Happy Mother 3 18th anniversary everyone! We all knew it was coming up, but are you also surprised that it’s been 18 years since the game was released in Japan on April 20th, 2006? After all these years, Starmen.net is proud to say there’s still a small place on the internet where people celebrate how this game inspired us, changed lives, and left a huge impact on gaming culture.
Come join us in celebrating the game, the community, and everything that followed in its wake with two great events.
Our first event is a brand new release from Fangamer’s own Jack Murphy, a recreation of the 3D New Pork City map! The map was first created for the Ultimate Chimera Hunt gamemode in Garry’s Mod back a whole 14 years ago in 2010, and is now ported to VRChat for you to explore!
You can also check out the release trailer!
If you feel like exploring this world, or even just experiencing a taste of what it was like to be a MOTHER fan with gmod in 2010, join this world at this link if you already have VRChat downloaded from Steam (it’s free!). If the above link doesn’t work, you can also search for Jack’s profile by searching for Jack-O from inside VRChat’s interface, and find the New Pork City map through his uploaded Worlds.
And that's not all! We have something special planned if you can join us on Sunday, April 21st, 2024 at 9:00 p.m. ET (6:00 p.m. PT) for a 15-minute Q&A session with Jack himself! Come ask your burning questions about his experience with modelling 3D worlds over the past 10+ years!
As an added bonus, if you join this world at any point this weekend, take a screenshot of the secret credits room to earn yourself a special reward on the forums! Post your screenshot of the credits room as a reply in the comments below to earn yourself a shiny new prize.
Our second event is a wonderful art collab hosted by our beloved overlord, Master P! We've been given a memo that reads as follows:
"Our bountiful leader and super cool dude Master P. has ordered the forces to come up with designs for the Fascinating Chimera Project. It is to my understanding that you have all been already briefed on what a chimera is, but for the stragglers amongst the troops, I’ll give you a quick reminder! A chimera is a boring, lame animal, but made cool! Your commanders and colonels have given each of you a document handwritten personally by King P. himself. You should consider that an honour!"
You have until May 19, 2024 to add your chimera to our glorious ranks, so get cracking and create something worthy of Master P's greatness!!
Whether it's exploring a familiar world made new or creating something completely original, Mother 3's anniversary promises to be as heartfelt as the game itself. Come participate in one or both events. We hope to see you there!
Hey everyone!
Good day and hello to my fellow Starmen! We are half way through the week and it may tough, but perhaps a surprise fanart update will bring you a semblance of joy. Take your loved ones, snuggle them close, and sit back, relax, and enjoy today's selection
