Hi

I noticed that AGD (Remakes of KQ1,2 & QFG2) got permission for remaking these games from Sierra.  Is it thus correct to assume that if one want sto create a remake of a game/movie or use materials/names/ideas etc. from already existing games/movies/books that it will be illegal?!

If so, how do one go about getting permission to use ideas/materials/names/etc.  from these companies, e.g. Sierra?

Kind Regards!

Hi I am starting a new game in which I combine Police Quest 1 VGA, Police Quest II, and Police Quest III.  I want to do the whole story in one game. 

I am using SV version 1 to export all sprites from Police Quest I and III.  I want to use these Sprites for the whole game.  A lot of the graphics for Police Quest II will have to be redrawn.  I am able to use a lot of sprites, from PQ3 specifically, for the PQ2 bit, but most areas and characters will have to redrawn, e.g. Keith, some instances of Mary, Jessie Bains, Cotton Cove, Warehouse District, Sewers, etc.

I am quite new to AGS, but I am starting to get the hang of it.  I am not a very good artist.  I am able to edit a lot of sprites like I will show in my Pictures, but I am still struggling a lot with creating my own characters, especially to get them to look like the Characters in PQ3.

In this game I combine all three Police Departments into One, but I am going to leave the Jail in a different location, for sake of the story (Bains' Escape).  First Floor = Parking, Evidence Counter, Dooley's Office, PD Briefing Room, PD Locker Room (with Shower).  Second Floor = Narcotics (PQ1). Third Floor = Homicide Locker Rooms.  Fouth Floor = Homicide Offices, Homicide Briefing Room, Phychiatrist Office (PQ3).  Fifth Floor = Shooting Range (PQ2, Must be Redrawn from Scratch to look like PQ3 Graphics).  Sixth Floor = Radio Room (PQ3).

The rest of the game will basically be a 1to1 remake of all 3 games.  If I get more help we might be able to add a few things like e.g. Bank Robbery, few more Traffic Stops, Hostage Rescue, etc.
