Before I put this board together I came up with my main reason for the cause of this apacolypse which is human sized rats/rodent, which will set the direction of my board before I even started it, even if it's a very vague direction. Before the rat idea there was another idea of Wendigos but i felt like conveying a Wendigo apocolypse through a vehicle was a lot more diffcult compared to Rats.
After the Rats idea have been decided the next thing I was focused on was the time period of which this was set in, as a personal perference I really enjoy the look of old cars specially around the 1970-90's therefore I have set my time period around that time.
Later I diceded to do some reasearch on what real world rats were afraid of, lots of the results I got was all smell based and i feel like that can be very difficult to convey on a vehicle, and then I dug deeper and found that rats are scared of very bright lights and especially flashing lights.
I got the tank track idea from the fact that Rats dig holes, and becasue the size of these rats which is human sized the holes they'll dig will be massive so the tank tracks will act like a counter to that to prevent the vehicle being stuck.
Then I went to collect some reference from Mad Max as they have some very interesting and exaggerated DIY'd vehicles that I can take insporations from whether is the weapons or the actual changes to the car body.
