Re: Where do people get Character Graphics for they're games?

What are the laws about using copyrighted characters? If, say, I wanted to make a free game based on Love Hina; is it illegal to use the characters and setting at all? If I want a picture of Naru in my game, which of the following are allowed: - A picture I draw of Naru, with my own clothes, poses, ...

Re: All About Sequels, Remakes, Uncut Versions

The main reason for a sequel, in my opinion, is to finish the story. Of course, I've read a lot more books than I've played VNs, and the reasons for a sequel might be a little different; generally, a VN will be a complete standalone work, in which case a sequel isn't really necessary. But a game or ...

Re: Deeplake - Demo of Demo Released!

Wow. And this isn't even the full demo? I'm impressed. Can't wait to try the rest! There were a few cases were I thought commas would perhaps have been better as semi-colons, though that's really a matter of taste. And I think there was a superfluous apostrophe somewhere... "It seems that the Kinsle...

Re: Phoenix Wright

To help Japanese children with their English homework? Not that I ever play my NoE games in French, German, etc, though. There's a lot more than just translating the game going on, anyway. They have to localise the whole thing; see here http://www.nintendo.com/newsarticle?articleid=5mLTEfSPVUJJqjyIi...

Re: Do Japanese homes have garages?

You have to rent some kind of "car lift garage", it looks like a parking lot but it's vertical. Imagine cars placed on several levels, on some kind of metallic plates. You compose your number and voila, your car comes down thanks to a hydraulic system. You mean it's exactly like in that Thunderbird...

Re: Phoenix Wright

I'm hoping they release number three here... There's no date on Nintendo's website other than "2007," but at least that means it should be coming out. Shouting "Objection!" or "Hold it!" in public is great fun... Oh well... at least I can play Lost in blue.... it was the only time I managed to persu...

Do you mean you want the amount of money constantly shown, at the top or something? (Like, say, Zelda.)

Re: A game with a message...?

To quote Oscar Wilde... "I am afraid you don't quite see the moral of the story," remarked the Linnet. "The what?" screamed the Water-rat. "The moral." "Do you mean to say that the story has a moral?" "Certainly," said the Linnet. "Well, really," said the Water-rat, in a very angry manner, "I think ...

Re: eBay is eVil

Oh, I'm happy enough playing/watching/reading pretty much anything. And I have played worse... For example, when I got the CDi it came with a free mini golf game from the ebay person. Now that was a bad game. Press the button at the right time, and the ball goes in! Although the dialogue isn't as......
