EBF5: New Flairs

Hey guys, here’s a preview of the new flairs coming to EBF5 v2.
Pictured are their icons, followed by their in-battle appearance.
You might see some familiar faces in there… see how many you can identify!

In related news, if you want to have more input into the game’s development, you should join the EBF Discord server. Every once in a while I’ll be looking for suggestions on there – the glasses, dog tags, ring and cube were actually fan suggestions.

EBF5: Foe Competition Runner-Ups

Hey guys, here’s 4 foes that I strongly considered using in EBF5.
They don’t win anything, but I’d like to share them with ya’ll, since they’re pretty cool.

The main issue with these is that I just couldn’t imagine them being as interesting to fight as the other foes I picked. Some really unique attack sprites could have helped.

My main consideration when picking winners was “Do I really want to animate this?”, and usually that means the design has to feel really fresh, and be something that I wish I had thought of. I don’t know exactly what I’m looking for until I see it, I suppose.

Anyway, I hope everyone had a lot of fun with their pixel art, and thanks for participating. I’ll probably keep playing around with the retro style in future.

EBF5: Mermaid and Totom

Hey guys, here’s the last 2 enemies from the EBF5 foe competition!
The competition is now over, and I’ll do a little post to feature the runner-ups later.

Anyway, here’s Mermaid by Lester Vine, and Totom by Jay again.

Please throw some suggestions for a name for the mermaid, as she’ll likely have a few lines to speak. Here’s a list of possible names. I’m leaning towards Coralia or Melody.
