left me with wanting more!

The character design is awesome, I love Tabbie's character. Very nice idea and super fun to play. The UI is outstanding. The voice acting is also amazing <3 super polished. Great work! <3

An absolute delight! I adore how incredibly expressive the characters are (both visually and in the wonderful voice acting!); the overall style is slick and polished, the music is bright and engaging, and the premise is great fun. Terrific work--I look forward to seeing more!

Thank you so much!! I’m amazed we have 178 sprites 🤯 Also our soundtrack is streamable on Spotify! https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/janhehr/this-magical-girl-is-a-bitch-vol-1-original-game-soundtrack

Rad!! I'll have to check it out--and holy cats 178?! I believe it because they were so amazingly expressive, but still--what an incredible accomplishment in a month's time!! ✨

DeveloperSubmitted(+4)

Yep, our director works in animation and is used to some crazy amounts of frame drawings!

It’s been a wild ride working with such a passionate and multitalented team 😄

We are discussing what the characters would be as drinks haha and there’s new fanart from Abby’s little sister about it LOL (voice actor for Tabbie)

I literally can't find anything wrong with this game.  It was such a joy to play!  The characters are so fun (and accurately angsty), the voiceovers are magical, the music is perfect for the scenes, and I can't wait to see where the story leads next.  Such a twist on the magical girl genre that I didn't know I needed tbh.

Thank you so much Shleedelie! Your stream is also a delight to watch! Thank you so much for sharing the fun with us! 

Developer(+1)

ahh thank you so much for streaming our game!! Also, I LOVE how your starting screen and streaming interface looks, it's so cute! :)

Whomever wrote the story really remembers that middle school social angst. Beautiful designs, hilarious voice acting (or awesome growling in Mr. Monster's case). Great job!

DeveloperSubmitted

Thank you!! Our team was inspired by Goob from despicable me for Tabbie’s sulky intro! And Jacob did awesome with the growls, he also voiced Mr. Teacher

(Also I was def the kid raising their hand and getting talked over XD

That and throwing sick burns at “bullies” are my social angst contributions hahaha!)

Submitted(+4)

Really well done demo! The level of polish and detail put in is amazing for a month long jam. Even the game page just oozes character and care. Great job!

DeveloperSubmitted(+1)

Thank you so much! Teamwork truly makes the dream work! ✨ It was so much fun putting together everyone’s art, fanart, pixiesonas, and quips together for the page!

We even put the final touches for it all together on a shared canva!

P.S. How cool is it that Abby, our VA for Tabbie drew her too??

Submitted(+5)

Fantastic game.
Thank you all for making it.

Just a minor bug I found when navigating through the stickers: the sound effects still play even when I don't have any sticker.

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked it! And good to know about the bug! We will add it to the list to fix it ^_^

The title doesn't lie; this magical girl really is a b⭐tch haha
I found Tabbie to be a bit grating personally (and her VA really sells it lol), but the presentation of this VN is great. It's very impressive; there's a lot to like.
Also, the game page looks gorgeous!

Developer(+1)

Hello Ebi, we appreciate your positive feedback! And I agree - Abby did a great job with her voice acting ✨

DeveloperSubmitted

heheh tween girls be like that sometimes 🤣

Thank you for playing! I’m amazed by how the script was brought to life by the presentation as well!!

Also thank you for appreciating the page, happy to capture the chaos and personality of the game and the team in here 🤭

Excellent game! The quality of production is off the roof! From the character design to the voice acting and the story, to the beautiful main page and the secrets hidden in it. 

I think only have praise for this game, is true at the beginning it takes a little bit to start enjoying and liking the mc, but as soon as it starts kicking in, is hilarious and fun! 

Great job from the developers! 

Developer(+1)

Ahh! You are so kind, thank you! We worked very hard to polish the game before the deadline. So glad to hear that it shines through! 

DeveloperSubmitted

So glad you had fun, the team had loads of fun making it too (and continue gushing over new fanart and sharing ideas)!

Can’t wait to work on the rest and see folks’ reactions to the full story!

SUPER DUPER POLISHED!! Strength is defs my favourite character, tiny cinnamon bun doing their best :') 
The 3D BGs, fancy looking UI and the variety of sprite expressions are pretty unique and it really channeled the game's overall aesthetic well! :>

(also super glad to see some familiar names on the team <3)

The art looks amazing! I'm having some trouble downloading it however, is there another way for me to try it out?

Developer(+1)

hi hi, thank you for the kind words about the art and sorry to hear you're having trouble downloading our game! Are you on mac or pc (or other os)? 

also killer snoofie helpfully posted a no commentary playthrough if that's preferable to trying to troubleshoot:

This game has so much style and attitude I could sense it from the thumbnail alone.

Incredible writing and aesthetic. Reminds me a lot of the puyo puyo tetris menus.

Developer(+2)

I think "reminds me a lot of puyo puyo tetris" is one of the best compliments this game could ever receive!! Thank you so much!!

What a cute story! The skill of all your team-members, and your ability to all create something that really meshes beautifully, is on full display! The bouncy, dynamic 2-d sprites contrasted and complemented the 3d backgrounds in a really beautiful and unique way, and the expressions were all so well pushed into the characters' poses - and the voice acting too! Overall feels polished and charming, and one to definitely look forward to seeing continued!

Also the medieval "Achievement Get" icon (and the others too) are spectacular

DeveloperSubmitted(+1)

Yay thank you!! Everything goes together so well and I’m so impressed by the skill and passion from the entire team!

The stickers are all Shannon’s genius, my fav is the lonely kids club one which is also on the page heh 😄

I enjoyed This Magical Girl is a B*tch!

The moment-to-moment dialogue made me smile. Tabitha's a hilariously nasty and angst-ridden little 8th grader, and seeing her be a horrible goblin to everyone was entertaining. I like the rest of the cast too: they all play off of Tabitha really well.

The character designs are great too: they're incredibly expressive. I especially love the Pixies: their giant jester hats are adorable. Am I wrong in saying that they remind me a bit of the Clow Cards from Cardcaptor Sakura?

The voice-acting is excellent as well. Adding all of those lines in such a short period of time couldn't have been easy, but you did it - and the quality and care you put into it shows. Kudos to that.

If I have any major critique: it's that the story ends rather abruptly. I'd love to see more from Tabitha and the world she lives in, but I'll have to settle for a nice cliffhanger for now. ;w;

Thank you for bringing this into the world! I'm excited to see what you all make next.

DeveloperSubmitted(+1)

Hehe you are going to enjoy our director belle’s reflection post where she goes into her inspirations!

And stay tuned for more 😄

Impressed with the overall quality. Feels very polished and professional. However the main character is really insufferable and the pacing is slightly off, which distracted me from the other great features. Props to the voice actors for their work !
