>Mother 4
Nani?!

Fan game that was supposed to be released last year

Didn't this game get a name change because of all the butthurt people whining about it? And then I heard it got delayed.

Yeah it got rebranded and they haven't revealed the rebrand name yet. They announced the rebrand back in may or somethin and the trailer was supposed to drop in June. Now they have to make a bunch of new music, so it got delayed again.

>it got renamed
Maybe I'll give it a chance, then

So have they rebranded yet? They said they would.

What a fucking newfag.

They haven't even revealed the name

They can just put these songs in their game.

Shane wanted the team to join his LLC and give him legal control over the project or somethin. He kept being problematic and refusing to let them use his music without joining so they booted him out and refuse to use his music.

ah I see thanks

I just haven't browsed Sup Forums for some years, and I only played Mother 3 recently

boom town lounge is best track, prove me wrong

Boom Town Special

Sup Forums is garbage, I wouldn't recommend staying at all. Biggest mistake of my life.

They felt afraid of getting C&D, so they decided to change it to avoid the trouble.

it's better than Sup Forums, Sup Forums and Sup Forums at least. Considering it has one of the most popular subjects it could be waaay worse.

this isn't bad at all, but it doesn't really sound very mother-like

nope, more like because the lead developer is replaced and the new one is very paranoid and afraid that nintendo is gonna C&D the game so he decide to change the name

Boom town lounge sticks out a lot from the rest of the music

This whole situation's saddening. I've been waiting years for this game and it's just so much waiting and bad news. I'm still hoping the game is good, but it hurts knowing that I'll be playing some "Mother-like" rather than a legit Mother fangame.
I wish they released it at least a year or two ago, and updated it as time went on. Now Shane's gone, and I'm not sure how good the game will be after all these revisions.
This really bummed out my night man

Don't worry! Pastel has been sharing some neat stuff from the rebrand. He says it didn't hold much ties to the Mother series to begin with, but it definetly is still holding on to the Mother charm.

It was nothing special anyway.

It'd be great if a Bid For Power situation happened so that all the original Mother content could be reinserted into the games by fans, but I know that's just too wishful thinking
youtu.be/hqwP6uuYOWo?t=349

Again, I'm still optimistic and wish the best for the devs, just a sad situation for what all this work has culminated to. At least for me, that is

This shit keeps getting worse and worse since they decided to rebrand it

Holy shit it's fucking doomed. What a bunch of idiots.

Like I hate to be a pessimist but you know the new music will suck.

If it helps.
Apparently Shane is mentally ill so I don't know if it is entirely the Mother 4 devs fault.

This came from a time where Earthbound inspired games didn't exist, now we have Undertale, Lisa, and are getting Omori Game soon, it's not needed. Mother has no continuity except for the main enemies being related.

I don't see why people STILL want Mother 3 to be released in NA. I would understand back then, when physical copies were a thing. But if it got released today it would just be horribly localized and digital only. It don't make sense

None of those games are truly Mother like though. I want ANOTHER Mother game, not one that's sorta similar in tone and simplicity. The world, concept, and execution are all so unique it's incredibly difficult to reproduce, yet this came so cloe.
Plus Omori's gonna be shit

Even if it's released, It's going to end up as another Mighty No. 9.

So is it finally over or what

...

Isn't the game gonna be free on release? if the release ever happens

youtube.com/watch?v=xqd28WCgrH0
This'll be your best bet ;o3

NOPE

Not him, but I'm actually really excited for KS. Looks fun

>Mother has no continuity except for the main enemies being related
>M2 a direct sequel to M1, even the same villain

I can see where you're coming from with M2-3, but Pokey is a huge part of 2, and 3 builds directly on top of his character, who ended 2 in a cliffhanger.

I don't think you really know what you're talkin' 'bout, mang.

>tumblr nose: the vidya
why can't any indie RPGs ever get anything right? Even Blue Omen looks like garbage

Because they're made by tumblrites and ledditors?

I went to high school with Shane. He was your typical underachieving fuckup but he did hang around the rock band types and was into that. I think he moved to LA and breathed in the AIDS which developed him some hipster mental problems.

I used to make fun of this game cause of the name, but now I feel bad for them

While we're on the subject why the fuck do people still to this day beg and plead for some sort of localization of Mother 3? Do they not understand the implications? Do they not realize it's been freely available with a high quality translation for like a decade now?

bandwagoning

Is that the game where the dev went, "I'm glad people are comparing my game to Mother 3 instead of Earthbound, I never even finished Earthbound!"

speaking of RPGs that are in dev hell, anyone remember this one?
youtube.com/watch?v=gpFXydY1K8k

game looks mediocre as fuck, but the soundtrack is god-tier

Blue Omen looks pretty decent actually

My only gripe with the game is the pixel art. the lack of shading and refinement to tile sets make my eyes bleed

Lisa the Painful is so far the best Earthbound-inspired RPG I've played (granted I have played very few of them). It's interesting that the game that is so very distinct from its inspiration by tone, setting and atmosphere happens to be considered one of the greatest earthbound likes and even inspiring fangames of its own.

