Clover Town museum stretch goal met, thank you! And more information about "Pool Area & Swimsuit Outfits"

Together we reached our next stretch goal - The Clover Town Museum! Thank you so much for all your support and making this possible♥!
A little reminder what we imagine for the museum stretch goal:
The Clover Town Museum will not only catalogue your achievements and progress, but will open up new questlines and activities. It will really help to reflect on your time in Ova Magica!
You will be able to donate to the museum various items and objects that you find from your adventures (or even grow!). For important items, you may even receive a lore writing that gives more background to the history of the town! Help fill it up with things from Clover Town, and enjoy the beauty in the gemstones and minerals collection, or take in the spirit of nature from the botanical garden with local flora. As you help develop the museum, you will unlock special rewards and new items.
Please share your additionalideas and suggestionsfor the museum in the comments! So we can create something you will enjoy and love!
New Stretch Goal: Pool Area & Swimsuit Outfits
Inspiration
Some of you may have seen the game "Azure Dreams" in the description under inspiration. This is one of my(Claudia) favorite games when I was a kid. I especially loved the pool and the beautifully drawn 2d potraits of the characters in swimwear.
Scenes from the PSX classic "Azure Dreams"
I've been dreaming of designing a pool area and great swimwear for all the dateable characters in Ova Magica as well. Who knows, maybe together we can make it reality?
Here is what we have in mind for this goal:
It will unlock your new construction plan for Clover Town. After you have collected enough materials and money you can commission the pool from Charoi the towns builder!
The indoor pool, is in addition to the beach open all year, even in the cold season Frigus or when it rains. The special thing is you will be able go on dates there and each of the romanceable characters has its own swimsuit outfit and new 2d potraits! And who knows maybe some blob trainers with a special passion for water themed blobs are waiting for you? With unlocking the pool area you will also get some new water themed decorations for you farm and house and toys for your blobs!
And what about you? What do you particularly want for the new pool area? Share your ideas with us in the comments♥!
Indie game Shoutout: Aveliana
As a game developer, I know how hard it can be sometimes to make your dream come true. That's why Aveliana's Kickstarter campaign caught my eye right away! Because it is developed by a solo developer who follows his dream with a lot of ambition, passion and love!
A few genres in indie videogames are overrepresented such as platformer, Metroidvania, or rogue-like! With Aveliana I want to bring novelty to indie games with fun and original gameplay! Aveliana is an infiltration-action-adventure game!
Aveliana is a 2.5D game with unique gameplay: based on the detection pattern of enemies, you find your own route through the world. All the enemies can be avoided in the idea of a commandos-like. The gameplay is ultra-dynamic because it is focused on a single character, Aveliana"
Thank you for reading and all your support for Ova Magica♥!

Additional blob world stretch goal met, thank you! And more information about Clover Town Museum goal

Hello again! In just over a day we meet another stretch goal, and I really want to thank everybody again. It's just amazing how strong the community in Ova Magica is!!!
The goal we just meet is the additional blob world. Because who could turn down more exploring in these strange weird worlds where you can find special items and discoveries!?
The additional blob world will be decided by the community, as it was all of you who helped to achieve this. We will run polls and surveys asking about the themes and designs you would like to see and then we will work to implement them!
I also just wanted to say thank you for all the great ideas for blob games and toys you have posted. They are really great! I am always welcome to hear from you, so if you are still thinking of some, just write me!
New Stretch Goal: The Clover Town Museum!
Now the goal we aim to achieve is the Clover Town Museum goal! This will be a new location that you can unlock and visit that will not only catalogue your achievements and progress, but will open up new questlines and activities. It will really help to reflect on your time in Ova Magica!
You will be able to donate to the museum various items and objects that you find from your adventures (or even grow!). For important items, you may even receive a lore writing that gives more background to the history of the town! Help fill it up with things from Clover Town, and enjoy the beauty in the gemstones and minerals collection, or take in the spirit of nature from the botanical garden with local flora. As you help develop the museum, you will unlock special rewards and new items.
We are already well on the way there and i can't wait for us to meet this goal together!!! Having somewhere like a big musuem that will help to catalogue all your discoveries the game and give you special items when you reach milestones will add a lot to the gameplay.
"Sunnyside is a farming JRPG with modern gameplay and deep social sim aspects. Create your character as you win the auction to a recently abandoned farm in the town of Sunnyside. You find yourself surrounded in a big world breathing with life and adventure to find in every corner. Almost everything in Sunnyside is interactable. You can craft, build, and plan to your heart’s content. With so many things to do in Sunnyside, you won’t find a moment wondering what to do next, there is so much gameplay in our little farming game."
Thank you for reading so far and thank you believing in Ova Magica so much!!! I am so happy that you really like my work. We will talk again very soon when I begin bringing more spotlight on other characters and game mechanics!

