The wait is over! The first major content update is available 🎉
It does ot only come with the planned roadmap progress, but also with several improvements and smaller new features based on our communities feedback💪
Note: Make sure to update to the 0.703 version. If Steam doesn't update automatic, restart Steam. On Steam Deck games sometimes do not launch after updates, in this case restart your Steam Deck.
WORDS FROM THE DEVS
We continue to work on improving the game like adding more descriptions for the future updates and also implementing feedback. However, it is important to mention that we are a very small team and unplanned/additional things can take time.
Our main focus is on the roadmap leading to the 1.0 release and bug fixes. So even if we can't/don't reply to feedback threads: We read them! And maybe some of you will notice that your ideas have already made it into the game.
We also use this occasion to thank all who got Ova Magica and played it already during Early Access🙏. As small indie dev with a debut title your trust means a lot to us and supports immensly the development and translation costs for the full release.
Please also consider leaving a Steam review if you enjoyed playing - it helps a lot 💚 !
NEW ROADMAP CONTENT
First we want to share the updated roadmap with you!
Side note: we moved the 6th blob world from the 0.9 to the 1.0 version because we want the time between 0.8 and 0.9 shorter an it feels more balanced with each update leading to 1.0 having one new blob world.
⚠️ Attention: Below the roadmap pic are descriptions with SPOILERS of the new content! Stop reading here if you do not want to be spoilered.
NEW BLOB WORLD: CANDY KINGDOM🍬
The adventurers Cenx and Redigit need your help to get their blobs back who stayed behind in the Candy Kingdom blob world. The new blob world comes with several unique rewards like cute furniture, cherry tree seeds and an auto-petter blueprint.
SEWERS
The sewers come with new blobs and also an upgrade for your return wand.
With the new Homeward Wand you can now teleport to your house from any location, and not only use the wand to leave the blob worlds.
NEW BLOBS + ABILITIES
You can collect 7 new "base blobs" coming with 4 new abilities in the 0.7 version. Here are the new abilities:
Candy Blob: Produce Candy (Passive)
