Tenchi Muyo! Dating Sim Commission

[sadvalorali]

Hello all, nice to be here!

I have been interested for some time in trying to create a game that should have really been made long before now.
A "Tenchi Muyo!" dating sim. I have looked into to doing myself, but restraints prevent me from fully dedicating my time.
I am willing to pay a commission to have this game made. I am looking for something in the style of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_Love_(video_game) or "Come See Me Tonight", if anyone is familiar with those games. Just a simple cookie cutter dating sim, it doesn't have to be drastically animated. Of course this will more than require
you be familiar with the anime series, or at least watch a few episodes on YouTube to get the general idea.

Tenchi Muyo! is one the most well known harem titles, where at least two major characters fight for the love of the main character, Tenchi. Why a dating sim has not been made before now, I do not know.

If someone would give me an estimate on the cost, I might talk business.

Thanks for joining the forum, Sadvalorali.

First, please make sure to read Wikipedia's article on fangames here -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_games , as well as its "fan labor" article -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_labor

Second, please be advised that it's not advisable (and perhaps illegal, though I could be wrong) to pay commissions for fans to create or translate games based on any licensed property.

Third, as the fan labor article says, several fan-made games based on licensed properties have been sent cease-and-desist letters by the copyright holders. For instance, "Chrono Resurrection" (based on Chrono Trigger) was intended to be a free fangame, but the project was discontinued due to the actions of Square Enix.

...So yeah, all of this is probably discouraging. Anyone who makes media which is based on copyrighted works is taking a risk. Yes, other people have made fangames with Flash, RPG Maker, Renpy, etc, without receiving C&D letters. Some of them are on this forum. But if you're interested in making - or collaborating with other fans on - a game based on Tenchi Muyo, then just remember that your project *might* be shut down by the license holders, such as Geneon and Funimation.

If you're willing to take that risk, then I recommend making sure the fangame is 1) free, 2) not offensive, 3) does not use official art or music, and 4) credits the copyright holders.

I am willing to work on a Tenchi Muyo Fan Game as an artist and what ever other roles are needed provided that there's someone to write out most of the script and that the game is a free one. Paid fan games get shut down fast. So I'll work free on it.
