Hey everyone! In case you haven't heard of it before, Ace Attorney Online is an easy-to-use site where you can make your own Ace Attorney fancases. It's exclusively online, and requires no downloads. It's been out there for a while now, so there are already lots of completed cases you can play. (Of course, you can also use the AAO engine to make things besides trials.)

Much of AAO's content has been made with the "version 5" editor. However, a few days ago, AAOv6 entered pre-release, and to celebrate Unas (the head of AAO) is hosting a "Bright Age of the Law" competition! AAOv6 has been programmed from the ground up and features more flexibility and features than the previous engine, such as custom foregrounds, scrolling courtroom shots, and multiple on-screen characters.

If you're interested in the AAOv6 editor, you can join the case competition, and try out AAOv6 firsthand. If you win, your case will become the first featured case made in AAOv6!

If you're more visually inclined, you can enter the sprite competition. While you can easily enter custom sprites for your own use in the AAO editor, the winning sprite set of the competition will be added as a default sprite set in the editor, like the canon character sprites.

Finally, if you don't really want to make your own thing but want to help others make theirs, you can write a tutorial for the tutorial competition.

(The winners of the three competitions will also each get a snazzy mug and custom forum title.)

AAO is free to join and use, so give it a try! The main Bright Age of the Law page (which includes a trailer that shows off the AAOv6 engine) can be found here.

Wait, wha-? What is AAO announcement doing at CR? xD

---

It's news and it is related, I don't see the problem.

---

I thought for a minute that they had gotten a working DD engine in AAO. The new engine looks plenty nice though!

---

I am a member of AAO and I think it has a superb editing program. I've also made a case or two there.
Anyone can make one, but you need a lot of time if you want to make a case. I recommend playing through some of the featured trials. You won't be disappointed!

Thanks for relaying the announcement here, BP !

I hope it will be an opportunity for everyone here to discover - or rediscover - AAO and get to creating great cases !
There have been many changes since I first opened the English section of AAO (it was the launch of V3, 6 years ago already !), and V6 is a small revolution in itself.

I count on all of you to show what AAO's future is made of during these competitions

Hmm, not bad. I got hooked on the music though.

Wow, my case from 2009-2010 is still left hanging.


Ha good to see things updated/still kicking though, might jump back in.
