What is the name of your state?
Florida
I'm wondering whether or not I would be within legal bounds to create a fan game of someone else's franchise, assuming I explicitly state that I do not own the franchise and am not licensed or endorsed by the copyright holder, and all of the assets and code are my own. Would that be enough for it to be okay, or is there more, or is there really no way to make a fan game legally at all without actually being licensed by the copyright holder?
