Can you change the game in a way that doesn't use the IP? There are many games that are clearly inspired by some IP (game, TV series, film) but doesn't actually use the IP (you need to do more than just change names of characters or whatnot).
Other than that, yes, you need to ask for a license deal. Depending on the license holder, this may be cheap or expensive, or you may be able to cut a more flexible deal rather than pay upfront (e.g. share of profit, but you're making a non-profit deal, so...). Or maybe you can make a deal to release it on their website.
Or just hope they don't notice...
- snek_case 4y agoI think a clear example of this would be The Orville. Example space battle scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKepuFEzFAI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKepuFEzFAI It's obviously inspired from Star Trek TNG and they want you to know it, but it has different characters and details. It's not Star Trek, but it's also true to the original than any recent Star Trek TV shows or movies. So yeah, I would say, just change character names and make changes to your designs. Make it be its own thing and have fun with it.
