The vision of a free remake of an unfinished Star Wars: Battlefront III was too good to be proved to be true. Representatives studies Frontwire reported that because of legal problems have to make major changes in his upcoming project, Galaxy in Turmoil. It went of course, is that developers use the brand without permission Star Wars – the intellectual property of Lucasfilm.
Action Galaxy in Turmoil but there will roll out a long time ago, in a distant galaxy.
The whole situation described on the blog studies Tony Romanelli, head of the team. According to his relationship Frontwire later in June received a letter from Lucasfilm, which has demanded an end to the production of Galaxy in Turmoil . Romanelli did not intend, however, immediately hang white flags and asked for a meeting with representatives of the label. “To be honest, I did not expect any negotiations,” – writes on the blog. “But to my surprise, they accepted this proposal.” During the meeting, representatives of Lucasfilm stated that they would not mind Frontwire to continue work on the license Star Wars . The case broke, however, about the current contract with Electronic Arts , having the sole right to publish the video game based on this extremely popular brand. Label reportedly discussed even with EA on the
Galaxy in Turmoil had to replace fans Star wars never unreleased Star wars: Battlefront III by studio Free Radical. Developers have argued that the game was already practically completed, but LucasArts did not have the money for the right marketing . Confirmed it several times spills of materials in this respect: the textures, screenshots, game pieces, and even a playable build to! Despite the advanced stage of the game was canceled, and the next installment of the series – or rather the reboot – the players have to wait until 2015.
What does this mean for the Galaxy in Turmoil ? Fortunately – did not appeal. Although Romanelli suggests that free, fansite project from the world of Star Wars be eligible for the fair use does not intend to crumble or copies of Lucasfilm, or Electronic Arts. Frontwire resign so the creation of games based on the brand, but using the previously created content will produce “the original title so far unknown universe” . It has contain multiplayer battles for up to 64 people fighting on the ground and in the air as well as a fully-fledged single player campaign. The game will remain free, and if you trust the promises of developers, will not experience any microtransactions.
Legal turmoil will not affect the technical side the Galaxy in turmoil – developers continue to use Unreal engine 4.
Romanelli did not reveal when the project Frontwire would be released. Studio plans, however, a campaign on the site Kickstarter to raise money for productions – but collection will begin only when the developers will be able to present a demo version Galaxy in Turmoil at least one single player map and two multiplayer . The behavior of one hundred percent in order to loyal fans – may only idealistic approach did not end up ultimately a financial fiasco.
