Heh, I finally learned what you guys are talking about!

A demo woul dbe a good idea, get another team of modlers, use FreeSpace 2 on it, and you should finish a few months before the real thing is released

***DaBrain*** · 12-11-2005

Well, we thought about a demo, but we're not sure yet. Anyway, it would take a long time until we're ready to release something...

It's more about a massive media release to get some more people into the team. Right now the mod is pretty much underrated in the FS2 community.

Maybe some people saw the potential when we released the first trailer with the tossed landscape, but since then we didn't release anything really stunning anymore.

If you know a modeller or a 2d artist, you should ask them to visit this site.

Of the recent screenshots I have seen, they are shear awesomeness! Kudos to you.

Hi, I've been lurking for a bit...

First, it seems to me at least, that you are violating Nintendo's intelectual property. I woudn't want you guys to be sued. What you do is too kewl.

On the otherhand, if you can legally use the Nintendo characters... have you considered approching Nintendo about porting the game to the Nintendo Revolution? I'd love to try playing that free-range combat with the freehand controller!

**Axem** · 12-21-2005

Technically, anyone using the Star Fox characters in any unauthorized way is violating their intellectual property, that would cover fan art and fan fic stuff too.

We're not claiming this stuff is ours, and we acknowledge that the characters we use are someone else's property (though I have to put up a notice saying that somewhere

). We hope that Nintendo doesn't mind what we are doing, we're not trying to compete with them.

As for the Rev thing, we'll... I don't think it'll happen. I think they'd do a better job than us (but just by a bit

). We're just like 10 guys doing this in our free time, while they have a ton more people and do it all day.

***DaBrain*** · 12-21-2005

It's hard to create a tribute for a game series if you create a totally unrelated game isn't it?

Of course we've discussed this issue several times. I think Nintendo probably has the right to tell us to put the site down and stop developing it.
But why should they?

The FS2 community is small. The FS2 players aren't exactly Nintendos target group. Most of them probably don't even know Starfox. They will not buy less Starfox games because of the mod, cause they probably won't buy one anyway. At the best rate, we might even get some of them interested in the franchise.

To be honest I fear they're not even thinking about this, cause they probably don't care, or don't even now our project.

I don't think we'll ever be possible to port the game to a console. Appart from the needed code changes (we do not have a coder...), we'd have to alter the whole content.

And to be realistic, we couldn't release it anyway. How should be contribute it. The only possible way would be to ask Nintendo to include it on a demo disc, or something like that.

A commercial contribution is prohibited by the license of the FS2 open source code.

You shouldn't worry too much about this matter.

**AqueousShadow** · 12-21-2005

Yea, none of this really matters anyway. The real focus here is FSO, and the capabilities of the SCP. Only with those would we have the ability to modify it as we have. Star Fox is just the universe we're using, just as much as anyone else MODs for other science fiction or fantasy games or whatever.

It's a tribute. It's a MOD. It's not commercial. And I highly doubt we'll ever have anything to do with Nintendo beyond a C&D letter.

***DaBrain*** · 12-22-2005

Maybe Volition could sue us. If they consider this project as ad for Starfox, they probably could try it.

But we're not related to Nintendo in any way, so I'm not sure about that.

**takashi** · 12-16-2006

do not give them ideas...

**Star Yoshi** · 12-16-2006

sorry, had a quick question.

Is this going to be voice acted in different languages? (ex. German + English...?)

If so, that'd be great, cause I don't think I can learn German :/

**Atalhlla** · 12-16-2006

It's going to be voice acted in English. Unless DaB wants to do all the voices. Which would be rather entertaining.

**Psygonis** · 12-16-2006

Well, maybe when the game will be finished, some of us might translate the game in other languages and perform voice acting but it's not sure...

**takashi** · 12-17-2006

there are always subtitles.....

anywhoz:
i am willing to do moddling if any of you could send me a 3d program using zshare or something.

(seriously, i have 10 ships with the same style as you guys and wann see 'em in 3d)

**Atalhlla** · 12-17-2006

Eeh, no warez here. Have you tried Blender, though?

http://www.blender3d.org/

It takes a bit of wrapping your mind around.

There's also Truespace 3, though I think the general concensus is that it's designed by a monkey on space crack. Oh, and I don't have the URL off hand.

***karajorma*** · 12-17-2006

Links to a whole bunch of modeling programs is available in the tools section of my FAQ.

**takashi** · 01-19-2007

system specs yet?

**Star Dragon** · 03-18-2007

(Late reply to this Takashi gem...)

Actually when I see the name Game Warden, images of Ranger Smith Kicking Yogi's ass for stealing pick nick baskets comes to my mind...

***DaBrain*** · 03-18-2007

Woah! I completely missed that posting.

Takashi... if you don't stop posting things like that, you'll end up getting banned for a bit more than three days...

**Hardsoftleandro** · 04-21-2007

Someone here know when will be coming this game, or the pre-view date?

Obs.: Sorry for my english.

**Star Fox Fan** · 04-21-2007

well, so far there's no definite release date given except "when it's done" as has been said a few times in older topics. We've also been given no definite release date for the preview version set to replace the cancelled demo, aside from the answer above...

and welcome to the forum by the way
