And to top it off, we’ve got some enemy and game mechanic concepts from CalixJumi, Cheesiest, Gamepopper, MalixDexide, and Masamune.

It’s hard to describe it. I don’t know where you could use this piece, but I figure it wouldn’t hurt to submit it. Hope you like it.

I actually think I did a good job with this tune. It’s short, but it’s smooth and relaxing music.

If you need sound effects, I’m you’re guy. It might be cool for each level of pk move in addition to each type of move have a unique sound.

I saw the screenshot of the backhoe and said to myself, “I MUST make music for this!”. It’s kind of intense and deep.

It basically is like an instrumental way of saying, “Voila!” That would be cool, a town or a character that was from another decade completely…

This piece in 3 words: funky, techno, Arcade.
It’s a little different than Eartbound or Mother 3’s arcade.

I made a song that would play in some icy region or in a mysterious cave. Also kinda sounds like some sorta ship fulla fog and junk. Enjoy.

Good work you guys, keep it up!

Hey The Dave,
Do you get to name the characters in the game, or are the names automatically assigned.
November 21st, 2009 at 5:48 pm
You get to name them.
See here.
And here.
Also here.
And finally, here.
November 21st, 2009 at 8:50 pm
haha Sorry, chronic insomnia really affects ones mind, so I’ve been kind of in and out lately.
November 22nd, 2009 at 2:07 pm
Quite alright.
November 23rd, 2009 at 3:26 am
when you submit a fan submission
is it supposed to go up in the “fan submissions” section immediately?
November 23rd, 2009 at 11:38 am
Umm… most of 2Sangs songs are just the same 5-10 notes of music repeated over and over. Mother games all have much longer, more elaborate music with distinct melodies. I don’t think these submissions are a very good fit for Mother 4.
November 23rd, 2009 at 12:00 pm
@Eraser
They must be approved first. When they’ve been approved they’ll show up in the fan submissions section. I only do features after I’ve approved so many.
@Zaxtur
While that may be true, there was at least some effort put into them, so I approved them. Perhaps a change to the guidelines would be good now that we’ve got more content out.
November 24th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
It’s cool because the city theme reminds me of the theme we have set up for our big city. Alot of the stuff we get corresponds with stuff we already have. I guess alot of people have similar visions of a Mother 4.
I actually really like 2Sang’s work. A couple of her peices really stand out to me.
I’m also really liking JMachine’s newest song.
November 25th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Whilst they are pitifully short in legnth, i have to agree with Dave and Zephys. They’re by no means bad songs, and a couple are, in fact, really catchy little loops.
And aww, Zephys, you flatter me! In hindsight, i probebly could’ve done more with the song then i ended up doing… But after about 3 days of near continous work, most of which involved countless program crashes and lost progress, i just wanted to get the damn thing finished. Eh, still, it’s probebly for the best; the sheer amout of samples in the bloody thing were already capping the memory limit my program allows me for each song already, and spending any longer trying to make the samples trying to sound trippy enough was already doing a number on my lack-of-sleep ridden mind at the time.
… I’ve got to stop typing so damn much.
I’m happy it’s gone down well this end of things as well as over at Starmen, at least. It makes the pain worth it. XD
November 25th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
And because i completely forgot to say it in my last comment; I personally love Neojock’s peice. The combination of a somewhat simple beat, the smooth melody, that harsh synth sample that kicks in near the end, and that distorted-sounding loop that pops up once or twice (Which i swear sounds almost exactly like something Aubry Hodges would’ve done for the Playstation version of Doom. Which is a GOOD thing) are all neatly rolled together in an incredibly pleasing way.
November 27th, 2009 at 9:06 am
Wow. The fans here are so great, their submissions have been getting more pages than the actual game itself (which annoys me, because I need some more ’source’ for another wallpaper).
There’s a lot of music in this one, which annoys me because I can only really have time to be here at my school. but, considering the stuff that I’ve been hearing before, I’m sure I’ll be impressed. I’ll always kind of envy people with even slight decency in composing music, keep up the good work.
