thanks! 
I've just recently (like yesterday, really) set up a meeting with a local developer looking for fresh games, so hopefully I can pitch this thing!! 
though I obviously wouldn't be able to use the King's Field name... -_-
on that point -- does anyone know how one would go about purchasing said publishing rights...? I've poked around on the Internet a bit, but can't find much solid info on the topic; I also am unsure of who I'd even contact in this case -- From Software? that's my best guess...
the group making River City Ransom: Underground (a group of RCR fans, in fact) recently did something similar, by purchasing the rights for their game; the first RCR game was released about 20 years ago, if memory serves, and King's Field itself isn't much younger. so it IS possible that I could use the KF name. maybe.
