Post subject: | Turnabout of a Legend (PyWright) Case 1 Complete! |
Hiya all! SpeckledMoose here. I've always wanted to make a fancase... I've been a big admirer of the two Goliath fangames - Contempt of Court and Conflict of Interest, as well as all of DWaM's cases. Until this pandemic, I've never had the time to really sink my teeth in however. But with so much free time, I finally decided to have a go at an idea I've had for a long time. And so I present to you all the first case, or 'Chapter' of Turnabout of a Legend! I'm also proud to announce that I myself scored every single track that appears in this fan-case, aside from one theme from Justice for All. (Note that the score is inspired by and uses motifs/themes from the canon releases.) Some of them are pretty rusty, and I'll definitely polish them more along with everything else later! I've also made most of the art assets myself, so please give any feedback on those too! This first chapter/case is now finished, and I'd say it's approx 5 hours in total length. Walkthrough included. Spoiler: Premise Spoiler: Screenshots Spoiler: New Cast Spoiler: Download and Installation Version 0.989 of PyWright is highly recommended for this case! It's what I developed the case with, so I can't vouch for other versions to work with it. This version is present in Conflict of Interest. After you've downloaded both, place Turnabout of a Legend into the 'games' folder. Spoiler: PyWright 0.989 Download After you've downloaded, extract the .ZIP file. Then, move the extracted folder into the 'Games' folder of PyWright. You should be able to then access it from the menu. Spoiler: Bugs Spoiler: Credits And If anyone wants to help me in continuing this project, people good with art or just general writing and coding, please don't hesitate to contact me here! Thank you - SM343 |

Extremely impressive, especially the score. I had to ferret out the Investigation Core theme so I could listen to it again just because of how much I liked it. The dialogue is also top tier, it's refreshing to see a fangame with actual characterization instead of "everyone is Phoenix or Edgeworth or Gumshoe". The sound design is incredible as well. As for the art - I like Athena's new design, though the sprites themselves are somewhat rough around the edges. The new characters have somewhat bland designs, in my opinion, but Kasim and Jade are very emotive and there's a lot of potential there. All in all, this is a very impressive and honestly pretty exciting project. I'm eager to see what you do with this! |

After being As I deliver my thoughts on the game, I will delve into spoilers, so be warned if you haven't finished this yet. Spoiler: "Writing" Spoiler: "Gameplay and Mystery" Spoiler: "SFX, Music, Art" Spoiler: "Bugs" Overall, though I have several criticisms, I enjoyed the fangame and I'm looking forward to how it will continue. Sorry if the message looks rushed at certain portions, I actually ended up rewriting this three times, because I'm a bit of an idiot. Take my suggestions with a grain of salt, I'm just some random shmuck on the Internet. |

Take my suggestions with a grain of salt, I'm just some random shmuck on the Internet. First of all, I'd like to really thank you for taking the time to play my little case but also to give your feedback. It's so so so helpful because as a creator sometimes you can be blindsighted to a lot of the issues you're making, and it takes someone else to show you the way. Been as most of your criticisms seem to stem from the actual crime, I'll do my best to answer some of your issues without spoiling my design for the rest of the case. Spoiler: Spoilers With all that said, I'm super glad you enjoyed it (for the most part) And I'll definitely consider your critiques. I'm planning to upload a 'fixed' version of part one without the bugs, and some of the trial changed (along with a much needed spell-check). And I plan to release part two at the very latest by Christmas (Hopefully sooner!) If you're open to have a dialogue about the case and test it, please message me either here or on discord (speckledmoose343). |

Hey, uh, got an issue trying to load the game. It kind of just loads the "choose your case" screen, but without any buttons, and if I click anywhere on it, it just shuts down PyWright. lastlog.txt file contents below. Spoiler: Error Log |

Spoiler: Error Log what version of PyWright are you running? Update: FIGURED IT OUT. For some reason, when I downloaded ToaL, it had another "Turnabout of a Legend" folder inside the "Turnabout of a Legend" folder, so when it tried to find the art folder, it was looking for "Turnabout of a Legend/art" when the art was in "Turnabout of a Legend/Turnabout of a Legend/art". It took me like an hour and a half to do it, but boom shakalaka. I hope I like the case! |

I'm very salty because I wrote out a 2,000-word review and it logged me out before I could post it. EDIT: The person who wrote a review above pretty much covered most things I thought of. Okay, so, things I wanted to add to the above person's review: Spoiler: Criticisms Spoiler: Positives Overall, I really enjoyed the case, despite the flaws in the mystery and plot (and the typos... please use Google, I beg you), and somehow, despite all of those, it's up there with the "list of fan cases that Ash has enjoyed significantly more than the majority of them" (which means it's in my top 1/4 or so of cases I've played, nice achievement!). I'm very excited for what's to come. Spoiler: My Theory Wow, this really ended up being almost 2,000 words as well. |

Hi Everyone! Part 2 of Chapter 1 is now completed and playtested. Download is available above. If you played part 1, there's a guide to help you skip to part 2 if you'd like. However, Due to some minor yet key logistics changes to do with the crime and setting, I'd highly advise you replay part 1 if you so desire. |

Ok, I got back to where I left off and kept playing from there. Just finished Trial 1 and stopped for now I will say: I love how the Objection theme has both Apollo's and Phoenix's leitmotifs |

This could be a great case and it indeed had a great set up and everything which I enjoyed all the way up to the second trial. But that said, the second trial was where I have issues with when it comes to how we're able to present our case. Spoiler: It's still fairly enjoyable overall, it's just that this issue made the trial fairly frustrating. |

Overall it's a good case for first case, the music too is very cool. The issue for me maybe about athena sprite, i know you do that alone. I suggest maybe you can try use Athena sprite from Rajin and MercurialSK from here |

The google drive download no longer seems to work! Any chance of updating the link, or if someone could reupload it? |
