alright just gonna ask something thats been on my mind. Was lance based on anyone you've encountered, or was he just a composite of 4channer stereotypes

Just started off as a generic villain. Over time got more personality as my writing improved and I tried to make him different from the other characters.

What do you think about Anna and Natalie yuri? (Girls' love)

Fans can ship whatever they like, but Natalie is not gay.

Would you ever consider giving the characters voices, if so how do you think they would sound?

I don't want to because it would be a lot of work and I could easily do it wrong.
But this clip is pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWR6gKJ3M3U

what is the coolest real life sword by your opinion?

I don't know much about real swords.

Would you consider compiled languages with wasm or similar targets for future development?

AS3 still works fine for me.

I bet I know the answer already, though I have to ask anyway, Boobs or butt?

Yeah, you know.

Is it true matthew L swords can solo goku?

Yeah, no problem.

Any idea if you are going to continue making games?

I'm making one right now!

Have you ever thought about expanding the world of EBF? I mean adding new characters, new threats like the Devourer, continuing with the lore of EBF or even making it more serious, or did you never have the idea of ​​being pretentious?

Do you mean like... making a sequel?

Matt, what app did you use to create EBF5?

Adobe Flash 2015.

Will you ever make any more bullet hells or real time strategy games in the future?

Eh, dunno.

What is your favorite RPG?

Final Fantasy 9 probably.

If you had to restart your game dev journey in the year 2025 with zero experience, what's the first thing you'd do/teach yourself?

I would go code for a bank or something instead.
I think it's probably way harder to find success now than when I started - there's way more people doing it. Maybe try pitching some small meme games that I could make for famous YouTubers.

(Ignore if already answered here)
Any plans for ebf6 or a prequel to the story ?
(Akron's origin ect...)

I think fans need to flesh out stuff like that themselves, since the plots are generally just there to tie the gameplay together more than anything else, like in Zelda games.

Thanks for making EBF! they're some of my favorite childhood games! can't wait to play Hidden Cats! oh, for question, how do you deal with feature creep while making games?

Only add features that work well with what you already have, unless you want to start working on a completely different game over time.

Asking since I'm very fond of 8-Bit Theater and noticed a lot of references in the EBF games over the years, what was your favorite joke in 8BT(That you remember), and was your (started as a self-insert) character of Matt partially inspired by Fighter?

It inspired me a lot back then, but I've never revisited it and don't remember it very well any more.

How did you meet Phyrnna. Were there previous people you worked with and didn't like their songs before meeting Phyrnna? What's her real name?

Newgrounds. She was basically the first to contact me about music.
It's a secret.

An extra 2 questions! (Assuming I can't just ask one):

1. Assuming that it wasn't just "For the funny", what made you decide to have one of Lance's 2 signature Limit Breaks be a JoJo reference (Oblivion)?

2. Since I'm curious, what's your opinions on Gacha games? Have you played any yourself?

1. It was just for the funny.
2. I wouldn't go anywhere near them. I used to play Maple Story and when the microtransactions become a central part of that game, I learned a lesson for life.

Will you ever make Epic Battle Fantasy 6?

Maybe.

How much did you make from the EBF Series?

A lot. (for a small team)
