MetalGear Post #1

Hey dudes,

I'm working on a game called Starcore Reactor, that uses Terrans, Orcs, and Protoss units. The game is intended for Steam (big project). Anyway, about a third of my characters (total 64) are Protoss units (Zealots/Dark Templars/Dragoons).

The issue I'm having is that the concept of Protoss has intellectual property rights by Blizzard (now Microsoft). I don't have the funds right now to spend money on big property rights. Is there any way around this issue?

None.

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

- Name them something else and make them look slightly different
- Make it non-profit, then Blizzard will probably not care

Well, option 1 is my only possibility. I've thought about it. Sounds like good advice. However, the Protoss is such a brilliant design. It's hard to change anything without degrading it. My other concern, is that I need to use Dragoons. Not sure to what extent these units need modifying.

None.

We do a little trolling

Smealots and Fragoons twerking in, sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
