lukeskywalker1 Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Matt-Liell and i are going to start making a zelda game for JKII SP, we dont know a lot about the story, but we will figure that out. what we do know is that we will need people to make models and maps, we will need a lot of models. right now we are going to use Matt-Liell's Link model when he finishes it, but we still need Ganondorf (form Ocarina of Time, the man, not Ganon, the monster) we also will need princess Zelda (obviously because she is in every Zelda game) i dont know about any other characters right now. we will use Link from Matt-Liell and Ganondorf, from someone whoever will make it. another thing, is it legal to make a Zelda game because its a trademark and copyrighted by nintendo?

Kstar__2 Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 i probably could find out how to model in bryce, or in anim8tor, so i could make a model (i'll have to learn it first) but i don't know if i can get it in-game, so i'll need some help with it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[EDIT] Copy of e-mail sent not 2 mins ago (hope - else tomorrow morning...) Hi. My name is Jon Adamson, and I am writing to you with respect to a potential legal matter which has arisen as a result of a planned modification for Jedi Knight II on the PC. A group of us were hoping to use the JKII engine to create a sort of first person experience for the Zelda continum, or lock the perspective to third person and do it... But thats besides the point. We just wish to check whether we are able to do so without infringing copyrights, offending or general toe stepping. We did not see a problem with it, as it is a format you do not use for this product, and would not be a direct attempt to emulate any previous Zelda series title. it may only become a set of models, skins and levels to emulate combat against Ganondorf rather than a full adventure, but we still wouild like your 'blessing' as it were. Thank you for you time. [/EDIT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeskywalker1 Posted March 11, 2003 Author Share Posted March 11, 2003 so did u send that email to nintendo? well i guess we should just wait and see...... anyways nintendo supports JKII, they have the game for there system, it was just released a month or two ago anyways. but i really dont think anyone wants to get sued, so lets be careful. umm..... what is there email address?

Seph Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 umm I have a clue of how ganondorf could come back, I just Legend of Zelda Oracal of the Ages. two witches preform many sacrafices to a pit witch suposedly goes to where Ganondorf went when he died. They sacrafice a hundred people and ganondorf comes out of the pit and kill the witches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeskywalker1 Posted March 12, 2003 Author Share Posted March 12, 2003 ganon didnt kill them, the wiches (twinrova) were going to offer zelda as a sacrifice to bring ganon back, but link went to save her, and had to fight twinrova, when they almost died, they said they didnt have enough energy to offer zelda as a sacrifice, so they offered themselves, then link had to fight ganon, but that wasnt the same link, if u remember zelda didnt know who he was... so it couldnt have been the same guy..... well still waiting on that email...... have u heard anything nova_wolf?

lukeskywalker1 Posted March 12, 2003 Author Share Posted March 12, 2003 its not going to be a whole lot, just a few cutscenes, 6-8 new models, right now Link, Ganondorf, Zelda (Main Ones) then the othjer npcs that u fight, they can be whatever the modeler wants as long as its not something crazy, nothing like that...... then 1-3 levels, 1-2 middle bosses, then the fight with ganondorf, its not that hard, i dont think..... oh yeah new weapons i have some idea about that, lets say thermal detonaters are the bombs, all u will need to do is change the way they look, and maybey the sound, then for the bow and arrow remake the wookie bowcaster, its the closest thing to a bow, so it should work, but link might hold it sideways. ***ill PM nova_wolf about that email*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nova_wolf Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 Think the phrase I am looking for is **** (Mods - I bleeped it out for you ) Read it and weep guys! Message(#6851-000108-2736\1082736) Hello, We appreciate your interest in Nintendo and our highly acclaimed line of video game products. To us, it's a sign of recognition and your vote of confidence in the Nintendo name. While we appreciate your request, we regret that we are unable to provide support or grant a license for use of our trademarks and copyrights.

Sincerely, Nintendo of America Inc. J.J. Craig McClure I wouldn't mind, but the message does not sound like a personal response as such. Like a generic letter to all who may ask similar stuff. Basically, it sucks. the options open to us now are; 1) We clasp hands behind backs and walk off whistling... 2) We sod that and do it on the sly... I have to say that given the project not POSSIBLY being a threat to the Zelda series, as long as it is freeware, all credits and thanks listed, we just run with it until they try and bend us over a desk.... Any objections? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seph Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Guys don't do it behind their backs, I tried the same with capcom and they sent me a warning that if I didn't get rid of the file I would be sued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
