https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/socksthecat/socks-the-cat-the-video-game-based-on-the-clintons Long ago a fan named Tom bought the proto of Socks the cat rocks the hill.Instead of just dumping the game,he acquired the rights starting a crowdfunding on kickstarter,then teamed up with Second Dimension and in July,they are shipping the game. I was wondering,what if one of us asked the price to acquire the rights,then,we complete the translations of both games and mangas and start a crowdfunding?I don't know who holds the rights right now,anyway. |

Funny you bring that up; this conversation was already had in the "Rocket Company IS Smilesoft" thread, with the consensus being that it would be too complex. Here's just a piece of that conversation:

Hmm. That's an interesting development if companies are willing to talk to fans and license prototype releases like that. I wrote my rant with the opinion that game companies generally don't want to talk to people without a history in the industry except to shut them down. Since then, a couple things have changed: 1. Half the game industry is perfectly willing to work with fans (e.g. SEGA and Christian Whitehead) 2. Half the game industry treats fans like the criminal felons they are (e.g. Nintendo and absolutely everyone) Given that we're like, five people on a message board I don't really fear #2 unless we were to actually reach out to Rocket or whomever and get shot down. Licensing the rights definitely would require a completely different approach to how we run our community here and we'd have to basically shut everything down and actually work like a business. So I'd prefer staying as quiet as possible until we have a pitch or deliverable of some kind. The logistical complications I mentioned before are the same; nothing's changed. We'd probably wind up spending more money on lawyers and translators than actually licensing the property. |

A cellphone with 4 bars of reception! That's what a D-Shot is! (Or, why AT&T will never carry one) | |
