You wouldn't be allowed to brand it as "Bots Acclaim"  even if you got your team together. It's a copyrighted name and logo. Granted it went under and was bought out by another company, you still wouldn't be allowed to brand it as that.

Also, it requires a bit more than just programmers and a server host. You need a modeler/animator, gfx artist, etc. It's much more complex than most people imagine. If you don't have someone who knows what they're doing, you end up with a very messed up game with broken functionality (take a look at the Dark Meto Gun as an example)

And as I said in my previous post; you need to make this game into something more than what it currently is. You need to look into other engines, dev software, etc. (which costs a lot.)  As it stands, the nostalgia of this game won't give you the income required to run it permanently. Also, an investor is only good for starting it up - no investor will place money into something that doesn't give back.

In other words, if you want something that will survive on it's own and become self sufficient, you will be making a game from scratch. And even with dedicated supporters, it will take a good year or two. Otherwise you're throwing money down a bottomless hole and it becomes a lengthy and very painful venture.


I've managed a lot of projects which have created a lot of bridges of connections, so none of this will be of concern, nor issue.

Also, I know that bots acclaim is copyrighted, It was just that people know "Bots" as "Bots Acclaim".

If I have a lot more free time after closing out of a few business deals, I'll invest quite a bit into creating a proper game that won't die after a couple of year(s).

Depending on how you market and "sell" a game to people, it may last a life time, but I digress.

The main topic is that the game Allie invested her time in, is dying.


Edit: What I just noticed is that when someone creates a "Is this game dead" thread, the whole forums gets a lot more active, and then it dies once again.

I remember a few years back we hunted down the CFO of the company that bought the original copyright from Acclaim (Orange Games) and attempted to purchase that copyright after we saw their initiatives with the game were heading very southward. He didn't respond to our offer on Facebook >.>.

Was I able to beat all of these except that dragon at a time? I can't remember if it was possible.

It'll be interesting to see how these advance. I loved the WCIII use map settings games. Alot of them are pretty similar. Used with the Dota 2 Reborn engine.

I looked into building my own and the only thing I'd be concerned about is getting the wiring correct. I have no idea where the hell to plug certain things in. I wish guides went over this a bit more. The rest seems pretty simple.

Wow looks like the money is rolling in. I would donate if you could donate with a public comment.

Apparently I need Facebook friends to donate to my cause before it opens up to the pubic domain (outside of my friends list on Facebook [wtf?]). Anyway, I'll just post my e-mail to paypal and post my excerpt from the GoFundMe page here. That's awful :/.

Looking to return to BoutCheetah and get some activity going in PVP again. Priorities of this guild will be somewhat different,  meaning the revitalization of the PVP sphere will come first and egos will go on the back burner. I'm away from home for the next couple of days and will be making a big move in mid July, so I'll make an attempt to be pretty active until then between work and the gym and life in general. I hope to see some old faces and make a few new friends.

bruh.. don't bother, allie's not even here

Allie's help would be appreciated but I can go it alone or find new leadership in her stead.

Well guys, I'm too ashamed to post this on Facebook, but between monthly student loan payments/bills, I'm having trouble saving for a PC. I'd like to start streaming on twitch if I can raise enough to buy components for a new one. Below is my GoFundMe page (I know, **** that's embarrassing). If anyone is willing, by all means, toss me a buck or two. The old HP DV 5000 just isn't cutting it anymore. If this breaks rules, my apologies, you can delete the post. At any rate, here's my page below:

Since GoFundMe won't allow public donations, you can donate to my PayPal directly here and post a comment below (**** you GoFundMe):

Hey guys, I've been an avid gamer all my life and have always wanted to take up streaming on twitch but my current set-up (a Hewlett Packard DV 5000) would never allow me to do so. I'm a graduate from The Ohio State University in Columbus with degrees in Microbiology and Nursing. I am employed full time as a nurse but between monthly bills and student loan payments, I can't find it in my budget to save for a better computer. The laptop I use is from all the way back in 2006 when I first went to college. It's been a great notebook and is an absolute tank but the new-age games just don't run smoothly and If I'm to open Twitch while gaming the Laptop overheats within a couple of minutes! I feel awful coming on here and asking for a few donations but this laptop is on it's last legs after 8 long years. I've set the goal at $1,000 but even $500 may be efficient, as I've looked into building my own computer after buying the individual components (way cheaper than buying a pre-made model). Well guys, I'd appreciate any help I can get! Thanks in advance! Toodles!
