Game Jam: Steel Star Defender

After the success of the last Metroidvania Month Game Jam I participated in, I thought "why not do it again?" This time, however, the jam came with a twist: Metroidvania Month was crossing over with the Magical Girl Game Jam, and the option arose to participate in both themes. After discussing it with my team, composed of friends that could help fill my knowledge shortcomings on the Magical Girl genre, we decided to attempt both. And I was the one who successfully pitched what would end up being the final concept: a robot magical girl from beyond the stars. The working title: Steel Star Defender.

After extensive research and consultation with my teammates, I ended up producing some of my favorite game concept pieces to date! While the project unfortunately ended up getting shelved once the jam ended, I learned a lot about the Magical Girl genre while working on this project, and I am very confident I could apply that knowledge to any future projects if need be.
