lordsteve...thanks for the kind words...
However, Im not even sure at this point that the game is worth continuing work on, as I wrote Don Bluth LTD to get their take on my fan-game, and heres what they had to say...
"Kevin,
I have forwarded your email to all parties in the partnership.
Since then, there has been much discussion about your idea and the non-profit aspect
of the project. Also, they are all very aware of your affinity to this game, its characters
and they love the idea that you are such a big fan of Space Ace.
The fact that you’ve taken the time to put together such a project is a huge undertaking
for anyone. However, they have all agreed that I pass on their decision
to ask you not to pursue this endeavor.
They are concerned with the copyrights, the look of the characters and that,
even though it is being done as a tribute to the original game, in the long run it could
create problems with other, less-capable artists that may approach us for permission to
use our characters for non-profit purposes.
Everyone asked me to thank you for your enthusiasm and your dedication to trying to
make this happen, and that they wish that they could have granted you permission to
continue. Don wanted me to encourage you to keep up the good work and get
some of your original ideas up and working. Good luck with your art.
Thank you for writing to us.
Kindest regards,
Gary Goldman
Bluth Group Ltd."
Oh well, huh?
I had hoped that, like George Lucas does regarding SW fan films, the Don Bluth people would think this project of mine sounded flattering, and that they would, perhaps, take an interest in seeing it all completed from the stance that it is a compliment (or 'thank you!') to them. Instead, they wish that the game not be made at all.
Too bad, as all I have in mind is doing something fun for them, myself and other SPACE ACE fans...
Kevin
