Blob Design Contest Winners!
about 3 years ago – Sat, Mar 13, 2021 at 11:07:05 PM

We are sorry to keep you waiting for so long! The decision was really hard, because we have received so many wonderful designs. That's why we decided that there will be not one but 3 main winners! The prizes will be sent at the same time as the Backer Rewards (2022). All winners will receive a message regarding their address and desired platform before the rewards are sent. 

We are also continuing to work on Backerkit to give you access as soon as possible!

The three main winners!

The choice is very subjective and was not based on the "best" or most detailed design. We chose the blobs that we would like to see most in the game and that also fit the breeding mechanics. In the end, we actually had over 15 blobs we wanted to pick, but we had to choose somehow... Please do not be disappointed if your blob is not one of the winners.

 Here we present you our realization of the three proud and super cute winners!

Game Shoutout - Kinder World: a game of houseplants, healing and kindness

Click here for the Kickstarter campaign of Kinder World

I've shared this great game before and I'm doing it again! Why? The developer team behind it is committed to nature, among other things, by collecting donations as part of the #GamesForNature campaign. I think they deserve some support back and they have really great stretch goals! Help them to reach their goals♥

Kinder World is a mobile game of houseplants, healing and practicing kindness. ❤️

Take care of your plants and yourself in a relaxing and lush atmosphere of your own design, completing daily acts of self-love that make the world a kinder place.

Players nurture their plants in-game by nurturing themselves in the real world, completing evidence-based wellbeing exercises like stretching, breathing, and expressing gratitude.

Practice showing kindness to others by sharing supportive messages and plant cuttings with other players in Kinder World.  Collective player choices like these, and in-game events will influence the growth of a shared Community Tree over time.

Last Reminder - Failed Payments

You have only half a day left to fix your payment if Kickstarter shows you an error. Otherwise, you will unfortunately lose your reward. There are still over 100 failed payments, so it's best to check again♥.

Small progress report

We are still evaluating the blob design contest and preparing the Backerkit pledge manager. There all backers can change their reward and get additional add-ons! In our next update we will announce the winning designs!

I (Claudia) also started with the customization stretch goal. It's still very rough and WIP but the technical base is done. The UI is just a quick prototype and will be improved. I want to implement color fields and color pickers for the hair, 

The technical base for changing your outfit, skin color, hairstyle, hair color, eyes and eye color is done. Now I have to add many options. At the beginning of the game there are only a few hairstyles to choose from, when you unlock the beauty salon you will have more options.

Is there a particular hairstyle that you want or anything else♥?

Breeding teaser

Here you can see some of the thousand cow blob breeds! The top row shows some possible outcomes when you breed a cow blob with one of the 3 starters. Do you already have an idea how your perfect cow blob will look?

 Last days to back - The Way of Wrath  

The Way of Wrath is an open-world role-playing adventure with full RPG story experience, companions, romance, crafting, tactical battles, and rich exploration.  Gather your party and experience the world through the eyes of the ancient humans in a beautiful hand-crafted world inspired by the ancient earth.

Hello everyone! The campaign for Ova Magica just ended!!! We're looking now on what we achieved together and we're blown away. we didn't imagine that the campaign would come so far, and to the point where every single stretch goal and feature for the game was reached. This feels so surreal... to be honest, we only expected to get through about half the stretches! But it's all thanks to every single one of you, without you none of this would have happened. We'll make sure that Ova Magica is a great game that you'll cherish for a long time to come. For every single one of you of the 4,281 who backed us we'll do our best to make sure it's awesome!

Now with the campaign over, there'll be periodic updates and devlogs on the updates page here, but for day-to-day bits and pieces, and to interact with the main community - We strongly suggest that you join the community Discord, and also wishlist the game on Steam!

As you may have heard... yes, every single stretch goal for the game is unlocked! The world of Ova Magica will be a really in-depth place with many things to do, and the fact all stretch goals will be in-game will make it an even richer world. It would make this update way too long to write about every single one again now, but those with keen eyes will see that each has their own description on updates in the past!

How it continues

First things first, we will work on organizing the backer roles for the Discord community. Please bear with us on this, as we need KS to confirm the pledges so we can have the list of appropriate roles to give to people.

By the end of next week(ish), we'll also have the details of the blob design contest finale and winners, and be ready to make an announcement about that!

All backers who pledged for a tier that comes with a custom design and a reward to create something in-game, over the next 4-5 days we will contact you to confirm your details and start the process!

In order to process rewards and make fulfilment easier, we'll also be setting up the usage of Backerkit. Using Backerkit, we'll also send out surveys in order to confirm the correct details to deliver items to, and to be able to provide the appropriate platforms for digital goods. You'll also be able to add additional items onto your pledge, or order additional goodies if you wish to do so through Backerkit also!

Going further into the future, more substantial development logs and updates regarding the progress and development of game features will be posted on the updates tab on Kickstarter, and of course we'll continue to be active on the comments here as well. As mentioned above however, to be in the heart of the community we'd recommend that you jump into Discord, wishlist on Steam and follow on Twitter too!

This campaign has been so phenomenal and every single one of you deserves my thanks! Now the team and Top Hat Studios, are going to get back to working on the game after an exhausting campaign - and we cannot wait to show you what we are capable of creating now!

Last update before the grand finale!

The last 13 hours have begun! It has been an incredible journey that we have been on together! I ask you one last time to tell everyone about the campaign and share it on social media♥!

And we have reached all but one of the stretch goals. It's going to be insanely close but it seems like we can still make it and unlock Blob Fusion! If everyone increases their contribution just a little bit or adds an add-on, we've made it! Maybe you have some friends who would be happy about a game copy or in your home is still room for the cuddly Clara? 

I look forward to the last hours with you! Hard to believe that it will soon be over! The success of Ova Magica is only possible thanks to you and our team is so incredibly grateful for your support, trust and that you make it possible for us to make our vision of Ova Magica come true! We are really looking forward to working on the stretch goals and making the game even better!

I'll leave you with a few more impressions of Ova Magica and hope you enjoy the grand finale♥!
