God KanColle really need a doujin game.. I wonder why no one makes a doujin game of it though?
Kadokawa(the developers of the game) and Sega(who apparently is also a owner) has banned the creation and sale of fan created doujin games related to KanColle.

This is also because they don't want consumers to be confused as to what is the official game. This is an IP that is gotten fairly large so they are doing an understandable business decision to protect their IP.

They can't stop "everything", but just know if your own little tic-tac-toe kancolle mod game happens to get super popular, you WILL get a cease and desist letter(I only used tic-tac-toe as an example).
Pokemon fan games get made too, but the moment any of them happen to get above a certain popular threshold, Nintendo has and will shut it down. Square has also done that to many fanworks of Final fantasy as well.
Hentai games of Tifa getting raped is still going strong though. Well, "Game" used loosely there. You wanna make a game of raping Mutsu in various sex positions? Go ahead! Again, the issue here is anyone making an actual competent game that could be mistaken as an official product.
We are still in the Kancolle boom right now so any actual game with thought put into it WILL definitely get popular and seep through all the fansites. It wouldn't take long for Kadokawa to get info about it and shut it down (even if it was completely free). Square and Nintendo have also shut down free online games as well.
Remember, this is nothing personal, just a business decision to protect IPs.
This discussion makes me wonder less about how a doujin game made by a usually one-man team (ZUN's Touhou) could spark dozens of its own fan-made doujin games and not risk getting takedown requests.
