Super quick update

17 years ago by Mato

(NOTE: Don’t miss the update below this one)

Jeffman (and I assume Exophase?) worked through the night and got battle text variable width font working well 🙂


There are still difficult issues to work out with the battle text, mainly right now we can only have 44 characters per box (which isn’t enough) and I guess the level up text is crazy now. Very cool nonetheless!

    I wish I could help out somehow – the project sounds like something extremely fun to get into. However, I’m not an ASM or even a C/C++ programmer; I do web stuff. 🙁

    With that said, I know the site here is pretty much all set for what’s being done, but if you ever need an XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, or MySQL guy, feel free to get in contact with me. I’d be more than happy to do what I can.

  6. Reagle said 17 years ago:

    Fantastic! It looks great :] I’ve been watching the projects at Mother3.org and Starmen.net since they started, but this is getting really exciting now. SO much progress is being made. Oh man, it’s giving me shivers! Keep up the fantastic work, guys!

    EXCELLENT WORK GUYS KEEP THE BALL ROLLIN!

  8. Pimpshi said 17 years ago:

    Aside from the line break, it looks perfect! Keep up the great work, all–it’s payin’ off!

    Looking good guys! Ain’t progress grand? Hmm, one thing sort of stood out at me, besides the line break mentioned above. Just the wording in the other shot. Flint’s Attack! just seems like it’d sound better as Flint Attacks! Or some other variation. It just seems slightly awkward. Yes, yes, nitpicking, and I assume it’s just something that’ll get taken care of in the editing process, but just wanted to mention it anyway.

    Keep up the good work y’all!

    I can’t thank you guys enough you guys are really working hard to make this patch a reality, to spend the night to get battle text variable width font and giving every possible update to the fans,This has been the most interesting translation project ever keep up the amazing work.

    With this update, how much has been done so far?
    Work progress % is?

  12. Mato said 17 years ago:

    Dunno, it’s pretty much impossible to give detailed percentages. Still less than 50% done I’d personally say, but others might say differently. So who knows.

  13. Yokai said 17 years ago:

    So wait, are you guys going to do “Flint’s attack …” rather than doing “Flint Attacks”?

  14. Mato said 17 years ago:

    No, it will be “Flint attacks!”

    (sometimes I wonder if posting screens during the development phase is a good idea now :O)

  15. Jackalope said 17 years ago:

    Awesome! It looks like things are really looking up!

    Man, I wish I could help beyond giving my support and singing Pollyanna endlessly. As it stands, tho’, I still barely even know how to work PK Hack. :p Ah well.

  16. JeffMan said 17 years ago:

    We should put a disclaimer somewhere saying “NOTHING IN THE SCREENSHOTS IS FINAL EVER” or something. :\

  17. Mato said 17 years ago:

    Yeah I actually did that shortly before you suggested it 😛 Every so often I’ll update the FAQ page, hopefully people still look there.

  18. Silver Streak said 17 years ago:

    Tomato, your team has been churning out nothing but awesome over the past few weeks. It’s really awesome that we have you in the EarthBound community.

    Speaking of which, “Churning” inspires me to do something…

  19. 7ucky said 17 years ago:

    There should be a documentary about this (and, more generally, the tenacity of Mother/EB fans worldwide).

  20. Zohar said 17 years ago:

    The frequent updates are loved…or at least I like them!! Keep up the incredible work =D

  21. Antho said 17 years ago:

    kind of off the subject , but wasn’t there an Earth bound live action movie?

  22. Antho said 17 years ago:

    oh btw cant wait for the finished product! thanks !

  23. Yokai said 17 years ago:

    @Mato:

    It wasn’t that I thought these were FINAL or anything, but thats the way the EB0 translation wrote it so I was wondering if it was going to be like the traditional EB0 translation. =/

  24. Ranger said 17 years ago:

    More awesome VWFwork. I’ll bet Mr. Itoi would be proud if he knew about this.
    Or angry that you’re ripping his game apart 😛

  25. TJfreak said 17 years ago:

    keep it up you guys good luck!

  26. IheartSCOOPS said 17 years ago:

    this is my first time here and let me just say that you guys are among the most amazing people in the world. i can’t thank you enough!
