I wanted everyone to know that patch 5.0 is still being worked on and wanted to touch base with plans for the game as I'm doing some major changes. 5.0 is going to be a major overhaul from a 2D system to 2.5D. More on that a few paragraphs down.

Storywise, I'm going to be modifying and adding story elements based off player feedback.  Battles also are going to be more scripted and refined to step away from more RNG fights. The Quest System and menus will be focused on as well to add more content to the game. I'm also overhauling game systems and doing improvement throughout the game to make a more enjoyable experience.

As I said, 5.0 is going to be a complete overhaul of the game and completely converts the entirety of the game to 2.5D. Instead of having flat 2D textures for everything, most of the maps will be done with 3D models overlaid with 2D meshes. Additionally, I will be having the camera default as an isometric view similar to BOF 3 and 4;however, the camera controls are customizable for the players' preference.

Because this version of the game is going to be so different than the 4.1B top-down, I will be leaving 4.1B game uploaded for those who prefer the original over the changes that I am doing.

I'd greatly appreciate hearing what people have to say about the changes in regards to the graphics as this is a step away from the traditional BOF 2 look and more towards BOF 3 and 4 but also a more modern look (hopefully). If I get a lot of feedback that the new look is not working for BOF2, I can always scrap the 2.5 overhaul and focus more on content. Either way I hope to get some feedback!
