This one is for the girlypops
Hello pretty guardian!
Another year is coming to an end, this fills me with lots of feelings.
I’ve been busy developing Pretty Sweet! and I’m here to share about a highly anticipated feature! You saw it in the title already but lets roll the drums!
Drum rolls 🥁 brr 🥁 brr 🥁
🥳🎉 You can change your magical girl clothes in the game! 🎉🥳
AND it affects gameplay, so it’s not just aesthetics.

This is the new closet screen where you can change your looks not only clothes but hair and skin color and eyes color. Also notice this brand new hairstyle added!
Originally I was not going to include this because I wanted to keep this game very small but maaaybe I’ve been playing dress up games too much cough Infin*cough* Nikk*cough* that’s why I caved in to scope creep! Yay!

These are some of the magic wands you’ll see in the game.
The demo will have 3 full sets of clothes but the full game will have more. And you can mix and match the pieces. You have to buy the pieces with you hard earned Hearts, the currency of the game, so it feels rewarding!

Magic clothing store screen.
Each piece has a certain emotion attached to it. They can be used to attract more citizens with that particular emotion. This is useful when you have a lot of magic stock that balances that feeling so you can heal more people!

Speaking of DEMO 👀 I’ll be rolling a playtest in January so keep your eyes peeled to you email because I’ll send more info about that soon!
I hope you have time to rest a lot and play lots of games in the holidays!
Keep being magical and Happy new year ✨
Love,
