Hey guys, Epic Battle Fantasy 4 on Steam has been updated to version 3. Currently it’s an opt-in beta, but if there’s no major issues, it should be the default version for everyone in a week or two. Your old save files should still work.

This version adds widescreen support, a new UI, and a bunch of new content. A lot of people haven’t played version 2 either, so there’s even more features from that.

If things go smoothly, the mobile port should be done in a month or two as well.

Here’s a full list of changes for version 3 and version 2.

Hey guys, I’m working on the in-app purchases for EBF4 mobile.

Here’s an image of all the money you can spend in the game. In total it’s half the price of EBF5’s in-app purchases. Like in EBF5, you get optional ads after battles unless you pay up, and there’s a bunch of side content you can buy and play at any point.

For regional pricing reference – everything in EBF5 was the equivalent of $8, and EBF4 will use the same price conversion.

And here’s how the title screen looks with all the new links that mobile games are (mostly) required to have. The port is around 55% done now.

Here’s the Epic Battle Fantasy 4 app icon.
The mobile port is 50% done!

A big part of updating the EBF4 map controls for mobile is making sure all of the interactive elements actually have the hitboxes they appear to have. In the original game, you needed to click on an NPC’s feet to talk to them, or on the tile in front of a sign to read it, for example. This was pretty awkward, even on PC, and has been fixed now. NPCs, foes, and slime cats now have two tiles you can click on, and smaller objects like item pedestals have been centered better on their single tile. This is especially useful for touch controls where there is less feedback, but helps a lot with mouse controls too.
