Hey guys, I’m still gradually fixing the map colors in the mobile version of EBF5. As you may recall, filters don’t work on mobile, and I often used them to change objects’ hues. So I’m going through all of the maps and using alternative methods of transforming colors. Most maps will end up looking the same, but sometimes I’ll have a bit of fun and try out some new colors, and below you can see an example of that.

Anyway, it’s a mostly tedious process, but I’m getting through it.

I’m gradually improving the performance of EBF5 on mobile devices. It’s still noticeably laggy, but totally playable on higher-end devices. Hard to say exactly what causes the slowdowns, since the game was never designed for phones, and is not particularly optimized in any way. It’s going to take some time, and some trial and error.

Also… graphics filters aren’t supported by Flash in GPU mode on mobile, which is the mode I want to be using for graphics to render much faster. (even vector graphics are handled by the GPU on mobile – something that Flash on PC never did!)

It turns out that I used a LOT of filters for scenery hue changes. This is going to take some time to remedy – I’m gonna have to recolour a ton of scenery. Chances are I won’t bother making it identical to the PC version – some maps will look a little different, and others may have totally different colour schemes.

Here’s a tool I made if you want to see what the maps look like currently, it shows the maps with and without filters: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1qch3i2w0gcodx7/map%20test.exe?dl=0

Hey guys, I made some icons for all the weapons I’ve been drawing lately. I can’t use them for much since they’re not my designs, but I’m gonna drop the source files here in case any Flash users want to play around with them for non-profit uses.

And here’s the last batch of weapons: a bunch of well-known video game guns, plus their accompanying sidearm, in the style of Epic Battle Fantasy 5.

I think this is my favourite set of the bunch.
Which guns can you identify?

Yo, here’s some famous video game bows in the style of Epic Battle Fantasy 5! Unlike the swords from earlier, some of these look fairly practical.

Can you tell which game’s they’re from?

Also I’m taking requests for which guns to draw. It’s gonna be hard to find guns that are the right shape and level of complexity. Here’s what they need to look like.
