Yugioh the abridged series: The video game

[16my17]

Who thinks there should be an official video game???
Screw the rules, I have GameShark!!!!

By the way....I know about the copyright laws and stuff so you don't need to remind me...

"Quite frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn!" (Gone With the Wind, 1939)

[Ben]

Well we give a damn because frankly I'd rather we weren't sued...

[boman]

how about an unofficial vid-game?

[WeirdoSpiral]

Yeah, that's it, I was thinking of a video game for quite some time now, I'm glad someone made a topic about it.

[Kayube]

Maybe someone could hack the GBA games and make them Abridged-style.

[ZorcAndPals]

what about a flash game?

[Soapbox]

I'm thinking flash, too. It'd be nice not to make any money off of it. You know...there are laws in this country.

[Adam]

Laws?

Using flash would make a lot of sense...but what kind of game would it be? Just a silly dueling game?

[Apollyon]

It could be like Simon Says, but with characters and quotes, or something.

[Soapbox]

Hmm..you know what might be fun? a ROM hack of one of the real games.

(I do realize how ironic that is due to my last post about legality, but, hey, no one's making any money off it.)

[MysteryT]

Yeah, i was thinking about that too, as long as you provided just a rom patch and not an actual rom it wouldn't be illegal no?

[MysteryT]

My suggestion would be: Yu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist Soul for Game Boy Advance. As that came out around the same time as Season 1 in the US and could be easily turned into a spoof game.

[Thunderstruck560]

i just dont see what a flash game of tas would consist of.

[WeirdoSpiral]

I was thinking a RPG of some sort, but with a twist.

[Soapbox]

Is that how it works? Hey, even if LK dosnt 'support' it, ti could be a fan-made game.

[Kayube]

Except that that doesn't have any story or anything. All that would be possible would be to change the things people say when you challenge, win, and lose to them. It would be easy, but not particularly interesting.

[Fahji]

It's funny you guys brought this up, I'm already trying to make a little Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged flash game.
I'm around 33% done...ish.
I don't know how I'll reach LittleKuriboh or Kroze or Ben, their inboxes are probably so flooded.
They might not even take me seriously ;_;

[Emeralddragon]

well ya could post up the game so far and send them a link or post it here and that way they can see youre serious.

[ZorcAndPals]

I agree, post it as it's in development so you can get feedback/suggestions

[Fahji]

ok, then! That sounds like a good idea.
I'll try to make something presentable in the next few days, flyin' by the seat of my pants.

If this game ever gets popular I'll have plenty of stories to tell...

[Fahji]

OH! I forgot about this for a while, but..
If anyone can think of some humorous faux yu-gi-oh cards for me to make...
It's a little hard to think of two forty card decks (for the hero and the enemy, that is)

[ZorcAndPals]

I can email you a huge list of abridged cards, but I need an address (pm me)

[Ashi]

wanna know how to do it.

1) find gba roms
2) edit them
3) its not against the law

considering you can play ragnarok for free or most video games with out buying them and just play them on the computer I don't see anything wrong........

or some one with one of those flash player things could make one.......
or some one that can program or something like that.

[Fahji]

over here... flash game... programming....
80% done!

[Ashi]

okay..... is it something you can dl or just play online

[SugarCoatedNightmare]

O w O

Ohhh 80% done?

*Is waiting patiently*

[TBmonkey]

A game sounds like a cool idea!

I will be waiting for this 80% one to get it's other 20%!

[Fahji]

I know this might not be the right place to be ranting, but I'm having a pretty big crisis over this game right now.

I talked to Kroze and CrazyHedgehog today on the IRC, and they both put a big negative on releasing the game on the Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged official website. They said it would be an immense copyright infringement to the francise, regardless of being non-profit. This was a huge disappointment.

A part of me said to myself 'You know, if it was really important that the game go up on the official website, you should have cleared this before you even started making it.'

But then the other part of me said 'Well I thought they would be cool with it and I didn't think there was going to be a serious problem! I mean, how much infringement could it be compared to what's already on the website?
(sarcasm) Altered anime footage isn't bad, but taking images from a videogame? Satan will be very angry!'

Actually they don't even know about how the game uses stills from a Yugioh GBA game. They weren't even curious about it :(

CrazyHedgehog advised to put the game on Newgrounds. I'm really nervous, because I don't have a Newgrounds account-- I'm afraid of my beloved creation being deleted from getting low rating values. I'd be running with the big dogs, I'm so filled with doubt when I compare myself to what others have made.

I mean, the game's not crappy but it's definitely rough around the edges. I really want it to look and be awesome, but my personal deadline is before school starts up again.

Right now, the only thing consoling me is that LittleKuriboh said it was ok to make a game with his ideas.
He sure is a swell guy. At least he didn't reject me! (*crying*)

Well, this game will be an even bigger waste of time if I never finish it. I guess I better go do that now.

[Ashi]

if you have most of this fourm joining your game and rateing it it should be fine. I see shit on there everyday. just put it up. I don't think they will delete it.

[Gonzogong]

I think someone should make the game first keep it a secret and decide what to do with it from there.
