/v/ - Video Games

They're not killing shit, people are just attention-seeking fame-mongering retards that don't actually make fangames, they just slap together some shitty video and get people hyped and start up a gofundme then sit on it until the inevitable crackdown hits.

You can make a fangame and keep it under wraps, then release it and they can't do shit about it.

IF YOU ARE MAKING A COOL FANGAME.

Shut the fuck up about it.

Because they're the only ones people make fangames about. The only exception is sonic, and sega knows sonic autism cannot be stopped, only integrated, like with Mania.

>>15386039

>They're not killing shit,

What is Project M?

What is AM2R?

What is OoT 2D?

What is Pokemon Uranium?

What is SM64 HD?

What is Zelda Maker?

What are hundreds of other small fangames that have bit the dust because of Nintendo being copykikes?

>>15386042

Or just post anonymously here on not on (((Discord))) like every dipshit does nowadays

>>15386042

This, don't be an attention whore.

Finish it, put it out on some torrent or download site, and wait for somebody to find it.

Otherwise you are going to get your shit fucked by some large schnozzed gentlemen.

>>15386054

Or you could just shut the fuck up about it until it is done and uploaded.

>>15386054

>>15386064

Just because its a fucking retarded law, doesn't suddenly make it not a law mate.

Copyright law repealing fucking never ever.

>>15386030

>Why do Nintendo actively kill fangames?

They fear competion

Note that these fags making fangames are literally only famous because they're using fucking Nintendo brands. If AM2R wasn't AM2R but some other generic metroidvania like A Robot Named Fight, only 2% of you fucking faggots would even know it existed and 1% would know the name enough to repeat it.

>>15386064

Wew yourself, lad. Stop the presses, corporations don't like people using their brands willy-nilly! More at 10 o'clock!

>>15386070

>>Why do Nintendo actively kill fangames?

>They fear competion

Because they're legally obligated to kill them or risk losing their trademarks due to them becoming generic. Copyright can't be lost in this way (although later damages can be reduced if there's no previous action to defend said copyright) but trademarks can, and Nintendo is a company built on trademarks and franchises.

>>15386090

>Weren't those only killed, because the makers were dumb enough to use copyrighted names?

Yes. If fan-game makers made "homages" that were either satirical or something, they'd be fine, but because they're retards who think nothing can possibly go wrong if they use fucking trademarked and copyrighted characters and franchises, they get nuked from orbit by the hook-nosed lawyers.

Just don't announce you're working on it, or if you have to, say you're "inspired by" such and such a game, not making a fucking sequel using content that isn't legally yours.

It's not a hard fucking concept to understand.

Doesn't make copyright law any less jewish though. Walt Disney was right to fear the jew.

>>15386094

>Walt Disney was right to fear the jew.

But disney was the one staunchly raping the copyright system to what it is today.

>>15386101

Walt's raping of copyright law stopped when he died in 1966 and, despite his protests and dying wishes, his company was eventually bought out and controlled by jews who have continuously extended copyright law beyond the "creator's life" time limitation that was put in place in Walt's day (which is fair enough, previously it had only been about 20 years).

>>15386101

Walt Disney =\= the Disney corp.

Disney didn't start really fucking with copyright law until the 70's, Walt died in 1966.

>>15386115

Ohh ok, thanks for the clarification.

>>15386054

>pokemon uranium

It has a motherkiller's name attached to it so i'm glad its dead

>>15386124

> which one is worse is highly debatable.

One company wants to make games and toys and doesn't want anybody else to make unlicensed versions of their toys.

The other company wanted to put a Windows gaming device in the loungeroom as a wedge to get their hardware into every loungeroom, with later iterations forcing spyware and botnets built-in to the system and to make you pay for the privilege, and introduced concepts like subscription fees for fucking p2p hosted multiplayer and the cancer known as achievements.

I know which one I think is worse.

If you have the means to make a fan game with stolen assets then why not invest extra time to make those ideas into your own, faggot?

>>15386048

>The only exception is sonic, and sega knows sonic autism cannot be stopped, only integrated, like with Mania.

