Game idea: Nastria

Shenmue sounds like the perfect sort of game you'd want to play. Nothing like it will be made again as the budget was absurd and lost money. It's a good example of "people going about their lives" tech that despite being a little old and rusty now, has never been beaten because of the sudden move away from that type of game with the PS2. Sadly, it was never ported to any other platforms from the Dreamcast, unlike Shenmue II, but can apparently be emulated.

Read read read. ...

That's a "this is a mystery, you must be intrigued" plot introduction, not a game. Referring to Fallout 2 is the most I've inferred to what kind of actual game it is.

I could have given more details on what exactly has happened in that corporation (that I know, actually :)), but I was not comfortable with spoilers in reviews, even for nonexistent games :'(

I know the feeling, but it doesn't really help in this situation. What are your intentions? It appears to me that this is the sort of game you'd really like to implement but lack the overall skills to do so (like graphics, music, design &c.), but you're not trying to form a development team here with a tantalising but secretive game idea (well, you might be, but I mean for the competition), you've got to pitch the game as if to those ignorant suits at the head of EA who want hard facts and want to understand the idea immediately and know if it's any good or not. I'm that bastard suit right now and I see lots of passion, but not a lot of product :)

If you are interested in soliciting a team to put together such a game, that's fine, I'm not opposed to your game, I'm just looking at it from a different perspective for the purposes of judging it against others.
