So, there are plenty of people out there in the gaming world who are offering their support and suggestions and wanting to know all about the game. Have I been living in New York too long? I'm wary of this apparent good will. I don't mean the support and suggestions, but particularly those that want to see the game. What if they steal something? How can we prove it was our idea first? Is it conceited to think that anyone would want to steal our ideas?
I guess I could apply that to the suggestions too. What if someone suggests something we already were doing and then wants compensated for it? We live in a very litigious society, so perhaps it isn't paranoia, but proper caution.
Fortunately, not all of us are as cynical as I am and are forming a support network of people they trust. So at least someone is trusting.
In the end though, it's this good will that keeps us going: suggestions from people who have gone through this hell, encouragement from those who - for some reason - want to go through this, and excitement from those who think we'll come up with something they'd be interested in. So, I'll try to encourage caution from my co-conspirators, but in the end it's all about fun anyway. Right?
