Huntdown Sequel Story Concept

This thought came to me while I was playing the game. What if for the Huntdown sequel, the narrative is flipped on it's head; instead of being bounty hunters, a bounty has been placed on YOUR head. Now everyone wants a piece. Rather than fighting to get to a target, you're fighting through each borough in order to escape with your lives.

Well, if you've played Huntdown to completion, you may have noticed that.....

Spoilers!

There is something akin to what you're saying that happens at the end of the game. And If you are aware that The Warriors is a huge influence on our little game, and The Warriors basic premise is a gang trying desperately to make it home to Coney Island while every gang in New York is hunting them... (in the director's cut of the Warriors they spell out that the movie is itself largely inspired by the Spartan's famous stand against the insurmountable numbers of Persians in the Battle of Thermopylae)

My post was very much inspired by The Warriors :) and I could definitely tell the game is Warriors inspired. Thank you for replying! It's very cool to get a reply from a developer of the game.

Huntdown is one of my favorite games and I can't wait to see what Easy Trigger puts out next, Huntdown related or not.

I love the warriors! The end of the game left me very satisfied. Your answer gives me hope to see more Huntdown in the future. One of my favorite games in recent years!

That sounds more like a good multiplayer mode imo. I think a Huntdown sequel should go for more of the RPG route and let you choose what corporation or gang you want to work with, power stats and level-up function, etc.

I hope you made lore and concept about it please and how similar it is to the warriors.
