Fix it Felix Jr. (Any News?)
GibsonRiddler:
Sequel has already been green lit. Disney is going to protect their ip. It's become another cash cow for them.

It makes more sense that he wouldn't share it if the person who owned the machine the copy was made from had signed a NDA.
Wookies don't live on Endor. It just doesn't make sense.

Kind of what i was thinking.
He has been asked point blank. (Are you releasing it?)
And he seems to avoid the question everytime.

If I was taking on this project I wouldn't charge and I certainly wouldn't broadcast it a bunch if I was giving it away. More likely I would get someone else to host / distribute it for me who was less concerned about the legal implications. A cool project could pretty easily turn into a nightmare when the cease and desist order comes in the mail.

I'm not selling the game or giving it away, because (as you are saying) Disney would be all over that! This is a contribution to the functioning Fix It Felix replica i'm building. There are people contributing money for my time and materials, but also people helping me out with the artwork for the cabinet and music and sound effects.
People that contribute to the build can request features in the game and they receive regular updates on my progress.

You're the man Sjaak. I was just referencing the other guy who everyone is bugging about not releasing his stuff. The minute he releases a full on game and is buddied up with the guy releasing full on copies of the artwork there might be some problems. Better to tread lightly. You're in the same position where this project is simply that, a personal project. I'm loving the progress so far and wanting to contribute somehow without doing the wrong thing.
