Just my two cents, sense I review simular submissions...

Why not take known public domain charcaters, and make them your own.

The problem with orginal IP's is that no one has heard of them. So you have an up hill battle in developing an audience.

So

Games like

"Some one is missing at the old lady that lives in the shoe house"

"Jack and Jill Murder Rampage"

"The Gay Three Little Pigs"

"Little Red Riding Hoods Revenge"

You get the idea....

It seems to have worked well for American McGee and Disney...

You get to own your redone public domain IP. Plus use the name recognition it provides to a gaming audience..

Oh well my silly two cents worth...
