Cat Smuggler Simulator 2013: What Are You Buying?

[SweetShark]

We need to decide what kind of game it will be.

Do you want to be like a "Built your Empire" game. To start only with a small apartment and end up with a Giant Secret Organization spead in the whole city?

Emergency Foodsupply Cat

"The morally ambiguous cousin of fat cat."

-As an alternative to selling it, you can turn it into rations. This will also happen if the cat meets its fate in any other means. (Not including UFO disintegration beams)
-Offering it to a person whos not interested results in alot of negative karma and reputation.
-Additional PETA heatlevel increase

DIfficult, difficult....
What kind of image you have for the cat? How the cat look in your mind?

A fat cat shoved into a lunchbox

I would like a Cuddly Cat - 100% chance of selling to a Crazy Cat Lady or 50% to another customer who could be classed as 'lonely'

What if the cat IS the LunchBox? This sound more interesting to me in my opinion.

What kind of features this cat would have to be unique from the other cats? By saying that I mean the look of the cat.

I accidentally deleted the second Cat i draw....
Post again:

Just make the last cat an actual Tiger.

-Aggressive and difficult to transport
-Requires specialized inventory space.
-Draws attention from criminals as well as police.
-Incredibly large profit margins for any kind of buyer that can afford it.

I was thinking something like this, but a cat rather than a pony

About the space the Smuggler could have with him......will be infinitive.
He wearing a Magic Coat which is why it help him to carry so many Cats in the same time while he is trying to Avoid the Police and other kind of Hazards he will face.

While the time pass, he can update his magical coat to carry more cats with him.
The only penalty with have for carrying a lot of cats is the weight Smuggler will carrying and he can carry only bigger cats after some updates.

Also I though a Story for this game, but right now is not the perfect time.

What do you think about my idea?

I definitely like the magic coat. I was thinking weight and suspicion would be the two factors getting you past security. Weight would be the most obvious factor; you'll get suspicious looks for being heftier than your size would imply. Suspicion would be an amalgamation of any weirdness coming from the direction of your coat. It would be the random event stat that could increase the chances of cats escaping or making noises or other distracting things. Sometimes this is good, sometimes bad. How about that?

Also, if you're going to put in a story mode, then the game would need a sandbox/endless challenge mode as well.

Indeed I though A big part of the game it will be how could you update little by little your Magical Coat, so make it better.

At the start of your game, The Magical Coat will be limited only for 3 Cats at the same time and only the smallest ones.
With many updates your Coat in the end will be able to carry over 20+ Cats in the same time and be able to carry any kind of of size and weight with him.
The elements if you look Bigger than you are, noises and random difficulties will have with the cats [Like the one I said with the Pocket Monster Cat] are nice ideas.
Plus some others things that right now is a mess in my head.

Mere Cat

Mere Cat

*Google the Word Mere*

Well, even you had good intention for a simple/pure cat, but I will go with the Romanian Apple Cat. XD

Just imagine the conundrums of transporting cats inside of a coat. One second you're walking along with your mewling cargo, their various noises muffled by the magical "anti-cat sounds" lining of the coat. Suddenly, one of the cats leaps out of your pocket right as you walk past airport security. You immediately snatch it out of the air and stuff it back into your pocket. The security looks at you but he's not quite sure what he saw. You walk away with an eye on you but no alarms raised.

Now, you've entered into line to enter the US. A ban was recently put on all Kawaii cats so you can make a hefty price here. Unfortunately, as you are talking to the Immigration officer, one of your nastier cats somehow manages to bite you right on the kidney. You yelp. Security approaches and asks to do a quick cavity search. How do you respond?

(Those are the kind of moments that could break down to very Oregan Trail/King of Dragon Pass choose your own adventure+statchecks moments, which can be tense, random, and hilarious)

Oh, and make sure that the company you bought the coat from is called "Wizards of the Coat"

I just LOVE the way you describe the whole scene!!!
Every single smuggling you trying to do outside of your Secret Base [Your Apartment at first], It could be random regenerate with different kind of event base of:

-The area you select.
-Cats you are carrying with you.
-Level of security in the area.
-Unique Rules set sometimes.
-What kind of upgrades you done on your Coat.
-Maybe other kind of updates you done unrelated from the Coat.
How popular you are and well known.
-Etc.

This actually get a shape and I love every single moment of it!!!!

Also, YES!!!! The name "Wizards of The Coat" fit with the story I had in my mind!!!!!!

I approve the name "Wizards of The Coat" for the "shop" you bought the Magical Coat!!!!!!

1) Area Selection: Your current location -> Mode of travel/cost of travel -> destination
2) Acquired cats
3) Security: Security at current location -> Security at Destination
4) Unique happenstance: Legal status of cats at Location/Destination + Penalties for smuggling cats.
5) Coat Upgrades: Supplied by Wizards of the Coat for a hefty sum per upgrade.
6) Local relations: Favors you can call in from previous buyers/cat suppliers. Possible loan sharks and cat enthusiast organizations.
7) Faction relations: Your current standing within specific countries and in the eyes of various organizations including INTERPOL, CIA, Masonic orders, Cat-worshiping cults, fandoms, etc.

Possible additions: relations with other smugglers? You can sell out another smuggler or two to get the police off your back in case you've been caught. Sometimes other smugglers will try to sell you out if you are doing very well for yourself. What do you think?

Reply again because just now I realised you where talking about the Cheshire the Cat from The Alice in Wonderland....

Cheshire the Cat was a Ghost in the original story?

I don't know what the cheshire it, but does anyone, one thing is certain one moment here is there another moment here isn't there anymore.

To make this compatible with anything I put in some kind of order [i think the cheshire is not of order] a ghost would be the best area to put it. It exists and yet not, it is and yet isn't!
