First of all, the whole team wishes you happy and relaxing holidays with your loved ones!

Character Icons

We are currently working on a mini map and a lot on improving the UI. For this Ichigo our artist has created an icon of each romanceable character.

Battle Status Effects

In December we worked on adding new status effects tom the game: Shield, Sleep, Blind and Confus: Shield This status effect protects your blob and make it less damage. [previewyoutube=MEkdv3slhI8;full][/previewyoutube] Sleep A sleeping blob will not move further on the action bar until it is awakened by an attack or item. [previewyoutube=oA115cZuDUM;full][/previewyoutube] Blind If a Blob is affected by the blind status effect, there is a high chance that it will miss attacks. The effect can be cured by items.

The effect lasts until the end of the battle or can be cured by an item. [previewyoutube=X2IC_eTr41c;full][/previewyoutube]

New Blobs

Also this month, we have created some new blobs. For the first version of the game, 75 basic blobs are planned, which you can combine as often as you like by breeding. Galaxy Blob This blob literally comes from another galaxy. It is said to have mysterious powers. Supposedly, the galaxy blob can communicate with others of its kind between worlds and also receive signals from space.
Cactus Blob 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!
Fox Blob This blob lives in forests and can be spotted in all seasons. But it is rare and only a few are lucky to find one. The annual blob beauty contest in Clover Town has often been won by a fox blob, especially its tail looks graceful.
Weather Blob This blob is so rare that little is known about it. Legends say it can influence the weather...

Blob ability "Love Spell"

In many farm sims it is very hard to befriend Npcs. In Ova Magica the cupid blob comes in handy! Its ability "Love Spell" increases the friendship level with Npcs - however, only once a day. [previewyoutube=uqvvFMGf2uY;full][/previewyoutube]

Closet

We also added working closets to the game. When you place a closet into your home you can use it to change your outfit and accessoires anytime. [previewyoutube=YxB1r8fW2EA;full][/previewyoutube]
