I really shouldn't be telling it here since Sup Forums is horrible, but I can at least remain anonymous
I'm a game developer who formerly worked with Retro Studios on the DKCR port for 3DS and a bit of Tropical Freeze, but have left to form my own company unrelated to video games since
If anybody is wondering what they've been working on, it's an Earthbound remake
If I had to compare it to anything, it's getting the Final Fantasy VII remake treatment
The game won't be turn based, but follow the same plot while taking some liberties with it and be an ARPG
It's very likely it'll be shown off at the Switch direct so you'll see it as well there anyway
I wasn't there very far past the start of development, but I know the project hasn't been scrapped yet
If you have any questions, just ask

Damn I would really love an Earthbound remake. Dont even care if they get rid of the turn based combat, that was never the appeal anyway
Austin Rivera
probably larping but what is the combat system like if not turn-based?
Colton Adams
Do you know any programming languages? Any advice for someone trying to learn C++?
Camden Cook
fake and gay
Austin Watson
Not to doubt OP, but does anyone else know what they are currently working on? They can't stay afloat this long and not have something big planned.

>it's getting the Final Fantasy VII remake treatment which means it's not happening
Henry Foster
Do you expect me to believe that Nintendo would actually put in money for a studio like Retro to make an Earthbound game?
Laughable.
Chase King
Nintendo wouldn't be having one of its major developers working on a remake
Adam Scott
nice shitty unreal engine screenshot with brawl model
Andrew Robinson
Wow, did this post come out of a time capsule?
Camden King
>all the logical details left out >mutliple details pinpointing exactly when OP left Retro, the kind of shit you'd omit if you were actually worried about being caught Seems legit, big if true.

The word reddit spacing was made by oldfags to show that newfags will try to fit in by hating anything with the word reddit in it
Luke Myers
why ARPG?
Austin Wood
i hope this is fake that screen shot looks horrible and not making the gameplay the same sounds like what the fans dont want
Carson Lewis
The first line in the OP says picture not related, you moronic spergs.
Jordan Richardson
The screenshot is not of the earthbound remake but just to give imagery about the earthbound remake
Isaac Johnson
how is a horrible mock up going to help

Retro Studios didn't port the DKCR game to the 3DS.

And Retro didn't port DCKR to 3DS.
Colton Wood
Why is everyone misusing the term larping now? The LA stands for Live Action, you now nerds meeting up in real life and hitting themselves with cardboard swords in costume. If you're pretending to be a game dev online you're just roleplaying.
Tyler Hall
It would not fucking take Retro three years to remake Earthbound. How can you even remake a game like Earthbound? It's lack of distinct battle animations play big into the speculative and aesthetic aspects of the game, how can you recreate that in 3D?
Nathan Taylor
OP is a faggot.
Charles Russell
that's two words, also go back.
Caleb Jones
Yeah They'd proberbly let Hal do it if anything.

will it be the same game with updated graphics like pic related or will it be 3d? will it have any extra content or areas? will it have voice acting? cutscenes? how will the plot be changed? when did development start? (if you don't mind) what are you doing with your company?
