Hi Folks,
The Steam Lunar New Year Sale is now on until Feb 15th 10AM Pacific!
You can find Epic Battle Fantasy 5 for 25% off, and the rest of the EBF series for 60% off here.
There might be a related seasonal event happening in EBF5 around this time of year that you should definitely check out!
Flashplayer is kill – Flash games will (in most cases) no longer run in browsers starting yesterday. In case you haven’t heard yet, some alternatives include BlueMaxima’s Flashpoint Infinity app (I’ve tested it, my games work on there), the Supernova plugin for Chrome, or the Pale Moon browser. I do think Flashpoint Infinity is the simplest solution though – once you set it up it’s really easy to use. I think it’s Windows-only though.
Ruffle can already play a lot of ActionScript 2 games in browsers, including Epic Battle Fantasy 1, The Kitten Game, and Mecha Dress Up Game. The games actually run much smoother than they did in Flash! Newgrounds has Ruffle enabled for games that work with it. I’m excited to see the day when Ruffle can run ActionScript 3 games – a lot more people could potentially play Epic Battle Fantasy 5 in HD without lag! If you have any spare money lying around and want to preserve Flash games, I really encourage you to donate to the project. (you can also donate your time by reporting bugs and stuff)
You’ve also got the option to buy my latest games on Steam and Itch.io, which include a lot more content than the free versions. And in a few months, the Epic Battle Fantasy Collection will be available to purchase too, which will include ALL of my older games with slight updates.
Anyway, here’s some EBF5 art that Ronja made. Very cool.
Hey guys, I’ve made some new community collectables for Epic Battle Fantasy 5 on Steam: animated avatars! You can get these using Steam points or something – I dunno, I don’t really pay attention to that stuff. There’s other item types I could add, but it all seems like a lot of work for a feature that I don’t personally care about (and Valve ain’t paying me extra for it). Anyway, they will be available soon once Valve approves them.
I figured I’d share the images here so you can use them for whatever you like.
Hey guys, LightningLaser’s EBF5 mod now has some new status effects, so I’ve gone ahead and made some icons for it. He’s also adding back some weapons from the previous games, so the amount of content in the mod keeps growing. We’re still in no rush to release it though.
Here’s a list of names for the new status effects. Some are just variations of existing statuses, but others are rather interesting. If you check out the EBF Discord, maybe you can learn more about them in the modding channel.
