EBF4 on Humble Store!

4 Replies

For anyone who doesn’t like Steam or wants a completely DRM-free copy of Epic Battle Fantasy 4, I’ve set up my own store page for it, using Humble Bundle’s system. It’s the exact same version as on Steam, except without the Steam features, and I also get a bigger share of the revenue.

Omg, click here to see!

Probably should have tried to set this up earlier, but whatevs.

Tidying Up After Steam

14 Replies

Yo, it’s almost been two weeks since EBF4’s Steam launch, and things have been kind of hectic, but they’re calming down now.

Here’s some of the stuff I’ve been up to:

• Dealing with technical problems for customers.
There’s not been very many people with problems, but it only takes a few to become annoying. And there’s still a few issues that I have no idea how to solve. I’d rather give out refunds than deal with this stuff, but Steam doesn’t let me do that personally. D:

That’s another reason why I don’t want to release the game on Mac and Linux. It’s hard enough for me to help out people on Windows! Imagine trying to do tech support for operating systems you’re not familiar with… hah! I’m not going to put myself in that position. Nope. No way.

• Fixing bugs.
There’s not been a lot of serious issues, but there’s still a few things that I’ve had to fix, including one broken achievement. I’ll be updating the game within a day or two with these fixes.

• Giving out free copies.
I’ve given out over 500 free copies of EBF4 already. To YouTubers, Fan artists, reviewers, and people like that. But the biggest chunk went to groups that do game giveaways.

• Reading reviews and watching Let’s Plays.
It’s interesting to see what people think of the new content, especially those playing on Epic difficulty. It was supposed to be incredibly hard, but perfectly managable if you use some strategy. And that seems to be more or less what people are reporting.

• Looking for other distribution platforms.
Good Old Games turned me down because they felt that EBF4 wouldn’t sell well, since there’s already a free version. Fair enough. The Humble Bundle guys seem to be more interested in the game though, and it should show up on the Humble Store sometime soon.

I’ve also been contacted by a few of the lesser known bundles, and I’ll try to stick EBF4 into some of those too.

Anyway, I can’t wait until all of the above is out of the way, and I can finally work on something new.

Liddian made some videos of EBF4’s end-game content. I think he’s still the only one to do so. They might be worth checking out if you’re considering buying the expanded game, or if you need help with these parts.

Here’s the endless battle. I didn’t actually think it was possible to survive this long:

Here’s the Dark Player boss rush:

Here’s the Miniboss rush:

Fanart Incentive Scheme!

Hey guys.
I feature a lot of EBF fanart on the Facebook page and on this website, and have decided to start giving free Steam copies of EBF4 to anyone who gets featured. I’m also going to retroactively award some copies to people who have been featured in the past.

Here’s the fanart I’ve featured here so far: kupogames.com/category/fanart/

Also, for anyone who’s done fanart, you should go post it in Steam’s community section for EBF4. It’s kind of empty right now, even though a lot of fanart already exists for the game.
