V2.0 Steam Beta!

Hi Folks,

The EBF5v2.0 Steam Beta is now live!

For a spoiler free summary of all the new content and features you can check out this Steam announcement and here’s the official v2 trailer (this one does contain some spoilers). You are more than welcome to stream and make videos of the v2.0 content, but please do not spoil anything in the titles, thumbnails or video descriptions until the beta is over!

To take part and gain access to the new updated content you need to own the game on Steam. From your Steam library list of games right click on Epic Battle Fantasy 5, select Properties, go to the Betas tab, and from the drop down menu select v2.0. You may need to update and/or restart Steam first. Once the update is downloaded and you start the game you’ll want to make sure you’re on the right version by checking that the main menu says “Deluxe version 2.0.3 (or higher) BETA BUILD”. Your old saves should be compatible with the update, but you should make sure to have backups in case there are any problems. At this time the update is in English only, and we’ll hopefully have the other languages ready in about a month or so.

To report any bugs you find please head on over to the EBF Discord channel and post them into #ebf5_bug_reports. Please include as much information as possible such as a description of what happened and screenshots. For the most part it should (fingers crossed) be quite stable since we’ve already done a round of testing and weeded out a bunch of bugs.

Fanart and v2

Hiya Folks!

In today’s exciting game dev news Matt’s rebalanced the way debuffs work in EBF5. There was no way to defend against them before, but now the Morale, Brave and Stuffed status effects can block debuff effects from direct attacks. Debuffs from status effects aren’t effected.

To soothe your Monday, here’s a very cute pixel fanart by Alexis (Meowpixels) from the EBF Discord.

Hiya Folks,

We’ve just reached a very exciting milestone with the v2 update that you’ll hear more about in a couple days time. Very excited to share it with you all!

In the meantime enjoy this very cute furry fanart of the gang by Lynn Snow from the EBF Discord.

Fanart: Matt

Hiya Folks!

Exactly a year ago we were crunching out the final touches to EBF5 getting it ready for release, and now here we are again smoothing out v2. We’ve both been varying degrees of sick recently, but we’ve managed to power through and keep up a good pace with work to keep v2 moving along.

Here’s a cute fanart of Matt from hkbk-camb.

Icons and Stream

Hi Folks!

EBF5v2 is getting close to the finish line and this week we’ve been testing it together with the Patreon supporters. In the midst of bug fixes Matt made these mini icons for the new custom game modes.

We also had some excitement on Monday night when Matt decided to stream himself plying EBF5 to showcase some of the new content coming in the v2 update. The stream was quite laggy at times, but it was Matt’s first ever stream and we definitely learned a lot in addition to having blast! In case you missed it, you can watch the stream here (this will obviously contain some spoilers for EBF5v2).
