Hey everyone, it's been some time! While I've been busy working on a new game, the community has been modding EBF5 and creating all sorts of new content. Puri is working on a mod called Director's Cut that adds dozens of enemies from other EBF games, makes tweaks to the mechanics, adds new dialogue, skills and equips. But they're also adding their own graphics and animations, so in addition to remixing existing EBF content, there's completely new content appearing too - including new bosses and small dungeons to find them in. I'm especially excited about this, because Flash art is pretty niche

Hey everyone! It's been in development for 3 years, but "Find Matt's Cats" finally launches on March 16th! A few people have tested the full version of the game, and it's going to take around 50 hours to 100% complete everything, while a more casual play-through may take around half of that. You may have noticed that the name of the game has changed. It turns out that "Hidden Cats" was recently trademarked, so I had 48 hours to quickly change the name everywhere right before Next Fest started. I guess the trend of "Hidden Cats" games is over now. This game doesn't really compete with them thou

Hey everyone! I was hoping to finish Matt's Hidden Cats in 2025, but I missed that deadline by a little bit. The game will launch this March! Please go add it to your wishlist! Here's the new trailer, which shows off some gameplay and EBF lore: I'll also be dropping a demo on Steam soon - I'm currently polishing off the translations. The game supports 18 languages: English, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), Spanish (LatAm), Spanish (Spain), Portuguese (BR), German, French, Italian, Polish, Czech, Lithuanian, Finnish, Russian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Turkish.

Hey guys - I'm still working on my new game Matt's Hidden Cats, and hope to finish it some time this year. I've also been working on YouTube videos to promote the game and expand the lore of the Epic Battle Fantasy characters. The EBF characters all feature in Matt's Hidden Cats, and I'm writing a new story that should appeal both to new players and existing fans of EBF. You can watch the videos I've made so far in this playlist here. And you can add Matt's Hidden Cats to your wishlist here. It's worth following me on YouTube - I usually don't post often unless I have some game related stuff t

Hey guys, since Twitter and Facebook suck, I'm trying to scam people into following me on Newgrounds instead. I will be giving away Steam keys for Epic Battle Fantasy 5, one of the best RPGs of all time, to a random 10% of people who start following me on Newgrounds. So if 1,000 people follow me, I'll give out 100 keys, and so on. Please share this news with your friends! If you already own the game, you'll have a spare key to give to a cool person! For those of you who don't know, Newgrounds is a website for sharing animations and browser games - it used to be the coolest website on the inter

Hey guys, my new game Hidden Cats & Dogs is coming along nicely - it's even got a Steam store page already, and it would be super cool if you guys added it to your wishlists, as this helps boost it in the Steam store. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/5696681/195200cc2664f1c75a8eb09b9cf1d237d05a83c9.gif The game is around a year away from release, so there's a lot of work left to do, but I'll try to have a demo out in the next few months. As it's Autumn, I've been working on spooky-themed levels recently. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33394290/2942841b2d07e5bf4646350f066671be0a8eea57.png Hidden Cats & Dogs features...

Hey guys, I recently created some new item icons for modders to use in Epic Battle Fantasy 5. If you want to learn more about mods and try some out, check out the EBF Discord. EBF5 can be modded using decompiling tools, and a patcher can be used to modify your EBF5 installation. Currently the largest mod being worked on is called Tough Love, and it has new status effects, equips, player skills, and more intelligent and powerful enemies. At some point I will make it a beta branch of the game on Steam, to make it easier to install. But until then, you can try it out yourself using the resources

Hey guys, I've got two pieces of news for ya'll. First of all, I'm working on a new game - it's a hidden-object game codenamed "Hidden Cats". It's still early in development, but I'm having a lot of fun working on it. And I think you'll enjoy it if you're into relaxing games with cute art. It's loosely tied into the Epic Battle Fantasy universe too. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33394290/15efe35b70a8e80306a0198c888ab48497c0b1ad.png The second news is that I’ve been thinking of increasing the prices of my games in line with inflation… Since Epic Battle Fantasy 4 and Bullet Heaven 2 came out on Steam in 20

Hey guys, the Steam store page for the Epic Battle Fantasy Collection is up – you should wishlist the game so you’ll be notified when it launches! I still need to make a trailer, fix some minor bugs, and set up the soundtrack DLC (which will be free). There’s not very much work left to do, but it’s very boring stuff, so I’m taking my time with it.

Hey guys. About a year ago I made an announcement about an EBF5 mod, and since then people have been asking me if it's finished yet. Well, the mod isn't finished, but it has grown in scope since then, so there's a lot more content than originally planned. The mod is being made by EBF fan Feit-Neo (also known as LightningLaser), with some new icons being made by me. It features many new status effects, new enemy behaviour, 4 new weapons for each character, some new skills, new weather conditions, and more. Here's a preview of some of the weapons... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33394290/927822426458fa264f

Hey guys, Epic Battle Fantasy fan LightningLaser is working on a game mod that makes EBF5 more challenging. So far he's improved enemy AI and given them more varied attacks, added some new status effects, made some of the enemy skills usable by the players, and is adding weapons from previous EBF games to EBF5. Here's a video showing off some of the changes. (it's a bit out of date now) I've been helping out a bit by making some new icons, since he's just a programmer. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33394290/b2cd4016668d0bba4d29395d4411ef91fd4896e0.png When the mod is complete, it will be available to you

Hey guys, I've created a new beta branch of EBF5 - this is mostly to fix some very small bugs and typos. The only substantial changes are that NoLegs can now use Art Attack, and bosses have some resistance to HP debuffs from Scorch. This version will soon be live for everyone. You can opt-in early by going to Steam client -> EBF5 properties -> betas tab -> v2.1, the main menu should say "version 2.1.2" if done correctly. In related news, I’ve made some changes to the Epic Battle Fantasy soundtracks. Soundtracks used to be DLC, but now they are their own type of content, with the main differenc
