This is EXACTLY what I mean when I say "this feels like the Maple I grew up with" LOL. The kind, whimsical and utterly hilarious interactions + situations that you just CAN'T make up LOL. I'm so happy that there is still kindness in this community of OGs & to see it come forth again in this test!🙌
The Legendary KPQers that let the ever incredibly rare Slime Shoes disappear are memorialized in this historical picture here today LOL
【Maplestory Classic World Beta Test Day 8】
Super funny story while KPQing: We got1️⃣rare drop after King Slime. But then ALL of us were like "nah it's ok, you have it!😸" to the point that the item eventually DESPAWNED!!!😂💥
It was very wholesome & we all laughed about it LOL. I'll never forget them!🥹✊
notice the level discrepancy between chapter 7 and chapter 8 endgame LOL wheeze. wow I'm surprised to have beaten the game at lv70 though given YOU KNOW WHO being relentless during the final battle sequence 😿 child-reyn was a true gamer LOL
yes, that is Devil Children: Red Book down there! sadly the battery has dried out so I don't think it can save my progress? I remember always having to start over every time I turned on the game LOOL RIP...
It's definitely a time capsule seeing those previous MOTHER3 saves still in tact🙏
Also wanted to share other JP games I have on hand at this time, which of course would be the SMT4 duology pookies😂 As well as a surprise Devil Children: Red Book!! Haven't ever talked abt it but I like the art a lot!
shout outs to those who recognize the homie LOID MOTHER1 there too LOL. I remember finding this fig at my local BOOK OFF and had to buy him immediately 🙏 Sadly he was alone at the time, but I hope to find a Ninten to keep him company LOL I love the trashcan bottle rocket pookie😭🙏 Still though, being able to remember Itoi's writing even after all this time is a testament to how much LOVE and care he put into his work! And the fact that he dedicated so much of this series to his daughter while he was going through his own hardships as a parent is heartwarming too.
Happy 20th anniversary MOTHER3!🥳🎉🎈 This whimsical emotional roller coaster of a game (+ the MOTHER series overall) is what got me invested in learning & playing JP games as a kid. From the memorable writing to the jammy OST, this game made with a lot of love still remains a classic.
Thank you Itoi!🙏
TO be tbh, I am sad that us beta testers will not be able to transfer over our progress to the eventual final build of the game... Been seeing some excellent usernames so far like "Kurisu" (from Steins;Gate), "PlayEtrianOdyssey", "Bromantic", and "JeffMesos". (the last one destroyed me LOL wheeze)
【Maplestory Classic World Beta Test Day 6】
Thoughts so far:
-Lots of crashes. Either from changing channels, checking my Party tab, or sometimes no reason😅
-It's fun party training with ppl! I missed that social aspect the OG Maple had🙏
-This new economy is brutal. LEMONS are the new meta for now 😭🍋
Hey all, it's been a while. Thanks to everyone for sticking around despite my absence.🤙
I've been remembering what it's like to draw for myself as a *hobby* without the pressures of my creative job, corpo investors that only care about financial gain, and what other strangers (in general) think.✌
LOL aw please!!🤧 The only beautiful thing here is your generous support and kindness 🙏
perfect screenshot timing LOL it wasn't until I looked back at this and saw the :D From the blue mushie
I've been lucky enough to get access to the Maplestory Classic World Closed Beta due to attending the PC Café Test event in February! It's been fun playing 2 extra days before other ppl join🥳
Already experienced many crashes but I'm having a good time grinding to 2nd job (at lv22 RN!) and PQing LOL🤙
MS Paint Waruo chibi warmup sketch. Been thinking about the Chaos Pookie™ from SMT1 a lot lately! #shinmegamitensei #smt #megaten
This is a print everyone in ADASHU nation should have, you nailed their dynamic with the composition & their poses!!☝️😤Super love the addition of the lighter & the implications too😏 And your soft coloring + dramatic lighting only makes this piece more elegant! Great job homie!!🫶
→Otherwise, you'll continue on that inconsistent roller coaster of burnout. Until you ask yourself those deep questions, find what factors lead to that mindset, accept yourself as you are at this time and acknowledge that growth + change are possible, only then will you begin to feel free.👍(3/3)
→Art is deeply tied to our mental state. If there's something troubling you(subconscious or not)it will impede your motivation + progress. It's necessary to identify and confront limiting beliefs, unprocessed emotions and/or other external issues before inviting creativity into your mind again.(2/?)
