liscensing

I figured one day I'd have enough money to buy Jazz from epic, it seems they only liscense to experienced professionals. Problem is, I have no guaruntee that my projects are going to make money or not, though my hopes are that Eclipse Galleries will be a winner... I'm not an experienced professional. And when I think about it, it would be better off just to make a Jazz clone. Jazz himself, is a clone of Sonic the Hedgehog... And again, I have no guaruntee that it will make money, even though it would be in 3D (making it 2D is suicide). I don't really how all this chatter comes together, but my point is, that when epic believes they can make money off Jazz, then they will make a sequel. Don't purposely annoy the companies for it, because of such action, they will loath Jazz. I don't know the remedy to your desire for a new Jazz game... but I have an idea. Pull together as a community. You all have a desire for a new Jazz game. You all have skills. Programmers, artists, writers, level designers, modelers even. What are you missing? You don't need Epic's Jazz, you can make your own, if you pull together and get organized. Quit asking, it has been too long. Start moving. I don't say we should use jazz at all, but make a similar game. And it will be wonderful, because it will be ours. *sigh* it is a dream. I have the perfect game creation software, but it will cost. http://www.3DGameStudio.com this software has no royalties though. I'm thinking the level designers and programmers can get the standard edition, and someone will have to get the commercial edition to put it all together (for multiplayer mode ) nevermind, I don't think you guys are up to it. I don't know why I brought it up.
