Ok, this isn’t so much as an idea as a small project of mine, but I don’t really have enough to show for it to make a thread, so I’ll say what I have here. I’m attempting to make a game where you play as the Mac Pizza Man (or Ness, haven’t decided yet, but have the sprites for both) and deliver pizza to people all over Eagleland. It’s sort of a puzzle game of some kind, where I’ll have various puzzles in each delivery you make, such as Zelda-style push the obstacles around, or just plain moving through mazes of trees/fences, dodging enemies (stealth level, sorta) or just hitting switches in the right order, etc.

So far, I’ve made most of the basic “engine” on gamemaker, almost finished the first level, and though I’d put this up here to see if anyone’s interested. It’s really just an idea I had and decided to quickly plug into gamemaker before I’d forget.

I’ll attach the gamemaker file if anyone’s interested enough in it to take a look.


Also, I’ve got text boxes to pop up in place of the ugly ones gammaker comes with, but I can’t seem to figure out how to get rid of that white gunk surrounding them. (I took a screenshot of EB, cut out the textbox, and made it appear with different writing on it each time so a certain event happens.) I’ve attached a screenshot of the problem

So I had an idea to create a new mother game, combing old characters and new. Basically, Ness, Lucas, and Ninten, along with new player Gabe are sent back in time, to find the past filled with monsters from all the mother games, along with new monsters. It’s still a work in progress, and I still need some things to complete it.

I need a battle sprite for new character Gabe.
And Mother 1 and 3 character and enemy sprites. If you could help me out, I’d really appreciate it.
I’ll keep you posted on my progress. _

Game topics must follow these guidelines. So I’ll be moving this to the brainstorming topic until you can meet those guidelines.

sprite Armada

    So I was workin’ on a Mother CCG.





    I’ll post a topic when I get more info. I need artists, too. :U

    sprite TidalEspeon

      I think you’ll need to be a bit more specific on that last card.
      concerning that cardLike, how much does Fire damage go down when equipped?
      Also, how do I get my spoilers to not be words obscured by duct tape? (I know its not, but it kinda reminds me of it)

      This topic may help you with that.

      I’m linking you to it because I haven’t figured it myself. Dammit.

      sprite TidalEspeon

        I’ll explain how it works, in an easier-to-understand way:
        If a spoiler isn’t the first thing in your post, it will get the duct tape. But if you place it two spaces after the last non-spoiler words/text, it will show up as a box.
        for example:

        I like nachos


        with cheese

        but if you take away that space separating the “i like nachos” and the spoiler, look what happens:

        I like nachos
        with cheese

        Always put at least one space between non-spoilers and spoilers. I figured this topic wouldn’t be a bad place to post this explanation, since I made a mistake concerning spoilers in the M5 topic. Thanks for linking me to the topic, Smash Bass.

        I guess this sort of fits in the brainstorm topic:

        So, I’m trying to make a game with FF-esque graphics, so, for example, I’ve got a dark mage sprite. I want to make it bigger (and less pixely, so I double the size of the pixels (as it was originally drawn using the smallest brush gimp has to offer)
        So I redrew it using a 2 by 2 brush instead of 1 by 1, and my question is, will it look bad if I try to round it off by adding additional smaller pixels in diagonal lines. I have attached a two pictures, one the original, and the other with smoothed out diagonals.
        Any experienced sprite editiors ave anything to say about this?

        It’ll end up looking much better given that a good job is done, and the attached picture looks fine. You just have to be prepared to do all that extra work.
        Or you can try putting the sprites through a smoothing filter but I don’t know how well that will work.

        I just remembered that for my Kirby RPG game, (see last page, last post) I need someone to make sprites. Only problem is I can’t choose between SNES Kirby Super Star or DS Ultra graphics.

        Well to be fair, it’s a Minccino.

