Post Apocalyptic? Why not During the Apocalypse?
In the vast amounts of Post Apocalyptic games like Fallout, I Am Alive, Metro 2033, and even Spec Ops The Line why have we not really see a game take place while the event was happening? Imagine a game taking place during a global flood? Or the spread of deserts or even the rapid growth of the forests?
Well it does not really mean that there would be mass death. Imagine an open world game where you started off normal. But the more you play, the forest grows and grows across the world and consumes towns and every other thing in its path. Not really killing, but destruction.
Would you like to see that happen? I personally have not see one before, so that is what I am basing this on.

What you have to understand about Post-apocalyptic settings is the idea that the human mind almost cannot contemplate what it would really be like. This sort of novelty of mindset is what makes it so interesting for us to wander around the DC ruins, or the irradiated Mojave waste. I believe that a During-apocalypse could really do well, but there is a formula that to it that might be just too difficult to risk. ;) [Edited on 12.27.2012 6:50 PM PST]
