MOTHER ENGINE DEVLOG
This is PKBT's devlog for my side project, the MOTHER3Like Engine.
This engine is based on the Mother 3 engine, recreated on the Game Maker Engine using GML.
The main purpose of this project is to recreate the Mother 3 engine from scratch, including every bit of detail from the original engine, plus improvements.
When the project is near completion, hopefully I will be able to begin utilizing this engine for a different project.
I will try to keep an updated archive of screenshots and logs here whenever progress is made.
