Regis, I'm not suggesting they develope a whole new game concept, nor infringe on any copyrighted material. The WWII version is simply an addition to bluemax. It's a homespun modification with, as far as I see on the information, no copyrights. But it wouldn't be difficult, I bet, to get the needed permission. Most of the movement allowed in the game is straight from Bluemax. There are a couple moves that are not, but these are few. Everything else, except for the shooting is exactly like Bluemax. The shooting has a few different modifiers. I am not a programmer, but I'd say probably 90% of the code needed to play it is already developed, it would be the last 10% or so that would take some time. Further, in no way am I expecting them to act on my request. I simply wanted to throw it out as a possibility for a future endeavor.
If you are interested in a board game version, talk to a guy out here called capt couv. He and his friends have a nice ww2 gaming system they are using now. I know for a fact they have played several games and are using the 1/144 scale planes. I think they have created the charts as well.
So far as borrowed game design, no one has the hexagon copyrighted, and most games have borrowed something from a previous venture. |
