Shanghai-based game designer American McGee has tired of transoceanic flights and instead has taken to the internet to pitch his latest concept to the West: BaiJiu Racer, an Unreal Engine 3-powered “MMO-lite racing game concept with China as the core theme.”

“It’s the first Chinese cart racing game developed with an authentic and original Chinese art style, set in real-world locations, and featuring some of the funkiest racing vehicle designs the world has ever seen,” wrote McGee on his own blog. It also promises “strong narrative backbone and emotional drama” as part of the MMO-esque experience.
