This is how it works:

  1. We look at the game and determine whether we want to expand and publish it as a full game in conjunction with the developer
  2. If we don't, we immediately release it to you, and you can do whatever you want to with it, including making a commercial version on your own.
  3. If we do, we negotiate with  you to determine contract. Things like percents and development help (maybe a programmer who can do something you can't, or an artist or musician to spruce up some parts you would like help with).
  4. If we can come to an agreement, then YAY, we start working together to make the commercial version.
  5. If we can't, will we haven't talked in depth on this one, so I'll discuss with our publishing department. My guess would be we would revert publishing rights back to you after a set time. Will get answer for certain as soon as possible.

If rights would revert back after a certain time, could we see a change in the wording to include the time and conditions? It might help with increasing entries, so I believe there would be some merit in doing so.

Discussing how we want to handle it today/tonight(when JP office gets in), will definitely clear this up and add it to the rules as well as soon as we have a definite answer.
