Hey guys, Epic Battle Fantasy 4 is almost ready for Steam!

I've got achievements, multiple resolutions, cloud saving, and all of that stuff working. The game looks and sounds much better with uncompressed audio and bigger bitmaps.

All that's left is finishing off the store page and finalizing things with Valve, which hopefully will only take a few days.

EBF4: Battle Mountain has been released on Kongregate! Battle Mountain is a challenging new area which includes 8 new bosses, new equips, and survival and endurance battles. Everyone who purchased the Premium Pack gets the update for free, otherwise it's $10. This version now has all of the content that the Steam version will have.

But do not fear! There's also a lot of updates for the free version, including new bosses and music. So it's worth replaying the game if you've wanted to.

 

The Steam version is coming soon, probably before the end of February. It'll have trading cards, cloud saving, tons of achievements, and all of that cool stuff. Also considering bundling in the soundtrack.

Some people may not have noticed yet, but you can find Santa gear in EBF4, as well as Christmas tree slimes. This stuff only appears in December!877736_138798961552_xmasebf4.jpg

The EBF4 expansion is nearing completion and I'm currently alpha testing the new enemies and other stuff. I'm not going to have anything new to post for a while, except for the occasional screenshot. So here's some screenshots of the new bosses in action! (I can post multiple images now, yay!)877736_138721581993_golem.jpg877736_138721596341_blackhole.jpg

I've finished the new area, minus the battles in it.
Here's some screenshots...

Next up: Finalizing and translating the dialogue, and then defining all of the battles!

New EBF4 Area Previews!

I've made evil versions of the party members, to act as super hard optional bosses:
Dark Matt and Natalie.
Dark Lance and Anna.
(there's no preloaders on those Flashes, so you might have to refresh the page if they don't load properly)

And here's a bunch of other updates:
New graphics for the kittens, to better suit my current style.
Did the same for the Green Slimes.
Made icons for the new enemies.

And finally:
I did some concept art for a Tower Defense game which I might make someday.

Also, here's a slime I made in Minecraft:

I’m finally a “real” game developer! Hurray!
Took a bit long (197 days), but things could have went a lot worse.
Thanks to everyone who voted!

I'm now working on new content for EBF4, hoping to increase the play-time by at least 25%.
Here's a full explanation of what's going to be added to the game.

I've also posted my Greenlight stats here, for anyone who's interested.

EBF4 has been Greenlit!


Posted by matt-likes-swords - October 24th, 2013


Since EBF4 is likely to be Greenlit on Steam in the next batch, I've started working on new content.
I've started off with harder versions of the bosses, here's the first two:
Armored Oak
Praetorian MkII

And as always, please vote on Greenlight if you haven't yet.
EBF4 is currently at number 12, but it was at number 5 before, meaning that a lot of games are overtaking it. So more votes would always help!

New Bosses for EBF4!

I wrote a somewhat lengthy blog about my first experiences with Starling and DragonBones. Might be an interesting read to some people who want to get some hardware acceleration into their Flash games.

Cat Cafe is nearing completion. Here's a preview of the upgrade system.

I've started using Twitter a lot more, so go follow me on there, if that's your thing.

Also, EBF4 is now at number 28 on Greenlight. A lot of games are overtaking it, but that doesn't seem to matter due to the huge batches being Greenlit now.
