Also Anna is the best girl, that's not an opinion

I think I like designing monsters and weapons the most. That doesn't ever get repetitive like other stuff.
What do you like most when developing your games?
When stuff works first time.
Favorite dessert food? What is your least favorite part of the artistic process? And finally, what music have you been listening to, if any?
Book Club Radio lately.
EBF 6 or a DLC for EBF 5 with a new character ?
Not any time soon.
What’s the opposite of fire
Water.
What gave you idea of EBF characters?
They were developed over a long period of time.
Matt kinda looks like me.
Natalie is his perfect girlfriend.
Lance is sort of a bad guy.
And Anna is based on the 2 girls from the Wakfu series.
what kind of videogames does lance enjoy playing? (aside from porn games)
He probably couldn't afford video games when growing up. I think he prefers to shoot stuff in real life now.
How do you feel about people simping for your characters, including your self insert?
Do you like Touhou?
Haven't played it in a long time.
Any western animated movie or show you really like?
I liked Adventure Time quite a lot. Haven't watched that many.
Which of the EBF characters is most likely to do xanax?
They only take recreational drugs.
Lance probably needs it the most.
What was the hardest decision you had to make during the development of EBF5?
Deleting the nude content.
Well, the most frustrating parts were some stupid workarounds that I had to do to get past some arbitrary technical limitations that Adobe implemented. A few years later Harman took over Flashplayer and fixed these issues, but I wish that it was done sooner!
is it possible for me, a guy, to go on an adventure, make cool friends, steal shit, beat up animals and save the world like matt?
Not viable in real life, unless you're into crime.
1. What advancements do you think Ruffle will make possible for Flash games that would simply not work with the original media player from Adobe?
2. Would you use an open source clone of Flash/Animate if it was equal or better in functionality?
1. Answered this in another comment.
2. Yeah, that would be pretty cool. If they made that today it would probably be a lot better than the original, as it would be built for modern hardware. But I think it would be a ton of work.
Have you ever played Vampire Survivors, and if so, would you consider reaching out to poncle for a crossover? I'd love to blow up tens of thousands of monsters with Natalie while rocking out to some Phyrnna remixes!
I played it a little bit but I didn't really see what the hype was about. Idle games don't really do it for me, and it just seemed like a grind to me.
What's your favourite track from the entire EBF soundtrack?
The first battle theme that appears in each game is usually the most memorable one.
1 Would you make an animation or a drawing of the ebf characters in your style since I would like to see how you currently draw?
2 May I make an ebf fangame before you turn into Nintendo and cease and desist me?
3 Can you make a basic tutorial on how to make an RPG in Adobe Flash?
1. I occasionally record the drawing process on my YouTube, I may do some more of that in the future.
2. Yeah sure, if it's non-profit. No one who asks ever finishes anything though.
3. No, because tutorials and textbooks on how to code already exist, and these days you can even ask AI to teach you. If you know how to use the tools, you'll be able to figure out any genre. If you are interested in a specific game, Wikis usually have a deep dive into exactly how the mechanics work.
If you had to choose between fighting 100 duck-sized horses or one horse-sized duck, which would you choose?
100 tiny horses, probably. I don't think horses are very effective predators, but a duck can hunt.
Hey Matt, cool work you've done over the years, got to ask what you prefer though:
Cold Drinks or Hot Drinks?
Mostly water. Coffee is nice in the morning. Cold drinks for parties.
WoodbucketPro
What would happen if no-legs met an actual dog, who is limbless
matt-likes-swords
Maybe that's something that needs to appear in a future game.
