Hiya Folks,
Epic Battle Fantasy 5 now has badges on Kongregate!
Since Flash browser support is ending this year, the game won’t be playable for much longer and you’ve got a limited window for grabbing those badges. If you really want them, you know what to do.
You can import your saved games from Steam and other platforms, but note that v2 savefiles won’t be compatible and might cause some problems.
Here’s a coloured version of a Newgrounds fanart contest winner from last year, by Sheebs.
Here’s some more iconic video game weapons in the Epic Battle Fantasy 5 art style. Turns out that memorable staves are much rarer than swords, but I think I managed to find some cool ones. Which ones do you recognize?
Hey guys, I drew some famous video game swords in the Epic Battle Fantasy 5 style. These are super-definitely not going to be used for anything because I don’t have permission to use them.
See if you can figure out where each sword is from!
Hey guys, I made a video showing off some scenes from an EBF5 mod that’s being worked on. It adds new side-quests, skills and harder enemy behaviour.
There’s a new mod channel on the EBF Discord, where you can talk about this and other mod-related stuff.
When the mod is ready, it’ll be available for everyone who owns EBF5 on Steam, and should be compatible with your existing saves.
Hey guys, I’m chatting with EBF modders and trying to figure out what is possible and what isn’t. With current Flash decompiling tools, it looks like it’s fairly straightforward to change text and images. Editing code is also possible but a bit tricky. We’ve also got the debugging tools to view errors and variables while Flash games are running.
A lot can already be done with that, but it’s still somewhat limited, and adding completely new animations, for example, is more trouble than it’s worth. So I’m thinking about releasing the full compilable source code for my games, starting with EBF3, and then moving on to all of the others eventually. I’m currently looking into the best way to handle this. They’re all made with older versions of Adobe Flash Pro, which isn’t sold any more, so you don’t have to worry about buying any expensive software. (if you know what I mean) But a decent amount of Flash animation skills or object-oriented-programming knowledge will be required to get much done.
We’ve made a modding channel on the EBF Discord, so feel free to check it out if you want to learn about modding, or just to annoy people with your ideas.
Anyway, here’s some new EBF5 skill icons that I’ve made for modders to use.
They’re all for existing enemy skills, that are now usable by players.
In my next post I’ll show off the mod that EBF fan Lightning Laser is working on.
I should be working on the mobile version of EBF5, but you know, a lot’s going on in the world right now.
