Halloween

Hiya Folks!

Ronja here to give you the big juicy details now that Halloween is done and dusted and the decorations have started coming down.

We’ve been slowly accumulating a hoard of Halloween decorations to put up every year consisting of lights, bunting, cups, napkins, and big pile of scary masks. This year we managed to find some spooky tablecloths, spiderweb, and a pair tacky-cute wine glasses. We also had the absolutely terrible idea to build and dress a scarecrow to put in the driveway with a lantern in it’s hand, and managed to spook our neighbours, loads of trick or treaters, and mainly ourselves whenever we’d catch a glimpse of it out the windows.

We’ve built a tradition of having a couple friends over around Halloween to cook and carve pumpkins, as well as enjoying some spooky drinks and way too many sweets. We always cook a lot with the pumpkin, and I try to slot in at least one new thing each time, so this year we ended up with pumpkin soup, pumpkin pasta, pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice liqueur, pumpkin whisky, and some pumpkin puree for Ethel – and we save the seeds from all the pumpkins to be roasted after carving. This year we got a total of 11 pumpkins – 2 for cooking and 9 for carving – and while I was busy cooking, baking, and infusing drinks, Matt and our friends carved all the lanterns over Friday and Saturday.

On Sunday (Halloween) we got a total of 98 trick or treaters! We dressed up ourselves and the front of the house and managed to get some very good reactions from kids and adults alike. Some kids we’re a bit scared to approach the smiling man handing out sweets with the scarecrow standing guard, but would eventually approach at their parents encouragement. We got many compliments, and saw a lot of amazing costumes too. Can’t wait for next year!

Android Game Keys

Hey guys. I’ve figured out how to give out free copies of my Android games, so if any patrons want EBF1, Brawl Royale, Mecha Dress Up, or Cat Cafe on Android for free, let me know and I’ll send you a “promotion code” that you can redeem in the Play Store. It also works if you want to give the codes to your friends. Since each game is around $1, that’s a lot of codes you could get if you want.

It’s basically the same deal as with Steam keys – if you give me enough money on Patreon you can request Steam keys that are worth that much. This offer stands whether you’re a current patron or have been in the past. (you can ask me how much you’ve paid in total)

It’s a bit more complicated for in-app purchases, but I’ll figure out something when EBF5 is published too.

Anyway, that’s basically the main perk of my Patreon page. The (mostly) finished games from the EBF Collection are also available on there individually, which at the moment includes Bullet Heaven 1, The Kitten Game, Mecha Dress Up, EBF1, and EBF2.

Fanart: Monoliths

Hi Folks!

Halloween is fast approaching, and we’ve been busy bees getting decorations set up and making the house peak spooky for this weekend. Looks like we’ll get to see some friends, and might even get trick or treaters after last year’s lockdown Halloween. We’ve got far too many sweets, spooktacular costumes, and the decorations are genuinely scary this time. You’ll hear all about our pumpkins, outfits, and atmosphere after the weekend and in the mean time, here’s some slightly spooky fanart from Mr Ghast to ease us into the Halloween mood.

Epic Battle Fantasy 1 is on Android!

Epic Battle Fantasy 1 is live on the Google Play Store!

This updated version has a new checkpoint system, a new soundtrack, some modified enemies, and a more user-friendly interface.

Please go buy it and leave a nice review.
If enough people do that, I’ll port Epic Battle Fantasy 2, 3, and 4. (5 is almost done)

As usual, iOS versions are coming later – I’m still learning a lot about Android development.
