EBF5: Blast from the Past

That last post was by Ronja btw. I’m still at home.

I’m working on an area in EBF5 where you can fight monsters from the previous games. The monsters will be as authentic as possible – sticking to the animations and mechanics from those games. The EBF1 monsters don’t even have evade and accuracy. Oh, and you can only use 2 or 3 players at a time against them. All those debuff attacks they used back then are going to be a lot more devastating in EBF5’s buff system…

There’s going to be 6 or so foes from each game, including 2 bosses from each.

I was going to put them all into a “Temple of Time” where you can visit different dimensions, but I’ve dropped that idea as it would be hard to explain why the graphics and mechanics are different. So I’ve got a different location planned, one that should explain the premise better.

EBF5: Monster Cards

So it turns out that I’m cursed, and I can’t do any creative stuff for fun anymore.
I’m turning my Fakemon art into collectable cards in EBF5. They’ll give small permanent perks, like Steroids do, but should be more fun to collect.

This also means that I should stop spoiling all the art, and I’ll keep the rest of the Fakemon a secret.

EBF5 Speedrunning

Hey guys, here’s an EBF5 speedrun video that shows off some glitches in EBF5. You can glitch your way to different parts of the map if you change your save file at the right time. I think preparing multiple saved games in advance may be cheating though…

Here’s a speedrun of the first area without any glitches.
I do wonder if EBF5 will be as much fun to speedrun as EBF4 was, as that one had some really fun glitches.

In other news, I’ve been tinkering with my mobile gaming setup.
Pokemon Clover is a fantastic ROM hack – I grin like an idiot when playing it – but I can only recommend it to people who love edgy meme humour. I’m looking forward to trying more creative Pokemon hacks.

EBF5: New Foes

Hey guys, here’s 5 new enemies for the upcoming EBF5 update.

These may look like normal foes, but they’re actually going to be the bosses of the battle arena, where you can only use one player at a time. It’s going to be interesting trying to balance those battles…

And maybe in one of the challenge modes they’ll appear as regular foes too.


EBF5: New Flairs

Hey guys, here’s a preview of the new flairs coming to EBF5 v2.
Pictured are their icons, followed by their in-battle appearance.
You might see some familiar faces in there… see how many you can identify!

In related news, if you want to have more input into the game’s development, you should join the EBF Discord server. Every once in a while I’ll be looking for suggestions on there – the glasses, dog tags, ring and cube were actually fan suggestions.
