Just be careful. ID are not keen on sharing their IPs freely (phun intended.)
They have shut down promising fan creations in the past you know...

yeaaa.. I certainly wasn't expecting to hit Kotaku, especially at this early stage. I am a little concerned that I will be shut down - Im currently working on contacting the right people to make sure that doesnt happen. Good thing about working where I work, is that as a collective we have some good contacts.
I'm still working on the main menu at the moment, its taking time because im taking it slow.. AKA procrastinating.
Things are looking up though, ive brought a friend onboard to help me with cinematics - hes a fanstastic animator, as well as a perpective composer in the works. Fun times.

I did not Squee when the Keen movie was announced. I did not squee when DITD was released (Too busy) I did not even squee when I learned of Fruits Basket: The Abridged Series.
But I'm squeeing now.
EDIT: Wait, you're in New Zealand? Where are you based at? I could pop by!

What you really need, not what you think you ought to want.
That's why you should keep works like this completely secret until you release the final product under 'fair use'.Laz wrote:Dont Squee too much bud, there is still a high likelyhood that I will be shutdown by id, or be forced to not release (unathorised use of IP)
Yup, I live in NZ. I live and work in the heart of Auckland CBD.
That's what i do.

It's that he's building upon the franchise ID created.
I have no problem with that myself, absolutely not, but i know ID shut down fan more extensive fan projects in the past.
One guy was working on a short movie based on the classic Doom franchise, he called the project 'Phobos Assault'. The project creator made alot of exposure on the net at the time. ID was not happy with the project using their franchise and forced him to abandon the project from what i read.
Perhaps Doom is a more sensitive IP than CK, but what i want to say is to be very careful and stuff like this in mind.