As if Mania hasn't totally screwed up their plans for Sonic. What was supposed to be a simple tie-in to their latest "blockbuster" ended up completely eclipsing their own efforts. There's no way they'll make that mistake again. Sooner or later it'll be Sega who cracks down on their fanbases.

>>15386145

>>15386132

Lack of creativity/love for original franchise.

Its pretty understandable really, I myself have made dozens of dozens of design documents of various games that I love the characters/world/aesthetics/ect for, but want the gameplay to be better because the devs can't balance the game worth a dogs shit.

>>15386156

Keep those documents, but throw out any ties to other IPs if you can. My love for Zelda and classic Ys with Paper Mario stats is turning into a game about cute monster girl adventures. As for my love for Lufia, YIIK ruined the turn-based RPG plans I had. However I do have plans for a 4-player couch co-op dungeon crawler party brawler with waifus based off of a spin-off idea because of Curse of the Sinistral's new plot hole. I managed to turn Hilda, Guy's sister, into a /fit/ ara-ara fighter.

>>15386030

>Are they afraid the fangames will be better than their games and people will play these unofficial games instead?

>AMR2

Funnily enough, I played some of the other metroid games because, at the time, AMR2 existed.

I still have it. Fuck you nintendo

What happened to the Mother 4 fan game? It was fun to piss off the shill back at half-chan before the exodus.

>>15386030

>Why do Nintendo actively kill fangames?

Because they can.

>They are damaging their “family friendly” image they made.

You have no idea what that means. Not a fucking clue. YOU are the reason that Disney can get away with owning a softcore porn channel, film studio that makes films about rape, drugs, and wanton sex, and puts faggots and trannies in its children’s shows. You have no idea what “family friendly” means.

>>15386354

Preposterous. Faggots and trannies are really really REALLY family friendly.

It's the faggots at NOA.

>>15386042

or just use TOR

>>15386247

but throw out any ties to other IPs if you can.

that defeats the entire point of fan games.

There should be no reason to do this if you aren't selling/receiving donations for it.

But the copyright jews will not have any of that.

>>15386437

So, sell the game to normalfags and get something back for your labors. You can't stop /v/ from pirating your games, but at least we'll support your game if it's good and you're not an IRL faggot.

Or release your original games as freeware to get your name out so you can monetize later projects or get connections to bigger groups. There is literally no excuse to make "good" fan games. You're not going to recive Potatohead Motor's blessing to make a non-cancer Mario game officially.

So tell Jewtendo's lawyers to fuck off they hold no power here. As for dead IPs let sleeping dogs lie. Trust me, I know from experience getting over that first creative hurdle on making your own idea is a mountain. After you climb it, everything else will come naturally to you.

This is your intellectual property you're keeping to yourself. You can do almost anything you want with it.

Try writing a one-page fiction or doodling your own idea with your own and see where that goes.

>>15386517

you have mark to thank for that

Oh and let's not forget

>Kills modifications that allow multiplayer coop in 20+ year old n64 games

>>15386497

>There is literally no excuse to make "good" fan games

People don't make fangames to make good games, they want to make games with characters they like. A handful of fangames just happen to be good games.

If they only care for the gameplay, they should probably do what you describe.

>>15386660

Did you forget Activision is Blizzard-Activision now? They fucked up with not having a campaign for Black Cocks Quatro but it got overshadowed by their main competitor, Battlecripple V(agina's) PR disaster concerning muh inclusivity. Also their continuing trend of releasing sequentially fuckshit awful expansions to their whale farm of a game, WoW, each one so bad that it makes the previous expansion look better in comparison.

