@mr. schwarz: you know I only use A6 commercial,lol. i dont have mirrors.

@spike...wow, picard facepalm, harsh,lol.

@painkiller, good luck!

at least wait for the new movie before you start anything

1 - There are a lot of renders, webs with predator stuff and 3D models on the internet and there isn't any problem.

2 - You aren't right. The Model with only the arms (as it is a FPS) works perfectly on GS. I got 160 frames when rendering the arms and 170 fps I get rendering the old copyrighted test models, so, there isn't any problem.

3 - The Jungle will only be an introduction, all the rest of the game action will be into the militar base. So the jungle doesn't have to be very big, a small jungle with simple tall trees will be correct.

4 and 5 - This isn't the first game I've developed. I've created a Space Shuttle Simulator and a Car Simulator Game, apart of other testing projects since 2007, so i'm not newbie, I'm only newbie in FPS coding, but it doesn't seems to me very difficult.
I know the project developing will be long, but I'm really interested in the Project. For example, for the Car simulator I'm trying to model all my city, a much bigger Project than this, and I'm developing it for three years. So i know how long can be a project.



thanks Blink



I'm really interested in the new movie, I hope it will be great with Adrien Brody between the actors.

1) Just because others use such material, it doesn't mean it is not illegal to use it (Yep, i also think its copyrighted)

2) 170 Fps with one model??? You know how slow that is(for one model)?

1 - Maybe it's copyrighted, I don't know, probably yes. But there are a lot of fan movies of predator running worldwide and known by millions of people and they haven't any problem. I think they permit fans creations between some limits. Anyway, if I receive a warning of the copyright owners, I will cancel the project inmediately.

2 - 170 are the frames that I got with the models that i used for testing, in-game i get about 60 frames. And with the new models i get 160 frames, so I predict that in-game it will run about 50 frames. I have to tell you that the Pc that i'm using is very old, a 2.0 Ghz with 1gb of ram and Geforce 4, in newer pcs the frame rate will be better.

1) yes it is copyrighted, 100%. BUT you never told us if you plan to make your game commercial...
because if not its a freeware game, and thus you are allowed to use anything from predator franchise.

Like me, im making a Survival Horror game ala Resident Evil, so if i not go commercial i could call my game, i.e. "Resident Evil: The Lost Chapter" or anything. But i do not so, because i dont know yet if i ever wanna sell it or not.

But please anyone correct me if im wrong.

I think if it is a personnal project no matter with copyright.
And i doubt a lot the game to go such quality as the last Predator game on PC !

Why not making original characters, space ships, planet based on hunting with new weapons, powers instead of copying the AAA game ? And there are older predator games, i doubt you reach such
textures, level design ,sound, music and models quality !

Well no matter for a personnal project just go on and make it

The game will be free, that's why I put the example of the free fan movies that haven't problems.

I only do it for fun, it doesn't matter if the game don't reach the quality of the new game.

Well,
Even if you release it for free, its still copyrighted.
But they just wont care(like other companies).

Look around for anything that might look LIKE wow (fancomics etc).
THey all got letters o.O

yes, that's what i was trying to say, it's like the fan videos of star wars with people with lightsabers, lucasfilms allow it.
