And finally, functioning two player gameplay! Super ecstatic that Spellslingers made it to this stage with our hardware. Happy casting, Spellslingers players!

Looking back at how far Spellslingers' magic wand alt-ctrl controller has come! From concept, to prototype, to finished product! #indiedev #arcade

The finished hardware was placed inside of a tiny compartment that slots easily into our several, specially customized character wands. The compartment slides out just as easily if you want to use it with a different wand!

One of Team Magic's programmers here! Working on SpellSlingers was both a fun and good-stressful project to have worked on, and it's actually pretty cool to see how the prototype looked like months ago to what we have now! #GDCMasterClass #GDC23 #indiedev #unity3d

As the showcase draws near, the cabinet for Spellslingers sits ready for play with the wands all painted and waiting to cast!
