It seems you clearly haven't read my first post and understood the idea of the project.
I read the main topic of the post ages ago and understood it, however it seems that you clearly did not read the post that I placed carefully and not understood to how I responded. Which
once again, what you are aiming at is no different than a fan-made project which has holes in it, I do not have to hold your hand to explain exactly what your topic persists when I provided the details to the conclusion.
Do I think it's a great idea? absolutely. DOA doesn't have one.
Your topic suggests for an animation. Are you asking for an
official one? or as a fan-made one just for the community?
or maybe because of how you wrote it entirely, who knows.
But then you mentioned Mortal Kombat, license, mentioned about giving it a try, and then stating that you are talking to KT about it, so it would interpret that you want an
official work with a retelling/new/filling in the gaps that they themselves (TN) did not do or poorly did it, which at the moment is just free lance work on your part. The difference between those other animations from other games is that they have a company back up to do it and official placements and confirmation. Do you now understand?
Looking at me like "it's cool but you'll never make it" is not a pro-active att-
Stop right there. I clearly provided the notion that I hope you do succeed, otherwise you are further proving my point that you did not carefully read what I provided. There is a difference between doing something out of pure love to do things out there, and tossing yourself out there in the frying pan and expect miracles if things do not click.
if there are only 10 of us following the project, I don't see why they would be interested in it.
Then hopefully it succeeds either way. Might actually make them rethink on where they went from the story and you provided the light to do it as a reference. Maybe, maybe not.
Typically you tell me you've talked to people and they've never heard of it. Don't you think that praising this project would be a better way to make it tangible?
See here's the problem with that, because generally this would be no different than seeking recognition in every way possible no matter the circumstances as long as it benefits with upmost praise. This is literally in the same boat as the people who export models, try to create a story behind it (with models that were hand done by TN), and then charge people for it/Patreon tactics. The difference is that you are doing it purely out of your own artwork which is good and you should be commended for it. But the issue is the corporate behind it no matter how much fans you acquire. It's the work of business which goes back to square one, which to make them appreciate your work,
"they" have to appreciate
their own work.
I praise the idea already, however I do not praise the corporate (KT/TN) behind it because there is a chance that it just ends up being just that, fan-made. Because that's essentially what it is currently via open freelance work that isn't confirmed by them themselves. Getting a confirmation (like the other games) would be a sure way and a guaranteed that this is the real deal or it's literally back at square one. Otherwise it would be praising something that only accumulated tons of retweets and likes that's "just there" no matter how many supporters backed it up. Do you understand? people could literally tell Manny to just sign in and retweet in one of the DOA twitter pages and call it a day, but that's far too simplistic.
The good thing about it is that you are doing it for the community that KT nor TN would even have the time in the world to do. If we could get that confirmation, that would be even better. Yes, you need people for it, but to get people to actually make them listen already dictates who they are so we'll leave that there.
And it's only once this step is over that a kick starter will be possible, that a material version will be possible, that I could convince actors to work with me, that I could give life to the project.
I understand that this work isn't free because why would it be right? but yeah the thought concept is basically "put money in the project even if KT doesn't want to label it as one of the official animations" at this present time. Which is basically tossing rocks at a pond. I will say that it does give people something they can appreciate on how much the company is missing out, +10 points for you. Again, I support your idea but let's not jump the gun here when it comes to logic. Even if it comes to that conclusion, people and me will still appreciate the idea, so don't get it twisted. Keep it up, show them how to make a story in animated format.
