Epic Battle Fantasy 4 - Foe Competition

Posted by matt-likes-swords - January 2nd, 2011


Epic Battle Fantasy 4 is still ages away, but I thought that I'd announce this now to give everyone plenty of time.

When developing Epic Battle Fantasy 3, I asked fans to send in drawings of foes which they wanted to see in the game. Quite a few eventually made it in, here's some of the winners:

Gunslinger
Clays
Fire Elemental

So basically I'm going to do the same thing again.
The franchise seems to have gotten a lot more attention since the last competition, so this should be even more interesting.

Requirements:

Drawings must be your own work.

Drawings must be original, for example, not recolored Sonic or Pokemon.

I don't mind if it's drawn traditionally or digitally.
I'll need at least one colored picture though.

It's gotta be RPG-ish. Whatever that means.

They must be work-safe. It can't be a giant penis. Uh..

It must not be human.
Preferably not very human-like at all.
Mainly because of....

They must be easy to motion tween.
This means they will be animated by just moving parts around and not redrawing anything.
So they shouldn't have too many movable parts. (Humans and spiders etc would require lots of parts).
Hell if it only has one moving part (for example, it's a rock), I won't complain.
Of course, if your foe is good enough to become a boss, I'll put in more effort.

Think of some attacks and properties for them.
Not really essential because I'll probably change a lot of them to fit the game.

Possibly think of several varieties so I can recycle the animations for several foes. For example an ice version and a fire version.

They should be different from existing foe types.
For example: No more turtles, or slimes etc.
Unless you want it to be a re-skin of an older foe, which is okay, but it'll have to be pretty much exactly the same shape.
In fact doing a re-skin of an existing foe would probably increase your chances of winning since it's less effort for me to implement.

Submission:

Please post your drawing on DeviantArt or on the game's FaceBook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Epic-Ba ttle-Fantasy-3/121491377896263), otherwise it will be hard for me to keep track of them.

Submissions from the previous competition will also be considered again.

You can send in as many foes as you want.

Prizes:

Millions of people will see your foe.
You'll get a brief mention in the game's art gallery, and probably have your original drawing included as well, if there's enough space.

Deadline:

Competition will end after at least 4 months. Probably much longer.
Winners probably won't start being picked any earlier than that.

Picture unrelated.

HEY MAT!
I'll help out! Defenitly!
Can I help in any way besides drawing though?

You can beta test!!
But not any time soon.

Alrighty then! Time to get drawin :D

Awesome. I'm about to start drawing. :D1

Do you want a PM to Kupo707 or here if we upload to dA?

Better on DA. I get too many PMs to look through later.

Dude, I am crap for an artist so I don't foresee throwing in for the competition, but I must say that the three prior installments of this game are some of the finest work presently on Newgrounds! Keep up the good work man!

so a note through DA? ill do something XD

Can you tell us the types of settings there will be?

I don't really know yet.

It should be like those elements right?
(Fire, Earth, Wind, Water/Ice, Lightning, and Bomb)

So basically, you have a higher chance of making it in using less originality? Cool...I think I might actually try on this one. Though I'm still not very sure how to upload pics and stuff...I'd need help. Anyways, my character is an eyeball looking thing (see, originality!) with a garbage/waste composition to it. It floats and would most likely be found in a sewer or a dystopian/heavily-polluted city. My drawing stinks though, so I'll have to perfect it as much as possible. Also, I loved the mini-games of EBF3, so I'd like to see a wider variety of those if possible. It's just a suggestion, though. Last thing: PLEASE keep the walking mechanic!

can i beta test when its ready

Now's my chance to turn in a pic of Dargo it would seem. One question though if it's posted on DeviantArt do we tell you where to find it or is it posted on your profile or something? A link maybe?

yeah, send me a link.

i would love it if i could consider my angel and demon bots i made in 3D

kay

I would be a happy person if I got to beta test also.

I'll Beta-Test too! Any other ways I could help out also?

Oh and I could help write a story line if you'd like less work to do.

I'll try to cook something up.
Also, I'm willing to beta-test when you get to that stage.

what about weopons or any kind of equipment. to help keep the load off or something.

already finished those

i like many others would love to beta test

Do you already have the final boss in mind? Like in 3 so that it already has a story line.

kind of

Ok. Cool. Just wondering. Now I got to think up some foes and draw them.
