EarthBound Remake (Alpha 2.0)
MultiVolt Games
(Currently in development)
I am currently working on a remake of EarthBound (in the style of MOTHER 3/fan-made MOTHER 4). I have thought about creating this remake for years now and glad I'm finally acting on it.
I first played EarthBound almost 12 years ago and was completely floored; it was the type of game that I had never experienced before. Even though it's an RPG, the fact that it was able to offer so much to the player in terms of a world to explore and characters with which to interact for a SNES game in the mid-90's was astounding. It's one of my favorite games, but obviously it still has some issues that make it a bit more klunky gameplay-wise (in my opinion) compared to MOTHER 3 which fixes virtually every issue. I thought it would be interesting to create a game with the same story, charm and humor as EarthBound but plays a little more smoothly.
Being new to GameMaker and programming altogether, this is obviously my first game. I need help with some aspects of my game to get it off the ground -- right now, this is just to show you what I have put together (with the help of the GameMaker Community and special thanks to Victorstk).
Some features:
Right now I am looking for more help and general feedback.

Some features:
- Reworked sprites and maps in the style of fan-made MOTHER 4 but all keeping the original layout of EarthBound
- Ability to run like in MOTHER 3
- Added harder difficulty mode
- Additional optional bosses, side-quests and items
- New game/load game/sound player (plus additional options) from main menu as in MOTHER 3
- Consolidated menus as in fan-made MOTHER 4 (ex. taking out as many extra steps as possible, adding a key items menu, eliminating obtaining one item at a time, etc)
- Drastically reduced loading times
- Battle system in progress
- Implementing inventory system
- Caterpillar party follow system
- Various animations/cutscenes
- Music carrying over from room to room
- Etc...
Right now I am looking for more help and general feedback.
