Just make your own game. Don't set your eyes so high on a venture that leads... nowhere.

Apart from what everyone else has said, you'll almost certainly be turned down if you try to get the rights to develop a megaman game; the series is in active development ("Critical Reception: Capcom's Mega Man 9", "'Mega Man Online' Part Of Capcom's New Strategic Online Focus", "Critical Reception: Capcom's Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X") and is one of Capcom's most valuable titles.

I'd suggest working towards an original game instead, perhaps based around a similar theme or gameplay style if you wish.

Just rip-off their game-play and call the main character Hectoman (one ten-thousandth of a Megaman, sure, but that's still cool enough, right?). Oh and don't steal their art too. Boom. You just side-stepped the local anti-infringement policy.



Then when Hectoman gets really super popular all like one in 7 people in the world playing it, ring up Mr Capcom and be liek that this new super-popular game is liek totaly ripped off from Megaman Legends and get them to be all they should cash-in on the popularity by making a new band new Megaman Legends.

Call it Gigaman... never market your product as worse than an existing product.

I'd probably buy a breakfast cereal called "Other Cereals May Taste Better, But This Stuff Is Still Edible: Crunchy Wheats".

P.S. Steal my idea, I hurt you. Just a warning.

Just to clarify, when you say "hurt" do you mean physically? If so, you have a long flight ahead of you to get to NZ.

Financially? You will ruin me for stealing the idea to use someone elses IP?

Or perhaps you mean that you will eviscerate me in prose, with a series of witty remarks each more cutting than the last, until my dignity lies in shreds and my self-confidence in ruins?

It's just too tempting to resist. I am hereby stealing your idea*, let the hurting commence.

* As soon as I can penetrate that dense wall of text and determine what exactly your idea is.

Yoink. Now I stoled it from you! Hahahahaha

I suppose you're all pretty much right. I'm sure it'd never work anyways. At that matter, When I said I'll "hurt" you, I was just joking around, hopefully no harm done. I am brewing up a new idea for a fresh game but it's pretty much useless now since I have no skill in the game designing business. Oh well, I'll get around to concept art and stuff later. Hopefully I pick up from some of you around here. The reason that I'm not so active right now is I have no internet at home for awhile 'till I move. No matter. Thanks for sharing. For now I'll request a Moderator to lock/close this topic. If you want to know what my current idea is, I suppose you can email me and I'll discuss it. ValorBlades@gmail.com Thanks again for getting my head out of the clouds. Bye for now, be back soon.
