First, we'll share the biggest news: Ova Magica will be available in the [b]Steam Next Fest June 17th with a public demo[/b] for all to play🎉. [b]Around this time we will also post the Q2 update 2024 with news about the release date🥳. [/b] Now, onto some updates from the developer on the game: [b]Dev update:[/b] [i]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💚! [/i] [b]Improved breeding symbols[/b] [i]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.[/i] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//38620452/008a21336036eaab7d74da4fea929d9339c89b28.jpg[/img] [b]Character creator[/b] [i]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.[/i] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//38620452/fb89ae24a8a8e12d6afbcbe12fa5d875127630b0.png[/img] [i]Here are some characters i created[/i] [img]https://clan.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/images//38620452/59f29b3f5ca163db4b51cdabde391f6cf2d1a36e.jpg[/img] [b]Census Preview[/b] [i]Photograph every resident +their blobs of Clover Town to unlock their entries and gets ome infos about them.
