EARTHBOUND (The Totally Awesome Sequel)

Malson · September 10, 2006, 03:36:22 PM

I know, but Qewl is a good kid at heart, and I know he wasn't trying to be an asshole, just trying to ease the tidal wave of crappy fangames (though this isn't one of them).

Arrow · September 10, 2006, 03:37:13 PM

Well all right, that's a valid point. Sorry qewlkid.

..........Whoa when did u get on Arrow

*and im agreeing with arrow too*

Occorru · September 11, 2006, 03:11:14 AM

Sounds great but one thing confuses me........Doesnt big evil bosses intent on destroying the world differ from the origonal Earthbound idea?

Arrow · September 11, 2006, 03:27:46 AM

I suppose so, but that's what Giygas was, am I right?

Occorru · September 11, 2006, 10:49:04 AM

Ive never played Earthbound but I always thought of it in the Animal Crossing style.

Arrow · September 11, 2006, 12:09:20 PM

You should play it, really. Get the rom/an emulator here:

dohgames.com

But watchout for pop ups, and turn you speakers off, there's a loud pop-under in there.

And an Animal Crossing style thing could be interesting...

I have thought about making an Animal Crossing game. It'd be easier than you'd think.

As for Earth Bound being in the Animal Crossing "style," I'm not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean because of the colorful, childlike graphics? That is an art style affectionately called "naive," called so because it is purposely childish. I've always really like it. I'd liken it to jumping into a big box of Crayola crayons.

Arrow · September 11, 2006, 11:07:06 PM

That's a great simile. And yeah, it would be pretty easy! Although I would probably use Game Maker for something like that...

Found this on Fu's forums...

You encountered the Panda being mischevious!

Occorru · September 12, 2006, 01:51:53 AM

I meant the everyday chores aspect of Animal Crossing.

Arrow · September 12, 2006, 01:54:28 AM

You should most certainly play the rom. Did you get it yet?

Occorru · September 12, 2006, 01:55:58 AM

Ill try it later when my dad isnt aware that im downloading something for a minute.................

Arrow · September 12, 2006, 01:59:30 AM

All right, you'll thank yourself when you do.

Malson · September 12, 2006, 02:04:11 AM

Gah. MY parents used to do that too. Get all offended and afraid whenever I tried to download anything. "DONT DO THAT YOULL GET A VIRUS AND RUIN OUR COMPUTER"

Occorru · September 12, 2006, 02:08:55 AM

No he just doesnt want me to take up all the hardrive space on the family computer luckily he let me download my RPG 2003 off of Crankeye.

Arrow · September 12, 2006, 02:14:43 AM

My mother has come to trust me with ours, since I know more aboout it anymore than she does. Plus, it helps if you talk WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaay over there heads when you try to convince them to let you do something.

Occorru · September 12, 2006, 02:16:52 AM

It's the complete opposite for me. My grandpa won't let me touch his computer unless I give him comprehensible instructions on what I plan to do there.

Me: Can I use your computer?
Grandpa: What for?
Me: I wanted to download an RPG so that I can review it and give comments on Crankeye.
Grandpa: You're downloading WEAPONS?! On MY computer?!
Me: No no no, you see, an RPG is a...
Grandpa: You're never touching my computer again!

RocketPropelledGernades lol was ur grandpa in the war

Arrow · September 13, 2006, 12:15:31 AM

Hmmm...Well, I suppose that it depends on the age group your 'mouse' falls into. Good point Zyper.
