Ethel’s 1st Birthday!

Hi Folks,

Hope you’re all rested and refreshed to face the new week!

This weekend we celebrated Ethel’s 1st Birthday, with lots of presents, treats, games, and fun. It was pretty rainy, but we made the most of it with plenty snuggles and baking birthday Pupcakes with banana, carrots, peanut butter, and extra PB on top for “icing”. She absolutely loved them, and since we made so many we also made sure to deliver some for the nearby family puppers as thanks for all the birthday presents she got.

Fanart: NoLegs Emotes

Hiya Folks!

Here’s some cool fanart of the NoLegs emotes from Myntz. The original emotes were made for the website and later imported to the Epic Battle Fantasy Discord server, and sadly due to a website update they are only available on Discord now. RIP in peace.

BH2: Works on Mobile

Hey guys, I wanted to see if a mobile port of Bullet Heaven 2 was feasible, so I spent some time today fiddling with the game.In just 3 hours I got the game to a playable state on my Galaxy Note 8. It works great with a stylus, and even detects my Xbox controller. The framerate is pretty high with the graphics settings turned down, even on Heavenly difficulty.

That’s the fun stuff done, the other 99% would be just polishing off the rough edges. The controls would need to be simplified for touch controls, the memory management would need to be improved to stop the occasional garbage-collector stutters, and I would have to consider adding a vertical aspect ratio as that may make more sense on mobile. Overall, it looks like less work than porting the EBF games.

Anyway, that’s not gonna happen until I finish the EBF5 port and the EBF Collection.

Also, don’t let anyone tell you Flash doesn’t run on mobile. Flash with Starling has incredibly fast performance!
