    Hi Josh! Thank you so much for covering Ova Magica on your channel! It's an honour♥ I really appreciate your feedback about moving trees and thanks to Josh you will be able to move trees in full game! I am also so happy that you enjoyed your time in the game so far. I was worried that the "Game of Love" festival might be not enjoyable because it's a bit different and new from usual festivals and i was so glad you liked it! Also Happy New Year 2023♥!

    I'm glad the game lets you freely choose whatever outfit & hair you want. I admit the colors are pretty bright, it doesn't always bug me but I just got finished messing around with Beat Saber on the VR & my head/eyes hurt a little from that. Also a little nervous about the command thing in battle cause I'm unsure how well I can quickly press the button when it gets to the part to give commands unless I misunderstood something. I should still be able to try & I'm probably just seeing things cause I thought it was going fast.
    I follow the creator on Twitter, this is going to be fun when it comes out.

    • @katrin428
      @katrin428 Год назад

      Well I don't thin you have to be quick with your reactions in battle. if it's your turn you will be prompted with some options like "attacks", "defend", etc. If you're still unsure you can rewatch josh's stream to this game :)

  • @MarthChan
    @MarthChan Год назад

    I am still so stoked for this game! I regret not backing the early builds. I'll just have to live vicariously through videos like this. I know a lot of people commented on the saturation, but personally, I liked the high saturation. For one, it made the world very vibrant and cheerful to look at. And two, I felt that it helped with the theme of the game and made things easier to identify. But the developer adding saturation options sounds like a solid plan, especially for those who were experiencing eye discomfort. The saturation is something I'm very fond of in Re:Legend too. I don't like when the world is flat or washed out.
    I'm really looking forward to this game...so much! I'm rooting for the developer!

    I'm so glad to hear that this game is looking good: the concept has sounded amazing since the start, but it also seemed quite ambitious! But the customization looks great, the battling sounds engaging without being overwhelming, and I'm pleased to hear that the festivals are good! Do we know yet what sort of romance options there will be (if any)? And if there is romance, are there any LGBTQ options?

    • @AuthenticallyAmie
      @AuthenticallyAmie Год назад

      Luckily, you'll be free to pursue any character, regardless of gender. The male romance options revealed so far are Lapis, Flint, Emerald, Jasper, Saphir, and Carnelian and the female ones will be Jade, Ruby, Lazuli, Citrine, Charol, Opal, and Garnet. :)

    I was looking for farming game with monsters collection. Intially, I was put off by overly cutesy super bright colours but after watching your gameplay I got me interested and love idea of having my own blob. I tend to darken the screen on the Switch when playing in the evening. The game is worth a look.

    The game looks nice but a lot of assets feel out of place with the art style
    Like the character portraits look nice but they feel weird having such detailed portraits right on top of really flat and boring textures.
