Ova Magica i s a a cute game combining the monster taming and farming genre! It's mainly a life sim mixed with rpg elements.

The new tech demo is mainly about battles! If you have some time left please try it and leave me some feedback so i can improve ♥!


Right out the gate without even playing the game I can say: I hope Ruby and Jade (see animated screenshot above) being twins has a meaningful impact on the story - because from a gameplay perspective, two mayor characters looking the same adds tedium and might look rather lazy on your part.

And to avoid being misunderstood: If you want to keep the game world that way (because it does add to the story) that’s fine. But maybe you shouldn’t put that part into your promotional material.

Hello! Thank you for your Feedback!

Jade and Ruby being twins has a lot of impact on the story. There are also over 10 bachelors in total which look totally different and  most of them most will be revealed the following months.  So i hope this "lazy" impression will not come up.

What do you  mean with 

"If you want to keep the game world that way (because it does add to the story) that’s fine. But maybe you shouldn’t put that part into your promotional material"

So i shouldnt show both sisters together becasue they are looking too similar?

I was talking about your promotional material. Like I said: It’s fine if you want them to be twins, but just looking at this page, all I see are some blobs and three humanoid character - two of which have the same skin and artwork… I was surprised when you wrote that the game had that many characters. That’s great. You should show them in a lineup or at some kind of community dinner or event, so the reader gets the right impression about Ova Magica.

A bit of an aside, but I wanted to give you the heads-up: “over 10 bachelors in total” will be read as “exactly 11 bachelors - one of which isn’t developed yet”. It’d like somebody stating that their game was “in the Top 7 of such-and-such games” meaning “it was in a Top 10 and made seventh place”.

Thank you for explaining this helps a lot!

I will show the variety of characters in the next promotional material better!
My Kickstarter launches in February and for that i am working hard to put all things together and preparing a lot

If you have some time left maybe you try the tech demo and leave me some feedback to improve?

I wish you luck, but I don’t foresee myself having the time or headspace to look into any new games (finished or unfinished) before September 2021… Sorry.
