Hey guys, EBF4 is 50% off this week on Steam!

I’ve been playing Smash 4 non-stop since it came out.
My 3DS friend code is 3823-8704-3642, so add me if you want.
My friend list is almost full but I can still add a few more people.

Almost finished with boss number 9. I’m gonna leave the final boss for later.
After this I’ll start polishing off some unfinished features and get the boss demo ready!

I reckon BH2 is almost 50% finished... so still a lot to do. D:

7 bosses done! The last ones left are the hardest, so I'm gonna go all-out on those!

Been working on programming the bosses. Got 5 done so far. Each boss will have a total of 12 attack patterns, 3 being optional bonuses for those who get a good rank in the level.

There's a lot more screenshots on my website.

I'm still working on bosses for Bullet Heaven 2. Drawn 9 so far, and 4 are fully programmed and animated.
Not sure what the final boss is going to be yet!

Released a new BH2 demo! Tell me what you think of the game so far.

That’s me finished all of the non-boss foes! 146 foes in total, plus 22 foe-ish entities!
Next up: Polishing off a few things and releasing a foe demo, so you can see them all in action.

I'm currently working on attack patterns for the enemies in BH2.
Still got a lot left to do, but here's some of what I've done so far:

Hay guys!
I've been slacking off lately, and catching up with games that I've been meaning to play.

Since I haven't made anything new, I'll just post some EBF fanart I've got recently!

On Sunday, Epic Battle Fantasy 4′s group won the Community’s Choice vote on Steam, meaning that EBF4 and the other games in it’s group were selected for a huge discount lasting 8 hours, and featured on Steam’s front page. It was smart of Valve to bundle EBF4 with Final Fantasy 7, as fans of FF are very likely to enjoy EBF too, so I got a chance to leech some players from a very popular game series! :D

This little bit of luck turned out to be huge for me, because in just 8 hours, the total number of people who had bought the game on Steam had almost quadrupled!

So I’ve got a huge number of new players, many of which probably won’t even have heard of EBF before, and the response from them has been pretty good. Besides a few technical problems, no one’s told me that they hate the game. So that’s cool.

Sure, many players who buy games in Steam sales won’t actually end up playing those games, but that’s fine, it still works out to a lot of extra fans (and cash!) that I wasn’t expecting.

I’m not sure how Valve decides what games get featured, but I do know that not all of them get a chance, so I must be doing something right. (EBF4 was also featured on the front page in Europe, the day after launch)

So it looks like I’ve got a good future ahead of me on Steam, and hopefully getting a game through Greenlight won’t take 6 months next time! :P

Steam is now my primary source of income (with Kongregate premium sales being second), and what this means is that I’ll definitely be focusing on larger games with paid content, rather than completely free web games. But I’ll continue to make free web versions too.

And yeah, I’ll probably make EBF5… someday.


If you haven't grabbed a copy yet, EBF4 is still 50% off for a few more days!
