EBF Collection: EBF1 done!

Hey guys, Epic Battle Fantasy 1 is ready for its Steam re-release!
But it’s gonna have to wait until the other games are ready before I publish it.

If you want to play this version of EBF1 a month or two early, throw $2 at me on Patreon to get the .swf and .exe files.

Here’s a list of changes:
• Many Pokemon, Lord Canti, Bob-omb, Mog and Catastrophe had their graphics and names changed for copyright reasons.
• New soundtrack added by Forger434, due to copyright reasons.
• Credits page updated, and you can now listen to the soundtrack there.
• Global volume controls added, and a mute option for music.
• Sound effect volume rebalanced – painfully loud sounds are much quieter now.
• Zero difficulty mode added, where foes have 60% of their original stats.
• Some minor bug fixes: incorrect descriptions fixed, Meta bosses correctly absorb attacks, and ghosts can use Death.
• Game speed and fullscreen options will be added once the EBF Collection launcher is ready.

EBF Collection: New Creatures

Hey guys, I’ve gotten back to work – on the Epic Battle Fantasy Collection!

As you may remember, I’m re-releasing 8 of my very old games on Steam, which involves censoring a lot of copyrighted stuff. So here’s some new creatures for Epic Battle Fantasy 1, which are definitely not Pokemon.

This is only the second-biggest change in EBF1, the first being that it’ll need a new soundtrack. More on that later.

15 months of progress!

I thought I’d share some progress photos of our garden. Here’s how different it looks compared to Spring of last year.

Currently we’re shopping around for more garden furniture. Lights, barbecue accessories, and all that. Quarantine would have been quite depressing without the outdoor space.

It’s also time to learn how to replace that old fence in the background of the first photo…

EBF5: New Status Effects

Hey guys, LightningLaser’s EBF5 mod now has some new status effects, so I’ve gone ahead and made some icons for it. He’s also adding back some weapons from the previous games, so the amount of content in the mod keeps growing. We’re still in no rush to release it though.

Here’s a list of names for the new status effects. Some are just variations of existing statuses, but others are rather interesting. If you check out the EBF Discord, maybe you can learn more about them in the modding channel.

Pixel Foes 2

Here’s some more pixel monsters. You might remember these from my pencil sketches from a few years ago.

In other news, I’m now fit enough to play Beat Saber for 4 hours at a time, with only a few breaks. Progress!
