Magical Girl Manager PROTOTYPE

This is just a prototype! The full gameplay loop is not yet supported.

Magical Girl Manager is a survivors-like with (planned) elements from Darkest Dungeon. Each girl is recruited and unique. Battle hordes of enemies with elemental wands. Collect "Relics" that are based off popular magical girl anime. Balance their "Willpower" to keep them happy.

My elevator pitch: Survivors-like combat at night with relics inspired by popular magical girl anime, Darkest Dungeon-like sanity and hub world during the day for leveling up passive stats, with Idol Manager-like random events and relationship building. The focus will be on friendship and team interaction, with fun Brotato-like accessories for dress-up, rewarding achievements, and a "limit break" wand system.

In this version:

• Normally wands will be dropped by bosses, but in this version you can just select one.
• Girl's starting stats and tiers don't do anything to the abilities yet (ie: a girl's cooldown doesn't affect anything yet)
• There's only 1 "relic" right now (Pink Moon Stick)
• There are only like 2 upgrades for the wand and the relic, and some upgrades like "duration" don't work
• The game lets you start with a full 3-girl party if you click "Quick Battle"
• Death doesn't work so good right now
• There's a bug where upgrades to one wand are also applied to another of the same wand; also, upgrades carry over between battles now (they shouldn't)
• You have to drag the wand over the girl's stats, not her sprite. I'll fix this eventually!

Again, this version of the game is just for vibe checking.

The full gameplay loop would look something like:

• Start with one girl, go through tutorial of battling
• Eventually beat a boss (or miniboss) that drops a wand
• Tutorial for recruiting another magical girl with that wand
• Upgrade each girl's wand for permanent stat upgrades
  
• Battle with two girls
• Repeat
• Eventually three girls in party max
• Continue unlocking different girls for unique party compositions

Everything is subject to change. I'm really interested in the feels of the gameplay right now.

Planned:

• Day time hub versus night time battling
  • "Events" occur during the daytime
  • Can heal, upgrade, etc., during the daytime
• Battles will be ~5 minutes long, with elites spawning every 30 seconds, a miniboss at 3 minutes, and a final boss at 5 minutes (subject to change)
• Friendship system that influences battle
• "Willpower" system similar to Darkest Dungeon "Sanity"
• Unique "traits" on girls, such as "Leader - Prefers to be in the Leader position of the party."
• Girls can be B Tier, A Tier, or S Tier (higher stats)
• Elemental combination system to reward using multiple elemental types in a party (a Fire ability combining with a Water ability triggers a Steam Cloud that travels around the map)
• Combining wands to limit break them, opening up more stat upgrades
• A simple story to follow while unlocking levels
• Tons of "relics" that are based off popular magical girl anime (already have 50+ planned)
• A cute dress-up system with items that upgrade abilities in certain ways
• Permadeath with its own unique consequences
