Hey guys,

I just drew up a first draft of a game concept document. If you don't have anything better to do, would you mind taking a look at it and giving me any feedback (positive or negative) that you might have? Thanks a bunch,

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I'd assume you'll be trying to sell this game in the Asian countries because it's just not going to work in US/Europe area. This kind of concept has been done and the gaming population in at least Taiwan doesn't really care for your quality as long as the name of some famous martial arts fiction writer is slapped on your title.

To be sure, the one I've seen in Taiwan was a horrible game, but it still sold very well... so that makes me think people don't really care about the quality as long as it has the Jing Yong name (or Guo Long).

It's a cool concept, and I can see how it can be interesting, but it's not going to work.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>...I'm not planning on making any money out of this. I'm doing this for the experience and because I think it will be fun. Those that aren't into it, don't have to have anything to do with it. No skin off my back.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I can't imagine very many people playing a game like this over here, and if you want to try your luck in the Asian market, the market is saturated with cheap ripoffs and whatnot that it's just frustrating, or at least I'd imagine it to be so since I get frustrated by just looking at the sucky games that come out in Taiwan.</div>
