Announcing a brand new hack coming possibly someday…

Porky’s Grand Day out!

This is a “point of view” sequel of Earthbound.

EDIT: THIS HAS BEEN CHANGED TO JUST COVER POKEY’S ADVENTURES DURING EARTHBOUND, AND WILL NOT COVER MOTHER 3.

Allies:

1. Pokey. A portly and immature boy from Onett. Pokey does not have many friends, and most of the townsfolk make fun of him for his uncanny resemblance to a pig wearing overalls, calling him Porky. His best friend Ness recently set out on a journey, and he’s willing to do anything, and I do mean anything, to get him back. He’s average in most stats, and has high defense due to his bulk. He can also use a lot of assist and healing psi to manipulate people and help boost his allies, but isn’t that good at directly damaging enemies like Picky or Mr. Carpainter.

2. Picky. Pokey’s adventurous and energetic brother. Not nearly as unstable as Pokey, but lacks enough backbone to stand up with him, so he’ll be joining you for most of the events of Earthbound. He’s very fast and hits hard, but he doesn’t have any psychic powers and has lower defense due to not being as fat as his big brother.

3. Mr. Carpainter. A man who believes the key to happiness is painting everything the color blue, and starts a cult based around it. He can some offensive psi, and a bit of healing psi.

4. Master Belch. A smelly alien who resembles a large pile of vomit. He seems like a strange ally and standing near him makes you want to throw up, but you have the same employee and the same goal, so for a while it looks like you’ll have to work together. He can inflict lots of status effects with his very stinky breath.

5. Mr. Monotoli. An old,old man. With a little help from his friend Pokey, he could become a very important person.

This game will show Pokey’s adventures as he rises to power.

Currently, I have it programmed up to the scene where Pokey runs home and leaves Picky on the hill, in the next part of the hack you’ll have to get help from Ness to rescue him.

Things that I would appreciate people telling me:

1. Any bugs anybody finds

2. If anyone finds another hack that basically covers the same plot

3. Any suggestions anyone has for the story, direction, individual lines, boss fights, etc, although I do have most of the plot before the end of Earthbound planned out, I’m not going to pretend that nobody else will have a better idea.

4. If any lines seem out of character, I am not at all confident in my ability to write for these characters, so if something seems out of place it’s probably a problem with my writing.

5. Random criticism

6. Miscellaneous praise

7. Suggestions for what to do with the fifth character, cause I cannot think of anyone good to use.
