STARMEN.NET - EarthBound / Mother 3 Goodness.

Finally! Some music for your ears!

Starmen.Net's Fan Music is still fighting!!

We have finally a good amount of submissions from peeps like you! It's definitely bring me quite some joy! Perhaps I will get more? :3 Let's run down on some of the submissions I have for you today!
Mairujyat's MOTHER - The Beginning is definitely something to start with. After all it is the first game! Why not!? But Mairujyat's take on the intro song is definitely breathtaking. It may be slow at the start but give it time. It definitely turns into something amazing. I literally felt I could be in a church listening to this. Amazing job!
Oh my BOING! Somewareman is at it again with another beautiful piece. This take on Theme of Winters is really nice to listen to. It almost has a 'holiday' feel to it in my opinion. Not to mention the beats that almost sound primitive (perhaps a toss to the cavemans you see?) Fantastic work Somewareman!
Finally, we have Swiggles1987's Earthbound Rock/Guitar Medley. From Twoson to Fourside, it definitely tugs at the strings of your heart! At first it can be relaxing and slow but then it can be loud and fierce! Such an amazing job Swiggles1987
And that is all the Fan Music Submissions I have for now. There are no more and I really encourage you guys to create submissions for us! Don't forget to read the guidelines and submit your fan music today! With that, Edo is out!

I spent around 11 or so hours throwing this together, based on a late-night near-sleep listening session of the entire BGM soundtrack for Mother 1.

I love the Winters Theme, so I tried my hand at a re-orchestration. I hope I did justice to the original.

An original Dark/Upbeat/Odd composition using Mother 3 Instruments and SFX Samples. It took some work but I'm pretty proud of it, I think I managed to make the song really progressive and interesting. I'm still really interested to hear some opinions on this!

it's ok. i'm using it now since i needed a new desktop!

That's right, I took over because fan art hasn't been updated since August, I guess?! Well, that's okay, because I'm here with a request. Nay, a PLEA.

2013 is the year of EarthBound. It was released on the Wii U Virtual Console in Japan this past spring, it's available on the Wii U Virtual Console right now in the USA and Europe, and Fangamer JUST WRAPPED UP the amazing EarthBound Bash, a 3-day long event that raised over $23,000 for two charities. EarthBound fans are truly amazing and I feel like continuing the celebration!

Here's where you come in: draw EarthBound fan art! ONLY EarthBound! The other two MOTHER games are great, but let's try to close out the Year of EarthBound with some amaaaaazing fan art to show off here at Starmen.Net - the oldest EarthBound fan site that's still around.

We have some guidelines: please read the fan art guidelines before submitting! If you ignore the guidelines and I receive anything that breaks our very simple rules, they will be deleted. This website is a CODING MESS, so these guidelines must be followed or else your artwork won't display properly.

Got all that? Okay, go here to submit your EarthBound fan art!

EarthBound Baaaash: Itoi-Autographed EarthBound Auction For James!

Some more very exciting news for the upcoming EarthBound Baaaash!! On December 1st after the Fangamer crew beats Giygas, they will be auctioning off a copy of EarthBound autographed by Shigesato Itoi himself!!! The proceeds will go to benefit the original owner of the cartridge, James Hensiek, who was recently diagnosed with cancer. Fangamer worked with Ben Bizzle, a friend of James and current owner of the cart, to get it into Mr .Itoi’s hands for him to sign it. Here is an interesting short documentary clip: You can read the full original forum post Ben made here, and you can click here to see the full story from the official Earthbound Baaaash website! This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, folks, and you definitely don't want to miss out on this!

Just remember to keep an eye on the Earthbound Baaaash website, and don't miss out on the event itself from November 29th to December 1st!!!

EarthBound Baaaash: Chewy, Tomato, and Fan Art!

Here are some recent EarthBound Baaaash!! updates~

Chewy's gonna be at the EarthBound Baaaash in person! Don't know who Chewy is? She helped fan translate MOTHER 3 and has been steadily translating MOTHER-related articles for years. Oh, and she worked with Shigesato Itoi to translate and help promote his Hobonichi Planners. Ya know, Itoi, the creator of EarthBound. No big deal~~

Along with doing Q&A with chat viewers, she'll be reading excerpts from the MOTHER 2 novel that she fan-translated a few years back. Speaking from personal experience, having been lucky enough to have heard the off-the-rails stuff happens during and after the final battle in the novel, this is definitely something you do not wanna miss.

Some of you already figured this out from the start - Tomato's gonna be there as well! Your friendly neighborhood cofounder of Starmen.Net, webmaster of EarthBound Central, main translator and programmer of the MOTHER 3 fan translation, and expert localization analyzer will be playing the game, taking chat viewer Q&A, and possibly participating in some of the wacky skits we have planned........

With all Fangamer employees also being members of Starmen.Net, it wouldn't be an EarthBound Baaaash without some delicious fan art! Draw something new to show your love for EarthBound, then email it to events@fangamer.com, or snail mail it to:

EarthBound Baaaash!!
c/o Fangamer
4500 E Speedway Blvd
Suite 33
Tucson, AZ 85712

You can also send letters, postcards, and weird things like fly honey or rubber spiders. Surprise us! We'll open up all mail during the broadcast and show it off!