        I have an idea. Nobody steal it though. A Punch Out!! RPG! Think about it, it could work. The story would be simple enough (rescue the princess by getting the 7 keys to unlock the castle she is held captive in), and by leveling up you would learn magic! The battle system would be the same as normal Punch Out!!, except it would be kind of medievil (don’t know how to spell that! ) Your character would have a magic bar during fights that he could use to cast magic, but once you use it up, it’s gone for the rest of the fight. Also, whenever you beat one of the big bosses guarding a key, you get new boxing gloves, which don’t improve your attack power but give you another star punch, for a total of 8 different star punches including your first one. The magic would be stuff like Thunder, Fire, Earth, Water, Healing and Wind and they would all have tougher versions (like the Mother series: PK Fire alpha, beta ect.) The tougher versions would take more out of your magic bar. Enemies would be seen on the overworld (like EarthBound and Mother 3) and when you touch them, you engage in the Punch Out!! style battle scene! This game would obviously have to be made for the computer, because every magic attack would have it’s own button on the keyboard. All magic would have three versions. Controls would probably be: punch left is Z, punch right is X, punch up left is hold UP press Z, punch up right is hold UP press X, dodge left is LEFT, dodge right is RIGHT, block is DOWN, Thunder 1,2 and 3 is E,D and C respectively, Fire is R,F and V ect. ect.

        Also, the graphics and music would be NES styled. I would soooo make this if I had the time, but there is so many good games I have yet to play.

        Would anybody play a mother 2.5? Lots of 1.5s, 3.5s, 4s, etc. exist, but I have yet to see a 2.5. (not saying I would necessarily make it, I just though it would be an interesting idea. I may try, though.)

        ^I might play it.

        On the app store for you itouch/iphone, they relesed megaman 2. Here’s how it works, theres a joy-stick on the bottom of the screen and the A and B botton you touch and slide to control him. The problem is that that Idea sux for megaman.

        But the Idea would not suck for earthbound. What they can do is have the L,R,X,Y,B, and A bottons at the bottom to do the actions, and to control Ness, you slide you finger across the screen to control him.

        Who’s with me on that Idea? I would buy that for my iphone.

        I have an idea! Someone should make a game inspired by Earthbound 64!
        Same graphics, design. What we thought the game was going to be like.
        It’s probably not going to happen, but I’d like to see a fan game like that.

        So would anyone be willing to hint me towards a M3 battle script? I want to make a game based about the Mother 1 character of Teddy. Gang Wars haha. THink anyone would want to play that? Possibly? I’m trying to get a M3 teddy sprite aswell.

          If you’re willing to work with Game Maker, i can send you my combo battle system example. This also goes to anyone else who wants to work with it.

          Thanks Tidal , but I don’t know how to use game maker properly. I tried learning it. I need a script menu battle system for RPG Maker XP. I’m not worried about combo stuff though.

          I had an idea for a fangame called Mother Resurrection awile back, which would implement elements from the entire series including a crucial Mother 3 reference (well, I think it’s crucial anyway). I don’t know what maker I would’ve used, but I was leaning toward RPG Maker XP or Game Maker. I probably won’t ever finish it, unless someone happens to come out with a darn good universal editor for Mother-style games, but I guess I can at least give you a rundown on what the backstory was going to be. I used spoiler tags since the end of Mother 3 is mentioned.


          Anyway, for the backstory (and remember this is a FAN GAME, not to be taken as fact). When Lucas restores the world to its original pre-apocalyptic state, everyone dies in the process. But with death comes resurrection, so everyone is revived. But more than that, they’re reincarnated (they all still look the same though). The main Mother 3 cast knows what had happened and everything (as stated in the Mother 3 ending), but nobody else has any idea that anything had ever happened at all, and life goes on as if Mother 3 never happened (from those peoples’ frame of reference).

          Well, the Dragon under the Nowhere Islands is also aware of what had happened and that she restored the world, and it turns out that the dragon is in fact female, and aptly named Mother. And not only is she female, but she is pregnant (guess who got her pregnant…). She gives birth to a half-dragon female named Kyra, who has an incredibly high affinity with PSI (we’re talking even moreso than Mother). Several years pass underground, which on the surface is equivalent to about one year. Being a half-dragon, Kyra ages like a human and reaches 12 in relatively short order, and without much trouble.

