View Full Version : Is it Possible to make our own VMK?!?
PowerfulSonicMint
09-27-2008, 02:01 PM
Since Sulake closed VMK. Is it even allowed to make a VMK for us?!? Idk if its illegal to make our own VMK. Could we just do different themes and change the name of VMK to something else?!? I am going to try to make one. But maybe try to get some answers from you guys so i know if i should do it. Should I do it?!?

Ok ill tell you something that will help you. You may not be able to get it like vmk unless you buy a really good program. Disney spent alot of money on it but they own a lot of money so it was less of a big deal to them. It can not be disney, the game your making it can be a virtual kingdom but it has to be something non disney related. The themes can be space related or animal related or haunted related like vmk but not Tomorrowland, Animal Kingdom or Hautned Mansion. You see what im saying? Similar but not disney related.

Well, if you want it to be multiplayer and use VMK Images, disney still owns the copyrights, so they can sue you. But if you make it like http://www.gpvmk.com where its not mutiplayer then its fine

Everything is possible! GPDOT made VMK again, just without the characters
VMK still owns the copywrite, so you cannot make it again, but you can make it, as long as you do not post it to the public

and GPVMK edited the graphics ;like the backgrounds and the souds and stuff like on the lands her put a r next to them and he changed the sound's around two. go on and and look you will see little but big changes to the stuff!

I'm just going to say, that it's great that you want to start the site over again.
Obviously, you can't use the same name for it (because of Disney still owns it...), but you can maybe switch out the letters. One thing you really wan't to worry about, is how you're going to deal with Money Managment. Once you have that figured out, you should get started! I hope to see your game in the future!

Well, TrackSpookyElement is helping me with the game. Yes, I will have to know a lot about coding and computer graphics but I been doing it for some time because I play on this game titled Halo Custom Edition which makes you use the Halo Editing Kit which makes you create maps and work on computer graphics. Maybe you can check out some of my maps when I take a picture of them. :D

I believe in you that you can make a base for this, but I am telling you game programming is extremely difficult, and this is not an easy task. You would have to create 40+ rooms, make transparent characters.. etc.. Besides that, there is coding behind every little thing you need to build. You would need someone with at least 6 years of experience to do this, along with several developers and graphic designers. Although it seems very difficult, I believe you can get some parts done without further help.
Best of luck,

I just found this out and i have to give credit to SkyRocket for this so here it is.
I just found out, according to the United States Copyright Database that VMK was never put into the database which is really odd and if VMK existed, why did they not put a copyright on? Well, that answer will be up to you guys. My opinion on the answer was that Disney mentioned that VMK closed bc of a promotion so if you close bc of a promotion, no copyright is needed? Really weird and VMK lasted longer than the promotion, why didn't the copyright exist?
I am really confused but I give SkyRocket credit for this.
hmm..this is all very interesting
im curious to see what will happen

Well, that's true. Disney can't sue of force them to end VMKU because of no copyright was even filed in. It's really dumb that Disney forgot to put a copyright in but great because VMK will be coming back from FSP and nothing, not even Disney, can stop it.

Well, the entire VMK Copyright never existed so no copyright means you can recreate VMK entirely. According to the US Copyright Database, no copyright on VMK was on the Walt Disney Company area. When I clicked Walt Disney, no copyright was on VMK, only ToonTown, POTCO, and other online games.
that could be called Virtual Magic Paper Kingdom

Well, I could but I want it to be VMK 2 because since the copyright of VMK never existed, it means I can use the same title once again. Though I am merging VMK 2 to VMK Unleashed at this moment. I am almost coming to a final agreement with the founder of Unleashed so stay tuned!

As far as I am concerned, it's a direct violation of copyrights. Wouldn't be surprised if WDIG knows about it by now.

It was not a lie, but they probably didnt look at the bigger picture, instead of just looking at VMK, they should have looked at Disney or Sulake. If they miss one thing, either companies will probably sue. Sulake is known for suing people for very slight things, even sued a group of teenagers. Disney will most likely probably sue too.

Well, then people who are recreating VMK should stop if they copyright existed because there won't be a game like VMK if it existed. Unless things in that VMK is not exactly like VMK, you can't make one.
exactly my point as well..
for the " unleashed " term.. its not unleashed at all.. vmk was vmk and theres no way to re-create it without having disney involved

Well, Sulake you mean, because they developed it and such. I don't know who exactly holds the copyright but I guess Disney or Sulake holds the key. Unless some millionaire or a billionaire bails us out of it, there's no way we can get hold of that copyright.
no i actually mean disney, sulake doesn't hold mickey, or as well anything disney as to my knowledge or any knowledge currently...

Well, of course Sulake doesn't hold what Disney has, but remember, VMK was made by Sulake, I think Sulake holds the copyright or something like that. If they do, it will take less money to buy the copyright (If we are rich enough to buy one) so we can take the game back.
we can for sure make vmk.. thats no problem.. its just all the copyrights..
sulake is the graphics admins of vmk to put it that way..
even if they put a copyright on vmk..
sulake merely owns the graphics, and avatars and such.

We can attempt to buy VMK's copyright if possible, right? It's possible to buy something a company owns and take it and do what you want it to do. If you bought the VMK copyright, what would you do with it?
with disney thats impossible
practically like asking to buy all disney theme parks..
i rather not.
and again... vmk copyright means nothing.. unless plain shirts, and walking in white rooms means alot.. you need disney to make the magic happen regardless if you have vmk copyright.

Well, how can this be impossible? What would go wrong buying VMK's copyright?

Oh, just saw it Jake. Yeah, I know Disney has 50% of VMK's Copyright but how do you negotiate with them on the copyright. Just wanting to know in case we do it (Which may never happen but could).
well.. you seem to point it at vmk's copyright..
vmk was not the reason it was vmk..
disney used it as a promotion, hence the disney things.. Could you stand vmk normally? even if you held vmk.. you would still be fined for using disney copyrighted material.

Oh, so buying the copyright isn't such a good idea, right? Well, that was the last chance to save VMK, besides trying recreating our own. The recreating part is still going strong so we still have a shot at it.
it may be good to use your own things in the game, it just wont reach to people as a vmk.

Ok here it is easy! As long as it is now exactly as VMK had it is ok. Say, if you like one of VMK's couches. Change the edge trim or put a pattern on it and change the color!

Ok so that's the only way to do this right? Hmm, not so bad after all. Let's see what we can do on that.
but dont forget.. just buying the copyright wont make it a game..
it costs money to keep the game up, and crashes will result in you paying as well.

It is possible, if the game isn't excatly like VMK, you would be doing a copyright issue that you and the Disney Company would have to handle. For more information visit the official copyright website and look up VMK.
Have said it before, I'll say it again:

Yes yes, I know that cyre but we won't use the same things that VMK used like their land names, their items, etc. We will use different things on it to make it similar to VMK.

I still think that it would be breaking those terms but it depended what you did as if it was anything like it it would break those terms.

So still changing things that VMK had would still break the terms?

Guys, someone may have already said this, but GPDOT is gonna make everything that vmk had i think, just he is not going to make it online so there wont be other players around you (i heard though, that he will make AI avatars moving around saying random stuff at times tho)

Interesting. At least GPDOT is doing a non-online recreation of VMK to remember it. At least we can have AI avatars so it feels like VMK.

Well, I know you can't make copies of VMK but if you were to do, without being detected by Disney, how would you be able to do what VMK did? I am not really well trained but how would you, if you remain undetected?

That's impossible. Disney and other company's are always looking for copy cat's that way they can sue and say we thought of that. Change the name to MARVELAND as I said make new world's lands, games, character creations, pins, Magic.
