OC Pony Adventure Game Koor Tue, Feb 3rd, 2015 21:44 No. 133581

TIME WELL WASTED STUDIOS

I'm an independent indie game developer and I've always loved MLP. Though I always thought a game with the mane 6 ponies and friends would be a little too cliche and cheesy. So I've been thinking of a game that'd have a collection of the worlds best known OC ponies and making a 2D sidescroller adventure game. I'm not sure if I should keep the original art style of MLP or make it a sprite based game which makes it all pixelated. Anypony have any suggestions, comments, OC pony recommendations, feedback?

I can't even express how incredibly legally complicated things could get trying to include dozens of famous characters owned by individuals online who are in turn based loosely upon a trademarked and copyrighted property owned by a company.

Not everypony is comfortable letting other people do whatever they want with their own personal creations, 'official' or otherwise, whether profit is involved or not.

Well then that's not very fair, but hey oh well. I mean of course Id contact all creators of the OC ponies and ask them if they wan't their pony to be in the game. And well if most don't, then the game idea will be trashed. If not, the game will continue with full rights and everything given to the creators of the OC ponies.

Did anybody suggest The Master as an OC? He'd be a really nice enemy. And, if he was a party member, he could play the Gallopfreyian Battle Drums to up his teams offensive abilities.
