Description
Since I used not to document all of my game ideas as thoroughly as I might, some have inevitably got a little lost along the way... and this is one such concept.

I know it was somewhat inspired by Bullfrog's amazing Syndicate, if only because of the isometric layout and the appearance of the sprites in their little character windows... Each character also appears to have stats of various kinds, and ammo/charge bars for two weapons and two additional features... but I've no idea what most of it was supposed to mean, and this is the only screen I every created for this concept.

What's really surprising about this one is that the palette isn't awful, as with most of my early attempts. It's still basically two shades of everything, with one 'spare' palette slot and very little contrast... but it almost looks as though I was on the verge of discovering the concept of 'optimised 16-colour palettes'.