I do have a question for The Dave, though. Nothing necessarily about the game itself, but what’s it like to work on it? What are the ‘highs and lows’ of what you’re doing? And is there any aspect of what you’re doing that you didn’t see coming when you started the project?
Of course, you don’t have to answer, I’m just wondering. Regardless, I’m sure that everyone is supporting you 100%, right here, from the sidelines, and we’re eager to help out.
November 30th, 2009 at 11:14 am
I must say Neojock’s piece was awesome. I dunno, ounds pretty faniliar from something like chrono trigger, or even final fantasy. I love it, and excellent job!
December 6th, 2009 at 7:48 am
I do not know if you people know but misters itoi’s(do not know first name) inspiration came from john Lennon’s song Mother. no really he said so himself. and other music from the Beatles(like the album sgt. peppers lonely hearts club band) all i want to say is maybe you should use that a li’l you know. too and to back up this story search on youtube for the videos
December 6th, 2009 at 6:16 pm
I have one question. Will It work on macs?
December 6th, 2009 at 7:29 pm
That’s yet to be determined, but as of now its looking like a yes.
December 10th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
Ppl, all of the songs are great, good job everyone. Im really looking forward to play this game!!!!
December 10th, 2009 at 7:47 pm
I want to submit a picture, but it won’t let me even though I followed the file guideline.:’(
December 10th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
What type of file are you submitting? (.png, .gif or .jpg?) And what is the size of the file? (How many KB or MB?)
December 14th, 2009 at 4:43 pm
Im just gonna say that being a HUGE Earthbound fan and the music used in it. I have to aggure that 2sang’s songs are easily the best ones so far not only are they very Nintendo like but its almost as if they belong in an Earthbound game it has the feel and everything. Just need to make them longer (obviously these were shortened samplers) but I highly recommend that you use alot of these songs he has made for you guys.
December 24th, 2009 at 9:51 am
The picture is .png and I am new so I’m not surest how to do things. I don’t know the file size, and I have a PC, but I don’t know how to read the size.
December 24th, 2009 at 9:58 am
One thing has put me in a bad mood, and that’s the fact that I was about to go to Fire Spring but something happened (that might have to to do with my brother unplugging everything and putting in Shaq-fu), and now my Super Nintendo has problems with sound and all my data was reset and my brother was already past/at Magicant, but I’m going try to ask for a Super Nintendo cable for my birthday, and hopefully my mom can get it eventhough my birthday is in July.
December 24th, 2009 at 3:36 pm
I just stumbled across this via youtube, and I must say I’m really excited and very impressed with everything so far.
I really only have one main concern related to the story and everything. I know you guys plan to tie in the other games to this one, however the story of the entire Mother series is very complex. I think this is one of the reasons why the series is one of the best of all time.
I’m just curious if you will be taking this into account with the story line.
December 24th, 2009 at 5:47 pm
@PSI Kid
Hope you can get your SNES working again!
As for the picture, right click on the file and choose “Properties” from the menu that appears. In the window that pops up, toward the center, it will tell you the size of the file. If it’s over 3 MB, then its too big. You might try shrinking the image in Paint or some photo editing software.
@Kamineyeahha
I’m not one of the writers, but I can say that we aim to keep the spirit of the Mother series alive in our fan game. Our goal is to get this to feel like a true Mother game, as ambitious as that may be. So yes, we are certainly taking that into account.
December 26th, 2009 at 10:24 am
I’m trying to change it now, thanks Dave!
December 27th, 2009 at 9:37 pm
The Dave i have a question, how is this game is going to be played? i mean, will it be with an emulator and rom? or will it be a different type system? Also, do i need like a really good cpu to play it?
December 29th, 2009 at 10:32 am
will there be a dog in the fan game like on mother 1, mother 2, and mother3?
December 31st, 2009 at 4:57 am
@Paulg27
The game will be play the same as any other computer game, download the program and give it a run. No roms or emulators here. I’m aiming to keep the system requirements at a minimum, right now the game can run on a low-end system without a problem. (Also, please see the FAQs)
@Mother_fan
You’ll have to wait and see!
January 9th, 2010 at 7:09 am
