Over the past few months, I've been working on the script for the first two cases in a series of mine, and I came to a realization... I am absolutely rubbish in all things art-related. So I'm humbly asking for help from anyone who is good at spriting or art stuff in general...

At any rate, here goes!

Will your game include some new features? Like logic or something like that? We won't be upset if it won't. (I wouldn't. :jake:

) And I want to be beta-tester of game. I helped SilentBobX with his fangame.

I don't have anything of that sort planned at the moment, but I won't rule it out.

You should try to take out the part about Maya being Master. It's nothing, really. But it contradicts the AA story. She was supposed to become Master in four years, I think, after her mother's death.

Good to see you here, Fuandon. The only help I can offer is advice, so I hope you'll take it.

If you're willing to spend money on content for your game, I suggest heading to Deviantart and finding some folks to help with backgrounds and character designs. Or, there might be someone around here that can do that for you. Here's a link to help you get started:
http://hiredeviantartists.deviantart.com/gallery/
Also note, sprite work can be important to your game. Some people will say that visuals aren't everything and if the story's good it's worth playing. Well, I think that's true for a book (a picture here and there is) but we're making games. I think if your going to take on the responsibility to make a game for people to play, you have to put your all into it. If character sprites look misshapen and terrible, and when you put them next to official character sprites, they tend to clash horribly with one another, and that can put people off. The story can be awesome, and great visuals can make it fantastic. Also, try not to use Frankenstein made sprites. (Example: a sprite Phoenix's head on Edgeworth body, and calling him Chuck.) If you really have to though, make sure you get someone who can do a good editing job, like Ceres. As for me, I seeked the aid of artist's on DA, and had them draw poses for characters (Stuart for Example). I took those poses, edit them a touch on Photoshop, converted them to gif's with a limited color palette, and ta-da~. (there's more to it, but I won't ramble on about that.)
Another thing, play the games for 5+ years straight! :godot:

Yeah... that's what I did. I've never really stopped playing Ace Attorney ever since it came out. Through this I've gotten to know Phoenix and co and am able to write them to the point where they don't feel like they're not being written out of character. Also, try not to add in characters if they're not plot relevant. (Example: Jake Marshall in Substitution.) Some people think it's awesome to see, but if it doesn't add anything to the story, besides being a cameo, then there was no real reason to have them in the game at all. (I mean, what if Red White showed up, out of the blue, during the Max Galactica case? "I'm here... Now I'm gone. Fantablorastic!!")At least that's what I think and try to stay away from in my game. And, if you don't have to, don't introduce characters too soon if they don't have to be in the story yet. Sometimes it's good to space things out and wait to introduce characters. (Example: Kay from Investigations.) If they're not the main character, their presence could become stale and unnecessary. It's kinda why I haven't brought Edgeworth out yet in mine.

I see you already have a music list for your game, so I won't tell you not to use them. It is VERY hard to find someone to help with making original music. I only have one original tune in my game, and that's Hawk's theme. As for me, I stuck to using the music for the games. When I hear different music in Ace Attorney fan game, it feels out of place. But that's just me.
I think that's all I can share for now. Good luck with your game, Fuandon. :phoenix:

Much obliged, sir! I could use the advice!

Thanks for the deviantart link! The way you described your process, I think I could pull that off...

The art is easily the part of this project that I'm most worried about! (mainly because it's the part I have the least experience/talent at!)

Ah, I had wanted for one of my new characters to make a brief appearance in an earlier case before he was formally introduced, but I think that might be different from a cameo character showing up and saying "Hey, remember me? Bye!"

And pacing, yes... I'll keep that in mind as I write more!

And the music, I originally didn't intend to use custom music (but then that music list happened! :gant:

)
I'm trying to keep a general consensus of feasibility for the music on youtube!

Again, thanks for the advice!

I gotta say, this looks REALLY good Don. I'm gonna monitor this, and if I can get PyWright to work on my Mac(I assume this is gonna be for PyWright), expect me to play this. I'm loving the effort you're putting into this, and the cases you've put a short summary for look pretty good. Keep up with the punny names too, makes it feel more like a AA game(I.E Manny Wahr being a Man of War yeah?). I'm quite curious as to how you're going to develop Belle, as she seems quite interesting. As I said, I'm looking forward to this, so make us proud Don! ~~Also is Anna gonna look like a certain other Anna from a certain Tactical RPG series that may or may not be Fire emblem?~~

@Ssbmfreak
Yep, last time I checked Don plans to make this with PyWright. Since I'm running Linux, that was kind of important for me to know.

I'm the aforementioned 0ion9. After pummeling the captcha generator a bit -- it seriously generates the hardest captchas I've ever needed to deal with, took me 20+ tries to get through -- I'm finally reregistered and here.
I'll be drawing up some more concept art, poses, etc (no actual sprites until we've got those basics solidly worked out) based on the list/script of Belle Jerant quotes you recently sent me, fuandon. Depending on the policy you opt for -- whether it's best to keep spoilers locked down to a high extent, or whether getting feedback is more valuable -- some of those could end up here.

The additional character info will help too, it's good to be able to imagine all of the characters who are participating in a sequence, not only the one who I'm working on the art for..

I gotta say, as I was listening to the songs, a lot of them fit, and I think they would be good fits, some more than others but still. IMO, I REALLY like Bloody Claws for the Objection! theme. I feel that it fits quite well, with how fast paced it is, while still feeling triumphant and yet it makes you feel like there's something ahead that you don't know about. Very nice!

For my part, I'm doing plenty of drawings for this, but only a few of which I'm remotely happy with. Need more practice, grr.

