Mia Fey: Legendary Lawyer


This will be the thread for keeping up with the updates and changes I make to this series.

Long Term Goal: Three full games, spanning 2014, 2015, and 2016. I'm aiming for 12-13 cases total, so probably four cases for the first and second game, while the finale will have a fifth.

Features:
[*]Play as Mia Fey in her dizzying cases since the conviction of Dahlia to her untimely demise in case 1-2.
[*]Use a few tricks and tactics of the Kurain Channeling technique, including a whole new spin on it.
[*]The classic Magatama returns as one of Mia's secret weapons.
[*]Canon. Everywhere. These games, while fangames, will be as close to Ace Attorney canon as possible.
[*]See faces you couldn't see in Phoenix's Era, such as Bruce Goodman as a detective, Neil Marshall and Lana Skye as attorneys, and more!
[*]Explore the true power of the enigma known as Redd White.

Ace Attorney: Trial by Fire
Take the role of Mia Fey as you defend your clients in court, while all the while drawing closer to the truth of the mysterious DL-6 incident!

Case One - Empty Turnabout (http://aceattorney.sparklin.org/jeu.php?id_proces=22363) Mostly done; just requires a few small appearance edits.
A face familiar to the Ace Attorney series makes a surprising appearance as the defendant. Can Mia find his innocence in the courtroom...and will she find the true culprit?
Status - Final Beta: All inconsistencies/issues I've heard from others have been addressed. If no more major problems crop up, I'll tag this complete.

Case Two - Turnabout Fulfilled
Mia's client is supposedly linked to the crime taken place one day prior to the current one, making him convicted of a double homicide. Can Mia discern the truth in this maze of misdirection?
Status - Planning/script writing. A two-day case and my first attempt at investigation scenes.

Case Three - Unnamed
Details classified
Status - Planning. A two-day case.

Case Four - Unnamed
Details classified
Status - Planning. A three-day case.


Ace Attorney: Judgment Fey (amusing placeholder until I come up with an actual subtitle :P)
Join Mia as she strikes out on her own in the Fey Law Offices. A familiar face pops up, prompting her no rest as she defends her client, who may or may not be guilty.

Case One - Turnabout Truth
Take the role of Marvin Grossberg as he seeks to undo the damage he's caused by revealing Misty Fey to Redd White. Charged with perjury, Marvin must prove that the Kurain technique is nothing to be trifled with.
Status: Planning/script writing. Courtroom only.

Case Two - Unnamed
Details classified
Status - Planning. A two-day case.

Case Three - Unnamed
Details classified
Status - Planning. A two-day case.

Case Four - Unnamed
Details classified
Status - Planning. A three-day case.


Ace Attorney: End of an Era (Tentative)
A former client arrives on her doorstep, having recently passed the Bar Exam. Can Mia go from Lawyer to Teacher, and give a new generation of lawyers the skills to take on the future?

Case One - Unnamed
Details classified
Status - Planning. Courtroom Only.

Case Two - Unnamed
Details classified
Status - Planning. A two-day case.

Case Three - Unnamed
Details classified
Status - Planning. A two-day case.

Indeed. Since I am keeping it as canon as possible, Deigo, sadly, cannot be a part of any of Mia's cases. However, a thought had crossed my mind of doing something similar to T&T, and perhaps having a case where Armando is the head attorney, with Mia being his bench aid as he's showing her the ropes, as a plot element for another case. Because, aside from the...oddness of the circumstances of his death and rebirth, I really liked Diego/Godot, and I would enjoy putting him into my game(s) somehow.

@RJ: Thankee. Yeah, three games is sort of a long-term goal :P Mainly I'll be working on the first one, but I may jot down ideas that come to me for the later games, linking the cases together and whatnot. I'm not sure exactly when this first game will be released, and when it does, it'll no doubt have a fair number of placeholder sprites, but there isn't much that I can do about that, for now.

I do work on it at least a little every day, though, so hopefully it won't be too long :P

@ksunwoo6: Hm...Well, I plan to use PyWright, and have gotten a decent bit (20ish%) of the first intro case done on mine. I mean...we can try to collaborate, but I've already got a very distinct picture of how I want my game to run...From the look at your thread, it seems like you're about in the same boat as I am, graphics-wise :P We can chat about it though, and see if it'd be something we could try.

