hi, you are using an intellectual copyright, the halo ideas, and trying to make your own game to be put on the 360. you are violating so many copyrights, that the fbi wont even bother sending a cease and desist order. they will probably just rip the door off your house (see: dickesode, aqua teen hunger force) and spray the place down with a mounted, reverse engineered chaingun that shoots sedative darts until the place resembles the over used cliche "swiss cheese"

the point of that admittedly humorous rant is that you are going to get yourself in trouble. WHY are you indemnified from the scope of the law?

Your gonna get a C&D.

There will be no lawsuit because we are Getting the rights, and than selling the game. We are actually going to let Microsoft market it, and the fact that the game is interesting to Microsoft is what I am wondering. (I personally sent an message in and got a response asking for more information, it also included some other information telling me that they were interested in the whole idea of the game.)

I like Futurama better, but Aqua Team Hunger Force is cool too.

The fact that seemingly no one read my previous post rather disappoints me. In the case of the good chance that no one feels like going back a page to look, I said we would be perfectly happy with releasing the game over the internet for free. With this being said, there really isn't much reason to continue on the "your not going to be able to do this" topic. Unless of course there is a new issue you notice.

I sent a join request.

Well, if your not lying to us (@killerkip), hope it tunrs out well. Make sure it has Multiplayer...

Lets go with what Face sais, he is most likely right, and I hope we get the chance to make it free, rather than selling it to Microsoft.

(P.S. This game will be a FULL Game, not a mod or cheap fanon, a FULL REAL Game)

Cheers!

Make sure that you have multiplayer, and it doesn't fail =)

I wont, I hope to have an Xbox Live *like* setup, for a nicer feel. (like a friends list, voice chat, etc., the regular.)

And Halo 3 weapons and items are FOR SURE!

Don't ruin the book's name with that...=/

Do some custom, Halo-Like weapons, and especially not halo 3. Because the weapons aren't that advanced yet.

And don't go through Windows live if you are thinking of multi-player. Get a server going and make your own live thing.

I agree with Hazard the project needs to stay out of MS servers.

But that's getting ahead of yourselves.

Hey, it's always good to think ahead =)

My question still stands: What engine are you using?

I second this question.

please dont make it like xbox live multiplayer so much, it is really...REALLY annoying, especially the setup for 'games for windows' like gears of war; MS messed up the online for GoW PC that they actually killed 3/4 of the online community for it...so please, PLEASE do it right and try to make something a little more different from it; also wasnt ghosts of onyx before halo 3....? if so, why have H3 weapons...?

Why not make a completely new game using the XNA engine.

right, like they can get a server up to host multiplayer games. and stuff

No. Make a completely new game. If your going through all this hassle to make a game. Just make a completely new one using XNA. That way it will be for the PC and xbox and you can program any feature you want in it. I have been playing around in XNA for C# for a while. I think its a good idea.

just because bungie took out the assault rifle in halo 2 doesnt mean its not in the unvierse

qft

And the halo 1 ar wouldn't exist if it weren't for marathon!

no it would be the ma5k

how?

like this?

odd statement. it isnt a fact if it hasnt been explored or isnt known yet. not to mention that they wont be thrilled

care to share the email? im curious

i like futurama as well. do not start a tv discussion.

did u tell microsoft ur a noob team with members found on the internet? and that u need funds? and however old you are?

Using illegal tools to make a copyrighted game without a creative rights license. Also you would need some of the writers from bungie to get more details of the story.

or maybe u can get help from ensemble studios :B

oh whats that?

As stated numerous times on this forum, if you have nothing constructive to say you're better off not posting. While you may see this as constructive, not only did you insult the team by using the word "noob," but you also stated something that other people have already stated. As for how old we are... does that really matter?

yes because if you are under 18, no one will fund or license anything you make
Edited by Advancebo on Oct 1, 2008 at 08:44 PM

Bull. People have had books published under the age of 18

books published, is that the same thing as making a game and having it licensed under one of the biggest companies?

Very similar actually. A book goes through just about as many processes as a program sold for money does.

Is this written somewhere or is it an assumption of some type? If there is actual evidence that this is a fact I'd be happy to consider it, otherwise I see no point in changing plans based on an assumption.

no not really, books can easily take a few weeks to a few months. games can take years.

Oh yes really Advancebo.

Books worth their salt take ages to write. Then go through the editorial processes....

Same with programs