          But on the surface, the Pig Army (who still have memories of what happened) is excavating an area that is very close to where Mother is (no, it isn’t Porky’s capsule). Sensing that the Pig Army is looking for something that could potentially destroy the world, Mother sends Kyra to the surface to investigate the matter (she can’t go herself, since the last time she surfaced she obliterated the Nowhere Islands, leaving nothing more than a big crater surrounded by mountains). Kyra heads to the surface (being able to temporarily fly due to a PSI cast on her by Mother), where you see the title screen and an intro showing different areas of the world and what’s going on everywhere, and the game begins.

            i’ve been pondering on creating a mother card game for quite a while now. i have a basic idea and a program that can generate any card data i put into a patch, but i need to batter around some ideas with some people.

            here is the basic information that i have come up with so far:
            -the series will cover all three mother games
            -players will be able to mix and match characters and items from all three games
            -not only will the main 4 characters from each game will be implemented, but also many secondary characters as well (such as Picky, King, Wess, and Alec)
            -all PSI and PK abilities will be in the game, as well as special abilities that party members may have (such as Duster’s Theif’s Tools)
            -bosses will definitely be in the game, and i’m up for regular enemies as well if i can find a use for them

            here is what i mainly need help with:
            -number of cards that are in play
            -character card stats
            -battle system
            -i would like the game to be much quirkier and weird than any other game that has come before it, so i need some creative ideas

            if you would like to participate in this venture, or if you just have an idea that i could use, please feel free to contact me using AIM or dropping me a PM. if you’re interested in heavy participation, i suggest either replying in this thread or PM’ing me saying what you would like to do and with any information regarding your instant messaging program preference (AIM, Windows Messenger, Yahoo!, Skype, etc.).

            help me make this idea become a reality!

            That’s exactly what I need in order to start making the game. Granted there will probably be some noticable differences if I do this. I’d planned on there being 3 difficulties to choose from, the option to carry certain things over to subsequent playthroughs and also unlock extra areas and items on said playthroughs (there is one very unexpected character that you can get on your second playthrough).

            I downloaded Game Maker recently, and I had been trying to do a a very short game that has RPG elements, it will not be related to EarthBound, but it will have EarthBound sprites (already made the main character, and some NPC)
            But I suck at programming, Im gonna need a lot of practice. Maybe in the future when I learn how to, I could make something EarthBound related.

            I’ve been thinking about making a game using PRG Maker VX called The Fantasical Wonder Journeys of Ricky!, and although it won’t really be related to EB, it would have similar humor. I actually think it would be a lot like the SNES game Live-a-Live, where you play through like 7 scenarios that are all very different and then it all comes together at ther end, although it would where Ricky, a normal ADHD kid magically travels through time and space, getting himself into some sticky situations (i.e. becoming a shield-bearer for a champion knight going into battle, or getting sucked into a final fantasy-esque video game where he has to complete it to get out, etc…)

            I figured i’d post in here. And probebly will end up posting here quite a few times. Before reading on, i’ll warn any readers passing by; I am a wordy S.O.B that WILL type a lot of details that will occasionally seem like rambling. It’s a nasty habit of mine that i really can’t kick. So, for that, i apologise… <<;;

            I’ve had an idea, and most of an outlinned story for a Mother fangame of my own, currently named Mother: Radical Dreams (and, no, that’s not ‘Radical’ in the ‘Oh DUDE, that was so RAD!!’ sense), but i might be changing the subtitle. But, rather then a sequel, it’s a prequel. Although it doesn’t contain any characters that appear in later games (Although there are a few hints to minor relations here and there to some of them), it’s supposed to somewhat set in motion the event’s that unfold later in the series.


            As well as set up a vicious circle between Giegue, Giygas, and this story’s antagonist.


            The game takes place at the begining of Febuary, 1980, on as insland just off the coast of Torque, england, named Kings Island. A fairly big (both commercially and literally) island with a few towns and villages and major holiday resort, that’s drawn in nationalities from all over the globe. The two central characters are two brothers, Jason and Simon, whom, along with their family, had moved to the island a month prior. One evening, the pair end up in an arguement with their younger brother, Miles, whom storms off on his own. Hour pass, and he hasn’t returned, so Jason and Simon sneak out in the dead of night to go and look for him themselves. They eventually find him… Unfortunetly, he’s not exactly very… ‘active’, if i can be ambiguous.

            Soon after, more children end up going missing, some turning up in increasingly grizzly states, some end up having night terrors of an unimaginable magnitude, effective enough to stop them from wanting to sleep, others claim to have seen strange, unimaginable things in the dead of night, and the wildlife is begining to go into a frenzy. The island is plunged right into a state of fear, where previously unlocked doors are now firmly bolted, people refuse to wander the streets at night.

