At some point, I'm going to make a banner for this, unless someone wants to help.

Ace Attorney Style: Down Below

This game is being created in PWLib. The title of this game is inspired by a few facts. The word style is kind of just something to show that this game centers around a LOT of female characters. I did not notice this until a while into planning, so I changed the name.

Anywho, the second part of the title connects to the personality of the absolute main character, who starts pretty introverted and self-condescending.

Plot:
Spoiler:
The story centers around a new lawyer initially starting her first case (what's new). She is quite nervous, but, in a style similar to Yu-Gi-Oh, transforms when in the courtroom when she gets in the zone. The story takes place in the years 2000-01, approximately 15 years before the events of GS1.

Many of the GS characters make their return (or, in effect, show up for the first time) in the story, albeit fifteen years younger. The underlying theme lies in the transformation of the main character from shy and awkward to a powerful woman through all the events (positive and negative) that happen to her.


MAIN CHARACTERS

In these instances(other than Payne, who is an edit), for the most part, I have initial drawings done on almost every character. However, in making the animations and sprites, I could use help wherever I can get it.

Lisa Tuhee
Spoiler:
(Pronounced Tee) Age: 21
The protagonist in the story. She is the defense attorney (almost) always. Initially begins in her first case, which, to her dismay, is a murder. After a severe mental breakdown, she found herself in quite a jam, but, with her sister's aid, pulled through a series of problems. Through the game she gets stronger and eventually, she may, in turn, save others who have similar problems. Under everything, she is actually more of a genius than her sister, with an I.Q. clocked at just over 200.

Lindsey Tuhee
Spoiler:
Age: 24
Defense Attorney that acts as aide for Lisa's trials. She is Lisa's sister and closest friend through most of Lisa's life. She has been an attorney since the ripe age of fifteen and has participated and won over 400 trials in her 9 year run. In the area, she is the first choice attorney for any case and she does not usually deny opportunities. Over 95% of her clients have been found not guilty on the first day of court proceedings. She has never received a penalty despite her near-contempt of court moments.

Jace Cole
Spoiler:
Age: 26
Lead prosecutor in all cases after the first case. For some reason, Jace has held a bitter resentment for Lindsey for as long as he has been a prosecutor, even though he has never prosecuted a case against her. He is overly inquisitive and has been on the receiving end of many a penalty.

Dami Ion
Spoiler:
ADDING LATER - Age: 36
Initially joins the story as a man accused of murder.

Steffy Ion
Spoiler:
Age: 16
A student in her final year of high school. She has an overly-outgoing personality and is always among friends. However, her tendency to be the center of attention stems from her inability to cope with her issues with dependency. She tends to cry often when someone accuses her of something, true or false, as spends a lot of time with her father.

Tyrell Badd
Spoiler:
Age: 42
The lead detective for all cases. He is rather unlucky, as he tends to find himself in the line of fire for different cases. Still, he has a big heart and is unusually prone to sticking to proceedings in the courtroom.


As of now there are six planned cases, but they're not necessarily an end to the series.


Cases
Spoiler:
Case 1
Attorney: Lisa
Prosecutor: Winston Payne
A body is discovered hanging from a tree by the arms early one morning. The defendant attempts to hire Lindsey the prodigy, but she sends the new lawyer, Lisa, to handle the case in her stead.

Case 2
Attorney: Lisa
Prosecutor: Jace
A man with a huge loan due to his gambling addiction is found murdered in his own home. Apparently, it happened in broad daylight, many heard him, but nobody came to his aid.

Case 3
Attorney: Lisa
Prosecutor: Jace
When a medium is sent to summon the spirit of a man that had recently died, another death ensues at the meeting.


Case 4
Attorney: Lisa*
Aide: Lindsey
Prosecutor: Jace/Manfred von Karma
A man is murdered in an elevator in the midst of his own son. (Sound familiar? Yeah, it's connected to that).
* = Unsolved case; plot-turning even happens.

Case 5
Attorney: Lisa/Lindsey
Aide: Lindsey/Lisa/Grossberg
-In process-

Case 6
Attorney: Lisa/Lindsey
Aide: *Secret*
Prosecutor: Jace
A husband is accused of murdering his wife as he has just become rich through a strange underground deal involving acquiring his two daughters from his ex-wife.


What I have:

Writing 12%-ish - I'm doing well with writing. It's moving pretty swiftly, and the first two cases are almost done.
Sprites 6%-ish - As I explained, I can draw them, but I haven't been able to animate them. Help requested :) Although you don't have to do it for me, a tutor would be beneficial.
Scripting 5%-ish - Umm... I plan on doing the bulk of the scripting myself, but again, aides that are more knowledgeable can be REALLY beneficial in the process.
Sounds 25%-ish - Well, I've made a few themes and the like.

What I Need:
Animations
Voices
Scripting Aid
A Bit of Brainstorming (i.e. Case 3, and maybe a few more when I get to them)
Movies! - Having a hart time starting with this one.
Names - Believe it or not, if anyone isn't worried about knowing some spoilers, I'd send the plot and maybe we can get some good case names.


As of now, I'm working on a demo. I believe I'll make a demo before the trailer, as I'm not good at the trailer thing, yet. Hopefully, the trailer will be in the form of a video, as well.

REQUEST: In making the top half of the opening art (Lisa pointing in "objection pose" with the title underneath) I'm wondering if anyone knows the typical font or word art, etc, used in both the words "Ace Attorney" and "Trials and Tribulations." I wanted to make "Style" match "Ace Attorney" and I wanted to make "Down Below" Match "Trials and Tribulations."
Thanks for any help in advance.
Will eventually make something almost cool!
