Contest + News IRIS

[IM back!]

ill see what i can make.

would somebody consider making halo using this engine, obviously we would have to make custom textures from scratch. it would be fantastic if somebody did.

what do people think?

Even from scratch you would still be violating Intellectual property. In fact the project PSdemon received a C & D letter for consisted of PD models maps. It's better to come up with something original anyway.

How does one create IRIS maps?

[DPyro]

Their Quake 3 maps, using their map editor.

I thought Iris was dead there hasnt be an news on in a long ass time. I hope this contest carries on and i hope ti see an update of iris and not just new models I think there are enough as is. So sum one please pick this project up and make this better. If it was still being workd on and production hadn't stopped this could have been the best homebrew games ever. Hope someone has the balls to start a new update.

by your description, most of the homebrew games and themes featured on this site violate copyright laws. please explain.

so it says "no previously reliced material", can we make an update to our maps then realice it?

You are technically free to make a clone or fan game so long as no ripped content goes into a game BUT the original authors (Bungie in this case) can stop it at any time they wish. A lot of the time companies are pretty friendly when it comes to fan games (see HaloUT and the 2D halo game which actually received some praise by bungie) but if they feel threatened they can cut the project down any time and claim they are violating Intellectual Property. In this case they felt threatened by the fact that a fan game was to appear on an rival console... or at least thats what it seems to be.