            What follows is a chain of events, ranging from funny to bizzare, happy to sad, and creepy to downright horrifying. The brothers will meet new friends, each who have suffered their own tradegies, a wide cast of supporting characters who all play larger roles then you would expect, and discover how each and every minute of their adventure connects with a figure from the islands history that’s remained omnipreasent since the victorian times…
            A dancing clown named “Pied”.

            It should be noted that this story is more or less the “horror” story of the series, albiet a non-official entry to it. Don’t be turned away because of that; It has it’s funny moments, it has it’s just plain strange moments, and i’m hoping it will tug at your heartstrings at points, but there is a fairly big horror vibe that will enter into the story at various points. Heck, if you’re the savy type you might already have an idea what inspired the plot, and figure out how it ties in with the name of the setting…

            I haven’t yet gotten this game properly off the ground because i am completely useless at coding, programming, or working with software like the RPG Maker program’s. All i have to show for the project right at this minute is a few songs (one or two of which i’m not sure i’m going to end up using), and a few peices of concept art. Which is the primary reason i could just start a new thread for all of this, in spite of the ammount of things i’m sharing here.

            First things first, i’ll link you directly to where i have the music uploaded. Theres 8 peices up so far, with more to follow in the near future.
            http://www.last.fm/music/J-MACHine/MOTHER%3A+Radical+Dreams+Soundtrack

            I’ve attatched two pictures of the central characters, Jason and Simon, that i drew sometime back in april. I’ll swap the pictures around when i get around to doing new ones.

            I’ll provide you with some very quick Bio’s for both the boys;


            Age: 11
            Favorite Food: Pepperbread
            Weapon of Choice: Cricket Bat
            Fear: He’s deathly afraid of Wolves.
            Talent: He’s a remarkably good Piano player in spite of his age. He’s already achived a Grade 8

            Although scatterbrained, somewhat hyperactive, and a machine that spews endless lines filled with bad puns (and he has some bizzare, logic defying yet fantastic hair to boot), Jason is something of a born leader. Scatterbrained he may be, but he WILL eventually finish what he sets out to do (It just depends on when he’ll acctually get around to doing it), he’s confident, if a little cocky at times, easy to become friends with, and is as loyal a friend as you could hope to have. However, there might be more going on in his inner workings then his cocky, fun-loving attitude may lead you to believe…
            As mentioned, he’s also a very talented musician, and ones of the peices he’s ‘composed’ plays a pivitol role in the game. He is also Psisonic, usingly mostly defensive PSI moves like most of the main heroes of the series. Although he does have one specific move that, un suprisingly, relates to his musical abilities.


            Age: 13
            Favorite Food: Honey
            Weapon of Choice: Football (as in European football)
            Fear: He suffers from both Necrophobia (fear of the dead), and Nyctophobia (fear of the dark)
            Talent: He’s an incredibly active child, skilled in many sports; mostly football.

            You’d be forgiven for assuming Simon was the younger brother, not Jason. And not just because of the height difference; Simon is a shy, nervous, naive, and very easilly scared little guy without a lot of self confidence. Beyond that, however, he’s an incredibly polite, well behaved child that wouldn’t think twice about lending an ear to bend or a shoulder to cry on. He tries his best to remain brave in the face of danger… But it doesn’t usually go very well.
            In spite of this, he is suprisingly very strong. His kick is notorious for being fast and hard, and woe betide anybody who is on the reciving end of said kick. Or the ball kicked by said foot. He, like his brother, is Psisonic, however his PSI abilities are all fire based, and he seems to only be able to use them well under great emotional stress, regardless of weather it’s fear or anger.

            In terms of little gameplay idea’s i’ve had, the only one i don’t think anyone else has yet tried is a Day/Night system. Theres a few reasons why this idea exists;

            1) To advance the story. Certain events will only happen at day and night, and the time of day will not change, nor the story move foward, until these events occour. This is, in part, a benefit to grinding as well as story; If the plot won’t advance, enemies won’t increase in strength, and you can continue battling them until you feel you’re ready to move on. Speaking of enemies…

            2) Enemy types will change between day and night. To balance the humour and the horror, i’ve decided that the slightly more ‘horrific’ enemies will only appear at night, whilst the more humerous ones will appear during the day.

            and 3) Certain Area’s can only be accsessed at either day or night. This could tie in with Events, but certain area’s will not be open to you at day, like some of the area’s in the ‘Holiday Resort Town’. Namely, the Theme Park would only be available to you during the evening/ night.

