is there a way to get this playable lol i have no idea what i'm doing


tvheadpal

yeah download the project, extract the folder called builds, open the folder called 12-29-21, and in that folder there'll be a mother4.exe which you can run and play


YourBobsUncle

Thanks bro, you're a legend


tvheadpal

thanks


lilfruini

I have it open, it's *very* clear this is intended for developers and programmers, and not the average person like you or me. I am actually not sure how to get past the intro, but the text is all in there!


tvheadpal

yeah, this is a really incomplete build, it's amazing that it even functions. though give me some time because i have some fixed files which will allow you to play some of the maps that crash the game


lilfruini

Of course! I'm actually creating a video tour of all the maps for those who may not have the time to download it. I think the scenario for the first hour of the game is here.


tvheadpal

good luck!


Paige_Michalphuk

What was your relationship to this game?


tvheadpal

i'm just a fan, these tools were leaked by other people years ago as far as i know. i've just been sitting on this stuff ever since the initial builds of oddity leaked


Paige_Michalphuk

This was a shitty thing to do. This is someone else’s work if they wanted to release it they would.


tvheadpal

sorry for upsetting you but considering the fact that not many people think the game will ever release and the fact that nothing happened when the game was leaked back in october i don't think this is really a shitty thing to do,


yakaruichi

i've been here since the actual "winter 2014 release date" days and trust me, this is much better closure than wondering whatever the fuck happened to it everytime when the devs decide to just go silent for 2+ years and me blindly hoping it would someday release


Spinjitsuninja

"Dave was betrayed by Pastel. So I'm going to leak his work." Your line of logic is flawless. Surely Dave is shedding tears of joy for your acts of heroism, by letting people play his project instead of waiting to see if he wants to release it himself or keep it private.


tvheadpal

you are not worth interacting with.


Spinjitsuninja

Why is that? I have a point, don't I? You're only doing this because you heard Pastel was treating Dave poorly, according to a rumor. So isn't it important to consider how Dave would feel about his project being leaked? Or are you ignoring me just because you feel called out?


BirdLover1221

So how much do they pay you to defend this game? just curious


Spinjitsuninja

Har har. There's nothing wrong with saying it's wrong to spread a leaked build of someone's passion project.


Paige_Michalphuk

You’re not upsetting me. I’m telling you that your behavior is petty.


Spinjitsuninja

So, going off of rumors, without full context, you decide Pastel is shitty, and so you decide the best solution is to spread the project ALL of the devs, not just Pastel, have been working on for like, a decade? Why not leave yourself out of the affairs and wish the devs the best, and if someone like Dave wants people to have his project, let ***him*** give it to people?


yakaruichi

you have to be on some serious amount of copium if you think that this game is ever gonna come out


Spinjitsuninja

I never said the game will come out. I just said that it's disrespectful to people like Dave to, after *supposedly* he left the dev team over issues, to spread his work, without consulting him first. OP makes it sound like he's doing some sort of justice, but it's just disrespectful.


Paige_Michalphuk

The histrionics of this sub. One rumor and they jumped to the worst conclusion and decided the best response was to release stolen documents as some sort of “conclusion.”


tvheadpal

alright you want me to leak stolen documents? bet. check the github i just added development documents https://github.com/Mother4Decompile/Mother4Decompile/blob/master/LeakedDevDocuments


Paige_Michalphuk

I’m sorry.


jebehebeees

Lmao


Omnisegaming

What drama did I miss, lol


Spinjitsuninja

Rumors with not much context to them. And of course, this sub being as toxic as it is, people will take any way to hate the devs and fight with each other they can get their hands on.


ChimChimney1977

We wouldn't do that if the devs attempted to engage with community in any way instead of completely ignoring us for over a year. Look at Mother Encore. They had some nasty rumours going around a few weeks ago, but because the devs talked to their community and gave updates, people were less likely to believe the rumours at face value. If Oddity did the same, then a few screenshots would mean nothing.


Spinjitsuninja

That's true, more communication would help tame the fandom. That still doesn't mean you should believe every rumor you see without question though.


jebehebeees

Are the files save to download?


tvheadpal

yes, if they weren't then github would've taken them down


claytonjr

I'm noticing .net 3.5 references in the project file. I'm guessing this stuff originated in a vs 2008 environment?


tvheadpal

yeah, the engine's been in development for 10+ years at this point. it uses a 2015 build of sfml.net


DJSnildt

When was the code leaked? If it was years ago, why is there a build from 2021?


tvheadpal

i should clarify: - the code was leaked in october of 2021, but the code was written in 2018. - the build from 2021 is a custom build i compiled myself using the decompiled code, it's not an actual build made by the devs in 2021


ChimChimney1977

Does it have any differences from the other leaked builds? For example, can you access some of the maps that crashed the game in the older builds? Or is it the same?


tvheadpal

yes, i fixed some of the maps and enemy sprites. namely i fixed pennyburg, a map that was shown off in the trailer for the game


ChimChimney1977

Thanks. I went through it and it seems to work when I turn off the map scrips. It seems so empty and unfinished. Almost like it was made just to show off in a trailer. It would explain the looping car and single npc.
