The second major content update is available 🎉
Note: Make sure to update to the 0.805 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.
The team uses this occasion to thank all who got Ova Magica in 2024 (and early 2025)🙏. Your support during Early Access helps a lot paying for the localization and remaining development.
We are looking forward to the full release and improving the game during the remaining Early Access period. If you have feedback and ideas do not hesitate to reach out via the Steam Forum or our Discord.
Please also consider leaving a Steam review if you enjoy playing Ova Magica - it helps a lot 💚 !
⚠️Important Note: Control/Button remapping settings: With progressing Early-Access development, we had to rework some of the code to make it future-proof. As a result, the old button remappings no longer work after this update. If you have previously changed the default controls, you will sadly have to redo them once. We apologize to all players affected by this. (The save data or any other settings are not affected. Only the key/button remapping in the pause menu settings.)
NEW ROADMAP CONTENT
First we want to share the updated roadmap with you! The current update is the 0.8 version.
⚠️Attention: Below the roadmap pic are descriptions with SPOILERS of the new content! Stop reading after the roadmap if you do not want to be spoilered.
Important note for transparency: The 7th blob world which was initially not planned but added as Kickstarter stretchgoal was for now sadly removed from the roadmap to not delay the 1.0 release further. One of the main reasons is that we just need more time to polish the 6 main blob worlds and add still missing features to them. We plan adding the 7th blob world in an update after full release also based on your ideas and feedback for possible new blobs + quests. We want to apologize for the change and hope for your understanding.
NEW BLOB WORLD: BAMBOO TEMPLE 🐼⛩️
In the new blob world you can find several new blobs like the Tiger, Red Panda, Peacock and more. It also comes with new resources, like the Mithril ore vein, and the greenhouse blueprint.
GREENHOUSE 🌱
In the greenhouse you can grow different crops all year round. Comes with a sprinkler and a thermostat to set the season.
CAVE BEHIND THE WATERFALL
Inside are signs of volcanic activity. This could also explain the hot spring that Garnet discovered and that powers the Spa. In the cave you can find new blobs, coal resources and the very rare Emberpetal which can revive a fainted blob in battle.
11 NEW FRIENDSHIP EVENTS 💛
Level 4: Flint, Lapis, Emerald Level 5: Garnet, Opal, Jasper, Carnelian, Citrine, Emerald, Ruby, Charoi
BLOB PARADISE
Progress Flint's friendship to unlock the new building "Blob Paradise".
You can leave a blob in the Blob Paradise to train it. The maximum possible level is determined by your tournament rank.
The Blob Paradise you can also purchase blueprints for devices which can train your blob stats. These are the blob wheel (Speed), trampoline (Defense) and training target (Attack).
NEW ITEMS: HEALTH + ENERGY BOOSTER Boosters permanently increase a blob's health or energy which helps to level
