Hi Charlse.
That is true, and I must admit I'd love to play something like final fantasy
or dark souls myself, or to show people who haven't had the chance to play
them the true fun that can be had metroid hunting on Planet Zeebs, however
the problem is the fat cats and their stupid laws, and yes, the way
copywrite is currently treated is stupid, indeed I think John Swift,
generally held to be the originator of the modern concept of copywrite since
gullivers' travels was ruthlessly plagerised would be quite appauled to see
where things are at this point.
However there is another side to the coin. why should people be bound to
characters and concepts reamed up by others rather than thinking up their
own? Indeed in the world of independent games there are just as strong
characters and concepts as in the world of mainstream games, since after all
creative story writing isn't just the prerogative of big companies and that
is one area where an ameter can do as well as a professional.
That is another reason why i'd love to see some creative story telling with
game concepts, since that! doesn't require anything more than good
imagination and writing, and at worst some actors and a narrator.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