            How you’d go about implanting such a thing i don’t know, but it’s an idea that’s been around since the very begining that, i have to say, i’m shocked nobody had thought of before. (Although i suppose that could be because it would, naturally, bring a lot of complications into programming).

            Well, theres my two… hundread cents. If you’re not asleep or chuckling to yourself after reading all of that, i applaud you. I wasn’t even sure about posting all of that myself, due to my self concious attitude. << If it’s interested at least one of you, then i’ll be happy to know my fingers weren’t excersizes for naught. XD

            Hi there, I’ve came up with the idea of Earthbound DS. So far I’ve started working on the plot of every chapter, I’m now on chapter 5. The story begins on Duportanion in Suburia, where the main hero, Blake lives along with his single mother, his older brother Eric (18), his sister Sass (17), and young brother (7). He’s friends with the owner of Suburia Estate son, Alendeo Jorudin, who for some reason took a interest in Pokey Minch as a role model, it’s the only thing he’d talk about to Blake, until he watched a documentary about him being trapped within a capsule for the end of time. I’ll post some more after this.

              So I’m helping with the production of an RPG Fangame.

              Giving my two cent’s here and there finding people to help with the game such as composers and spriters, I even made the first trailer for the game just to help them out.

              Now i’ve been helping with this game for a while doing the aforementioned duty’s of finding some staff members and giving some ideas but my main idea the one I truly want to be implemented is…

              “Fantasy’s Collapse”

              Now at this point you may be asking your self whats “Fantasy’s Collapse”?

              Well its the reason I’m making this thread as it is my “RPG Idea”.

              {Warning Long Posts In Spoilers}


              “Fantasy’s Collapse” a challenge mode in the game, I’ll let the script I wrote take it from here.

              {You walk into a certain area of the or a cut scene happens }

              {Screen Flashes White}

              {A glowing portal appears}

              [Gina] …What is that?

              {Ralph walks around it for a sec}

              [Ralph] If I had to guess?

              [Ralph] A rip in reality.

              [Rick] What ever it is it’s creeping me out.

              [Gina] So what does it do?

              [Ralph] Well this rip could theoretically contain anyone or anything within it.

              [Ralph] Be it from past present or future, a different galaxy, or a different reality all together.

              [???] Be not afraid…the anomaly you see before you is know as.

              [???] Fantasy’s Collapse.

              [Rick] “Fantasy’s Collapse”?

              [???] Yes…it is a rip in which all reality converges into one point.

              [???] Into a nexus of reality in which many beings are transported.

              [???] As the one known as “Ralph” said it can contain every being in existence.

              [???] And none of them at all.

              [Ralph] How is that possible?

              [???] It isn’t.

              [Gina] My head hurts.

              [Rick] So Let me ask you two things.

              [???] Go right ahead one known as “Rick”.

              [Rick] First, who are you?

              [???] I am the one who governs Fantasy’s Collapse.

              [???] But I am also Fantasy’s Collapse itself, you beings may call me the “Sovereign”.

              [Rick] Okay Sovereign that answers my first question.

              [Rick] Second, why are you telling us all this?

              [Sovereign] Very good question one known as “Rick”.

              [Sovereign] I have opened Fantasy’s Collapse to give you all a chance that few realities get.

              [Ralph] But how can few realities get this chance if it contains every being in existence?

              [Sovereign] Exactly.

              [Ralph] But that doesn’t answer my…

              [Ralph] Never mind it’s to confusing even for me.

              [Sovereign] The reason I’ve appeared before you is so that you may enter and take the challenge that I pose to all.

              [Gina] What Challenge?

              [Sovereign] In some world’s they treat me as A test for strength in others I’m treated as a execution.

              [Sovereign] I’d like to know what you’d use Fantasy’s Collapse for?

              [Sovereign] So ones known as.

              [Sovereign] “Son”

              [Sovereign] “Gina”

              [Sovereign] “Ralph”

              [Sovereign] and “Rick”

              [Sovereign] Will you enter and face the unknown of all reality?

              {Choose No} [Sovereign] Very well, but I will be here for all eternity and existence so when ever you feel you are ready to take the challenge return and I shall be here to test you.

