The Witcher: Song of the Moon - I'm making a fan project

1. that trailer looks amazing
2. I'm not sure game being free releases you from being sued

The trailer looks very good and like a game i would enjoy.

I hope you have all needed permissions from CDPR and maybe Sapkowski too or it will be a short life for the game.
That it will released for free have on the needed rights and permissions no influence.
If you don't have the permissions.... write CDPR, show them the trailer, explain your plans and hope for the best.

looks cool but be very careful about this

'1. Create a great game
'2. Submit your CV to CDPR with the trailer/demo (have a demo ready that excludes witcher references for negotiating purposes)
'3. Agree on job interview on an 8USD commision on each sold copy and further 20% comission on merchandise.
'4..
'5. Profit.

I really liked the sideways movement of Geralt while the fight was loading. I pictured him circling the monster, or the two circling each other. Instead of the loading time being a boring few seconds, that animation built dramatic tension in a cinematic way. Nice.

You will definitly be open to getting sued by using cdpr's art. To be safe I think you need to release this as a mod for the witcher 3. Your "Geralt" does a great job at matching Doug Cockel's voice but you need a native english speaker to edit the writing for grammar and clarity. Your scene transistions are very cool with the tree trunks panning across the screen. one thing that i hope you add is a conversation with the werewolf before you force the player to decide on whether or not to kill them, maybe they plead with the player about how they have a family, or maybe they try to warn the player of a harder fight coming up that they would help you with or something, just to make the decision have more layers. overall, very cool idea and i loved the sketched animations

The trailer looks cool.

Just an FYI it doesn't matter if you release it for free, it's still their IP. You should definitely to talk to CDPR, if you release it they'll more than likely send out a cease and desist to you.

Hell fucking yes!

Jedziecie z tym koksem :)

A big yes. This is my kind of game and I really liked the preview. It's really well done.

It looks great :) If you do have issues with copyright you would only have to change Geralt to an unknown monster hunter and change a few icons and spell names. They don't have a copyright on fantasy monster hunters.
