Many blockbuster game titles (Mario, Zelda, Silent Hill, etc) that were made in Japan have western settings.
And he never went to a western country?
I'm sorry I'm expressing myself wrongly here.
I'm talking about a fanproject.
(And before I'm being corrected here as well, I'm talking about people actually living in Asia as asians. I should probably be saying asian citizens, people living in the US being US citizens, people living in Africa being african citizens etc etc.)
When, for example, they made the movie Prince of Egypt, they took the entire cast for a tour through egypt to experience every little detail. Cool.
Yeah, but most fans here can't do that. Although it would be cool to actually do it!
But I'm sticking to my point. I've had 3 people from Asia with quite a bit of knowledge about their own and the rest of Asia's culture over at Hero6 (and a few people who loved the culture and made an effort to learn about it)... in the end, it was their suggestions to cut it from the game.
If anyone think they can do it, PLEASE go ahead! I'm just warning you... it isn't as simple as you think it is. (There's been a number of people on this very forum who suggested they're starting a QfG game in an asian setting... I haven't seen a single piece from these people)
Eriq, I know I still owe you an african baby. Though you'd probably not believe me, I've searched most corners of SA for the specific one I'm looking for... and I'm not giving up.
