Paula Surprised sprite [FANGAME] Mother 5

The other side of the Mother 3 saga..

sprite M5_Annie

Well, here I go again! But this time, it’s different than most fantopics topics you see, which mainly talks about Mother 4, but do you want to see beyond that? Welcome to the world of Mother 5!


Banner made by me.


William (Will) [JAP NAME: ウィリアム [意志] is the eldest of three siblings, as being a 15 year old, with PSI. He resides with family in the peaceful forest of Tensurii located nearby the village of Kariko. He is the main protagonist of the story. Drawing by me. More information on characters coming soon!

Oh, M5_Annie, don’t forget to post some screenshots.

While you have your game running, press Alt and Print Screen, then paste into paint and save the file.

You may want to try Imageshack for your image hosting, since you’re getting 503’d with Geocities.

sprite M5_Annie

I made these screenshots on my computer..and thanks for the information for using Imageshack, I’ll do that right away. (I hope this topic doesn’t get locked. o_o; ) Plus, I’m a begginner at game programming..does anyone have a references for a begginner game programmer, such as myself, to make GameMaker work correctly for my Mother 5?


Will is the main character of the story. He is the older brother of Lou and he knows PSI, which became part of a rivalary between the two brothers later in the story when Lou is possessed by Chaos when he fell into the Mystic Spring.

Lou is the younger brother of Will that looks up to his older brother and tags along with him. He is very hyper, loves adventure and has a strong sense of truth.

Linda is the mother of the two brothers; she has divorced Keith later in the story.

Keith is the father of the brothers that left Linda and his sons; he still loves her though.

EDIT: Will is the only confirmed character. The character list is under revision!

Mmmh… Things are really hard if we’re talking about Game Maker. If you’re a beginner, maybe you should try RPG Maker. Oh, but it isn’t freeware… Anyway, things are really, really hard with Game Maker, so be sure you want to actually make it with Game Maker.

    I think you should just get a bunch of examples (of what you plan to include, such as a directional walking system) and find what the code does, and from successfully analyzing 2 examples, you should be able to make your own code or edit others’. At least, that’s the way I do it.

    Hey M5_Annie, if you need help, maybe you can get it here. But be sure you want to make it in Game Maker.

    And the screenshots look really good.

    Thank you very much. I’ve been working on this for awhile, so I know my stuff. teehee

    UPDATE! I’m in Chapter 6, 4 more chapters to go to write in my storyline. WHEE!!!

    There will be times of tragedy, happiness, strangeness, action and adventure for Will and his friends. It’s surely a grand adventure indeed!

    I really like how this one looks. I’m gonna add this one to the “Closely watched” list. Great concept, now keep going! This really could turn out to be the project that pulls me away from Chaisu’s Mother 4 (as far as fangames are concerned).

    I have considered purchasing a flintlock pistol and modifying it so that bottle rockets are used for ammo…

    sprite Jared Sol

    So basically, it’s a mother 3 clone?

    Then again, I’m one to talk. In one of the projects I’m helping write, the plot involves invading aliens and rather cliche macguffins.

    ...Yeah, this definitely looks like Mother 3... Imma stick with Cognitive Dissonance for the fangame I most want to see. (Also I want to see AsbestosBlatant's thing, but I guess that's dead.)

    sprite M5_Annie

    I know it looks like Mother 3, but I have some real twists and turns to the story. But the roles are switched around like crazy! BTW, chapter 8 is underway. But get this, it all revolves around Will’s life and adventures with his friends. And Mother 3 doesn’t have the Circle of Elements involved, nope. Only this story does….I mean there are some parts that are Mother 3ish, such as the seven magysties, instead there are the three guardians and all of them are girls, not crossdressed like those magysties were, and there’s no dog in Will’s family. I point out more if you really want me to.


    Curt & Cody (Twin sons of Russell & Maryann), Maryann (wife to Russell & mother of Cody and Curt), Russell (husband to Maryann & father of Cody and Curt), Dallas (The family’s dog), Aunts Suzanne & Clara (Will and Lou’s aunt), Winnie & Annie (Will and Lou’s cousins), Minoma (Kimorosa’s niece), Kimorosa (Hikari’s twin sister; the older one), Aelea, & Hikari (Kimorosa’s twin sister; the younger one), Sora (one of Will’s friends; a stubborn, short-tempered princess), and I have alot more…

      Not really. This is my game, it’s like Mother 3 , but it’s different. Don’t get it confused with my game please.

