Have you contacted Konami yet? I'm kind of curious to know what they said.

not yet, i'll wait until after the KS fails.

just a heads up, i've been contacted by Konami Europe last week for a discussion. i was going to wait until we had that discussion before posting anything here, but there's been some delays. discussion is currently scheduled for friday, so we'll see by then if i get a C&D or am allowed to continue on the project.

Konami of Europe is probably contacting Konami HQ in Japan about this proposal of yours. Even if the Europe branch likes the idea the Japanese branch is the one who makes the final decision. But I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor

I'd say more than anything it's a good sign. At the very least, they might let you continue working on it even if the deal doesn't happen. Usually companies just slap a C&D down immediately without any heads-up.

If you've been contacted by them without you trying contact first, that is even a greater good sign. I hope all will end well.

It was Konami UK, and it was bad news, got a C&D. from what i understood, i am allowed to keep the videos and game up for download for now, but not allowed to do any more public development.
there's a small glimmer of Hope, Jay from Konami UK will talk with Konami Japan to see if it's possible for me to get a license.

I did have a feeling that was going to be the case. But at least the C&D isn't as extensive as it could have been.

Maybe the konami people was contacted about your kickstarter, so it's why you got a C&D warning.
Usually fangames gets gold, since it not have croudfunding envolved.

He didn't received a C&D yet.

no i definitely did get a C&D. a mild one, since i am allowed to keep the project up, but definitely a C&D.
if i do any updates to it, i'll have to take it down.

[eryson]

maybe he acidentally skipped the Reply #112 , but Yeah, it's what i thought :/
So, the continuation this project will depends of what "Jay from Konami UK" will respond to you about reversing that situation?
But if you keep updating the game as a personal project without kickstarter etc etc, can you have the chance of the guys allow you to continue?

So if it was never put up on KS or you take it down now, what happens then?
