Hey, do you guys remember of this fangame called "Mother 4"? If you do remember, then I just looked some info about it to see how the games was going.
And I can surely say that the, no matter how good the game is, the project will be remembered more as a joke than anything else.
Lack of update, constant delay, and now they are rebranding the game because they fear that Nintendo will C&D the game. which mean that they to remove or change everything that suggest that it's a sequel to Mother. (So no Mr.Saturn for exemple and you can expect the title to be change to "Father" or some **** like that)
This rebranding causing even more delay. The fanbase is now divised between three camps:
1)Those who are cool with it and are still waiting patiently for the game to come out.
2)Those who are done with the dev and say that the project is a big failure since fan wanted the game to be a sequel to Mother 3 and not "a game that kinda look like Mother but not too much", which created quite the backslash.
And finally, the best of the bunch:
3)Those who now ****post like nobody and are just picking fun at every error the dev did and matter more about the ****post they make than the actual game.
Seriously, check the Mother 4 Reddit
here, if you love ****posting, you are going to like this place.
Now, personally, I feel like sad for the dev, but at the same time, they should have see it coming before it was too late. Now, the project losed alot of the hype it had and like I said before, even when it will come out for free, not alot of person are going to play it without think of the infamous developpement behind it. Which remind me how the Project M Team wasn't taking seriously the problem of being a fangame until it was too late. Which forced them to stop the developpement of the mod and every update it could have gotten . (Tough, I won't compare anything else since those games had different problem. Plus, Project M is atleast a game that was released in a good enough state that the competitive fanbase still play to this day. Still, RIP Knuckles & Knuckles)
So, after all of this rambling that I am sure only three person in this thread will read until the end and only one will give a ****. What do you think about the state of "Mother 4-But-Not-Really-Mother 4"?
