Step into the shoes of Dana, a young man/woman who gets the opportunity to compete in the popular game show, Sly Crossing. Dana and the other contestants will try gather as much Credits as they can, but one of the contestants is trying to sabotage everything. Can you figure out who's crossing you and win all the prize money? Or will you be tricked by the other contestants into leaving the game early?

- Sly Crossing is supposed to be a medium long game, where I combine the things I've learned so far using Ren'Py. It will use the simulation/stat raising system to help you figure out who did what, when and why. It is based on a tv show that I've watched avidly for the passed 6 years, and I was inspired by this year's season.
It's a pretty intense game, but I'm planning on using older assets that never made it into games and a lot of cookbook recipes to complete it.

- The game is split into three phases; Mission Phase, Free Play Phase and Test Phase.
There will be 3-5 of these cycles.
- Mission Phase
- The Mission Phase is where you and the other contestants try to earn Credits for the Bank. You get two choices during a mission. Which other contestants you team up with and what type of action you take, a goal-oriented one or a sabotaging one.
- Free Play Phase
- The Free Play Phase is where the stat building and social interaction takes place. Here you can find nifty items and figure out clues about the Crosser and the other contestants, which will come in handy because of the:
- Test Phase
- The Test Phase will give you a number of questions regarding the Crosser, and if you have the lowest score out of the contestants the game will end for you.

- Doing most of the things myself, but I will look up free music and use cookbook recipes.
I am open to writing assistance. If you want to help you'd do one or more characters.
Not much is needed 200-500 words per scene and no more than 10 scenes max.
Please PM me if interested.
The logo and background were done earlier. The BG was a test in using SketchUp for what I wanted, and I really liked it, so I'm using it. Sprites were drawn for another project that never went anywhere, so recycling those.
So this game isn't completely from scratch, but a bunch of leftover things thrown together, art-wise.

- What do you think about using the simulation aspect in a Reality Show format?
- Who do you think the Crosser is?
- Do you have any critique on the above?
