StarWarsRL
Kornel Kisielewicz:
Yeah, the original Jedi Knight series, and X-Wing and TIE Fighters were the best!
* Kornel Kisielewicz was a big SW fan for a loooong time.
BTW, I don't consider those three new high-budget fan films as canon :P.
As for a SW roguelike, yeah I did consider it, but I'm sure that LA would crack up on it before it became even remotely popular. My idea however was a Jedi Academy kind of roguelike -- where you start as a Padawan and increase in skill and afterwards go out on missions throughout the galaxy. Yeah, a Jedi RL would be MUCH fun :).
I did even a unfinished single-player mud in this setting, but it never got polished...

Maybe cover it with non-SW name ? I doubt anyone would give it out. Hard to tell if LA people search through roguelikes. Maybe change names, like st0rmtr00pers, J3di Knights etc., or even stormtropers, Jedii Knights.. I don't know how the law speaks on these things though.
Kornel Kisielewicz:
That would destroy the feel IMHO. I'd rather publish it under an alias and put it on a russian server :P

Rola:
Bah! Only when I promised myself not to waste time on Internet forums I find topic like this... ;)
What can I say... I could basically sign myself under Daqin's posts - and I rarely meet a SW fan with similar views on the subject... I, too, miss times when X-Wing, Dark Forces and TIE Fighter rocked the world. I, too, crave for a full blown strategy game set in this universe or a fine RPG (KOTOR was OK, but it's not a real SW to me - for SW you need Empire, Rebellion, Vader, X-Wings, Stormtroopers and so on...).
I even discussed gaming subject on some SW forums, but these are overrun with geeks who have grown into trolls (because Internet gives them false feeling of anonymity and security). I was hoping to rally some people, but I only wasted my time.
If there are few people who could pull this off one of them has to be Kornel. This guy can see his things done (we've got like 4? playable games) and they turn out highly playable as well.
But I'm also worried about LFL/LEC response ("C&D letter", ya know). Yet I hope this could be somehow classified as "fan-made stuff", and especially recently they've started encouraging making fan-content.
I do have several concepts and a general vision of how such game could be done - we could also seek help at other SW-related forums (some of which I used to frequent).
But I'd need Kornel's response - I'm not gonna start daydreaming and typing all of this if it serves no purpose...