@MrCheeze: Ooh, good point. I'd forgotten about that detail. I'd still like a flashback case with Armando, but looks like ol' Mia won't be his bench aid :P From the way my plot is shaping up now, though, it most likely won't be until the second game, anyway, so perhaps an idea will come to me before then. Thanks for that piece of info ^^

Edit: I reread the game script...and she's just surprised to see him there 'in her corner' as it were. I don't think it'd be too out of canon to have her be his aide in court once, when she was still learning. I'll post the bit here for reference though, and I'll get some other opinions ^^

Rest in peace, interesting thread *just kidding*

Anyway, good luck with your project, Solarius. It seems like you've already thought some of it through, which is the most important thing. But if you plan to do three games, I think you're going to need many sprites - either already existing ones, as in Damion Shard, or OCs. I hope this won't cause too many problems.

Sigh for you.

I just asked, since there is a reason for not use it.
I really don't want to on one of those "Why you should use PWLib?".

@DramaticaXIV2

And all things come with a reason. Not want to in this case is not even close to some kind of reason.

I'm just saying that you shoudn't need a reason. If I were to open a shop, and another shop which caters to other's needs is across the street, but that shop isn't as popular, I wouldn't run up to every customer and ask them why they aren't coming to my shop. I don't really care.

In fact, this is more extreme. It's like that, only both shops sell everything for free.

In this case I think it's a bit different.

I could make PWLib better if i knew why someone doesn't use it. It's hard? Something in it isn't of your liking? And so on.

If we were really free shops, I would certainly agree with you.

Maybe he couldn't run AIGE on his pc? If so, I could try to find out why. There is a good reason for asking.

It sounds like you're saying that as if PWlib is automatically the best for everything, and the only possible reason why anybody wouldn't use it is because it didn't work, or they thought it was too hard or something.

People always read my lines as "he is saying that PWLib is the best". That's why I hate posting something on other topics. I can't mention anything PWLib related that people automatically remove what i wrote and then read "Use PWLib because it's better.".

I can't just ask for his reasons? I'm not questioning anything about "you MUSt use PWLib", for the hell's sake.

People should stop looking at my posts the WAY THEY WANT and read them as THEY ARE.

Let's not turn this into a grudge match, eh? There are always reasons for choices, although many times they are hard to ascertain. Why did I start working on PyWright in the first place? I dunno, just felt like it really. Maybe there are more reasons than that, but I don't know what they are.

I think this kind of question might be better asked elsewhere, because questioning motives in peoples topics tends to provoke controversy. But it is a useful question. I wouldn't mind knowing the answer myself. I am working pretty hard on beta 11 and if there is anything I should avoid, it would be good to know :)

Not everything ksa says has to be read adversarially, although it is a bit annoying that he has to pop up in every single pywright thread with the same question. Perhaps it could be done in private (although then not everyone can benefit from the feedback) or in a different thread (where authors might be inclined to just not post). It can be hard as a developer to really know what people want, especially if your only feedback is from people who choose to use your program - you rarely hear from the people who try it and decide it's crap for them. This is mostly true with more visible products as well. You may get indirect feedback through reviews, but for direct feedback if they don't like it they will just pass on by.

Whatever case engine is used, the story is the most important point of a case, and this one sounds like an absolute winner.

The Mia Fey history is such a rich area to be mined, I'm excited to see what is done with it. Will we see any other members of the Fey clan at points? How many silly things is Grossberg going to say? And of course, Diego, before and after his death, provides lots of interesting drama. Plus, he's the best character ever :)

I really hope you get some nice graphics for this. I'm glad you are going to try and avoid reusing characters, it's the one thing that really annoys me in many fan games (although I understand why it's done). There are so many talented artst in these forums, hopefully someone has some free stuff to donate.

I wonder how the spirit channeling is going to play out? I thought mia didn't have "the gift". But I wouldn't mind, even if it is against cannon a bit (it might not be, I don't know), but it would be a really cool ability to use in game. We never had any choice in when the fey's would transform before, it was always just, *poof*, oh they transformed again.

I like the key words idea too.

Good luck with the project, can't believe you are aiming for 6 games (3 mia and 3 edgeworth!?!??!???) One game will take you long enough lol. But I guess if fangaming is still around after the first game is done, there is no reason not to continue :)

Mia can channel. Maya says that Mia's powers were top notch in 1-2. I think she wanted to escape all that, though, so Idk if she'd use it...

But if she channels the victim, there'll be no mystery... and you can't make the victim lie all the time, that only works once.

Sure she can channel the victim. Ever watched the show Pushing Daisies? The victim always thinks they know who did it, but that doesn't mean they actually do. And in some cases, they might not even have an idea who did it. Although that's a different canon with different rules, but I think it could still apply.

