Hand-drawn game guides Kickstarter then canceled Legal problems

As it was established to complete and withdraw money, the Kickstarter campaign for physical hardcover versions of Philip Summers's hand-drawn game guides and Dreamprism Press has been canceled. If you missed the initial campaign, basically it was about raising funds to publish guides with, as its name indicates it, hand drawn art for video games as the legend of Zelda, metroid, ninja gaiden, and contra. However, because they are gesturing legal problems with what is supposed to be at least one of the owners of those IP, everything is discarded. Before cancellation, the Kickstarter campaign had collected $ 322,337 in promises.

It is worth noting that Summers and the team apparently have been taken all this incredibly well. The official message of the group admits that there are few resources here, do not possess the rights of Zelda or anything, even though the campaign was extremely clear that these would always be non-authorized. The intention, as the original campaign points out, had always been to fall into legitimate use, but it seems that at least one of Nintendo, Konami or Koei Técmo threw a wrench into things.

Even more important to keep in mind is that we still do not have all the details in order. We decided to end the campaign to be sure. We did not want the money to change hands, then discover that we could not print the guides or something drastic.

Here is the full update of the Kickstarter campaign, just before it was officially canceled:

Hi everyone! Well, they just received their cancellation notice. If it's real. It's done. I made a brief publication on Twitter that I will share here.

Forza 7 Tuning Guide! Corvette C7.R - Forza GT Division It was always a risk.

Tonight I disconnected the hand-drawn games guides in Kickstarter. Yes, exactly for the reason why you think it is. I hoped to be able to solve successfully any legal problem, but unfortunately I could not do it.

Is this done forever? I do not know yet. I will discover it in the coming days.

What I do know is that this last month was amazing. You all joined in ways that I did not think they were possible. It was an incredible trip and no matter what happens, I will always be grateful for it. I always knew that all this was a great risk, but I looked like other similar books addressed this kind of problems and did everything possible to learn from them.

Of course I'm disappointed, but I fully understand why this happened. It's okay. I'm not angry. I mean, the moment is totally terrible and I would have helped if this happened, let's say three weeks ago, but here we are! !

I will not talk more about the subject because I do not want to get the waters, but I hope there is something I can share soon.

Thank you very much for the support! They are the best.

It is worth noting that the digital versions of some of these remain available in Summers online. You can check all our previous video game coverage in general here.

Digerati has launched the stealth action shooter undetected by indieveropper Antonio Frame for Windows (Steam/Epic Games Store/GOG.com). This work is a stealth action shooter based on a bird's-eye view camera like the first MGS. Set in the near future Mexico in 2063, the player will be a former giant company agent belonging to the Revolutionary Group, and will infiltrate the company to search for his missing friends.

According to the rescue of fellow POWs, equipment has been upgraded, increasing physical strength and access to new areas. Make the most of each element to save your friends and reveal the conspiracy of a giant company. There ar...

Deathloop: Performance

Deathloop was published on September 14, 2021 and the title received extremely good reviews from the international press. We also had fun with the time-strapping shooter in our test, but expressed a little criticism. Despite the average very good scores, the whole thing looks a little different on Steam. Here is Deathloop (Buy Now 56.99 € / 50.99 €) Currently just under 3,000 ratings, of which 64 percent are positive, which gives the title a mixed review. Most negative evaluations give the reason the pretty bad performance of the title on the PC. Many players experience constant ruckler, which is probably due to Denuvo DRM. Also on Reddit, users complain about poor performance and, of course, there are already some memes on the subject. For example, the user Never-asked-for-this creates a contribution in which he pushes the performance bereafter on the very good-looking Hamburg. Somewhere, the whole computing power must flow away. A Bethesda spokesman responded to this post and pr...
