Ova Magica News

[h2]Beach Blob[/h2]

You can't tell by looking at it, but the beach blob can master strong water attacks, which makes him a popular companion amongst trainers. Until they notice that it's pretty relaxed and doesn't really try hard in battle....

[h2]Baby Blob[/h2]
Full of curiosity, the baby blob explores its surroundings and approaches people without shyness. Being small and fragile, it is not a danger. But where there's a baby blob, there's a mommy not far...

[h2]Day 1 - Acorn Blob[/h2]
When the foliage turns golden and the leaves begin to fall, the acorn blob comes out. It has a friendly and curious nature and likes to greet hikers wandering through the woods.



[h2]Day 2 - Cactus Blob[/h2]

The catus blob prefers warm and dry climate and can be found mainly in desert regions. It is peaceful as long as you keep your distance. But if you get too close, you will feel its spikes - which hurts quite a bit!

I hope you had a nice November! The year is now slowly coming to an end.... I don't know about you, but right now as I write this it's snowing! I use this occasion to give you a little impression of the winter season "Frigus" in Ova Magica:

On some quiet Frigus days, the aurora shows itself in its full glory!

Our artist IchigoRanch has worked on some more beautiful wedding outfit potraits of the romanceable characters. Of course, we don't want to spoil the big moment in the game for you and so there is only a small teaser of the outfits♥!






Also almost all the girls' swim outfits are ready. Only Opal is still missing. For all those who ask themselves "Where are the male outfits?": They are still in work and as soon as they are ready we will show them to you of course.

Do you already have a fav outfit? From Left To Right:
Charoi, Citrine, Jade, Ruby, Garnet, Lazuli




We regularly try to improve the game and have added the following feature for you:
Until now, if you found a new blob egg, you had to return to your farm in the blob barn and hatch it there.
Now, if your team is not yet full, you can hatch the egg at any time! Especially at the beginning of the game you are very excited when you find your first egg and don't want to wait so long. Plus, your extra companion can immediately give you a battle advantage in the dangerous blob worlds!

Behind the scenes, we worked a lot on planning, creating the supporting characters and their dialogs. For this purpose we have hired a new team member! In the coming updates there will be more about this and the first results in the game!




We added some additional items to the customization!

Like a head scarf...

...and medical mask!

In Discord we also asked you which hair colors you miss! Most answers were a very light or platinum blonde and a reddish brown! We have added these colors for you!

We spent also time on adding in-game events and new content! Here are a few impressions for you.

The kids can't await Coral return from her expedition!

Some Lapis merch:




The good news is that the intro and farming tutorial is done! The bad: Our starter Blob had a different opinion. It was cheeky and escaped the tutorial bounds!

For some it is a bug. But in reality Achira, the cheetah blob, just moves faster than the blink of an eye;-)

(Fortunately, we have already fixed both bugs).


Are you excited about this year's Blob Advent Calendar? Tomorrow it already starts;-)

Last year it was very well received. If you click (best right click and open in new tab) on the picture, you can see the one from last time.



Do you have any remarks, suggestions or thoughts for us after reading this update? Your opinion is important to us, so feel free to leave us a comment♥.

[h2]New Blobs, Characters and Interiors[/h2]

We are working hard to bring a variety of different blobs already in the Beta. In October, these three new blobs were created: Hog Blob, Dessert Blob and Beach Blob. See them below in that order!



Which one is your fav♥?





Our artist Ichigo has also finished the portrait for Coral! Coral is Pearl's younger sister. She is the leader of the adventurers club and has a strong and fierce personality! To match her personality, her own personal blob is a Cheetah!



We also worked on the adventurers club interior which is also an orphanage! The members are one big family and the children love to listen to the stories of the adventurers.





[h2]Character Creation[/h2]

We finally got around to pulling the character creation interface out of prototype status! The base UI is ready, but we are still working on adding more colors, outfits, accessories and styles for hair, eyes and beard. There will also be an option to choose your own color and not only the preset ones!

In the video below you can get a first impression of the character creation. And don't worry all the options are not gender locked! Also the current colors are a small selection for testing, there will be of course more colors available♥









When you have any ideas or wishes for a hair styles or outfits, please let us know in the comments♥!

We also try to offer also a variety of hair styles for textured hair! Here are some of them:



[h2]Game Intro[/h2]

Until now, you were dropped into the middle of the story in the game. In October we worked mainly on the game intro! You arrive in Clover Town and of course you get to choose your first Blob! Here are a few impressions (but we do not want to spoil too much, so there is only a small insight)!







[h2]The end of Halloween[/h2]

Halloween might have come and again a few weeks ago, but did you that the citizens of Clover Town also celebrate the spooky season? Have a look at their festivities!







As always, thank you for reading! If you like what you see and you haven't yet, be sure to wishlist the game to be able to support us at launch!