>>15386054

Let me do some research on your claims:

Project M didn't get C&D'd, it was canceled. There was fear of legal action, but nothing actually happened: https://www.gamnesia.com/news/the-real-reason-project-ms-developers-cancelled-the-smash-bros-mod-was-fear

AM2R released at the wrong time, because they had their own Metroid 2 remake in the works. Even so, that was a token shutdown too, because they didn't even shut it down until after it was released: https://www.reddit.com/r/AM2R/comments/5dw5dv/what_reason_was_it_that_nintendo_dmced_that_game/

OoT 2D was not C&D'd. Development just died. They had personal lives that took over: http://zfgc.com/forum/index.php?topic=41677.0

Pokemon Uranium were fucking retards who started taking money in via Patreon while developing a derivative of somebody else's trademarks: http://pokemon-uranium.tumblr.com/post/118818927275/pokemon-uranium-is-now-on-patreon-if-you-enjoyed

Other Pokemon fangames never got touched because they weren't stupid enough to try to profit.

You're right about SM64 HD. That was a Unity fan game that got shut down.

Zelda Maker got C&D'd, but they switched it to their own assets as "Legend Maker" instead. So you're right, but it didn't kill the project, he just took out the trademarked shit. It wasn't really a "fan game" in the first place.

So 1 out of 3, or 1 out of 2 if you include Pokemon Uranium (and you really shouldn't. They were taking donations to make a Pokemon fangame. Begging for shit.)

The vast majority of fan games don't get touched unless they use ripped artwork or music or they try to profit from it. That said, you and everybody else knows that you are playing with fire when you are using not only other people's copyrights, but actual company trademarks to make your own art. It's clearly derivative work, and you are accepting that risk onto yourself. Nintendo is the worst, but I'm not sure if I'm aware of any non-Nintendo fangames that lasted either, as it seems like everybody wants to make Zelda, Mario, and Pokemon fangames more than anything else. Nintendo does it badly, but who else really has the opportunity? How many non-Nintendo fangames are there?

>>15386030

>They are damaging their "family friendly" image they made

How? Bayonetta is treated as a nintnedo character at this point.

>They are damaging their "family friendly" image they made.

Yeah I'm sure Grandma is going to double check how they deal with fan games to make sure the E for everyone rating isn't a hoax

>>15386030

>They are damaging their "family friendly" image they made.

They're not.

Disney and Studio Ghibli did much worse and are fine. Legal actions like that don't affect image.

>Are they afraid the fangames will be better than their games and people will play these unofficial games instead?

Jesus, no. They're just extremely controlling of their brand and don't want to see it in products they don't authorize. Its an image thing. Big companies are autistically protective of that shit.

You're preaching to the choir here, by the way. We've had this same thread several times already and the consensus is that Nintendo indeed sucks. Go tell people at Smash and Pokemon threads to stop sucking on Nintendo dick if you want to make a difference. Or take it to Gamefaqs.

She's considered family friendly by California standards and that's good enough for the faggots at NoA. Also family friendly primarily means that they're a trusted brand by parents so when they release a game that's E, parents know it'll be good enough to keep their kid distracted without using too much violence.

Jesus, ya sure love making ethical arguments out of legal precedent enforced business practices.

Nintendo® is simply acting within their rights and fulfilling their company's obligation to protect their intellectual property against misuse or infringement; this is the shit you sign up for when you pay for digital goods. What they do is simply to avoid any sort of future misunderstanding when the time comes that they actually care about the results, so as to avoid any gray area arguments. This requires a zealous legal team, which they're proven to operate as this is one of the only companies that goes after popular ROM sites. What I've always found interesting about this is that they always wait until release, I followed AM2R's development for years and much was posted and discussed, it was no big secret, and the author had been releasing tech demos for years. Only when it was released was action taken, effectively allowing most of these titles to be completed.

>>15387959

anyone who isnt butthurt by corporate tyranny is probably a jew

>>15387845

Anon, Nintendo killed AM2R and then released a shittier metroid 2 remake a year later. PM was only popular amongst a select group of smashfags, why would Nintendo give a shit? PR is obviously not on their mind when they kill fan projects.

Those that allowed the politicians responsible to continue their careers? Those that espoused the concept of digital ownership? Yes, these were all people that made decisions, but the rest of us have to live with those decisions, and are all subject to them, because, we live in an interconnected series of societies.

