Handbook, documentary, album, and zine
Fangamerhas come a long way from its beginnings atStarmen.net. What started as aMother/EarthBound-focused fandom now sells all sorts of videogame-related merchandise. With this current project, titledYou Are Now EarthBound(after an old fansite), the team is returning to its roots. Not only is it focusing on the game that catalyzed the company’s genesis, it is looking like one of the biggest projects Fangamer has taken on.
It is set to include a handbook similar tothe one produced forMother 3, adocumentaryon the fandom for the series, an album ofEarthBoundmusic arranged by theBad Dudes, and a zine composed ofEarthBound-inspired art and writing.
Getting all of the rewards digitally takes a pledge of $32, with physical releases starting at twice that much. Work is well underway on the project, but Fangamer is seeking $100,000 onKickstarterto help get it all finished. As of this publication, it is nearly halfway to that goal at about $45,000.
