If you ever do that, you should send along a big piece of paper that says "I WONT TAKE YOU TO COURT IF YOU USE MY IDEA" ...because if you don't send a big and obvious disclaimer, it prevents them from ever seriously looking at your idea. Though usually most unsolicited ideas are simply tossed out. I learned this nearly a decade ago when I thought all it took to have a card game made was to write up ideas and send them off and then wait for the check in the mail. Sadly, it never came. D:
 
Sending ideas to companies... Most of the time, they end up getting lost in... time? Um, more like, spam folder.[FONT]
 
It's worth a shot submitting your ideas as long as it doesn't cost anything on your part, but because they're big companies, don't expect them to respond. But hey, you might get lucky.

*has plenty of ideas for videogames, some of them quite odd*
 
Yeah, I pretty much started out recycling old CSS. I usually save most coding and old signatures on the notepad in the usercp, just in case I'd like to use an old layout or something. As long as you can get the hang of it, it'll get a little more easier, which is pretty much the same with anything.

I save every single one of my themes in their own folder on my computer xD The images for everything and then the CSS. Just in case.
 
I haven't used CSS since like... 2008.

HTML 4evr. idek, I don't really feel like CSS is needed for a good theme. But that's my opinion, everyone has their creative perks :3c I keep the same layout, just change the images and stuff. Thassit.

We should both put in ideas :D

...all I want to do is ask how they plan to create more and more Professor Layton games and not retain some level of the same story over and over. Then ask if they ever plan to take ideas from fans xD .

Heh, I bet the people have heard that before :P

You need an agent in order to send ideas to companies. They will not even read it or open the email without one. I don't understand why so many people don't read the company disclaimers regarding this.. because it's a huge legal liability on the companies' part.

I wouldn't recommend doing it unless you take the steps to do it properly. (If it's a script, join the writer's guild, etc.)
Do your research before sending anything.


And if you ask that question, you'll probably just get a pretty neutral response like "We have a large story team that works on it etc etc etc" Though it's always a battle between marketing and the production team.. marketers want something that'll sell "IE.. follow the trend" and production always want something new and better. Bringing fans in the mix would also bring a whole other level of chaos. Only very rarely would they ever do so.. and when they do it's usually an announcement (like the MyLittlePony thing they're doing.)

So yeah. If anything.. research before you post because the last thing you want is to be left hanging and wasting time.

Have you seen people around the forum with columns in the signature, text over their banner, or things that look impossible with regular signature formatting? That's CSS :)

It's like HTML kind of.

Oh. That sounds cool.

I should look more into it.