Have fun spending your life on an argument that didn't needed to exist and have been so forcefully extended that turned into a groundhog debait that will just never end due people on eternal denial. TL;DR: If you want to make a fucking fangame and get cash out of it either you find a company that doesn't mind and good fucking luck with that or go to a place where copyright infringement laws don't exist/can't be enfoced upon you, otherwise shut the fuck up and quietly develop then release the fucking game you fucking shekel hungry whore I hate spending time on a never ending argument as much as i hate people keeping them alive just to fuck around.

>>15388697

Go crawl in an oven where you belong kike

Did fangame creators ever consider creating their own original games instead? You can basically copy every game mechanic from whatever game you're inspired by (except for minigames in the loading screen) as long as you aren't literally copy pasting assets.

>>15388985

As long as you don't use copyright protected designs, names, or assets, you are in the clear. Of course that entirely nullifies the point of a "fangame".

>>15388985

You have to reverse engineer your own systems from the ground up to get them to work. Otherwise if you use stolen code that can be traced to the original game without a license, that's copyright infringement.

Exception to this is if you purchase a license to use a game engine. Which so far Nintendo has yet to open any of their in house development software to the public. I don't think the DD track maker in F-Zero counts.

>>15388697

> either people are jews because they want money or they are commies

I actually started out >>15387959

by linking a Marxist philosophy video on why we shouldn't pay for digital reproductions.

>>15388985

Yes. But a lot of those weren't fans, they were developers for other companies that had already done the work; legends say Blizzard were contracted to make Warhammer Fantasy as an RTS but Games Workshop didn't followup on it, so the rebranded it as Warcraft. Mother 4 however will be held back and rewritten as its own title.

This is the face of damage control....

See the screencap in >>15386699, kids. Youll learn alot.

>>15386655

Those people are fools making games based on characters they do not own.

First, regardless of what you want for that character it's the IP owner who has 100% say so on the final design. If you make a game with a copyrighted character from that multi-million dollar corporation then that corporation will want everything done the way it wants to. This means dealing with Potato Motor's no story policy bullshit for Mario.

Second, you need permission to use that character for development in the first place. Most corporations will demand you pay a license to put a trademarked logo in your product. But for a whole character from Nintendo you must go through their strict approval process first before they approve the license. And if you're lucky enough to get that license well you better make your game to Nintendo's standards in first point and meet Nintendo's deadlines. They have merchandise and marketing to sell.

And if you don't have that licensed permission from Nintendo, they won't just DMCA your project. They'll throw a full copyright infringement lawsuit to make sure your project's development with your ideas based on Nintendo characters will never get rewritten to not include copyrighted Nintendo characters because the last thing Nintendo wants is for you to make a Donkey Kong sized hit without Nintendo's name.

Keep Nintendo out of your "fan" projects. Don't make another Link. Don't make another Mario. Make an original character that will stand out on his/her own that someday will be more popular than Mario.

Nintendo is on the Disney Fuck You Spiral of Copyright Monopolization. Population play more games on smart phones than Switch. Let that sink in.

>>15389709

Sage for second post. But I need to clarify that any company as big as Nintendo will use their power to monopolize their IPs. The IP game is really one of those times where the best move is not to play. I encourage fan game makers to try to make their own stuff rather than fan creations for their freedom.

Some disclosure: Mods can look at my posting history to know I admit I have a Nintendo Switch and I do play new Nintendo games on it. That doesn't mean I'm willing to defend a company with products I still like to the death. They need to be critically challenged on their anti-consumer actions.

>>15389709

you're a retard.

>>15389764

I outlined a whole bunch of shit Nintendo does to destroy competing developers whether a fan game is complete with ir without their blessing and you insist on calling me a nintendrone.

Tell me which is better earned? Leeching off of the fame of the Mickey Mouse of video games to get your work reconized or proving that you can make better games without Nintendo.

>>15386030

Nintendo seems like they've got some really expensive legal team on retainer, and it's likely that part of their job is to find a reason to keep suckling money from Nintendo. There's also the issue with copyrights where they have to be defended or actively enforced, otherwise precedents start getting set and it weakens their ability to do shit in the future.

