Hi everyone! This is a big update and includes quite a bit of stuff, so sorry for the delay! Formatting to Steam with the amount of images was also a hassle. Firstly, Ova Magica now has a professional writer - Meet Renkka! Renkka is a writer who specializes in visual novels and character-driven narratives. She's worked on games such as BTS Universe Story, Bistro Days, and Mizari Loves Company. Renkka enjoys writing about anything from coffee shop romances to thrilling paranormal adventures, and, now, about the wonderful, colorful world of Ova Magica! Her creative inspirations (and all-time favorite titles) include Pokemon, Ace Attorney, Danganronpa, and The House in Fata Morgana.

The last weeks we have already worked diligently on the events of the romanceable characters. Here are some teasers for you!

New Blobs

There are some new blobs as well! Birthday Blob For your (in-game )birthday you will get this special blob
Lotus Blob These blobs live in the pond and do not like to be disturbed. They are not necessarily the strongest but the fight with them should not be underestimated. Due to their special skill "Healing Lotus" they are especially dangerous in groups. (You can see more about the lotus blob below under "Fishing").
Orca blob These blobs are spotted near Clover Towns's beach, especially during the winter season "Frigus".
Many wished for a shark blob but there will be none base blob in the game. However, you can breed the orca and tiger blob relatively easily into a tiger shark themed blob. Here is an example:
Sheepo blob Cute and fluffy and it can produce wool!

Wedding Outfits

Our artist Ichigoranch has started drawing the first wedding outfits.
I don't want to spoil the special moment for you, so I'll show you only small teasers of the outfits. But I can assure you, they are gorgeous!
Can you guess the character?

Fishing

Some time ago I asked you for ideas and feedback for the fishing system. Most of you wanted a simple system and no complicated mini game. Thanks to your feedback I could now finish the base and I present you here the new mechanics! 1. Watch where you throw your bait!
Blobs don't like to be disturbed and can get angry when something hits them in the head!
2. Watch the bait closely! In the video below you can see that the color of the exclamation mark changes. If you press at the "right" moment (black) then you catch a fish (or sth else). If you press in the "wrong" (red) a battle starts. So watch the bait well! I have intentionally chosen that you can see when a blob bites so that you can avoid the fights. However, through the battles you also have the possibility to get some blob eggs... so what will you hunt - fish or blobs?

Usability Improvement

You can now challenge characters to battle with a simple button press instead of a tedious dialog selection! The test video below shows you how it looks.
Thank you for reading everyone, and have a wonderful rest of september!
