Willsaber is a fairly new member to the MFGG community who has not accomplished very much as of yet. He joined the Mainsite on May 16, 2014, and joined the Message Boards on June 3, 2014. He considers himself a novice artist, but a decent coder and musician. Currently, he is working on a collaborative fangame known as, "Super Mario Crusades", but helps Theonesuperx with his fangame whenever he needs a quick retreat from Super Mario Crusades. He makes fairly large additions to the MFGG Wiki every now and then, and is well known for often using the emoticon, ":/".

History

When Willsaber created an account on MFGG's mainsite, he was determined to be a contributing member of the community. Because of this, he began to develop a fangame almost immediately (it was a remake of a fangame known as, "Redemption", by Roo).

Once Willsaber first joined the Message Boards, he began searching for team projects to collaborate on, as he knew that ambitious projects were extremely difficult to complete on one's own. Just over a week after joining, he found a project titled, "The Mario Crusades" (later known as "Super Mario Crusades"), lead by Theonesuperx. When he found that nobody was willing to join in, he thought it was the perfect opportunity to participate in a project. So he started discussing the project with Theonesuperx, and found that it was a concept he liked. He asked to join the team, and was accepted almost immediately.

For quite awhile, things had gone smoothly. The game grew in team size, and Willsaber ended up being the lead coder. But on July 10th, 2014, Theonesuperx left the team to work on a new project. This left the team in temporary chaos, due to confusion, but Willsaber pulled everyone back together rather quickly, and continued to work on the game.

On October 7, 2014, Willsaber entered King Boo's Halloween Spooktacular. He ended up competing in four of the five categories (more than any other member had entered) and ended up winning the music section by default, earning his first competition badges. He later submitted his minigame entry to MFGG's mainsite which, after five weeks of being in moderation queue, was accepted. On November 11, 2014, Willsaber entered the Sprite Competition #4 2014, where the theme was, "Sports". He got fourth place, but badges were never handed out.

In December, 2014, he was asked by Theonesuperx to help him out with his remake of Brutal Mario. Willsaber accepted, but between devoting time to work on Super Mario Crusades and technical issues, Willsaber was not able to help beyond submitting level designs and occasionally creating partially flawed enemies. Also in December, Willsaber entered the Secret Santa 2014, where he created a short fangame for McKnackus I, based off of Super Mario Bros..
