Our demo is OUT NOW! You can find it on the Steam homepage. We're extremely excited to be able to share this with you, after so much hard work and years of effort.

The below is a message from Claudia, the developer of the game:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the Cozy & Family Friendly Games Celebration 2024 on Steam, we've launched our very first public demo💚! The demo will be available until the end of the Steam Next Fest (10th-17th June) for everyone to play.

To all content creators🌟: 
You can help us immensely with getting some extra boosted visibility in the Steam Next Fest if you share Ova Magica during or shortly before it launches (10th-17th June). There are a lot of games this year from other big publishers and studios. As small indie dev, it can be hard to get attention, so regardless how small or big your audience is: Please share Ova Magica🙏.

If you are interested in more news about other cozy games, sign up for the Cozy Games newsletter from Rokaplay, who also put in all the hard work needed to run the Steam event💚🎮.

Hi everyone!

Mirroring some major news from the developer here.

First, we'll share the biggest news:

Ova Magica will be available in the Steam Next Fest June 17th with a public demo for all to play🎉.

Around this time we will also post the Q2 update 2024 with news about the release date🥳.

Now, onto some updates from the developer on the game:

Dev update: As already communicated in the last update of 2023, i currently can't share much new things with you because we need the "new stuff" for marketing. It's sometimes hard to hold back because i have actually A LOT new amazing things but needed to restrict myself here a lot.
As always you can reach out in Discord if you have questions💚!

Improved breeding symbols Instead of an egg you can now see the progress (in days) towards the new egg.
And maybe some of you already noticed: the new egg is purple. Now "base blob" eggs are green and all brood eggs are purple.

Character creator Polished the character creator more and added more options. I separated the "glasses" from the "accessoires" (flower icon) category so you can have even more freedom and options. Also added various new outfits + stuff.

Here are some characters i created

Census Preview Photograph every resident +their blobs of Clover Town to unlock their entries and gets ome infos about them.