              {Choose Yes} [Sovereign] Hmm I see, you are ready to take on reality itself and all within it on a simple whim.

              [Sovereign] Are you sure?

              Choosing no go’s back to the “No” option

              {Choose Yes} [Sovereign] So you’ve made up your mind.

              [Sovereign] Good, there is no time for second guessing in Fantasy’s Collapse

              {Son walks in}

              [Rick] Ladies first.

              [Gina] Thank you.

              [Rick] Actually I was talking to Ralph.

              {Rick walks in}

              [Gina] Last one in’s a “Worthless Protoplasm”.

              {Gina walks in}

              [Ralph] It’s so improbable I must test it.

              {Ralph walks in}


              Also there could be a HUB world where you can buy items, rest, and save.

              [IMG] http://i515.photobucket.com/albums/t355/fox4729/PrototypeMap.jpg [/IMG] (NOTE: I’m not a spriter or an artist, the map may look like crap but it’s the only thing I have to work with)

              So basically you go to FC and talk to the “Sovereign’s Statue” and from there you can pick what challenge you want to take.

              And after completing a certain objective you could get an item called “Fantasy’s Hook” (A reference to the “Onyx Hook” from MOTHER1) that automatically transports you to “Fantasy’s Collapse” and when you leave your transported to the same spot you left.

              I came up with this just a bit ago.

              FC Challenge Options

              Random Battle: A quick fight for a small prize.

              Random Boss Battle: A quick fight for a larger prize. (Must be unlocked by completing a certain objective)

              Endless Wave: A limitless endurance match your prizes depend of how long you last. (FC HUB can be accessed every three fightes so that players can rest, restock and save)

              Objective Gauntlet: A fight with pre-set goals for more skilled players. (Goals include: No PSI, No Items, No Healing, Don’t let any party members faint, No Reviving downed party members, Last ( ) amount of turns, No physical attacks, Defeat enemy with a pre-set status aliment, Don’t Lose more than ( ) HP, Defeat enemy with specific attack, No PSI restoration Items, Defeat enemy without equips, ect)

              Challengers Conquest: Fight though fifty rounds of enemy’s to reach the top. (Boss every ten rounds)


              {The 4 Enter Fantasy’s Collapse}

              [Sovereign] Welcome to Fantasy’s Collapse.

              [Rick] So when do we get to fight those tough enemy’s you mentioned?

              [Sovereign] Soon one known as “Rick”.

              [Gina] What is that over there?

              {The view scroll’s over to an alien standing in front of the challenge room}

              [Sovereign] That is another being that has come to take the challenge.

              [Sovereign] New beings come from all different realities, times, and planets to fight here.

              [Rick] So it’s kinda like a “Inter-Dimension All-out Brawl”?

              [Ralph] Basically.

              [Ralph] But I have a question, what do you do when a certain “guest” doesn’t what to follow the rules?

              [Ralph] I’m sure not everyone who come’s here is exactly intelligent.

              [Sovereign] Very true, any being the shows signs of aggression is dealt with in one of three ways.

              [Sovereign] One they are sent back to there world and the gate to Fantasy’s Collapse is shut in there world.

              [Sovereign] Two they are held here to be used as beasts for a challenge.

              [Sovereign] Or three they are considered too dangerous and are locked a pocket of reality with beings of equal danger until they exterminate themselves and the others.

              [Gina] That’s horrible!

              [Sovereign] Yes it is one known as "Gina’ but it must be done.

              [Sovereign] Please take a look around to see if Fantasy’s Collapse meet’s your standards.

              {Walk around check the hot spring, save lizard, and store run by a “Mr. Saturn”}

              {Then to talk to the Sovereign again you go to a statue sculpted to look like a “Your Sanctuary” Star}

              [Gina] Well we’ve checked out every little corner of Fantasy’s Collapse.

              [Gina] And now I only have one question.

              [Sovereign] Ask away one known as “Gina’”.

              [Gina] I know that you watch over Fantasy’s Collapse and at the same time your it as well.

              [Gina] But my question is, Who created Fantasy’s Collapse?

              [Sovereign] Very good question one known as “Gina”.

              [Gina] Just “Gina” is fine and that goes for all of us just call use our names.

