I have been throwing around the idea for a while of making an 'Unofficial' app for XCOM, which can do the same as the standard app, but have advanced timing options and other fixes/changes that can allow players to mod or play their game differently. This will also go a long way to address the concerns that some have with a proprietary app being required to play a board game, in terms of both support and flexibility.
The obvious big issue is licencing, made additionally more complicated by the 2K/Firaxis/FFG combination. I would intend to make it very clear in all labelling that this was an unofficial, unendorsed version of the app, but I don't want to spend the time just to get shut down notices.
One way around this would be to use all new art, but not only is that a lot of work it makes tying it is with the board game much harder.
So in short: Are FFG OK with this? Should I scrap the plan now?
