Here’s a cosplay of Lance from Epic Battle Fantasy, by Stardragon11!
So far I’ve only seen Matt and Lance cosplays. Someone was working on Natalie, but I don’t think they ever finished it.
Stardragon11 has also done a bunch of EBF fanart. Check out their DeviantArt page for more!
EBF4 has fallen in the Greenlight rankings a bit. It’s down to number 48, from 41. Which means a bunch of other games are overtaking it. If Steam keeps approving big batches, then that’s not really going to be a problem, but it does slow things down a bit.
So go vote, blah blah blah, etc.
The number of votes between games is pretty small now.
3,000 more votes will get me into the top 20, and just 1,000 will probably get me into the top 30, meaning I’d have a pretty good chance at getting into the next batch, if they do 25 again. I’ve currently got 14,460 votes, but pretty much everyone who cares has already voted… so things are gonna take some more time.
Meanwhile, I’m playing around with Dragon Bones, and hardware-accelerated skeleton motion-tweening!
That means that I’ll be able to do complex character animations with much better performance.
So if I ever make another game with as much animations as EBF4, it’ll run a lot better on crappy computers, and could even be playable on mobile devices!
So that could open up some new possibilities. Maybe EBF5 could be a mobile game. Maybe not. I’ll worry about that later.
After collecting a bunch of awesome business cards in London, I decided it’s time to make my own. Here’s a few designs I came up with. I think I’ll probably go with the first one.
What do you guys think? Which one is your favorite?
Got a wee animation from Ragnaul.
I feel this is how Natalie might react if she knew Epic Battle Fantasy 4 was at number 41 on Greenlight.
So it looks like Steam have increased their game throughput for Greenlight.
Apparently they’ve recently Greenlit a batch of 100 games, which is a lot more than they usually do.
I had pretty much given up on Epic Battle Fantasy 4 getting through Greenlight, but after seeing this, it might still have a chance. Previously the game was no where near the top 100, but now it’s at number 70!
So if you know anyone who still hasn’t voted and might enjoy the game: get them to vote here! EBF4 currently has 13,453 yes votes. Boost that by 50%, and that should be enough to get it through!
The Steam version of EBF4 will include a new battle area, with stronger versions of bosses, long endurance/survival battles, and some bosses returning from the previous games. New equipment and achievements will be awarded for completing these challenges.
The Steam version will also include all premium content available in the web version, and will not suffer from the restrictions of web browser games; It’ll have fullscreen support, no ads, no audio compression, and it won’t need an internet connection!
It’ll probably cost around $10, but that’s not completely up to me.