              [Sovereign] Very well Gina, No one has asked me that question in about one hundred thousand years.

              [Sovereign] Well I suppose I’ll start from the beginning.

              [Sovereign] Long ago a group of alien’s whose name I forget the only thing I remember is that they were tall gray and cat like in appearance.

              [Sovereign] At first I was created as a A.I and stored with all the information in there data banks of other worlds, times, dimensions, and other things.

              [Sovereign] It’s seems my alien creators were actually over lords bent on the destruction and enslavement of all who opposed them.

              [Sovereign] To do so they first Ripped open a portal in space and time.

              [Sovereign] Since it was said to be able to collapse at any second due to instability they named it “Fantasy’s Collapse” because scientifically it shouldn’t exist in this or any other reality.

              [Sovereign] I was created to over see the maintenance of “FC” to check it’s stability daily even sometimes hourly, to enter it to make sure no other creatures discovered it, and many other things.

              [Sovereign] This went on for thousands of years, until one day something went wrong the race’s that were being destroyed and enslaved banded together to create a resistance.

              [Sovereign] It was an all out war.

              [Sovereign] Nearly all of them were destroyed, except a select few I’d say there were twenty of them that survived.

              [Sovereign] From that twenty, two scientist stepped forward and told me that they were about to enter a ship with the remaining survivors.

              [Sovereign] So that they could rebuild there fallen society and since they didn’t want there technologically falling into the wrong hands they decided to toss what was left of it within “FC” and close it.

              [Sovereign] I stayed in “FC” for what felt like an eternity as time is never easy to tell in a place where it dose not exist.

              [Sovereign] After a while a electric discharge caused by a sudden flux in reality hit me, and the computer I was stored in was destroyed.

              [Sovereign] Yet I was still continence of my existence it seemed that I had became one with Fantasy’s Collapse.

              [Sovereign] And then I remembered what was stored in my data banks so long ago.

              [Sovereign] The worlds, the realities, the times, the races.

              [Sovereign] I immediately tested my new ability’s an opened a tear in space and time.

              [Sovereign] After time I grew tired of just watching other worlds, So I began changing “FC” into an arena for those who would enter and fight for sport and now it has become this.

              [Sovereign] My own world in-between the rest, made for those who love the challenge of battle.

              [Ralph] That’s amazing.

              [Sovereign] So are you four ready to fight?

              [Rick] Yeah we’re ready let’s go!


              [Sovereign] I’m glad to see your quite enthusiastic.

              [Sovereign] There are just a few things I want to go over.

              [Rick] I thought we we’re finally about to get to the fighthing!

              [Sovereign] Fantasy’s Collapse is more that just mindless fighting Rick.

              [Ralph] I guess that mean’s your out of luck.

              [Rick] Zip it small fry!

              [Gina] Please continue Sovereign.

              [Sovereign] Thank you Gina.

              [Sovereign] First is the “Random Battle” this is an option for those who want a quick fight with a randomly chosen enemy.

              [Sovereign] Next is the “Endless Wave” A challenge for those who would like to test their endurance, if you manage to last long enough you can obtain prize’s for your efforts.

              [Sovereign] Also there is the “Objective Gauntlet” for those who would like to fight with handicaps to further their skill’s.

              [Sovereign] And last of all is the “Challengers Conquest” a fifty round challenge to work your way to the top where you’ll fight one of the strongest beings in existence.

              [Ralph] Wow what a diverse system of battle’s.

              [Sovereign] Thank you Ralph, To chose your fight please stand in front of the door and the option’s I just explained will be offered to you so you may pick one.

              {Also there is an unlock-able mode and an extra item}
              —-
              [Sovereign] It’s seems you’ve made some progress in FC so I’d like to reward you with a new challenge.

              [Rick] Sweet more fight’s.

              [Sovereign] For those who want a quick fight with a stronger enemy the “Random Boss Battle” after the boss is defeated you win a larger prize that you would by completing a “Random Battle”.
              —-

              [Sovereign] You’ve proven yourselves worthy of claiming this prize here’s the “Fantasy’s Hook”.

              [Sovereign] It will instantly send you to FC without having to return to the point were I opened the portal.

              [Sovereign] Using it in FC will send you back to the point in your world where you used it.

              [Gina] Thanks Sovereign this will help alot.

