Porky/Pokey Minch, to conclude my Earthbound model series (for now)! 🐽

Solid view, wireframe, some alternate lighting setups, plus a version with a bunch of Starmen standing around (menacingly).

✨The Camera Man takes a picture of a very important memory…✨

Please enjoy my very humble tribute to MOTHER 2/Earthbound, an RPG that impacted people inside & outside of this series, including me.

This game is extremely important to Nintendo history, and I’m very happy it exists!

Thank you MOTHER team for making such a beautiful game!

The work of Satoru Iwata is what made many developers' dreams into reality, whether he was a programmer or an executive producer. And his work continues in the dreams we all directly deliver into reality! Below are some great interviews you can remember him with.

Fun little subtle detail I never noticed before!

So, MOTHER 3 actually has a couple different voice blips for dialogue. There's 5 in total, and the thing I'm looking at distinguishes them as Young Boy, Young Girl, Man, Woman, and Non-human. Idk if those are what they're referred to internally, but presumably that's how they're more-or-less distributed throughout the game (I wouldn't read into the names too much, the Magi apparently use the Man blip for example, so they're not objective in any case).

Anyway, what's fun is how they use these with Porky!

So, for most of his dialogue, Porky uses the "Boy" blip. He uses this whenever he taunts you over the intercom in the Empire Porky Building, the fake Porky you meet before fighting all the Mecha-Porkies uses it, all the way up to "I'm the most clever, most charming, and most trouble-making boy ever..."

But in his next lines after the shot pans up to the mass of machinery in the roof ("I welcome you once again"), his dialogue suddenly shifts into the "Man" blip.

And finally, once he's fully revealed, the rest of his monologue is accompanied by the "Non-human" voice blip.

It's pretty easy to catch if you're looking out for it (especially when he starts speaking with the Non-human blip, that one's really distinctive), and I think it's a really neat detail!

(Oddly enough, he actually switches back to the Man blip after this, during his battle and the cutscene leading up to it.)

So yeah, that's a pretty cool way to build up to the big twist with him, I think it's really clever ^^
