Mother 4 on Twitter
The next revamp I'm putting on youtube deservers a commentary. This one is driving me nuts...The original composer is deceitful. Should I?

This aught to go down in history. It's sheer cartoon perfection.
Only thing annoying about Twitter is when you have to read a retweet from someone you follow BY someone you DON'T follow for THAT reason.
Shine on, you crazy diamonds.
I know this is super nerdy but holy crap, I actually won a contest! I'm the third picture from the top. I'm the cat. http://t.co/1Lwa3uCM
One of the college Jeopardy answers was "planking" to a picture of one of the Wheel of Fortune girls planking in front of the letter board..

Very to glad this project continues to be successful.
July 28th, 2009 at 8:19 pm
This makes me very happy
July 28th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
We appreciate the comments. Feel free.

Well, I can say this looks incredibly professional. It’s almost as if it’s a Nintendo conspiracy with Itoi pulling the strings in the background while Reggie is at the beach telling people MOTHER 3 won’t come to America still…
Or not. But I must say, this project has my full support and I cannot wait for its release. Having just recently gotten enthralled into the MOTHER series and playing them all, I’ve been anxiously awaiting any news on a new one/localization. This’ll be one exciting ride.
Say, is there any word on a “percent done” kinda thing? Also, Itoi mentioned wanting to play the next MOTHER, has he been informed of this?
July 29th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
Wow, thanks for the praise. It’d be nice if we had Itoi working above us here. We have alot of questions that we’d like the answers to.
To answer your question, we’re not entirely sure if Itoi’s aware of our project yet. But in all reality, it’s unlikely. For the moment we’re worrying about completing the game, and dont have any professional aspirations to get it translated and sent to Itoi, though there is talk around the office…

Gonna end up as a bad fanfiction.
July 29th, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Those lines under the PP Counter have me intrigued…some new battle element I presume?
July 29th, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Yes, but the actual function of said meters is to remain confidential, possibly until release.

Scrooge:
We assure you that this game is free of pokemon and poorly thought out story aspects. This, I can assure you personally, as I’m almost exclusively the storyline co-writer.

OMFG THE MAIN CHARACTER HAS MY HAIR!!!! XD
July 29th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
well i guess i have been helping (somewhat), with posting videos that show screenshots of the game. However, i was wondering if i could be the guy in the staff who helps make youtube videos based on the game. (PRETTY PLZ!
)
and as you said u need examples (which u have already saw but for anyone else who is interested in seeing):

i shall be uploading another one with the new screenshots in the future if i ever become part of the staff.

We appreciate your interest in Mother 4, but at this point in time we have all of our video-based media planned and accounted for. the videos you posted on youtube were a delightful surprise to us and we appreciate the display. Do not be discouraged to continue as a fan, but unfortunately we’ve already gotten everything under control. Again, thank you very much, and do not be discouraged.
July 29th, 2009 at 10:54 pm
dang (already had my next video done but now i might as well not release it) oh well, great job in production and i this is sure to be a promising fan game. SHINE ON! everyone shine on!
July 29th, 2009 at 11:25 pm
Like I said, don’t be discouraged. I encourage you to release it.
July 30th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
So far, this is looking brilliant, excellent work Chaisu!
July 30th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
ok well then this is to be the last video i post until the game’s official trailer release.

It’s the best i’ve done.
Plz watch, comment, and rate.
August 1st, 2009 at 7:48 pm
wow i saw this through one of my friends and i was so excited (still excited) if this game makes the big time you can bet it will be pre-ordered and played for a long time
August 3rd, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Is this just for the computer or can I get it on a Nintendo system?
August 3rd, 2009 at 2:18 pm
This is just for the computer. And with the way its written, a port is not likely, as everything would need to be rebuilt from scratch.
(Also note that the game is in no way official, and is only fan-made.)
August 4th, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Whoop!Whoop!Mother 4 RULES!:D
August 6th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
so is there any possibility that this could be released in 2009?
August 7th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
I’d say a 2010 release is much more likely.
But don’t quote me on that. (But I know someone will anyway.)
August 11th, 2009 at 8:38 pm
2 questions:
Will a demo ever be released?
Will we need an emulator to play this?
August 11th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
I choose to overlook the first question, but Mother 4 is being made entirely from GML (Game maker language), and will be released as an EXE (Sorry, mac users), which means that you won’t need anything besides what we provide.
August 12th, 2009 at 9:06 pm
nevermind that question u already answered it b4… (my bad)
September 14th, 2009 at 7:23 am
Will there be features consistent to the past games such as
Naming your characters, friends, (pet), favorites, etc.
and the ‘Don’t Care feature’?
September 14th, 2009 at 10:30 am
Yes of course! You’ll be able to name your characters (etcetera) whatever you please. Or use the Don’t Care function.
September 15th, 2009 at 3:49 am
sweet, really lookin forward to this. How is the story coming along?
September 15th, 2009 at 4:53 am
Actually I found the blogs so I’m up to date. However, I wanna know if Porky/Pokey will have a role in this game because I’ve had a few ideas for a game in my mind after playing Mother 2&3 consecutively and reading Itoi’s interview. So I’d figure I have to wait anyway. I might have a few Ideas for a Mother 5 (if only) so once again, keep up the good work and cheers!
September 17th, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Storyline questions are when things get sensitive, and when we start calling things “Classified”. We accept all questions and answer to the best of our ability, but that one’s a bit much. Feel free to ask anything that comes to mind.
November 7th, 2009 at 9:21 pm
I have a question: Can we do anything for help?
November 12th, 2009 at 2:30 pm
It’s going to be made with Game Maker…?
Man, I’ve always hated that program because I think it’s not good at all for large-scale projects at all.