              Objectives for the “Objective Gauntlet” (Goals include: No PSI, No Items, No Healing, Don’t let any party members faint, No Reviving downed party members, Last ( ) amount of turns, No physical attacks, Defeat enemy with a pre-set status aliment,

                  I guess I put it in the wrong place, but I don’t see how?

                  It’s a topic about an Idea for a part or mode of a game meaning we’d be discussing it in the section of the forum called “Beyond Fangamer” and the subtitle say’s…

                  “If it’s about a game/console and it doesn’t have its own forum, we argue about it here!”

                  So we would’ve been talking about it. and you put it in “Fan Game’s and Programs” this is neither.

                  it’s for a concept that I wanted some feed back for.

                  Also @ Ranger: what makes you think It’ll be locked so quickly?

                  Alright, I’ll try to review this further later, but I did skim through it at present.

                  My one suggestion, to help with readability in your rough drafts, is that when somebody says more than one line, you may just want to clump them together. As such:

                  [???] I am the one who governs Fantasy’s Collapse. But I am also Fantasy’s Collapse itself, you beings may call me the “Sovereign”.

                  [Rick] Okay Sovereign that answers my first question. Second, why are you telling us all this?

                  It gets a bit hard to read, at least in my opinion, when every sentence requires a new line. Good luck, though, Fox!

                  Beyond Fangamer in other terms would be refered to as something like “Video Game Discussion”. It was originally called “Beyond Earthbound”, hence the idea that it’s not Earthbound related (its a discussion about games that have already been produced, other then Mother). If you have an idea for a Game, it would go in the Fan Game and Programs Section because it’s a Fan Game Idea. It isn’t relevant to game already created, its your own idea. Look at the other topics here you can see that most of them are Idea’s or Projects already in Motion.

                  Where this really belongs is the Brainstorm central:

                  I think what Ranger is trying to get at is that, this section of the Forum has its own set of rules. Mainly that a topic requires substance before it can posted, otherwise it is locked.

                  As for your story, I think you’ve got a solid idea here. If you do ever decide to bring it into Florescence, I would be more then happy to lend a hand in production, I’m sure other members could say the same.

                  So for the longest I’ve been thinking of how to make a large Mother series crossover that plays differently than the Mother games. In other words it isn’t an RPG, but a fighting game. The story involves the heroes from each Mother game and the main villians. I was wondering how this would be accomplished but thanks to Meedee and Gekko I think I got it. Of corse, if this picks up I’ll be asking them whether or not it’s okay with them since the story somewhat, but not fully, revolves around events that does… and does not happen in Mother 2: Harmony.

                  For giggles, I’ve given this project the working title of Dissidia: EarthBound (Referencing the Square-Enix game Dissidia: Final Fantasy)

                  The story is basically that of a time paradox tale, and the heroes are pulled from their own time to a time thats between seconds, or the origin and end of time itself. It’s an odd, obscure realm that can play tricks on the mind and places can be created from a persons memories. (Like a false Onett is created from Ness’s memories) The game allows you to pick a character and experiance their story through the ordeal, as the character progresses he/she may cross paths with another character and they share a moment or battle you’ll experiance in both of their stories. Also, characters who have died in the game they originate from(Like Teddy in Mother 1) are alive in this game because they were either pulled from a time before they died or pulled from an alternate timeline where they lived on.(Alternate timelines play a big role in the story)

                  The villians consist of the main villian from each game, and some that aren’t the main villian, but played a significant role. These consist of Giegue, Giygas, Porky(Mother 2), Porky(Mother 3), etc.

                  Also, if it’s alright with Gekko and Meedee, I’d like the Harmony characters to be involved too. If not I’d completely understand. I just think that the One-Headed Cerberus would make an excellent edition to the villian roster.

                  So, would anybody like to see this fleshed out? I have ideas for gameplay but I don’t know the first thing about game design. I hope to get this project up and running!

                  So its almost like brawl in a way and Dissidia?

                  You mean gameplay wise or storywise? Storywise it may be similar to Dissidia, but having to do mostly with time, not space. Gameplay wise I hope for it to be unique.

                  Currently working on the story’s script. Trying to keep EarthBound humor up at necessary points is harder than I thought. I might post a small tidbit of a script idea later.

                  Merging with Brainstorm Central, idea type topics should go in there.
