    Separate idea: An open-world survival game, but using the TV show Jericho as the setting.

    You find yourself stranded in western Kansas after dozens of American cities have just been nuked, and with nothing but the clothes on your back and a stolen car, you have to rob and scavenge the countryside to survive.

    …I realized after typing out several paragraphs, that I basically want The Long Drive as a base game, but with BeamNG’s driving and crash physics, and Insurgency: Sandstorm’s gunplay.

    Players would get most of their supplies from fighting NPCs, having to find a fine balance between crashing out their cars without destroying the stuff they’re carrying, or the player smashing up their own ride in the process. I feel like Jonah Prowse’s story on the show would make for a fun endgame: the player creating/joining an organized gang to fight with larger convoys/settlements.
