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.
Let me tell you...adding in those voice actor lines, editing them, re-editing them, fixing the text and dialogue boxes, and then cutting, editing and merging the VO files -again- (I think we did it about 145.75 billion times lol) was definitely no small feat! But the voice acting crew we had for this game honestly blew my mind, and our team was absolutely committed to making sure we got it right! A ton of work, but it was soooo worth it!
I FINALLY played this game and let me say, I love it soooooo much!! The story is very immersive and all the elements brings the whole thing together perfectly, making it beautifully enjoyable! The writing is so unique and I did not expect a lot of things that happened, which is good because I love visual novels that have you surprised with the unexpected!!
I want to note that what drawn me to play this was the about above (knowing tabbie's personality, the handwritten touch really brought out the one thing that is seen in-game!) All the characters are likeable and THE VOICE ACTORS?? They did such a great job like wow?? The voice acting made it feel like I was really watching a cartoon/anime and being able to read the narration kept it fun and innovative, still being able to be apart of the storyline!
I did make the video (i was so nervous- i don't know why haha) and I am so appreciative that I was able to because there was so much I could relate to in this game, such as the teacher himself (pretty sure we all had one a Mr. Teacher ) and even how it reminded me of a few animes I watched in the past! Really great job and *mwah* chef's kiss! I'll continue to support this and any other games you make, especially since they are so creatively made!!!
I've been waiting for this ever since I heard about it! And, it certainly doesn't missed! I love all the characters and this world y'all build! It's all absolutely so GOOD! I need the full game, I can't wait!!!
Me too! I like how groovy Mr. Teacher’s track is too and Strength’s intro!! As for story, you’re in for some surprises! (A surprise to me too haha we will see what will unfold hehe)
The VAs were absolutely wonderful to work with so I'm glad you enjoyed their performance!! Also yes, we have some amazing artists! They worked nonstop to bring everything to life and I'm thrilled to hear it paid off :DDD
Amazed by the awesome VO directing and talent on the team! The amount of detail put in the scene programming action by Rae and DKG + the fact Belle made 178 sprites is hella inspiring!
I’m so grateful to be brough on to the team, these characters were so much fun to write! Shannon did awesome with the villainous monologues and character intros and Rae with the WAND WHACKING and flashbacks! I loved writing Tabbie and Eden’s classroom banter too and Mr. Teacher’s personality XD!
