Hey, wasn't sure where the best place to post this was, and couldn't see anything similar though I might be being a total poopbrain, so apologies if I overlooked an answer.
What's the deal with making a game using the engine that is based on, say, another world, a book, a movie etc? A fangame, so to speak.
I was interested in turning some of my favourite books into full RPGs as they've never had a game adaptation before. Obviously if you were to go commercial you'd need a licensing agreement from whoever has the copyright, but for a non-commercial game, what are the rules? I'm not talking about ripping lines straight from the book, but using it as a basis to create a game that follows the same plot, same characters, so that you can experience, in this example, the book in another format. It's not that I don't want to create my own stories, but that I want to share these amazing stories that already exist but in a new way.
Again, not asking for commercial purposes so don't worry.
Cheers m'dears.

Hello! I would like to know if there are any pluggings or any way to customize how battles look?
I was thinking that when you start the battle for it to appear the eyes of your characters and opponents sorta like Ace Attorney.
Sadly I don't know how that would be possible so I would be needing help! If you can help me in any way I would really apreciate it!

The biggest debate we need to complete on which is better, Waffles or Pancakes?