Definitely a real feeling, especially with the current volatile social media landscape. I've had to stop myself from deleting my online presence many times for similar reasons. Though, I think it's worth considering doing some deep introspection and asking yourself why you feel that way. →→→ (1/?)
Still have the merch and regularly use the tote + keychains even today! The shirt having all the mainline SMT titles in the back was a great touch 👍 (and it's the biggest reason why I'm hesitant to wear it much, it's too nice to get dirty LOL)
Yoooo just heard about the Raidou x SMT live concert announcement. Congratulations!🥳🎉
In 2023 I was lucky enough to go to the SMT 30th concert here in LA (wow time really flies😭) so I hope they consider bringing another Megaten concert to the US again!!🙏
I had the incredible luck to be able to attend the Maplestory Classic World PC Cafe test event held recently!🥳🎉
It was super exciting being able to replay the old school Maplestory experience I fondly remember & talk to other OG players IRL too!😸
Thank you for hosting! Maplestory Nation RISE!!✊🍁
You know the age-old saying, "the more you joke about something, the more it'll happen"... Would be wild as hell if that eventual SMT4 remaster for the Switch gets announced soon in the Direct later today (or this year) ✌🤪
Last RT: I doodled a little something on KakuTokimeki! It gives that old school "Tegaki" drawing website vibes from back in the day 🤙 kaku.tokimeki.tech/post/did:plc...
Yes the GOAT himself!!🔥🔥🔥 I'm really happy you finished this, te quedó súper lindo🥹🫂 You put a lot of love and care into this pic with the vibrant colors and shading, it adds a lot of volume to him! The BG ties it together making it look like official key art too🙌 You did an excellent job shonini!🙏💕
I'd say the "others not reaching out to creatives" is the most egregious of all. Most in this space tend to watch from the sidelines and wait for others to do things instead. Spaces that are more creator-friendly that encourage engagement & community feedback are why those fandoms are still thriving
I think you proved my point tbh! I also mentioned "smaller/newer creators getting burned out or leaving due to lack of support"...From the little I've lurked around, this is an issue I've seen thruout this space where a select bunch of ppl get traction along w/ others not reaching out to them
Precisely. I've seen ppl say the same things abt this fandom, and I get the impression that ppl quickly lose interest due to this fandom being niche + newer & smaller creatives quietly leaving due to burnout & lack of support, and more. It takes a lot of time & energy to gather creative ppl together
Oh yeah def, analytical discussions keep these games alive! It makes me sad that there aren't any dedicated community spaces for this series since there's a lot to say about it + I've always wanted to join a fandom server to connect w/ others. So I rly do appreciate your help, Frill! Thank you SM!🤗
edited this a bit further on SAI since I didn't get to finish it properly 🤙

Did you know Morty from Pokemon Masters and Jonathan SMTIV share the same JP voice actor?😏 I had to draw Jona in Morty's special Pasio Academy uniform to see what he'd look like in 和風 clothing!🤭 #smtiv #megaten #shinmegamitensei
Show us your moves, disco boy🕺 #smt #megaten
Drawn in an 絵チャ/Megaten Magma room (with no pen pressure LOL). Thanks for joining me!🤙
Magma doodle. First time sketching the laurel boy Gimmel SMT2 properly🕊
This was supposed to be a super quick face zoom-in/顔アップ practice but it evolved into something else🤣