....Wow~ ^_^;;

Okay. Well, as I came in sorta...after the argument was over, I'll say my peace, now.

I'm using PyWright over PWLib for pretty much one reason: it was the first one I downloaded. : D; No great mystery there, sorry ^^; I've wanted to look at PWLib, but I've already got the coding down for PyWright, so I don't see a reason to change, honestly. Unless PWLib has some amazing feature over PyWright that I don't know about, I probably won't change, as I feel rather comfortable with using PyWright, and it has all of the tools I need to make a PW game.

As for the Spirit Channeling. I've put some thought into this, as I'd like it to be as canon as possible. There will either be a) a new Fey clan member that assists Mia from time to time, (sorta like a Fey Gumshoe of sorts), or b) a new way to channel, allowing Mia to simply call forth the spirit and converse with it.

Now, while yes, talking to the dead is probably a dead giveaway for answers to riddles, may I bring you to the DL-6 incident. Misty Fey channeled the spirit of Gregory Edgeworth, who lied to protect his son, as he was certain that his son was the one who had done the deed. Even though the spirits are dead, they may not know or remember all the details clearly. But they will be able to provide a new angle on the case, something that Mia can use to work with to get more details from those alive.

Which brings me to the Key Words idea. It bothered me, not a lot, but enough, that you couldn't ask people about key things unless you had a piece of evidence about it. So I'm going to institute the Key Words, which will be just like any other piece of evidence, but basically only usable in the Investigation mode. In court, they wouldn't be worth anything, and so they'll be temporarily removed until the next investigation scene starts up again.

So while Mia will be able to channel the dead, she will in no way be able to instantly solve a case with that knowledge. And it (probably) won't be as intense as the magatama, or possibly the bracelet, but I've not yet played AJ, so I'm not sure ^^; I may, eventually, require certain conditions to be met or something, but for the most part, they'll simply be another person that you can talk to, that has the inside scoop on what's going on...as far as they know, anyway ;)

And for the Maya's assistant question...I'm not sure, yet. I know that in the third game, it'll probably be Phoenix. Because about that time Mia will be showing him the ropes, I'd assume. But I'm not quite sure what I'll do with the other two games. Possibly a new character, but it'd have to be someone who would fit into the storyline well. I'm contemplating Grossberg for the first game, at least somewhat, to 'make sure' Mia's got the skillz that killz, as it were.

The second game is entirely up in the air, however. Perhaps Mia wlil have another student at the Grossberg law firm who turns traitor for the third? :O

I'm not sure. I've got a lot of ideas (you should see the .txt document XD) but I've got to be sure they all work before I can integrate them. But thank you for the kind words, and I hope that this/these game/games will be as fun for you to play as they are for me to make. ^_^

I was actually thinking about that. I would say that, probably for the third game an older version would be needed. And I could get away with a young Mia in the second, though some stage between young and 'old' would be preferable, if you'd like to try your hand at them. ^_^ I wouldn't get there for a bit, but I would appreciate it if you did want to take the time and effort to make them.

Edit: I saw what you did with the older Maya, and it looked pretty awesome, so yeah, I wouldn't mind at all ^^

Makes it sound like they haven't been on a case together before, but it could probably go either way.

You can't talk to someone while channeling them though. I think Maya mentioned at some point she needed Pearl to talk to Mia. I'm sure there's other spirit-channeling related things we don't know about, though. (Maya channeled for the first time in AA so she wouldn't help if she visited)

I suggest getting rid of filler cases (or the entire second game) so that you have less game to make, maybe?

Ah, good point about Maya. I've only played through the games once, (sans AJ) and I tend to...binge and purge details : D; I've downloaded the game script for all three to reference, just in case I forget details, but apparently another one has fallen through the cracks. Thanks ^^

And...I don't know. I would /really/ like to make three, full-fledged games to bridge the gap between Mia's first two cases, and her getting killed and passing the torch to Phoenix. I agree, it is a lot of work. I'm not saying that I think I'll be able to pull it off easily, either :P But most of the work is writing and coding, and both of those I'm fairly adept at. I'm trying to put together the game as quickly as I can, without sacrificing quality.

