Intro

Badass Quest is an open source framework based on Google Maps API for old-GTA-style games. Unfortunately, on July 2018 Google changed their pricing policy which made Badass For President, the game that served as example of the framework, unmaintainable (costs changed from zero to $2000AUD a month) and they seem to require a Google developer account with billing enabled even for local development.
