do you feel depressed, you shouldn't
you should really consider making a visual novel out of it
Leave visual novels to fans. That's their job - to make a fan work for fans by fans. I can't think of any flash artists who'd be interested in this, though, and have decent enough skills to reproduce Matt's characters.
I am completely offended, Matt. I am playing one of your so-called failure which is one of the easiest best flash game of the history! I have been playing 3 days straight just to trying to finish up this game and I have not even bored with it yet. You have the talent and potential of making such great games and series that has never ever let any of us disappointed expect the fact about the save issues. (really have to blame the cookies and websites that do not have extra flash storage...) I am currently study in animation courses (I am study both 2D and 3D) and I wish I have your talent, and I am even sucks at coding, even just in Adobe Flash.
If you are looking for a better opportunity in the future, I am willing to follow whatever your next development is, no matter what platform is. Also, I am really hoping this game is able to make it to the steam edition because I am so going to get that once it is released, and I am sure there will be a better selling at Steam.
Shame that you're considering discontinuing such a great series, though I guess it can't last forever. I hope you can pick it up again, but if you're bored of the series then it's understandable why you wouldn't work on it.
I really hope you don't stop working on flash games just to put them on phones instead, because I think a phone really should just be for calling people and have never used one for anything else.
I also notice that not one of the mistakes mentioned was about gameplay. (Unbalanced things, annoyances, etc.) That says something, I think. :)
I still think your work has potential. What direction you take from here i guess is entirely up to you. Good luck and thank you for your work so far. I posted a longer comment on deviant. Love the fanart :)
Have you considered porting the game over to the Ouya? There's a relatively small user base at the moment, but if the translation from Flash to whatever code they use is relatively simple, you can use that as an interim place until Steam Greenlight finally comes through.
Taking a break is fine, its no good if you get burned out. Still I'd love to see more stuff with this universe and characters, not just games. If the steam version ever comes out, I'll definitely be buying it. Make no mistake, you got talent.
Nothing really seems wrong for me with EBF4 btw nice artwork
In my opinion I found both the 3rd and 4th game fun so there isn't anything wrong with it in my opinion

I'm a bit disturbed that EBF4 has had a negative effect with you. I honestly am surprised. I would normally hope that this sadness your feeling is a passing thing. Some of the best people of the Flash community leave for many reasons, but rarely do they leave over the reason of not making much money. Normally, the coin in your pocket is a plus for doing something you love for people who care. That said, I recently found EBF4 on Steam Greenlight and voted to have it included in the games purchasable. I noticed that with all the votes, its actually going to make it on the store list soon, after all this time after it has been on Kongregate. This might seem sad since it takes a long time for some things to kick off, but when you turn anything into a business, you need to think of your time as an investment. Anyways, I can't wait for the next game, and I can't wait to purchase EBF4 on steam when its available, I can't believe the massive amounts of votes its finally gotten. I hope the next game has more success. It almost certainly will.
