sound nice, actually I would rather use a different non copyrighted name for my games, but everyoen use names like Zelda and Mario so I gues its not a big problem, but maybe it would with Golden sun or Lufia, as they never have been used before in calc games so they would be easy to catch . The new title sound nice though.

Camelot (the makers of Goldensun) sent me an email saying if I did publish this game, I would find myself on the wrong end of a lawsuit.

oh I see, oh well. I think threefingeredguy got the same problem with his Space Station Pheta game (altough they ended up letting him port the game).

Yea..i just can't use any of their trademarks (ie. goldensun, all city names, all character names, all special item names including weapons and armor etc.) so I'll have to come up with a lot of new names.

You're kidding, they actually told you to cease and desist? Maybe they're more worried about IP than Nintendo. I mean how many Nintendo games have been ported to calc? Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Harvest Moon...

hmmm...camelot is threating litegation against non-profit calc games and their last game was how long ago...perhaps they have their priorities mixxed up :urecrazy:
...hmmm, so to piss em off you could make the game nearly identical in every way and just rename everything! Now that would be awsome...can you post your email?

sorry I deleted it
(I know I'm an Idiot)
It was something like:
"Tenniskid493,
We have seen through our periodic searching of the internet, that you plan to make a game for the TI-83+ calculator entitled 'Golden Sun: The Chosen One'. If you were to complete this game and release it for public use, a (some huge fancy word) lawsuit would be brought against you for violating the copyrights Camelot

Wow, I can't believe they are threatened by this... Well, it would be better if you came up with something semi unique...
So far I haven't recieved anything on my Pokemon game...

hmmm...isn't funny how people will be complete asses and then put their name on something like this as if it was a casual "what's up, man"
anyways...perhaps you could email him back...come up with something like
"Dear sir, madam, or unbeknowst beign of indecidable gender
I have complied with the requests so here requested, thank you for your letter. Nothing invigorates me like the threat of legal action, I was so delighted. In fact, now that you have made these threats, I feel like I should rethink my life. Why would I want to try and recreate one of my favorite games and increase its popularity among people at high school and colege level who had never before experienced the game. Besides, it wasn't like I was going to make any profit off of it, and with inferior graphics, lack of music, and other such tone downs, it wasn't going to be able to prevent people from playing your games. Heh, it was more like publicity for you and your game at purely my expense of time. Thank you from saving me from such a stupid mistake."

Amongst all the other activity going on, I managed to throw together a new screenshot using a lot of my new sprites.
Can someone tell me how to make animated screenshots (I know thats pretty basic but I don't know how and I'm sick of these still ones)
