I've said this before but I think if anyone was trying to make a game in the Mad Max universe, it shouldn't be a narrative driven game where you play as Max or Furiosa etc.
You should be the random war rig driver for a local petty warlord. Focusing on how to transport your delivery quickly, without damaging the rig badly or using too much guzzoline.
The best parts of 3-4 out of 5 movies involve a rig being chased and attacking convoys was fun in the very okay video game.
As the game progressed you'd unlock better appearance options, armor, weapons and even nick names. The same for your war crew. You'd upgrade experienced members into being black thumbs/fingers, organic mechanics, maybe even a history man for morale/reputation.
The rig would get upgraded with better engines, weapons, defenses etc. You'd unlock or capture escort vehicles which you could drive as well.
You could even start the game stylistically in between films 1-2, with initially just biker gangs as the attackers, but eventually you'd driving through canyons blasting berserker cannibals parachuting down on you etc.
Dust & Diesel is an upcoming Mad Max-like truck driving game where you have to basically do the Fury Road by customising your truck and support vehicles. It's first person like a truck sim I believe.
Dustland Delivery is a pixel art side on game with more of a strategic approach, but sounds like it has more of the depth and narrative aspects you might like, as you try to use wasteland trucking to make your little encampment a key townshipninbthr post apocalypse.
Just looked and Dust and Diesel and it looks fun! The only thing I'd like to see to make it the real mad max experience is being able to have a crew on top of your rig, and following in their own cars. Plus, being able to get out/let someone else drive and pick off the buzzards yourself.
That would be cool. Like lots of good ideas we'll probably get the indie space running with one or two really well, but not necessarily the whole kit and kaboodle.
