The North Vietnamese invaded and captured The Kingdom of Laos in the 50s. When, during the Vietnam war, the US and North Vietnam agrees to keep Laos and Cambodia out of the war to spare the two neighboring countries, the North Vietnamese promptly ignored the agreement and began using the two countries to move supplies and soldiers secretly to other parts of Vietnam, basically using the Laotians and Cambodians as human shields. The Hmong were US allies and after the war, many emigrated to the US to escape reprisals for their support of the US. I'm guessing that Khan is meant to be Hmong.

There is actually a pretty large Laotian presence in Texas, second only to California. There are Laotian neighborhoods in the DFW metroplex. It is interesting to drive through the neighborhoods and see the signs changing from English to Spanish to Vietnamese to Lao, then back to English.

Are you a fan of Connie Willis' "Oxford Time Travel" Series? Her writing style gets a little annoying to me at times, but the premises of her books are so interesting that I just keep reading them anyway.

Colorado was one of the states that previously allowed the sale of medical marijuana. OP owns a medical marijuana business. Colorado has since passed legislation making recreation marijuana use legal. OP has just received his license from the state to sell for recreational purposes to anyone over the age of 21 with a valid ID.

I can tell you your number one mistake without even playing the game, it's $1.99 (unless there is a free version that I didn't see in the App Store). That's your mistake. If you want to make an Angry Birds, Flappy Bird, Candy Crush, etc. there are two rules: 1. It has to be free, and 2. It has to be simple. These things take off by word of mouth, and if you give the user any reason to hesitate in getting your game, you've already lost. The best thing you can do is make it free and hope it takes off and you make money on ad revenue or in-game purchases.
