NintendoTankyuu Team. Or (NT)

Project name:
NintendoTankyuu

Brief description:
NintendoTankyuu will be a free-to-play 2d rpg set in the Tankyuu universe which consists of a mixture of classic and new Nintendo characters.
This game will feature a unique real-time battling system, engaging and replayable storyline, and an option for online-battles.

Target aim:
Freeware

Compensation:
This game will be free, but we of course will be accepting donations which will in return help better the game, as well as compensate for hard-work and time spent developing it.

Technology:
N/A yet..

Talent needed:
For the NT team I need:

2 gfx artists, responsible for creating the sprites/backgrounds.
2-3 programmers.


Team structure:
Currently, I have not developed a team. About me, well I'm known as "The IT guy". I don't necessarily do all the hard work, but I'm the guy that makes things work, and brings ideas together. I have experience with developing ORPGs, and some use with Visual Basic. As well I do graphics.

Ok basically, you have a team of 3 players. (For example: Mario, Link, and Kirby). One character is designated as the Team Captain, and is placed on Lane 1, upon starting the battle. The other two members of the team are placed on Lanes 2 and 3.

Each character has a set of stats:
-Health
-Strength
-Defense
.etc..

Different lanes can enhance or nullify certain stats. This adds strategy to the intense combat as players will find themselves switching their characters to different lanes, to better maximize those particular characters specialities.

Characters will have specials that they can use and items that randomly appear on the field, as well as purchased items from shops located before battles!

------------------------------
Planned Features List
-Over 21 selectable nintendo characters
-Beautiful, and original artwork
-Intense, unique battle system
-Rich, engaging storyline
-Online multiplayer combat
(more to be added...)

(P.S., don't bother starting the:"Nintendo will sue you!" crap...I already contacted Nintendo about this.)

Nintendo REALLY said you could do this?? that's pretty cool! did they offer you any help or anything or did they just say " yea whatever"?

but yea, it sounds like a good idea actually! I hope you get a wicked team!

Ahh shit...hold up now..just when I thought I got the "ok" response from Nintendo..it was something else in the email.. @_@ So basically I'm still waiting for them to say yes or no. xD

But we'll be doing original gfx and such..not rips from games. ;)

Ok I receieved the response from Nintendo, in case anyone cares. They basically said in a nut shell how they own rights to their stuff blah blah, and that they receive thousands of emails asking for permission and they dont have time to review. So they said no, but then they also said, use of their properties without formal permision may still be allowed. And that I should seek my own legal counsel, as they do not provide legal advice.(but they sue you!!) rofl

I find that absolutely ridiculous to believe...xD
Well anyway, I'll be continuing this project for the time being. If anyone is still interested, please post below or contact me via MSN: Solidsnk65@yahoo.com

Its not ridiculous in any way. They need to keep there stuff protected. If they allowed every one to use their sprites and characters they would loose money and reputation.

Ermm I meant that it's ridiculous what they said basically, "We do not provide legal advice, get your own." but then they'll go and sue some 6 year old in Taiwan for using Mario sprites in his side scroller. It's just seems "nin-tarded" that they won't officially say yes or no to a project, but then they'll sue you for doing it...

Gotta be careful. Nintendo will C & D the crap out of you XD They did to these people who were making a 3D PS2 ver. of Chrono Trigger (or was it Squarenix... cant remember).almost made me cry :( but sounds pretty good. Just don't put too much love into the project in case nintendo changed their minds

Two questions

1:What's Tankyuu?
2:Can you get rid of the Nintendo part?
