I would like to add that I work on original games for free just for the opportunity to sign my name on them. Assuming there's someone to do art because I'm still learning.

I suggest going the IALO route when it comes to Rips. Make something unique thats not related to the IP.

You're absolutely right. I think if people want to make a fan game then their best option is to abstract the IP, going from Star Wars to 'some game about men with energy swords and starships'.

Well, I decided that instead of Saiyans shooting energy beams, that it'd make more sense if the energy beams were actually magical spells. Then I started calling the Saiyans wizards, because that just made sense.

Well, the energy beams didn't make a lot of sense, so I decided to give the wizards wands.

Before long, I realized that rather than punching bags to get stronger, wizards probably needed to study specific wand motions and read a lot of books on spells. Reading books is tedious, so I decided to let players do that while AFK.

Now, just sitting around on King Kai's planet reading books didn't really work, so I decided it'd make more sense in the setting to create a school for wizards and witches. I liked the idea of snake way, but it didn't make a lot of sense for getting to that school, so I made it into a train.

So, I decided the dragonballs weren't fitting in this mythos anymore, so I added three items of extreme magical power that would grant their wielders a decisive advantage. One was a cloak that made you invisible, one was a stone that could ressurrect images of the dead, and one was a wand that couldn't be beaten in combat.

And that's the story all about how I got sued by JK Rowling.

Being original is hard.

I mean if they would make these games for us we wouldn't have to. Like I swear if Akira and who ever makes the DBZ games would make an online game (not DBO DBZ should never be a click and auto attack game) I wouldn't even be making my DBZ game. But no they only make these console games and Xenoverse was a nice try but got boring quick + spammers and not exactly the same MMO type of feel.

What o.O I love all Legacy of Goku and Buu's Fury... Keep them assumptions to yourself. But yes I do hate games like WoW and Runescape I prefer games such as Tera and Dragon's Nest.

EDIT: I don't know if I misread what you typed @Yut Put but Legacy of Goku 1 is shit compared to the rest but it still was a decent play.

smh

LoG was deeply flawed in a lot of respects. The art was also pretty atrocious.

That said... I don't think they were the worst GBA games I ever played. They just would have been massive failures without the Dragonball franchise to carry them.

Lol dude I don't care we not the same people I don't care about getting all deep in game design and all that shit. Was a good game to play through and was pretty fun for what it was. I don't play games to look for flaws like most of the ppl here on BYOND. I notice them but damn everything cant be perfect.

I couldn't beat log with out cheat codes... Fighting snakes in a forest was... So much fun.

A little Pokemon? Explains the bad taste.

Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow.

Summon Night: Swordcraft Story.

Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.

Zelda: Minish Cap.

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror.

Wario Land 4.

Metroid: Zero Mission.

Golden Sun.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

Metroid Fusion.

Advance Wars.

All great games. GBA was a terrible era for game art, but did manage to pump out a few rare gems.
