Hey guys, I've been taking a break from making games and mostly been cleaning up the house and figuring out personal finances and other boring stuff.

I've been doing a lot of traditional drawing though! Been drawing tons of monsters, a lot of which will end up in Epic Battle Fantasy 5 one day. You can see a lot more of them on my website.

Hey guys, I'm still working on the premium bosses for Bullet Heaven 2!

Speaking of which, here's the plans for the paid versions of the game:
• The 9 or 10 extra bosses I’m working on now.
• A randomized endless survival level for each world, limited to one life, no cheats.
• 3 of the playable characters: Slime Bunny, Dry NoLegs and Phyrnna.

So that works out to an extra 20 levels added to the 50 free levels.

The Steam version will have some more improvements:
• Support for widescreen and different resolutions. I’ll put a better HUD at the sides.
• HD graphics and uncompressed audio.
• The usual Steam features: Cloud, cards, achievements, etc.

The Kongregate version will be released first, with the Steam version a bit later. I’ll be posting the game on other sites too, but the premium version will probably only be available on Kongregate.

I’m aiming to have a similar price to EBF4 on each service, but that’s not decided yet.

Oh, and people who buy the game on Kongregate before it’s released on Steam can ask me for a free Steam copy later, if they would prefer that. I’ve been doing the same thing with EBF4 for anyone who asks.

I'm still working on bonus bosses for Bullet Heaven 2. They're coming along quite quickly like I hoped. :D
I've drawn most of them and have started programming their attack patterns.

I’m also playing the Majora’s Mask remake, so that’s fun. And lots of Mario Kart 8.

Check out my website for some screenshots of the new bosses in action.

Hay guys, Bullet Heaven 2 is approaching completion and I'm now working on paid content for the Kongregate and Steam versions. This includes new versions of each boss in the game. Here's the first 3 I've re-skinned.
They're mostly going to play like completely different bosses, just sharing the animations of the originals.

Other paid extras include 3 playable characters, and an endless survival level for each world. Not sure about the cost yet, but I'm aiming for something similar to EBF4.

If you want more info and updates then you should consider following me on my website or on Twitter.

Almost done with the menus in Bullet Heaven 2!
Once I plug them into the rest of the game, all of the essential features will be complete!
That still leaves dialogue, tutorials, achievements, and tons of polishing and debugging... but I think things are coming along nicely.

Here’s how multiplayer works btw:
Everyone’s attack power is lowered, but the total is still higher than on single player. Everyone has one life, but they respawn after a few seconds as long as someone is still alive. Bombs are shared. Enemies will always target the nearest player to them, making cooperation vital if you don’t want bullets scattered in the wrong places. It'll be local multiplayer.

Oh, and here's some awesome fanart from Tanita K.

Made some icons! There’s no permanent upgrades this time, but you can unlock cheats, handicaps, weapons and costumes instead, using coins you collect in-game. Getting high ranks and achievements will reward you with extra coins and speed things up. Hopefully this adds a lot of replay value! :D

Also made level icons for the level select screen!

Working on the menus for BH2!

Probably not terribly exciting for most people, but I think they’re cool cause they support all 3 control schemes and run at 60fps, unlike my other games.

Cheats and handicaps (and everything else) will be unlocked by collecting coins in game.
So even though there’s no upgrades, this is kind of similar.

Also finished the bombs for the new characters!

Added some new players and some alternative costumes!
Each player now has a choice of 3 different sub weapons too, so overall there's a massive range of playstyles to pick from.

There's gonna be some dialogue in the game this time, so I also made a bunch of emoticons.
And if you want even more spoilers, here's a preview of their bomb attacks.

Hope you guys had a good new year's!

Bullet Heaven 2 is starting to come together. The levels are more or less finished and there's not THAT much left to do now!
I'm currently working on more playable characters, so I'll post some of those next week.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4 is 60% off for the Steam Winter Sale!

In other news, I've just been playing Smash Bros WiiU since it came out. Sorry.
Oh, and here's some fanart I found on Pixiv:
