Matt Roszak (also known as Kupo Games or previously as kupo707 and matt-likes-swords) is an independent web animator and game designer. He's best known as the creator of the Epic Battle Fantasy series, but he's also made other Flash games such as Brawl Royale and The Kitten Game, as well as some Flash animations, such as the Black Mages series and One More Final Battle.

Behind the Scenes

On his main website kupogames.com, before the dissolution of Adobe Flash, this was the main software that Roszak used. Most of the pre-Epic Battle Fantasy 3 games (EBF3 included) were programmed with Actionscript 2, with later projects using Actionscript 3. His prefered version is CC 2015.
