May Dev Update
I'm still working on filling the world of Ova Magica with life. I share with you some new places you can visit. Beekeepers The beekeepers are side NPCs which know all about bees and bee blobs and sell bee related products and blueprints. [previewyoutube=Jh6re-n606E;full][/previewyoutube] Mine The inside isn't fully finished yet, so i can't share it yet. But here is the entrance and also a new fishing/lake area. In the mine you can gather coal and some common ores. But to get the rarest and most valuable ores you still need to visit the dangerous blob worlds.
In Ova Magica, time runs in days and seasons like in a typical farm sim. So every hour in the game is valuable. The Steamboard is your best friend for moving faster. The new fast travel feature now allows you to additionally skip long distances. [previewyoutube=2-aaPYKoDE0;full][/previewyoutube]
Our artist Ichigo*ranch has finally finished all the character portraits! There are currently 131 high quality hand-drawn portraits in the game! And most of them are completely different in pose and expression (not only facial changes). Also each romanceable character has a unique swimwear and wedding outfit. I'm showing some of Citrine here because she hasn't gotten that much attention yet.
There are many blobs and even more skills in Ova Magica. Here is a selection of some new ones that were added in May. (I am still experimenting and working on the battle balancing. So do not wonder when some numbers appear odd, like too low or high. All skill videos represent a test situation for development.) Hacking Lowers all stats of one enemy. [previewyoutube=xZBPr4Sm-mg;full][/previewyoutube] Wood Shield Raises the defense of your whole party. [previewyoutube=foVwO5SoYe0;full][/previewyoutube] Balloons A fun skill, hurting all enemies. [previewyoutube=VEUjcNmMkeA;full][/previewyoutube] Royal Sword A strong attack affecting one enemy (ignore the low damage number in the video :-P it isn't balanced yet, it shall be strong) [previewyoutube=gbwDofLqmA8;full][/previewyoutube]
I can't share everything we work on in the updates because it's either still very WIP, not so relevant or i am just too busy to record so many videos and write a lot of text. But here are some other things which happened in May: - Created around 7 new side NPCs for the town - The writers worked A LOT on side NPCs and character dialogs the last weeks - Until now battle skills had a fixed strength/attack number. This was replaced by a strength/attack grade (A-F) which you can improve solely with breeding. You can see the change in some of the battle skill videos above but it's still WIP. I want to share the full system in next update. - Improved the UI for entering your birthday in the character creation - Made progress on Lapis and Lazulis home interior - Worked further on improving the blob breeding algorithm - Fixed some bugs (as always :-P) - Worked on some in-game quests Thank you for reading so far I wish you all a wonderful June! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1299170/Ova_Magica/

Hi there, everybody! Claudia here! It's been a whole month already.
First of all, I would like to invite you to join our Discord (if you are not already a member). There I regularly post updates and answer questions:
I also want to share with you our little store where you can pre-order merch like an artbook, trading cards, keychains, pins, a plush and much more to support us. The money from each pre-order is fully invested in the development.
Click here to go to the store
So now to the actual update! We actually worked on a lot of things in May. Here is a selection for you:
New Locations

New Feature: Fast Travel

Think carefully when it's time to defend and when to attack. Also plan to use the right skill type to gain elementary advantages.
You can explore dangerous mazes where you can find eggs and rare treasures. These dungeons change every time you enter them! In the end a strong blob boss guards the rare eggs. A tough battle awaits you!