Long and short, Copyright law is a bunch of bullshit. Thank Disney and the irreparable harm that China has done, but don't ever stop spitting in Nintendo's eye when they do this shit, because even though they are just following the rules, they are still really fucking bad about this sort of thing. Just look at how they handle the whole youtube thing. People can't even post videos with clips of gameplay from Nintendo games these days.

>>15389915

Ugh… I dun goofed. Whoops. Sorry.

That said whether or not Nintendo is the best company in the world is irrelevant. The less powerful people that have their fingers in your pies the better. Nintendo doesn't need my games to live (yet). And if Nintendo bans my games from their platforms then I will publish elsewhere.

If Nintendo doesn't want me to make Nintendo games then I wont touch their IPs in my work. And neither does Nintendo want you to publish better games with their IPs. So don't make games with Nintendo characters.

>>15386790

There are tons of Sonic fangames and ROM hacks and Sega are being cool about it, going so far as to make Sonic Mania and even letting the official developers like Stealth do livestreams at the Sonic Amateur Games Expo.

That said, I think there was some Streets of Rage drama some time ago, with them deleting gameplay videos off YouTube and cancelling some SoR fangame. Althougn, if I'm not mistaken, the new Streets of Rage is actually done by those fans, but don't quote me on that.

YES YOU CAN YOU FUCKING RETARD

The reason why is because of the assumption/belief/indication that there are still people out there willing to buy the product they sell in the way they make it and that is because they're the only ones making it;if they allow derivative works of their IP they do not have a direct hand into or profit from it in some way,even if those are for free, that creates immediate competition.In the corporate eye anyone that is not affiliated with the corporation is a competitor

So in their mind they would be either losing money or even worse practically handing over the IP in time since nobody buys their shit products anymore and prefer the derivatives.

So at that point they must either buy out the competition which would mean more money spent re-aquiring something that was theirs to begin with and then synching up with the corporate guidelines which makes the whole point moot since the only reason people prefered that over theirs was because it wasn't theirs or change the corpotate guidelines to suit the needs of the newly acquired old IP,which essentially is the equivalent of the conquered dictating the conditons of surrender to the conqueror not to mention every single other derivative that will pop-up in that time trying to take the place of the previous one.

So in conclusion all that shit would be better avoided if

they hadn't allowed it to happen in the first place

>>15391067

Copyright law never expires.

>>15391130

Which is exactly the reason why they make sure that no matter what they're the ones that have the upper hand when it comes into who is creating something for their IP,if you give creative freedom to the wrong person to do something with it they may either fuck things up completely and you're stuck with a once succesful IP that's worth less now than it did before or even worse make a runaway success with it and now you're the one dependent on them for the creation of the next one and not the other way around.

Just look at Star Wars

>>15391130

But can be RESCINDED by taking various actions, you dipshit.

>>15391158

That never happens and you know it. Go be a corporate whore somewhere else.

The argument is that if they finished the game first, it would be too late to do anything about it once anyone finds out about it.

They kill fan games because they see them as threats to potential revenue, like AM2R came out months before their own Metroid 2 remake.

Nintendo has the right to protect their stuff, sure, but a lot of the problems with these fan game developers every fucking time is that they make themselves and their fan games too public when they know Nintendo's track record.

Just fucking put it up on bittorrent and pass around the links through forums and boards, fucking morons.

If you are making a cool fangame:

>Torrents are eternal and can't be DMCA'd (well… the trackers can, but PeX and DHT make them more resilient)

>Do NOT use online source control (e.g. GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket) as the main means to save your code. Use it solely as a free website.

>Do not expose email addresses or your physical address. You can only cease and desist an addressable entity. That also means you will have to disable mail services that may or may not come with a website you buy.

that's the literal definition of trademark dilution, fucking mouthbreather retard.

If a company allows fangames they can't complain later a rival company uses their IP and claims is another fan game.

fucking retard.

yeah, I'm planning on remaking the first mario bross in HD with rule 63 of mario.

Most people who start fangame projects are just attention seeking faggots who then claim C&D to save face after they realize it takes actual longterm work to make one.