New pool area and swimsuit outfits unlocked! House expansion goal revealed!

– Tue, Feb 02, 2021 at 01:54:17 PM
Hi everybody! I hope you have a happy Sunday! I am really happy today because we meet another stretch goal because of all of you. Thank you so much!
Now, the new swimming pool location will be added to Clover Town. Open all year round, it will be a great place to visit and go on dates even in the wintery season Frigus! As well as the new special swimsuit outfits and character portraits, water themed blobtrainers, and new events/dates you will experience when visiting the pool, from the pool you will also be able to buy a host of new items and toys for your blobs. Perhaps you'd like to take home a mini paddling pool for your blobs to make use of when it's summer? Please look forward to it!
Next stretch goal: House expansion and rebuilding!
Now it's time to reveal the next stretch goal and updated list, and this time it is thanks to a community suggestion! This is to expand your house and make it fancier! Not just in terms of crafting/buying new items, furniture or decoration. But now you will be able to remodel the house itself! Gather the materials to first upgrade your house size and ask Charoi to build it. Then, later on when you have more progress and materials again, you can then add a second floor with additional rooms to your farmhouse too! You will also be able to remodel to change the floors and walls of your house so you can create themed house designs too! This same mechanics may also apply to some other buildings in Clover Town you help build too, so there will be a lot added by this goal!
Animated: Decorate your home
We think it will be really great to see see what kind of wallpaper and flooring designs you all want to include. Would you like this? If so, then share the project on social media with your suggestion and using #OvaMagica hashtag. The best suggestions we will include in-game!
Community reward teaser: Blob Encyclopaedia!
You probably see that the next in-game content stretch goal is hidden but one special is revealed. This is the community reward! Ova Magica only gets this far thanks to the effort and dedication of all of you so it is an opportunity for us to express our thanks a bit more - when this is reached, all backers will receive an additional reward of the Blob Encyclopaedia! As we get closer, we will reveal more details about it. Please stay in touch with updates and help us by sharing the campaign with your friends and on social media♥!

"What?! How does that even work?!
At any time, with the press of a button or mouse wheel scroll, you can switch between adventure and action mode. The whole game - story, characters, gameplay - everything has been built around this premise that you can progressin various ways. Will you choose to solve mysteries with your brain, or will you break your way through?"

Play with your blobs funded and next stretch goals! Thank you!!!
about 5 years ago
– Thu, Jan 28, 2021 at 07:58:56 PM
Hello again! Just a day since our last update and wow, the goal for playing with blobs is already met! Thank you all again!!!
Are you looking forward to playing with your blob friends? Perhaps you have some ideas for games, items, or objects you would like to play together with? If so, then leave a comment below or if you have ideas when you are out and about just tweet at me on twitter, @ClaudiaTheDev!
Now I introduce the next stretch goals, they are for additional blob world content - the Clover Town museum - and a brand new pool/spa area in the game with special swimsuit outfits and events!
Let's go together!
For the additional blob world content, you have likely already seen from the description that over the course of the game you will go on expeditions to special worlds through magic portals! When this goal is met, a new world and more of this content will be added which means opening up more options in the questlines and giving you new environments and activities to do! Together, we'll design this blob world.You, the community, will help to design what theme it will have, and what special blobs and items you can find there through surveys and polls because this is thanks to the community. And remember that the blob worlds are also procedurally generated, so having a totally new world adds a lot of content because it means each time you get another set of different experiences. It is the perfect dream for every blob adventurer and explorer!
Bachelor Introduction: Flint!
Now is one of the big moments you've all been waiting for! I will begin introducing more info about Clover Town's eligible bachelors and bachelorettes one by one! First of all is Flint!
Clover Town's hunky blob breeder!
Flint is Clover Town's hunky blob breeder. Athletic, strong, and confident, he knows all there is to taking care of blobs, and his body is well built from years of farming and stacking food and goodies up for the blobs under his care. He's always accompanied everywhere by his loyal Hedgehog blob! Always happy to lend a hand, he does have one very significant weakness... if he sees someone being mean and nasty to blobs, he gets VERY angry...!!! Will your romance together grow to be strong?
Do you like Flint? Is he your type? If so, leave a comment or write on twitter! I love to hear your thoughts!
Game shoutout: Sword Of The Necromancer
I want to end this update by giving a shoutout to a great game made by some lovely people. It is Sword Of The Necromancer, and the release of it is today!
In Sword Of The Necromancer, you play as an ex-rogue adventurer called Tama who seeks to bring back the priestess, Koko, from the dead. A thrilling dungeon-crawler RPG with rogue-lite elements, you turn your foes into allies and reach the depths of the Necromancer's dungeon, to defeat the guardians and gain enough soul power to bring Koko back from the dead, no matter the cost. It looks like a lot of fun and you should click the link to try check out their game on Steam!