This is why you give yourselves deadlines boys and girls (male). "Perfectionist" autists like these chucklefucks will never get anything done others.

Listening to the original level up jingles makes me really happy. I wish that they kept these, they sounded so much better than the ones that they replaced them with.

that first jingle is almost note for note plagiarism of the level up loop from earthbound

>going through rebranding
FUCK
IT LOOKED SO GOOD THOUGH
REEEEEEEE

That's the point.

Yes.

>This game will end up going through a longer development hell than Mother 3

Mother 4 is a shitty autistic fan game made by tumblrina faggots, the fact that any of you would ever support it shows just how underage Sup Forums is

Want to shove any more buzzwords into your post, buddy?
Also
>Bumping a thread from page 10 just to sperg out

Rebranding was a mistake

The whole Mother 4 thing was probably the only reason it got any attention in the first place.

Have mods linked the OP to the same shill IPs yet?

It is unreleased, how can you deem a game shitty like this?
And stop throwing around those buzzwords for validation points.

this

fuck you dumb faggots

not really. just say it's inspired by it. worked for undertale. people PAID for that one. actual money. and "professional" critics gave it favorable scores.

Inker's art is usually great but looks awful in Blue Omen, his style does not fit thin MS Paint lines

Snowman mix is pretty nice, I'm always up for remixes of that theme.

At least they had the sense to change the name. It makes them slightly less humongous autistic faggots now.

>Shane Mesa
Nintendo is making a western Mother game?
Retro? Nintendo of America?

>not muh mother
Oh boy, another diehard drone butthurt over the name being Mother 4 despite many other fangames having similar names, like Zelda & Mario romhacks.

>comparing romhacks to building an entirely new game from scratch

>I've been waiting nearly 10 years for this game to come out.
It's all starting to hit me like a tonne of bricks.

>semantics

The game isn't even called Mother 4 anymore - now its lost the music? (What are they gonna do? Borrow music from EB and Mother 3?)

Is this fan project autism?

>tfw its really been 10 years
At least I finally got the full version of the melty robot theme.

I'm digging the music.

did u enjoy mother 3?

>Refuse to show any development for years
>Remove all of the music, one of the few things people got to see and liked

Kind of embarrassing at this point

I personally loved them. When combined they've got this melancholic sense of optimism. Like, you're getting stronger and moving toward your goal, but you're also going to have to face stronger and more dangerous foes because of it.

>>Remove all of the music, one of the few things people got to see and liked
Shane is unstable due to being Bipolar and was basically demanding they hand over all rights to the property over to him in order for them to keep his music. I can't really blame them for it.

Both Sup Forums and Sup Forums are significantly better than Sup Forums.

nigger what even?

they can't use the music still?

You mean it hasn't come out yet? Guess I gotta read the thread and find out wtf happened.

Not that I cared, no one can top 3.

It's not coming out.

I'm sort of glad, I can see the Mother fanbase going through an "Undertale" phase and becoming embarrassing to associate with.
The game doesn't look very good anyway, definitely not up to par with the Creatures, Inc. games.

or just set goals.

Got full version of Battle Against a Clueless Foe so I guess this project dying wasn't a total waste

maybe if you're literally autistic

>>or just set goals.

Unless your goals are
>I can only release this when it's perfect

What song is Clueless Foe even sampling? I recognise the melody and can even put words to it but I can't remember the song's actual name.

i expected this to be derivative of mother, not early 2010s internet

The same people who throw a bitchfit over Mother 4 are the same people who believe that defending the series' integrity will summon Samtron to one's room where she'll proceed to reward you with a blowjob

Not sure, I can recognize the melody too though.
Especially the part 40 seconds in

the mother fanbase was never good

I was fine with the Mother 4 name. Only truly the worst autists didn't like the name.

Like the creepy people that fap to Mother/EB porn.

>Battle against a Hot Foe

Fucking finally

sounds like celebration (celebrate good times come on)

It's even worse because it was all so sudden. Not the rebranding thing, but Shane Mesa leaving. At first other staff said he'd come back and the music would remain but then suddenly he went on a racist rant on Periscope wearing a Hitler mustache and demanded to have all merchandising rights to the game and creative control and they said no.
So he fucked off and took his music with him. Now the game ha no composer, rebranding issues, all stacked on top of an already snail's pace development cycle.
This game looked so promising but it's obvious it's never going to come out. So sad, I've never seen such a good looking fangame.

>that rendition of Wisdom of the World will not make it into the game
>neither will all those beautiful, original mother-like tunes
Everything I love crumbles from beneath me

They waited too long to finish it, now it will look like an Undertale ripoff that was already a Mother ripoff.

this music is fucking fantastic
why the FUCK did shane mesa have to be an autist

has no* composer