But I'd like for this to be almost 'official' you know? Something that everyone can accept as canonical in the PW universe. And in that...I'd like to put together something memorable, but also something that won't be years in the making. I'm treading a very fine line, and I'm aware of it, ^^; But I'll do what I can. That's all I can do, right? ^_^

As long as you focus on one game at a time, you should be able to be successful I think. Keep in mind things that may be cool to do in the next game, but don't let that detract from just getting started from the beginning and learning as you go along. Capcom didn't sit down and decide to do 3 games, they made one, and then when it sold they made another, etc. 3 games isn't impossible, but you gotta put one foot in front of the other :)

Exactly my plan of attack ^_^ I mean, yes, I /am/ planning to make three games, hopefully. But if I can tell Mia's story in one or two games, I'll probably leave it at that, (unless of course they're so well-received that you all are begging for more : D). But yes, I plan to focus on one game at a time, one case at a time. While I may get cool ideas, they're simply jotted down off to the side for future reference. I don't plan to force a case/game to fit around one good idea I have. If I can work it in, great, if not, there's always something else I can do.

The first case in each game will, probably, just be an intro case to keep with the scheme of things, meaning that this first one will go quite quickly, as there isn't a lot of actual coding to do, other than text, scene and character changes. There is the cross-examination, but that doesn't seem overly difficult to figure out.

But yes. I'm not going to burn myself out by trying to work on all the cases at the same time or anything ^^ One step at a time is the way to go, and as this is a hobby, not a job, I'd like to keep it fun and entertaining as long as I can.

Want some help with spriting? threads in my sig.
Sad to say, I've left C-R. I may still occasionally come on, but, y'know...
I just lost interest, but, this is still an awesome site.
I'll live on through my sprites, I hope. And my major contributions to the Max fanclub. ^_^
Bye ;_; ^_^

Dredging this up from the dead to announce that I am once more attempting this. I've done quite a bit more investigative work into the game(s) so hopefully I don't paint myself into a corner like I did last time. >.>;

So again, the call is open to any witness-type characters you all have. I'm planning to use Goodman, I believe for most of the third game, as Phoenix will be the apprentice, and thus we can't have him establish a solid working relationship with Gumshoe before he's met the guy, right?

At least, maybe. Perhaps a new detective will appear? Only time can tell for certain. I've also solidified my reasoning of how Mia's power will work.

Spoiler: Case 1-2
In Case 1-2, Grossberg has you examine Mia's bookcase for clues into Redd White. Once there, you find a book that has information written by Mia herself. It says, and I quote:

"'I have tarnished the Fey name.' Leaving only these words, my mother vanished. I was determined to find the ones who had my mother blame herself in this way. Using the E.S.P. that runs in my family, I held an audience with the dead. Finally, the names of two men surfaced. One was Marvin Grossberg(this is why she joins his firm, IMO,) a lawyer who sold my mother's information for riches. The other was the man who sold that information to the press. This parasite, who makes his fortune on threats and coercion...His name is..."


So her E.S.P. power will work to speak with the dead, and I now have a reason for her to find out why she joins Grossberg's firm, and why she leaves so suddenly, as they also state in case 1-2. Soyeah. But questions/comments/concerns/ideas/sprites/etc are fine with me, and I will do what I can to keep on them as best I can.

Thanks for coming to look! ^^

I hope you do find some help with this, as I think this is a great part of the story to tell!

Oh, ho! As a sucker for games that revolve around canon characters whose careers weren't fully explored, I would absolutely love to see this! I'll be making a ton of custom sprites for my Gregory-centered game, so I'd be glad to share some of them with you, if you find yourself in a shortage of sprites :3! I also wouldn't mind making custom sprites for you, as well ~ Those would just take longer. xDD

Again, good luck with your game! /fistpump

Hey, all. I'm new here, though I've been lurking for a while, playing many of the fancases, and in fact have reached out to Saluk to assist with PyWright development.

I would be interested in reviving this game. I sent a PM to Solarius already, but I figured I'd also make a post here in case this sounds like a great (or horrendous) idea to anyone else.

I have some ideas for the overarching stories (which are basically the backstories for the events in the main games) and I have the programming chops, but I need to work out details and I definitely don't have the spriting/evidence modeling talent.

I'd be interested to hear everyone's thoughts.

I'd certainly be happy to see this game revived. This was one case I sort of stalked for a while before I joined Court Records (and seemingly, I still stalk threads without posting stuff, old habits die hard I suppose) and really thought it would be great. Maybe you could get Solarius for some advice during the making of the game, just to keep his original vision throughout the fan-cases.

Is there any way this could be merged with the "Mia Fey Ace Attorney" thread? Like I mentioned, I think I want to take over this project, and it would be nice to have both threads in one place.
