Oh man im WAY into this. Its only what ive been thinking about for the past 4 years. Would you be ok with my picking a fairly large clan of people for the story? Atleast 3 families, and may infact keep growing. They will all be connected together through a common clan in the Scottish sense. The budgeting will be real world, except there will be a fairly large cash injection initially as the family has a few wealthy backers. However as society deteriorates there will be no banks to draw money out of and no dividends from shares so we'll be on our own. I hope the disaster is something a bit different from zombies, of all the disasters that one is the least likely. Not that it woulnt be fun. I used to be a prepper, and i love colony games. Lets get this on like diddy-kong.
