Luckily, Francis has sunglasses! (Which, if you follow RE5 logic, will protect you from flash grenades and the like.)

Also, Black was glowing with RAAAAAAAAAAGE! Kind of like how Kristoph can make lobster dishes levitate just by raising his arm into the air.

That had better be the good kind of impatient.

Anyways, official Case 4 announcement go here!
Look forward to

Spoiler:
Surprisingly, the intro scene and first phase don't require much resources, or I have them ready - but that doesn't mean I can just rush into it.

You see, for one, I'm very busy. I've been asked to do resources for a fangame, and there's another fangame already on the waiting list. Not to mention schoolwork.

But also, I have a lot of things to work on for the rest of Case 4. For one, I need to finalise the plot outline and important details, and I also need to make 6 (maybe more) new OC characters from scratch and some additional sprites. I'll probably go with making official art for them first and then turning that into sprites, or ask somebody to turn them into sprites for me, but I really can't frankenstein these. Well I could, but I won't. Then there's backgrounds, and all that jazz.

But rest assured, the intro scene will come soon.

That has got to be the twenty bajilionth time I've seen "Turnabout and Checkmate" and every time I think it's the worst way to do it (no offense to you, Greeny. But just why can't it be "Check and Turnabout" or "Turnabout Checkmate" or even just "Checkmate and Turnabout"?!)

Just a question about Case 4
Did you have the idea to reveal Black's motive in it all along or did you have another idea for it?

Check doesn't quite mean the same as Checkmate.
Turnabout Checkmate is dull and unoriginal (turnabout something... :C).
Checkmate and Turnabout isn't quite the logical order for things to happen.

And anyways, I envisioned it Turnabout and Checkmate so that's how it is.
I do find it regrettable, though, that I couldn't fit it all on one line. :S

Deku... Come on... That hurts my feelings. You really think I'd, at the last moment, give up on my case and put it in the next? This is all a carefully planned out plot, consider it one large case split up into two - there's a very big thing coming up.

Anyways, I guess I should warn people in advance. After working on finalizing the way the plot advances (and I still need to work on details, contradictions, etc), I need to make you all aware that to make this big plot work, it will require a lot of... time. This means, essentially, that the real in-court, the real trial business (or most of it), won't come up until near the end, in the latter half of the case.

As it stands, we're looking at a 20-ish phases, though some are short, some are longer.

"Check and mate"?

Well "Something and Turnabout" isn't too much better.

But I think it sounds better :3

Status report... No progress at all.

I have been so very unproductive lately and I've mostly been playing visual novels to fight stress. Now I am desperately trying to fight the urge to try and make Case 4 into a visual novel project. :sadshoe:

Post subject:  Re: Francis Equitas: Ace Casanova (and Attorney)
You know, I'm starting to get dangerously convinced that this could be a good idea, so if nobody talks me out of it soon I'd really go through with it... You know I like to break the standard and go with radical ideas.

But it would basically mean a higher fail chance and a longer wait, even if I release periodically.

Scripting and Beta-Testing are such a pain. Plus there's tons of other stuff you need to worry about (animations, music, text speed, sfx, etc.) so just do a comic.

Post subject:  Re: Francis Equitas: Ace Casanova (and Attorney)
I agree with BP.
For regular readers, a game isn't necessarily better than a sprite comic - first because it allows you to skip through the boring parts, and secondly because one of the reasons we check the Equitas topic is because we know it's updated regularly.
For you, it is undoubtedly much more difficult to make, and certainly not something you can do on your own - by making a visual novel, you'd have to depend on the work of others.
You're really good at sprite comics, so why change the medium in the middle of the series?
