I'm and on the way
As usual, I'm not really sure what to do with the theme. As I prefer the programming aspects of the game, I've decided to just work on a genre which I've wanted to do for a while but never had the time or opportunity(top-down driving) - and I'll shoe-horn the theme into the game tomorrow.
I'm going for a top-down Quarantine-esque (PS-DOS, '94) feel, taxing people around in some ill-fated world.
To the coffee-machine!
