later they ended up releasing a product with DBZ knockoff characters, and later released DBZ character skins, but the damage was already done.
The cease and desist ordered us to either stop or convert the game to the Wild Tangent internet gaming format, which was impossible for a bunch of amateur designers using the Quake engine we'd have had to either create our own game engine, or buy a license to use the Quake engine, both of which were basically impossible for us. The cease and desist order basically sunk us and destroyed our following, because this was back when modding was just starting to get big, nothing like the Morrowind era which came soon after, and people didn't really understand the rules to modding, especially using copyrighted characters, so the project lead had no idea what to do about it and got scared. I was only 13-15 at the time, so I was doing small stuff, but the fact that it's still remembered is amazing. I was on a nostalgia cruise and googled Bid For Power, and never in a millions years did I think I'd see anything about BFP 16 years after working on it.
