  You might want to be real real careful with doing a game based on characters from the Warhammer series.  Fan games can and have been shut down for copyright infringement, even if it is 'just for fun', freeware, or non-commercial. I'd consider doing a game loosely based on similar characters, but make sure that all names and blatantly obvious references to 40k are removed.  Nothing sucks more than having someone pull the rug out from under your feet after putting a ton of work into a game.   ;  It's highly advisable to get Games Workshop's permission anyway, because they tend to be pretty aggressive in denying fan projects. In this instance, however, I believe it's mandatory to have permission to use IP which is not your own if you're going to post in the Help Wanted forum.   ;  Despite the fact that you may have plans to sell this game right back to the owners of the IP, you're still in violation of IP Copyright laws and the rules of this forum.More importantly, why would they buy a game illegally using their IP when they not only didn't authorize it but they didn't specifically sanction it?I hate to be the one to give the reality check but you need to do a lot more research into how intelectual property copyright works and how business in general works. No company would ever buy a prototype to a game that they didn't authorize and are far more likely to send a cease and desist or even press legal charges.Finally, you didn't follow the mandatory posting template. The bolding is not optional.[Edited by - leeor_net on May 8, 2009 8:28:20 PM]
