Well.. There have been multiple Mother 4 fan games, most, if not all the big ones have not been released yet, one notable one was called Mother 4, but they renamed that one to "Oddity" to avoid legal concerns. That might be the one you're talking about, no, sadly it hasn't been released.. :(

I really hope people dont hound you guys for updates and what not. Same shit happened with Oddity, sure it sucks ppl had to keep getting their hopes up just to be let down, but it's a fan game made in devs free time that they aren't getting paid for, they dont owe anyone shit yet ppl still get so entitled. It's honestly kind of disgusting how entitled people can get to something they didn't even work on or put money in to. This project looks really good so i hope it can come to fruition, the aesthetic is spot on; great sprite work and designs, feels like the natural progress of the series even if it's unofficial.

[@ABentPaperclip]

the difference between this and Oddity is that Oddity was obviously *inspired* by Mother but went out of their way to avoid the wrath of Nintendo. This one is just begging for a takedown notice

*THEORY:* Mother 4 takes places in a new universe that was created when Lucas pulled the final needle. Everyone in Mother 3 when the needle was pulled now take slightly different appearances and names and lost their memory from the past universe. Aaron is indeed Lucas. Aaron/Lucas goes on an adventure to "uncover ancient history" a.k.a. the events of Mother 3 and bring back everyones memories. The character Jared (shown on one of the Mother 4 website screenshots) is actually Claus. When the needle was pulled it brought back the dead people including Claus and Hinawa into the new universe. Take this theory made in literally 5 minute with a grain of salt though lol, I don't even actually fully believe it just wild speculation from me. In reality, Aaron just looks alot like Lucas because Ness looks a lot like Ninten and theres nothing more than that.

[@itsericsfault]

Oddity devs kinda screwed us over. Thanks for making this

[@ians_parks]

How...?

[@itsericsfault]

@@ians_parks I’m someone who was looking forward a Mother 4 for a long time. That’s originally what Oddity was. Due to Nintendo taking down a bunch of fan games, similar to LBP Restitched, the Mother 4 fan project was converted into something original. This meant it was no longer a fan game. I respect and understand the decision of the devs on Oddity but it still upset me regardless

[@ians_parks]

@@itsericsfault I'm aware of what Oddity was before, but it was their game, and their decision to rebrand. It was a fan project with no budget behind it that they were free to do with as they pleased, whether it released or not. I could understand feeling somewhat screwed over if the devs tried to monetize the project in any way after initially advertizing it as free for so long but as far as I can tell the plan was still to release it for free even after rebranding. They didnt use any sort of crowdfunding either. And even then that would've just been their interpretation of a fanmade Mother 4. I don't feel its right personally to place blame on other fans for not giving the community their work when it was always going to something unofficial and projects such as these always come and go. As an example Another Metroid 2 Remake, one of the best Metroid fangames out there, has a name that literally pokes fun at the amount of times people have tried to remake Metroid 2. You kind of just have to expect things like this can happen with fan projects.

[@itsericsfault]

Inbetwixt this Mother 4 project & ODDITY project, these two development cycles is gonna be one cool game of Gin Rummy.

[@bluebirdsigma]

I only ask for one thing: when it comes to weird stuff and the endgame, please, GO ALL OUT. No half measures, no toning it down during development, no "original plan was much weirder and disturbing". Shock us! As for some mild criticism, if it isn't gonna have any connection to the trilogy, why call it M4? The Oddity guys made us think they were going to reveal some connection in the game spoilers before the rebrand, that's why it disappointed so much (even though the latest statements seem to imply they never intended to do so either) I'd imagine vague hints that we are in a post-reset world and something about a fabled dragon, but eh, it's your call.

the “og” mother 4 was rebranded because the team felt held back creatively having to stay on brand, not because of a nintendo dmca. it was their own choice to rebrand. the rights for the series primarily fall under hobonichi, the company it’s creator works for. unless they decide to have say in fan projects, there is no fear of this project ever facing legal troubles. shigesato itoi encourages fan creations and hobonichi has even collaborated with fan artist to make the pollyanna art book which celebrated the series anniversary.

1. OG Mother 4 rebranded because of lack of creative freedom AND concerns over DMCA takedowns. This was stated in the rebrand announcement. 2. Nintendo doesnt need the permission of other co-owners to sue for infrigement, they don't even have to inform Hobonichi or Itoi that they are doing so. It is their right as a co-owner. 3. Itoi said it'd be impossible for him to make Mother 4 and he welcomes someone else do it. That "someone else" would be a new director. Acting as if what he said implies he's giving fans free rein to do whatever they want with his IP is taking what he said massively out of context. There is a big difference between collabing with artists to create an officially licensed piece of media and allowing an unlicensed piece of media infringing on their copyright to exist. Not saying it is likely that Nintendo or Itoi will come after them though, in all honestly I'm sure the project will be fine and I still wish the devs the best because what they've created looks stellar.

how many mother 4 projects need to be rebranded to avoid being brought to court by nintendo

[@joaonitro5149]

@@user-hy5hs2wk2i did you even read their comment? Nintendo legally can't sue them, because the characters belong to Shigesato Itoi, not Nintendo. That and Nintendo doesn't care about the Mother series.

@@joaonitro5149 "That and Nintendo doesn't care about the Mother series." That's the saddest part.

[@user-hy5hs2wk2i]

@@joaonitro5149 You realize Nintendo still owns Mother series, right? do you really think they care about the original creator?

I know this is unofficial but I’m betting this game comes out before Metroid Prime 4 😂

This looks really gorgeous, even hitting that nostalgic point with the music and style that represents Mother/EB. I've been waiting for Oddity release, ever since the first few instances of 2014 when it was shown, but it's been nothing since, besides a small update. I'm hoping that this game can come out, fully flourishing into it's own thing, there may be other games out there that help feel the void, but it's been do long since we've gotten anything EB or Mother related. I can't wait to see how the project goes, and including some updates later down the line, it looks fantastic so far.
