Hello everyone, im new here.

Recently I’ve been searching and not found any current graphic production related to games with powerful graphics related literally to Freddy Krueger universe. What led to my interest in producing a game featuring the universe of the character. i want to make a game based in these universe and i want to use informations about origin of character, history, characters that were part of his life, etc. the idea is not for commercial use , just personal, for my portfolio.

i’m trying to contact a warner bross but they dont answer my e-mail. :frowning:
Recently i saw several events about the Nintendo notifying who was remaking their games.
i really want to sharing the game, but i dont know the process about it…
If i cant distribute free the game to other people play, i can make a Gameplay and post the video on Youtube or my webpage just to show what i can do?

Without permission if you release anything (even if it’s free) then they can send you a cease and desist notice. Technically even videos and images fall under that, though it’s highly unlikely that they would do anything about that.
Getting permission is an issue, a big studio isn’t going to be easy to deal with, they’re not likely to just be like “OK go for it”
Also, since they’re working on a new film they might be more likely to have an issue with you developing a game–but what’s more important firstly is what your capability is, whether you can actually make the game and if you’re dedicated enough in the first place.
