Rather watch it than play it? I've got you covered: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa4OkmpbQHda8JmlGnuYmy949mM4uOyvr

Premise:
Set just a few weeks after Spirit of Justice, Phoenix Wright and his friends take on five brand new cases! Meanwhile, a notorious serial killer has come out of hiding to target Miles Edgeworth. Can Phoenix figure out who this killer is before they come after Edgeworth himself? And does the fact that a prosecutor from his past has returned have anything to do with this current dilemma?

This game will spoil major plot points from AA1-AA6, although I am doing my best to keep the Spirit of Justice and Dual Destinies spoilers to a minimum. The trilogy and AA4 spoilers are unavoidable though.

Here are some basic summaries of the cases:












I'm developing this on PyWright and writing almost all of it. The story itself is pretty solidified, though I'm sure I'll be tweaking it here and there. I want it to be a full length game and I have experience making games before. If there's anyone in the Jacksepticeye community here, I'm the dev behind The BOSS. I've also made other games in that universe, but this is my first time making a VN. I've been writing for over 2 decades and studying these characters to write them as accurately as possible.

As for content warnings, it's a little darker than the mainstream games but I can't think of anything especially triggering. I'd say a solid T, not too extreme but not super light either. No extreme language, no gore. One case in particular is definitely a tear jerker (I know because I've actually teared up while writing it, and I've never done that before in over 20 years as a writer).

Stay tuned for updates. I am looking to commission artists too (I'm a writer, not an artist, unfortunately), so let me know if you want to help out!

That seems to be just about everything I can say at this point. Please let me know what you think if you've played it!

Saw the video of the first scene. Gotta say, looking pretty good so far. Excited to see where this goes.

Case 2: Turnabout Ladies Night will be out TOMORROW! So keep your eyes peeled for it and expect a pretty fun time. I'm not going to promise that case is anything spectacular, but I do think it's pretty good for a first case and I had a lot of fun making it.

It's out! Check the main post for the link to download it. I hope you like it. :)

Case 1: The Turnabout Method is complete and uploaded, so now you can play both of them! Just... let me know if you like it. I haven't gotten much feedback, which is fine but I was just hoping it was enjoyable.

Yo, I loved the game and I think it has a lot of potential. It does a really good job of hooking you in. I also really liked how the characters looked and how varied the responses were depending on which profile you submitted and which character you were talking to. Overall, I'm still very curious as to where the story is headed. Wish you guys the best!
PS: btw where do you get the most recent version of PyWright?

Impressive how fast you're churning out these cases.

I'm really glad you liked it! I worked really hard on this game and it's great to see others enjoying it. I loved writing the profile dialogue! Try submitting character profiles when specifically asked things like "which character did [thing]?" or "who do you want to call to the stand?" because I have written a lot of goofy dialogue for that very purpose. Like you can literally present any profile for a unique response in The Turnabout Method when Athena is prompted to bring someone to the stand. And yes, this includes herself, the victim, and and character who is currently on the stand. I love little touches like that, and case 4 has a scene like that, but I can't provide details because spoilers.

To answer your question, the most recent version of PyWright was developed specifically for T&C. In fact, I've just uploaded 0.99.2, which isn't strictly required to play T&C but it does contribute to the experience. The only real change is core.py in the core folder, so you could always just paste that in and then delete if you wanted to. I've also updated The Turnabout Method because I got some comments about how Athena wasn't getting enough time to shine and I kind of agreed. The biggest difference is the opening scene, which I uploaded to the SPG youtube channel anyway and the rest is just minor dialogue changes and a few more small gameplay sections, nothing major.

I appreciate the compliment, but I think The Turnabout Method could have been better when I initially released it. I only spent about a month and a half on it vs. 4 months on Turnabout Ladies Night. Both of which only have one trial. Case 3 (which I'm still working on) has gotten to the first trial, but it'll be a while. I'm hoping it'll be out in a couple months. Case 4, on the other hand, I've already done quite a bit of it so the wait might not be as long between 3 and 4. Anyway, hope you enjoyed the game!