I've posted a collection of the ones that least piss me off to you, fuandon.. This communication stuff is hard work, I need to keep in contact so our ideas of the character keep getting refined.

@JoekerTrack: It's because his cases are 0-indexed, not 1-indexed. As any sane programmer would expect ;) J/K.

And now we know you are not a programmer :)

(Most languages (eg C, C++, Python, Ruby) are 0-indexed, meaning that the first element in an array is numbered 0. A few languages (BASIC variants, ?Lua?) are 1-indexed -- the first element is numbered 1. Because of the predominance of 0-indexing (for instance, offsets into a file are 0-indexed, even in 1-indexed languages), when you are using a 1-indexed language, you tend to accidentally create off-by-one errors (like seeking to the start of the 5th record when you actually wanted the 4th))

If you meant binary numeral system, then I get it. If not, then no, I am no programmer. My informations teacher sucks at this. And I still don't get case 0. :sadshoe:

Nope, not binary.

It's like this:
You have a list of numbers.. let's say that list is [3, 7, 8, 33, 10, 5], and in the code you assign it to a variable like this:

mylist = [3, 7, 8, 33, 10, 5]

In a 0-indexed language, mylist[0] == 3.
In a 1-indexed language, mylist[0] will cause an error (index 0 is before the start of the array.)

In a 0-indexed language, mylist[1] == 7.
In a 1-indexed language, mylist[1] == 3.

...
In a 0-indexed language, mylist[5] == 5. (the final entry). mylist[6] will cause an error (it's beyond the end of the array)
In a 1-indexed language, mylist[5] == 10 (the entry before the final entry) and mylist[6] == 5

The whole 1-indexed thing is supposed to be more easy for people to understand. Unfortunately, a lot of the underlying arithmetic for array/record addressing is inherently 0-based; this inconsistency leads to a large chance of subtle bugs if you're doing anything non-trivial.

Lately I've found a vast majority of my time taken up by college work... writing papers like crazy. In what time I've had, I've been all 'written out', so I'm trying to get back into the writing part of this...

The first case is actually completely written. Of course, there's still the problem of me lacking the skill to make sprites, although at this point I'm probably gonna try it on my own and see what comes out of it. If I do it myself, don't expect any miracles!

Been learning to code in PyWright, although I should probably focus on sprites for the first case before I start coding.

Well, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Thanks for your time!

Are you really aiming for 6 episodes? Because it seems little...over-confident, maybe. Maximum is 5 cases as I know, for now.

I don't know if you're looking for more tunes for you're game Fuandon, but I found a soundtrack from a game called Rhythm Thief that's pretty awesome:

You know OP I'm not trying to downplay PyWright, but if the art process is getting in your way then I'd advise scripting out part 1 on AAO with the stock sprite characters they have in their editor (to get an idea of how to visually present your case), and then porting the case to PyWright to achieve the best experience possible. It will be alot easier for people (mainly artists) to understand how to create OC's that fit characterizations you've written, even though you're using stock sprites.

Or just ditch the AAO idea and stick with stock AA sprites in general when developing for PyWright.

I'm actually attempting this as we speak, although I actually have sprites for one of the characters in my first case. I'll update as I make significant progress.

I did realize that I don't actually have a "pre-trial" theme, any thoughts?

If I were you I wouldn't be worried about non-essential details until you have the main groundwork done (actual scripted events+graphics implemented).

Music can always be done later.

I'm just about ready to give up on this project. It was way too ambitious of me to begin with. I simply don't have the time to put into this project anymore. At most, I could probably finish the first case and release it as a stand-alone case. I might take the rest of my case ideas for this project and turn them into a fan fic or something, not sure yet. I'm a writer by trade; I might keep taking case ideas and writing them on my own, but the development is a bit too much to handle on my own. I sure have a new appreciation for guys like SilentBobX, Cardiovore, and Ropfa and the amount of work you all put into your fan cases! Heck, I haven't even had the time to LP the new case parts released recently! (for those who know me from youtube). I'm planning on getting to it in a few days, so you can look forward to that!

That's a shame, Fuandon. I hope you're not too discouraged by not being able to do the whole project. Do please show us what you were able to do when you get the chance.
And yeah, it is a daunting task to tackle one case, let alone a whole batch of cases. Sometimes, I do feel like giving up with all the stress I have either working on the game, or just real life stuff going on. But I can't really do that, knowing alot of folks play my game and enjoy to a large extent. Anyway, sorry to hear you won't be working on this anymore. :jake:

Shame to hear that. I'm just about finished with Turnabout on the Web, so after that I can probably help you with whatever sprite work you need to finish up your first case.

Sorry to hear you've abandoned your game, fuandon.
Silentbob is right though, I completely understand how daunting it can feel to produce a series of cases, especially when you have such a large goal and it can just seem like you're miles away from reaching it. Lord knows I've often felt like giving up whenever I hit a wall our if I just felt too stressed.
In any case, sorry to hear that you've decided to discontinue it. :/

So... I don't want to give up on this so easily. That, combined with the death of Larry Hagman (inspiration for Manny Wahr), and the fact that I'm a writer by hobby, led me to decide that I'm at the very least gonna keep writing my cases! If you check back to the first post of this thread, you'll find I posted links to all the text I've written: Case 0, and about 60% of Case 1. Feel free to read at your leisure!

Oh, and if any of the links act up for whatever reason, do let me know and I'll fix! I'll keep updating as I write now!

Trial Part 2

Case 1: Turnabout In The Works

Part 2 - Investigation Day 1
Part 3 - Trial Day 1
Part 4 - Investigation Day 2
Final Part - Trial Day 2(In Progress)
