Skate shop idea is gold!
Nice to see someone actually trying to get something started. Best of luck Novel!
There are tons of good ideas on Fluckit when it comes to new skateboard games but I think everyone agrees that first and foremost it needs to have a good engine – it needs to feel like skating. Street and transition.
That alone won't sell games to anyone who doesn't skate however and that is really the biggest hurdle in creating a realistic skate game.
How is this new game gonna attract gamers and not just skaters? That is the key question investors are going to ask.
How are you going to make it sell?
With Skate it was easier because the developers could point to THPS and say: We can do something that feels much more authentic and realistic. There was nothing like it when it was released.
I think if any new realistic skate game is going to get released it needs to be attractive to both skaters and regular gamers without resorting to what Skate and THPS did, namely adding goofy stunts, hall of meat, shopping carts, stupid stuff like that.
That is a tough nut to crack.

only thing which could improve the current park creator, would be the ability to edit your parks during a session
