Hello there; I am The Steel Samurai, (also known as Hummingbird of Doom or different variations of "Smarties" - you might know me as a genderbending "11-year old girl" on another forum =P) and I am bringing you my Ace Attorney fangame, mainly to get comments and feedback, but also in hopes that having a thread for this will motivate me to work harder on it. I first played Phoenix Wright last November and before I knew it, I had played through both the original trilogy as well as Apollo Justice. It was not long after I had gotten into PW that I found out about various casemakers so I started searching for something that you could technically make a full PW game with. I finally settled with PyWright and have not regretted it. I first began planning a serious project in early January and had already thought out a backstory for the main character, but scrapped the idea as the story and setting of Alexander Ward began forming in my head. The intention with this game is to build a story that ties together with GS 1 - 4, while still providing a full standalone experience. So, without further ado: (with neat spoilers so that you yourself can choose what you want to know and to reduce the size of the post)

I especially like how you detailed the work you've done so far - thinking it through beforehand is the only way to succeed when it comes to making fangames.
You might need some help with the graphics, though. Most projects die because of a lack of adequate graphics. If you can convince talented spriters to join the team, everything will be much easier.

Anywayz, I have a case idea that I've been saving for a project of mine that will probably never get done, so I wouldn't mind sharing it xD It's from the prosecutor's POV and uses some original cast characters, so it would need to be adapted...but pm me if you're interested.

is in it!It seems like you have gotten a lot of details down, which is the right way to do things. I also hope you get some spriters, I am not one :( Actually some days I wish I was a graphical type person instead of a coder. In another life maybe :)
Good luck with Alexander Ward! (even though it sounds like a pile of monkey poop plzdontignoremekthxbye)

Ward's face needs work, particularly the part under his nose sticking out.

Besides, does it matter? 9 out of 10 game projects never see the light of day.
(not blaming anyone or pointing fingers, just remarking on the fact) , so the chances of 2 actual fangames with the same name getting finished are slim at best.

The plot seems to be fairly along the way, which is good.

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 ;_; ^_^

Anyway, it doesn't come with an editor or a case - use updater.exe to get a test case, and learn WrightScript to make your own.

3. I don’t want to hear anything like “why did you choose PyWright over [Insert any other casemaker here].” I have my reasons for using PyWright and I don’t care how zomgwtf awesome PWLib is – I’m staying with PyWright and that’s final.
I've never noticed this sort of speech anywhere else, except in the KSA vs everyone epidemics we've seen.zomgwtf awesome PWLIB
Each casemaker has their merits so you're welcome to use whatever you wish, but I find that statement daft. PWLib is not awesome, it's a library for Phoenix Wright games on the AIGE engine. Just like PyWright is a (correct me if I'm wrong) plugin/library to make Phoenix Wright games using the Python engine or AADS is making it's own engine that speaks to native Nintendo DS hardware. None is better than the other they just offer different options.
A simple comparison is this, you are given 3 different ways to tackle a door without breaking the law.
Walk INTO it - and not get anywhere. This rewards you with pain and a sense of stupidity these values can sum into a comical value.
Walk AWAY from it - and ignore it. This rewards you by either offering an alternate path or an obstruction to something you were uncertain of, allowing you more time to think of it.
Walk THROUGH it - and go inside. This rewards you with whatever may be on the other side of the door.
If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything!

I never noticed this line (not that I was really walking into much topics and caring about people's recent ideas), but all I can say is: reason is one thing. Been disrespectful is totally other way around.
I don't care why you use PYWright (but I can easily guess why), and not even will care if you even post it. But you should still look a bit more respectful to PWLib, even if you don't use it.
Also I stated many times to many people: PWLib is not the awesome part. I consider AIGE the one. And what we use here? PWLib, not AIGE directly. So case closed.

I agree that his phrasing could have been better, but then again, Am i the only one seeing the irony here?
He asked not to discuss it, yet no one seems to care.
If you must, why not take it to Pm?

Not to back-chat or anything. I disagree with KSA's post but mine was making a valid point. But if you feel they are not appropriate in the topic. Then feel free to partake in the moderators ability to delete those posts, I will not judge you nor take any ignorance towards those posts being removed from the topic. I was not discussing (his/her) choice of PyWright over PWLib. I was stating against the stereotype that was apparently around and I personally felt it was an injustice for that reason to be in there in that fashion.

I was merely remarking on the fact that this can be a touchy subject, and I just don't want to see yet another thread filled with this discussion.
Don't worry about me editing posts, I'm not being an ogre here :p, Only when or if people request it (or it's getting out of hand) I'm inclined to step in. (Well, me and Gerk that is XD)

Yeah, I can sorta see where KSA and Khat are coming from here. All that drama's done now, and we tightened the rules. To ignore people asking legitimate questions is pretty rude, and you really don't have to do our job for us.
If I came off as rude, I apologize. In no way do I think PWLib is inferior to PyWright, but I personally find the latter more enjoyable to work with. Neither am I trying to do your job for you, I'm merely trying to steer the discussion off the subject so that the moderators wouldn't need to interfere. I've dealt with enough people on the internet to know that discussions tend to get out of hand when opinions clash, and far too many times have I seen it end rather messily. That said, anyone who feels the need to further discuss the matter with me can drop me a pm.

Indeed my wording was poor and I apologize to anyone who misunderstood me. I'll change the phrasing to avoid any future misunderstandings. And everyone, can we please just put this behind us?

It's not easy to come up with names, I'm afraid. And at least there is some difference between the names "Alex" and "Alexander."

You did indeed make a valid point and I think I've explained myself quite clearly earlier in this post. I have nothing against PwLib (or KSA_Tech for that matter) - in fact, I think it's an amazing casemaker, but I personally prefer PyWright.
