Introduction to Magefest

Hey guys, welcome to Angry Ghost Games, and to the creation of our first game, "Magefest".

The game is a party game, similar to games in the Super Smash Bros series, with more of a focus on platforming than fighting. Players will take control of wizard siblings, fighting over a ticket to Magefest bought by their mother. Players are unable to directly attack or affect the other players, and instead must apply magical effects to the platforms underfoot: enhancing them with healing magic; setting them on fire, or just blowing them up entirely.

Here we will be posting anything to do with the development of the game, plus screenshots and GIFs/videos of the game and the process, once it is up and running.

On this blog, you will be kept up to date with weekly posts looking into the development of the game, including screenshots, GIFs and videos of both the development of the game, as well as gameplay itself, once the game is in a more complete state.

As this blog has been started with around four months of prior development, you will not get to see the very start of development, but I will see what I can dig up of earlier builds of the game, as well as pre-production art to show you all.

I'll introduce the group in the next couple of posts, including myself, so stay tuned for that. A couple of the members of our group are also just joining the project, so I'll make sure to get their thoughts and feelings about joining development of a game partway through.

So from all of us here at Angry Ghost Games, thank you so much for reading, and I hope you continue to follow along.

Thank you so much!
