Hi all!

I am a member of the team Mach Cration. I write a post here because we are looking for Mappeurs, Progammers (principally for a multiplayer mod), Texture makers and 3D Animators (for the characters). We are creating a game on the universe of Stargate. I would like to underline that our job is very SERIOUS and we are working for free ! This the link to our website : http://sgtne.mach-creation.com/ . Our game will be a FPS with a multiplayer mod and some patch will be regularly done. In this game you will be able to control a member of the team SG-1 and some vehicules such as a : MALP. What ever your nationality is : WE WANT YOU. For more informations let's visit our website.


A little picture to present our job :

Looks nice.

Does that mean you already have the rights for using the stargate trademark and the logo? If not this could get expensive for you.

@ChrisB: look at their page... they have a good disclaimer (i m not familiar with the community conditions to this sign and the trademark - but it seems better then with "warhammer", for ex. wink

I thought dennis (helghast) and lennart (lennart_hillen) made that level for a contest in 2007?

Anyhow, pretty nice concept already, but the disclaimer doesn't look very convincing of you ask me...

ChrisB warning is dead on: with SGW in production, I'm sure they don't want anyone to confuse their game with yours and since you are using 100% of their copyright, that can be the case.

Re: the disclaimer:

1) You state "Stargate SG-1" is the only trademark. Weeeellll, the stylized "A" and the movie "Stargate" are very likely trademarked so this point is wrong.

2) You state that you are students and working for free with no commercial intent. This is irrelevant for purposes of copyright. If you make a CRAPPY game and put it out there under the Sci-Fi Egyptian moniker of "Stargate", then you tarnish the rep of the real SG people even if you don't charge a dime. And then they can come after you for "damages" related to the loss of sales due to poor public opinion of their copyright due to your game. Not pretty, eh?

3) You use the "Fair Use" clause of copyright law to justify your use of copyrighted sounds and material. Unfortunately, your work is not a pastiche since you are using 100% Stargate copyrighted material. A pastiche would be if you wanted to mash up Star Trek with Star Gate and Star Wars... neither is it a parody or a caricature. You could argue that it is for educational purposes, but then you would have to show that a school is behind your efforts. Hence your game does not fall under the "Fair Use" clause.

4) Finally, I find it a bit hypocritical that you would feel free to use SG's copyrighted material but then in the last two lines forbid others from using YOUR trademarks and copyrights. Doesn't feel good when others use your hard work for their own without your permission does it? Then why do the same to the SG copyright people?

You seem like a motivated, talented set of individuals. Don't waste your time on a project that infringes on someone elses copyright for that is just disrespectful to other artists like yourselves and could get you shut down at any time and all that effort is wasted.

just call it "gate to the stars" then? like "mikel shoemaker" in F1 games that don't have an official license?

I doubt they'd win a court, seeing the objects they use are exact the same designs as those in SG1, I bet all SG's content fall under an artist copyright license.
