How Do You Want Smaller Licences To Be Represented?

Most of us have a more obscure licence we'd want to see in the game. With most of the big licences being snagged and some of the open ones having problems (F13s in a lawsuit, Stephen King doesn't like video games, Chuckys too short, ect.) I figured now would be a good time to ask. I think paragraphs would be the best course of action, as something like Pumpkin Head doesn't require a full chapter.

    Saying Paragraphs, because some licenses just can't have 2 characters for each side, or can't really have maps.

    I actually also want scp, but no Idea what the killer option would be, or what their power is. Survivor tho? There are plenty of options to choose, and some interesting perks they could throw in.

    I’m stuck between making them paragraphs or making them full chapters still. I think it all depends on the level of “obscure” or “cult” they are. I think something like a Pumpkinhead license deal could be made a full chapter but something like Manic Cop would be a paragraph if ever considered.

    Dual liscensed chapters would be cool. Characters that could be in a situation like this could be Morgan Yu from P R E Y or Big Daddies from Bioshock. This could also be used to package controversial characters like Springtrap alongside popular chars like Sydney Prescott.

    All of the above (minus the "they aren't worth the trouble" option).

    I don't see why every small license, or any license for that matter should be dealt with in the exact same way. I think it should be taken on a case by case basis, not every chapter deserves to be treated the same way after all, some license holders may be more restrictive than others, so only a legendary skin would be a viable option.

    Likewise, a paragraph chapter could also be used for a chapter that just wouldn't fit as a whole chapter lacking a survivor or killer alternative. And so on and so forth

    I just don't think they would be worth it. They wouldn't generate as many sales and would be a waste of resources.

    Depends on the license.

    Something as niche as Candyman won't make a good license imo.

    You might be able to argue for something with a more active following (SCP or... shudders... FNAF) but those come with their own isses (legal for SCP, and "not pissing everyone off" for FNAF).

    I'm just pissed that they didn't do more with the Evil Dead license.

    I don't feel like the original chapters which get full chapters would be considered more important than smaller licensed characters. So I'd say they should just be full chapters.

    I choose the wrong option.

    I actually want the #4

    Some things may only require a paragraph but others could have chapters. It really just depends on the killer.
