Soul Eater Fan Game ^-^

#1 Post by Purpleryuk » Mon Jul 15, 2013 5:04 pm

So I don't know how many people would play a game where you could attend the DWMA, be a weapon and date the guys there but I definitely would and I couldn't find any online so I decided to go and make one myself! :D So I wanna know if anyone else likes this idea!!! If you do like this idea you can help by giving me some ideas!! :mrgreen:

Please keep in mind that if you create a fan game, you could get a cease and desist letter. It's happened to a few fan-made games that were intended to be distributed for free, and that seemed to respect their source material. This is a risk you take when you create just about any kind of fan labor (including art, fiction, music videos, remixes, modification patches, and Let's Plays).

That said, keep in mind that the following might help you:

* Decide what sort of story you want to tell, or what sort of game you want to present.
* Look at its scope, and decide if you're ready to tackle it. Don't try to accomplish too much with your first VN/game.
* If you're unable to create art assets, ask politely for help. The same applies if you're having trouble with writing or debugging.
* Give yourself deadlines, and stick with them.

You might want to consider contacting the copyright holder and ask for their permission to make a free fan game. The worst that could happen is for them to say "No", and they might even say "yes."
All of my VNs are at http://wolflore.net NOTE: Downloads are now working.
Some are at http://www.the-new-lagoon.com. NSFW
Poorly done hand-drawn art is still poorly done art. Be a Poser (or better yet, use DAZ Studio 3D) - dare to be different.
