[b]Hey, Taxi Drivers![/b] We're arriving with a new devlog! Lately there was a lot of showcasing of our progress regarding the game's graphical side - you could witness our interpetation of the look and the feel of New York City, as it will be portrayed in Taxi Simulator :D Today we've decided to try something different and tell you about... our [b]inspirations[/b]. Popculture inspirations 😉 Sometimes the best ideas for games come from watching some good old TV during the evening… Let's start with something not obviously associated with driving a taxi. Do you remember The [i]A-Team[/i]? Yes, we're aware that instead of a yellow taxi, a black B.A. Van comes to mind 😉 But hear us out... There was this one episode, during which our brave crew of veterans helped a taxi company fight of a corporation wanting to take over all cab routes. We're wondering how we could include this idea in our script 😉 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35845552/f36c93c75a34f00bdc38d12e930fb6efa01257cf.jpg[/img] Time for a more obvious inspiration - [i]Taxi Driver[/i] and the extraordinary role of Robert De Niro. If, while adding our game to your wishlist, you were wondering whether this movie will be one of our inspirations, then yes - it most definitely [u][b]IS[/b][/u] :D We couldn't afford to ignore a masterpiece of this magnitude while making a game about driving a taxi. Besides, we bet that anyone hailing a taxi hopes that Robert De Niro will be sitting behind the wheel 😉 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35845552/45a2e61b57088df90e007a6cf20964ad3e9261b9.jpg[/img] To wrap this up we would like to finish with an inspiration from our own backyard - [i]Zmiennicy[/i] ("Subs"). Not well known outside of Poland, but in our country it was a huge hit! Of course in old times 😉 To quickly summarize the plot - the main hero Jacek had a cab, but lacked a sub. At the same time Kasia was looking for a job as a taxi driver, but couldn't be hired on account of being a woman (SEXISM - unthinkable by today's standards!). But she didn't give up and decided to dress as a man, ultimately landing a job as Jacek's sub. Sounds like a soap opera? :D Yup, a little bit. [u][b]SPOILER ALERT:[/b][/u] they fell in love and lived happily ever after 😉 [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35845552/8031c5b679b95654d046d79f3be4cca04223d6da.jpg[/img] We could go on forever writing about our inspirations, but we're curious if you could recommend a movie or a tv series which would be a NEW inspiration. If that is the case, then don't hesitate to let us know in the comment section - we will look through all the comments! 😉 PS. GTA is also our inspiration. If we didn't include it, than we wouldn't be making a game about cars 😉 Cheers, Taxi Drivers from Woodland Games.