        I can give you a base storyline and you can work from there. I’ll throw everything but Will out the window and give you a nice new story with a few new characters different from MOTHER 1, 2, 3, and my 4.

        Okay. Thanks, TCA. It’s just my brain is like overflowing with so many thoughts, I can’t contretrate! Just PM te base storyline to me. Further news everyone, Mother 5 is going to go under revision on the storyline. I’ll be still updating as usual, so keep a look out. BTW, here’s a new character…C.J.!

        He just reminds me of T.K. from Digimon, wearing that hat. LOL.

        Just be sure that the plot you create is coherent. Make sure every character has several roles to play, and is important.

        The best way to do this is to write up your storyline, then send it to someone else to read, then discuss.

        I can create an elaborate plot out of whatever Animorph brainstorms. I’m not all that great at thinking up original plots, but I sure am great at expanding on them.

        Good suggestions. I strongly encourage those who give good advice, good advice is creative while bad advice is destructive.



        Sprite Artists
        -Must know how to sprite Mother3-styled sprites
        -Must know how to make enemy sprites (Suggestions are open)
        -Sprites must be done professional (Submit your ideas to me if you really want to be on the team.)
        Mappers (BG Artists)
        -Must be familiar with Mother3-styled backgrounds.
        -Must be professionial
        Composers/Remixers
        -Must be knowledgable with music (only if you want to be a composer)
        -Music submissions are to be professional


        President/Project Director: M5_Annie


        Writing Department: Jared Sol, Claus’ Twin and Reconstructed Dragon
        Music Department: Remixers: TidalEspeon and 3R2, Composers: (Help wanted!), Sounds: MasterZ
        Art Department: Mappers: Periwinkle Sprite Artists: M5_Annie,Periwinkle and TheCompleteAnimorph

        Only spriters, mappers and composers/remixers are allowed for hiring now. If you plan to be in the project, please PM me.

        Current stage: Alpha (Beginning stage)
        Process: 3% (1/4)

        Beta (2/4= 50) – Halfway done
        Sigma (3/4= 75
        ) – Almost done
        Omega (4/4= 100%)- Finished!

        Now I have a question. For NPC/PC characters, do you think that the game sprites will be better with M3 style or Pokemon D/P style?

          Now I have a question. For NPC/PC characters, do you think that the game sprites will be better with M3 style or Pokemon D/P style?

          Mother3 style would be better.

          M3 style, its horrible for fan games if the art style clashes.

          EDIT: I usually dont stay on projects to much and will most likely forget about this in a couple of weeks, is it possible for you to send me the storyline once you have that solid =D?

          you don't actually know what "alpha testing" and "beta testing" mean, do you?

          sprite TidalEspeon

            M5_Annie, what do you mean by knowledgeable with music? i can remix pretty well, but I don’t know the very advanced stuff about music, unless playing the Euphonium once counts. I have so much free time on the weekends, that most of what I do is remix whenever the battle system frustrates me.
            Hmm, I’ll try to progress further with the battle system. And you can use it if you want when it’s done; it will be open source, but the first release will be one-protagonist, I plan to make updates for it.

            Okay, megamansf2zn, just send me a remix of a Mother 3 song and I’ll see about it. BTW, Jatopian, it’s not they are ‘testing stages’, they are just progress stages if you know what I mean. I can tell everyone is agreeing to the Mother 3 sprite styles. Boy, you guys like it because it makes sense and it fits great, I guess everyone likes 2-d instead of 3-d.

            She’s using Earthbound / Mother PSI attack power levels, not actual development cycles. Though it should be Theta, not Sigma. Assuming it’s offensive PSI, that is…

            You might want to call Lucas something else. It makes the plot too similar to Mohter 3… again.

            Lucas and Claus were naming references to a book. I’ll try and think of a name that goes with Will that is a reference to something cool.

            To be honest, this doesn’t look very good. It looks a lot like Mother 3’s plot with minor diffrences and you added several characters too many, some which seem like M3 characters with name changes.

            Out of curiousity, what program are you using to make this?
