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 (it's a bit out of date now)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.
When the mod is complete, it will be available to you guys through the Steam Beta branches feature, and should be compatible with existing saved games. We're not in a hurry to release it though, so it may still take some time.
At the moment, EBF5 is only being modded through the use of decompilers, which is not ideal. Eventually I plan to release the entire source code to make the process a bit easier. But there's not many people still hanging around who work with Flash, so don't expect a huge surge of mods!
If you want to chat with the modding community, check out the modding channel on the EBF Discord server.
In other news, I'm slowly working on a mobile port of EBF5. The game already runs on mobile devices, it's just a bit laggy, so I need to optimize things until it runs reasonably well. I'm starting off with Android first, and if that goes well, moving onto iOS later. I don't really know what I'm doing when it comes to mobile development, so I'm not making any promises yet, but it's quite likely that you'll need a fairly powerful device to run the game.
I think that covers everything. I hope you're all staying safe!
