What is stopping you from creating Epic Battle Fantasy 6?

Don't wanna do the same thing for the rest of my life.

What's your opinion about those who cracked your games?

There's nothing to crack. They don't have DRM.

Does Matt in EBF games look like a girl on purpose?

No, I just made no effort to learn how to draw human faces.

@mrcrazy6869 @matt-likes-swords Bro incorporated Lanceđź’€

do you still contact Pyranna (Ziyan Su) to make music for your new game?

She'll be doing a few tracks for Matt's Hidden Cats, but not the majority of it.

I love your games! Have you visited or plan to visit Argentina or Uruguay?

I don't know, maybe someday. There's plenty of cool countries closer to me that I haven't visited yet.

Talking about drawing and character design, which subject you prefer to create? Cute plants, horrid monsters, weapons or something else?

Humans are the worst because you need to get proportions, faces, and a lot of other details right or they just look weird. With the other stuff you can basically make up whatever you want and it works fine in most cases.

How do you like your coffee

Flat white, no sugar. Sometimes something exciting like a pistachio latte.

Has the idea to make a story oriented game came to mind at all?

Nah, not really. I could put more effort into fleshing out NPCs and lore in future, but I don't want the central plot to be more important than the gameplay.

What are your opinions on the current state of the United Kingdom?

It's been going downhill since 2008, so my entire adult life. Doesn't look great.
People here are poor as heck.

the timeline of the series gets pretty confusing. what is "canon" to the EBF series, does the story of the EBF world start exactly with EBF1 or some earlier entries, and what about the spinoff stuff?

Only EBF5 is canon. The other games were just practice for that one.
(It doesn't really matter to me as long as each game is fun on its own)

will you consider putting Phyrnna as a playable character in a future game?

Nah, she's retired the character. And even if that wasn't the case, still no.

Do you like swords?

What was your favorite game ost when you were growing up?

Ooof, I dunno, I think listening to game soundtracks became more of a thing when YouTube started being mainstream, not when I was a kid. But mainly Final Fantasy stuff I guess.

What was one mechanic where you realized you hit a wall in flash (if there were any at all) and had to do some workaround shenanigans to get it to work?

Animating more background stuff like trees, etc would be fun to add but the current engine can't handle it. That's why all the weather effects happen between turns and aren't always shown.

Ive seen you previously tweet about how you dislike Lance from the EBF series and considered killing him off if you ever were to make EBF6. My question is that creatively how would Lance go, and would it be out of the question for him to find redemption? Alot of the characters many people grew up with and would be upset if they were unceremoniously killed off.
Also if you did ever do EBF6, where do you think you could take the series from there? Considering they already completed the "killing God" trope.

I think he's a good character, I just need to make it more obvious that if people act the way that he does, they will be miserable and lonely.

Somehow Zombie Goku returned.
(I think it's gonna be tricky to come up with something that feels meaningful, yeah)

What are your thoughs on Stardew Valley? Did ConcernedApe deserve the respect 100% or you think he sucks.

Haven't played it.

Which character out of EBF do you enjoy to see as fanart?

Natalie.

Any tips on making a RPG, or game in general?

Finish and publish whatever you work on to get more experience.

Here is my question

Does Matt always like Natalie?

I don't think she's capable of doing anything that would make him not like her.
