Alright, I’ve filled up the mansion with fanart, and left a few spaces for later.
Here’s what one room looks like. There’s also concept art in other rooms.
Now I need to hunt down all the artists and ask how to credit them.
Wish me luck.
And in case anyone’s forgotten, the mansion is the optional area that you unlock by collecting achievements!
I found the best fanart ever made.
It’s by OneWingedParrot.
I’m putting concept art and fanart into the mansion area of EBF5.
But all sorts of complications are coming up. I already can’t fit in all of my favourite fanart, there’s too much. And what about all the art that comes out after the game is released? The gallery will also need to obey the blood and cleavage filters. Will every artist reply when I ask how to credit them? Some of them don’t even speak English, or have vanished off the face of the internet. There’s a lot to consider!
It looks really good so far though.
Alright, I played through the whole world map and it took me almost 5 hours to collect everything and talk to everyone (and that’s without any battles)! So for the average player that would probably be closer to 10 hours. I’d say about 20% of that was in the premium areas – but if you struggle with the hardest puzzles it could be much bigger portion.
There’s a ton of little bugs to fix, like some NPCs showing up in two places at once.
I think I’ll also make things a bit easier for completionists, and make backtracking easier, and add some “spare” key items for quests. (For example, a quest needs 10 key items, but 11 exist in the game) The world is getting so big that I need to make completing everything a bit more forgiving this time.
The world is finished, with a total of 196 map screens.
I’m fixing known bugs and optimising things a bit now, and I’ll maybe have that demo for Patrons ready in a few days.
Got some fanart from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.
Here’s a Not-safe-for-work version!
