Aquatic delights! Museum, fishing, and development updates

Hello everybody!

We are really happy to bring you a periodic development update for the game. Thanks to the success of fundraising efforts, development on Ova Magica is in full swing, with additional content being added that wasn't possible before! One of these is the Clover Town Museum.



[h3]Clover Museum Aquarium[/h3]



First up, we are building the aquarium exhibit within the museum. Say hello to the Octopus!



This exhibit will allow you to help Emerald and the custodian catalogue the various different creatures living in the rivers and canals around Clover Town. As you help donate more to the museum, you'll see the tanks gradually fill it up with the fish that you donate! Perhaps as you help to document certain rare creatures, there might even be a reward in it for you?



As you can see, the room itself is a bit basic currently as a blockout, but the design of the aquarium tank itself is done. We look forward to showing you the finished design when it's fully laid out and decorated!

Why work on the aquarium first? It goes hand in hand with the fishing mechanics, which are also being designed currently!



Fishing is of course, a key part of a farming game, and there's plenty of ways it's been done across all the farming games out there. In order to help with the development, you can give us your opinion!

  • In which games did you enjoy fishing (or not) and why? Any idea or inspiration for a fishing mini-game mechanic?
  • What would you like to be able to fish in Ova Magica? And how about wild blobs that bite from time to time?
  • What kinds of aquatic life would you like to see?


Last but not least, did you know Ova Magica has a Discord server? Please join it in order to follow development of the game more closely! Also, please remember to WISHLIST the game!
