Hey everyone! I’m realising it’s been around 3 years since I started working on Matt’s Hidden Cats – which is how long the original version of Epic Battle Fantasy 5 took to make, and that’s my best game by far! So you may be wondering why a seemingly simpler project is taking so long…? Well, I also need to answer this for myself to regain some sanity. So here’s some reasons… — First of all, it’s not the only thing I’ve been working on. In this time I also ported Epic Battle Fantasy 4 to Android and updated the Windows version (sorry, iOS fans). I’ve been supporting the EBF5 modding community and fan-made Chinese translations for my older games. And I’ve been doing general maintenance, promotions, and customer support for my existing games, which are still selling well. Secondly, I’m not working full time anymore! I have more hobbies now. I’m travelling more. I’m playing more video games. I’m spending more time with friends and family. All of that makes me feel like I’m not being

Hey gamers! If you recall, Matt’s Hidden Cats has collectable cards and other art to find in each level. I’ve decided that this is a great place to include a bunch of fan art, too. I’m making this post to give some information to anyone who would like a chance at having their art featured. • I’d like to include a variety of art styles – but it has to be cartoony and family-friendly to fit with the vibe of the game. • The art has to feature content specifically from Matt’s Hidden Cats – so the characters should appear in their new outfits, or other casual/office clothing. • The characters’ office is never shown in the game, so you can imagine what it may look like, or you can show the characters inhabiting some of the worlds they’ve made. • To make sure me or Ronja see your art, please post it on the EBF Discord fan art channel, or @ me on Twitter or BlueSky. There’s already some art of the characters, but I’d love to include more art of the cats and levels. So to help with that

Hey everyone – I’m writing this blog to spill my thoughts about my experience with AI so far. I’ve been exploring it in various ways recently, but am by no means an expert, so my views are likely to change in the future. — Programming — Recently I’ve been noticing that the quality of Google searches has gotten much worse – to the point where finding answers for ActionScript 3 programming questions is nearly impossible. You might say, “Matt, AS3 is an extinct language, there’s not going to be any results.”, but this isn’t right. There are plenty of online resources for the language (such as official docs, forums, textbook snippets, etc) that were previously searchable, and the language is still used and updated to this day (by HARMAN instead of Adobe now). I don’t see these relevant results at the top of Google searches any more! And other programmers have told me that I’m not hallucinating – this is happening for modern languages too. And the news seems to confirm that Google is
