Hi Manuel,
I think this is way beyond just concept. I would argue that to have what
you've just described demonstrates some sort of semi-developed plan for
the game.
Now, as far as implementation goes, that sounds pretty weak. I don't
think the game was programmed very far, but it sounds like the concept
was in place.
A fine distinction between "concept" and "implementation", but I think
it's important. Especially considering how many times people have come
up with great, fully fleshed out game ideas, but then bailed out when it
came to writing the code....
