Two problems: It's copyrighted, so you'll be sued.
And two...... How old are you? Do you know coding?

its not That big... i mean a little game... not sell or anything. of course i know coding, you can't make a game without coding!
the legends fan base isn't big enough for a game worth getting royloties, so i thought it would be sort of like a fan game.
I said "freeware" so basicly we think we won't enfringe copyright laws. were making everything ourselves models, levels, gameplay, code , only thing we are using are the names.
and plus its for forum members only

Wow! Sounds like fun! Maybe you should have a story where the Casket family+ the Bonnes team up together! I hope you can get it off of the ground.
As for the copyright thing, if everything you said was true, ZFGoku, then capcom would have to sue all the fan fiction writers everywhere. It's only against the law if you make a profit.

Personally, I think it's all talk. Unless the game is REALLY short, I don't expect it to be completed. Ever. It's just nature. You think it's a good idea, but after a while, you get tired and bored of it. Plus I doubt it'll be anywhere near the level of a real game, and I believe that it's just a waste of effort.
And that's mainly my personal feelings, but I've seen it happen too many times to feel that I'm wrong.

We've worked on many games before and we know what you mean and it has happened to us before. we'll probably build it mission by mission at a time(besides, were having fun making it.)
But we intend to make some amount of gameplay available to everyone.

Lol, vampire. Oh wait! That gives me an idea! What if the main bad guy is the Master's evil brother whom he fought against for centuries, but he had to seal him away somewhere, kinda like Dracula in Castevania. The Master had to build Elysium to seal his brother, but somehow, he was revived. theend.

First thing -- Freeware is copyrighted stuff... Much like the old days of PC gaming, Let's say you download episode one of DOOM... that's freeware, then you'd have to buy the other two episodes to get the SOFTWARE.
GWPharoahMan54, fan fiction is legal. But if you published it at an official publisher, that's make it illegal, unless you get permission.
Also --- All those people that are on Kazaa, WinMX, etc. that are hosting music files for no profit is perfectly legal then?

Sounds like an interesting idea, although I'm not familiar enough with copyright laws to say anything but... Also --- All those people that are on Kazaa, WinMX, etc. that are hosting music files for no profit is perfectly legal then? You're comparing two separate issues, distributing copyrighted materials vs. creating a not-for-profit original work based on a copyrighted game. That's like comparing the legality of this game being made to distributing a Mega Man Legends ISO. Two separate issues with different laws regarding them. EDIT: I think this topic is more suited for the "Fan Stuff" board.

When we started this we thought as long as we made everything ourselves that it would be legal. Its more like a 3d interactive fan fiction more than anything else .See I don't have any talent in drawing(so fan art is out of the question) but I can create games (sort of). And my brother can script in many scripting languages. (And I agree this does belong in fan stuff).

Hmmm....
I see what you mean, Feld.
Though, I still think it's a bad idea if it actually gets completed, I'm not saying the game will be bad, but somebody at Capcom sooner or later will find out and make it be deleted, even if it IS legal!

You don't have to worry about legal issues, its our game. If you want complain pm me or not my name. anyway our 3d interactive fanfiction (game) is doing fine were developing our own answers to holes in the original story. and we have started developing the elysium anyway anyone who thinks they have a good idea for the game please post.

Here's an idea for the game---lots and lots of Birdbots! They rock! And put in Quackard!
Also, try not to put in any continuity-crossovers unless that was a really, really important idea you already had. I really think fighting a -Man type villiain in Legends context would not be copascetic (Spelling Sucks).
I don't think, unless you managed to get a seriously large distribution, like millions of copies, that you will have any major problems with copyright or whatnot.
