Submitting my first idea for a game

[Jack Al Sato]

Hello everyone, I'm a newbie here. I've subscribed to this forum yesterday, as I noticed a few days ago that it is possible to propose ideas for new games. I'm preparing one for the next game that is going to be realised by Serega, it would star Lara Croft from Tomb Raider games. Since I've also read from the rules that permission has to be requested for already used characters, I'm now asking if I can proceed with submission of my own idea, once I've completed it. Thanks for help.

P.S.: Even if this character has already appeared in a few past games, her appearance would be a bit different for my game idea.

Actually, you don't really need any permission from anyone here to use Lara Croft or any other famous characters as they don't belong to anyone here. That rule only really applies to original characters, meaning characters created by either the artists or the members of this site. Like Officer Juggs from Serrated's OJ series or Diamond Milf or from my Super Whore Family series.

Though with famous characters you may want to alter their name to prevent copyright issues that could see MnF getting sued. For example, MnF have made an Overwatch game featuring Widowmaker, and they changed their names to Overcrotch and Bonermaker. So, just to be safe, give Lara a parody name and you'll be fine. That's what I did for the Lara Croft parody I've written.

I see, I'll change her name then, before posting my idea. Thanks again.

One more question: in case that it is now scrapped, can I submit again my idea for one of the next game drawn by other authors?

[Kelumir]

Yes, you can submit an idea as many times as you want. Either until it wins or you give up on it.

Ok!

I'm sorry, but I still have some questions I'd like to ask, especially concerning my concept, then hopefully there won't be others until completing and finally submitting it:
1) Is a Human-like Minotaur (a muscled man with bull horns) character permitted?
2) May characters' faces resemble those of celebs and pornstars, or even look exactly like them?
3) May I post links to porn scenes (either videos and pictures) as reference for in-game Sex Positions?
4) How many interactive buttons for Actions/Sex Positions can be featured in a single scene and overall?
5) How much time does it take usually between one submission request and the next one, with the latter being hold from another author?
6) Is there a limit for the number of alphanumeric characters that can be typed in for any submission? Are smileys allowed?
7) For any future idea, can a script with poor plot be possibly accepted?
Thank you in advance.

1) Is a Human-like Minotaur (a muscled man with bull horns) character permitted?

Yes, but the character they're fucking also has to be non-human. For example, in one of the Magic Book games, one of the guys turns himself into a Minotaur and his teacher into a literal Cow-girl.

2) May characters' faces resemble those of celebs and pornstars, or even look exactly like them?

I don't see why not.

3) May I post links to porn scenes (either videos and pictures) as reference for in-game Sex Positions?

Yes.

4) How many interactive buttons for Actions/Sex Positions can be featured in a single scene and overall?

I'm not really sure, I never bothered to count.

5) How much time does it take usually between one submission request and the next one, with the latter being hold from another author?

If your idea wins, before you can submit again you have to wait till it's made or at least 3 months have passed since it was added to the production list.

6) Is there a limit for the number of alphanumeric characters that can be typed in for any submission? Are smileys allowed?

I'm not sure. What are you using them for?

7) For any future idea, can a script with poor plot be possibly accepted?

Others already have been.

1) What about a human-like god like Mars or a legendary ancient warrior like Achilles fucking with Lara Croft (I'm not revealing her new name yet )? And humans with animal-like nicknames (some warrior also known as "The Tiger", for example)?
3) No limit also for links to porn scenes, positions and similar stuff?
5) And if there's no winning for me now, how much time before giving a script to the next author?
8) If my idea loses many times (for example, 3 or more times), may I post it in the forum as a new topic for discussion? Does it improve its chances of winning for a future submission request?
9) Today I've started with writing dialogues, it shouldn't take more than the time still remaining right now. But if I'm not capable to complete them before deadline, am I still allowed to propose my concept anyway? If so, shall I have to put writings where needed (like "..." and "Incomplete/Missing Dialogue") or leave some indications for easier completion?

An ancient warrior like Achilles and humans with animal-like nicknames are fine as they're actually human. And human-like gods should also be fine since they don't have any non-human features.

5) And if there's no winning for me now, how much time before giving a script to the next author?

If you don't have an idea in production you can submit whenever you want.

8) If my idea loses many times (for example, 3 or more times), may I post it in the forum as a new topic for discussion? Does it improve its chances of winning for a future submission request?

Possibly. If it does keep losing you may want to consider making little adjustments here and there. For example, maybe changing the position for one of the sex scenes.

9) Today I've started with writing dialogues, it shouldn't take more than the time still remaining right now. But if I'm not capable to complete them before deadline, am I still allowed to propose my concept anyway?

Well the artists do prefer that the idea have all of the dialogue completed as it makes their job a little easier. Though if you do get strapped for time and aren't able to fully finish it, I suppose you could include a note saying that you'll email them the missing dialogue if your idea wins.
