Uh, okay. Lets see. Although I think most of your answers are good already.

The point about Python scripting is okay.
The second I would change to something like:

Games are independant of the engine and can be packaged separately. As
a consequence, anybody will be able to create games using the Adonthell 
engine without touching or compiling C++ once it is finished. All it needs is 
creating game content with various tools, like map- and dialogue editor, and 
programming a bit of Python.

We are also developing a whole world with it's own history, customs and 
inhabitants, as a background for the game, to give it a more authentic feel.

Change the bit "Artists are also invited to join." to something like
We also looking for artists skilled in computer graphics and additional 
writers, as these parts involve a lot of work as well.

Exactly. Like Adonthell will be the game with the highest Yeti-density since 
"Sam & Max". :)


Apart from that, I think it is perfectly okay. That should lead him onto the 
right track.
