It's supposed to come out on Christmas because that's when miracles are supposed to happen. It would be a miracle if I can pull off a Christmas release, plus it would be a great gift back to the Ace Attorney community.
I feel I owe you guys something because of all the awesome fan-made stuff you guys made that makes this community so great.
Except in this case, the miracle will happened.

Meh, I tried. As I probably have stated earlier, spriting's not exactly my thing...
Anyway! I'm going to announce a few new weapons never before seen in Ace Attorney!

It doesn't look too bad, does it?

I-I mean this is a very unique idea you got there. Can't wait for the demo to come out.

These are the current 'character selection buttons'. If a character has yet to be unlocked or implemented, their icon will have a psyche-lock over it.

Yay!
Things seem to be coming along rather nicely, but not at the pace that I think we need to be at for the demo to be released come Christmas time. I'm considering allowing others to join the development team because I feel that I've too many things to focus on at the moment and they're getting me somewhat distracted...
Notice how the last few updates were all about sprites and whatnot? That's kinda what I'm talking about. I've been spending so much time on sprites and general dilly-dallying that I've somewhat neglected coding the actual game.
So, I come to you, Court Records, for some help. I need someone (or a group of people) to help design the 8-bit sprites, evidence icons, locations and interface for the time being until I'm done with the general mechanics. They don't really have to be that great either, as I could fix them up when I'm done, but I would prefer it if they looked somewhat aesthetically pleasing and captured the essence of the project so I don't have to go back over them.

Well, you might just be in luck! You can email me at sincereserpent@gmail.com and I can see what I can get you to do for me. (If you're still up for it of course!)
Also, for anyone that is interested, I made a google form that will allow you to write snippets of random dialogue that you may hope to see in the game. It would help me so much in terms of truly emulating the Ace Attorney experience, so please don't neglect to post something there.

Play as your favorite Ace Attorney characters as you interact with the vast world of Japanifornia. Each scene is to be crafted with great attention to detail and lore in this retro side-scrolling, murder mystery generator. After a murder has been performed (by your hands or the hands of others), you may choose to prosecute against the defendant, defend the accused or testify in court, using a unique system that allows certain statements to be generated from an evidence/alibi list to build your own testimony as you wish to.
Planned Releases:
[The following dates are subject to change.]
Version 0.2 (Game Mechanics Demo) - 25/12/15
Version 1.0 (All PW:AA Characters/Locations/Evidence) - TBA
Version 2.0 (All PW:JFA Characters/Locations/Evidence) - TBA(More to come later maybe. I know this is probably not how they should be set out, but meh.)
Version 0.2 Progress:
(Still getting this post set up. I'll add more to it later.)

Spoiler: Locations: ~33.33%
Spoiler: 8-Bit Sprite Progress (Not counting reverse images)

Interesting concept youv'e got here, would it be like a sandbox-ish style thing or revolves around story?

It's pretty much a sandbox, but the trial phase will follow a story that is set by everyone's actions in the sandbox phase.

Spoiler: Latest Update
So far, not a whole lot more to show. The trial mode has been started. The text automatically appears like it does in the games. I don't think I can change text speed or play sounds mid-sentence, but I can do pretty much all of that just before a character starts to speak, so expect Oldbag to retain her signature motormouth during rambling sections.
To my surprise, Unity is a very valid case-maker. It just requires a touch more effort than most of the others (in my opinion).

Followed by a story set by the actions in the sandbox phase? So something like a TellTale Game?

Well, TellTale games still follow a specific narrative, albeit with minor variations to the plot. Take 'The Walking Dead' for instance.

Edit: In that sense, it's pretty much TellTale games on steroids.

So to put it in a nutshell: Ace Attorney meets Telltale meets sandbox meets pixles.

My computer started leaking late last year, so we had to return it. Unfortunately, I hadn't backed up my progress on the game, so it was lost forever...
Or so I thought. Turns out they could put all of the game's data onto a disk that I could use to recover everything.
The only problem though is that I don't have a disk tray on my computer. Aaaaanyway, I got me a portable hard drive that I can use now just in case this happens again, but the thing is that I need to use another computer to copy the data onto it, so I haven't even checked to see if the data was successfully transferred or anything.
Long story short:
The game's still in development, but it's gonna be a while until I can start working on it again.

Is this still being worked on? Or is it dead? Really want to play it.
Alrighty, after all of that time on hiatus, I'm back to working on the game again. I copied over the game from the backup I made and it's missing a sizeable chunk of the progress I had made, but that doesn't matter. It's getting an overhaul anyway.
I've had a lot of stuff to deal with in real life like my job, relationships and depression, but I feel like I am in a good spot at the moment, so I am resuming development of this game.
Anyway, The Dark Age of the Law is going to be simplified somewhat and some features will be left out for the moment until I have the basic game ready to play. That means that I am going to have to cut out dynamic murders for the time being, so I can work on the rest of the game first. I know it's probably the biggest selling point of this game, but don't despair! It will probably be added later on in the development of this game.
As for now, I am going to be working on the campaign mode of the game, which will allow up to two local players to investigate crime scenes and participate in court.
I'm thinking about having it so that during the trial phase, one person goes defense and the other goes prosecution and their goal is to present evidence to progress through the trial until the truth comes out. Because this is a linear story and to prevent getting an easy win by deliberately losing as the prosecution, I'm thinking about getting the judge to declare a not guilty verdict, but then it fades to black and says that the truth was lost for all eternity or something. You'd lose like you would in a game (as either side), with a depleted life gauge.
Anyway, I hope that you're not mad at me for dropping off the grid like that for so long! I'm not gonna give up on this thing just yet!
More updates to come when they're done!
