Athena Cykes: Ace Attorney - Shards of Equity




Boxart courtesy of AkaneTheHappyLemon (Guy_Lemon_Happy on AAO) - many thanks.


Premise:
Phoenix Wright is not one to dwell upon the past, but today is different. A curious delivery has come to his desk: the archives of the Grossberg Law Offices, his mentor's cases included. Not only that, but reorganising the WAA's own bookshelf after has brought some forgotten cases to light.
When connecting the dots leads him to disappear, Athena Cykes is thrust neck-deep into a twisted plot, dating back sixteen years.
MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ALL MAINLINE GAMES!

Help Wanted!
In need of a keen mind or two—particularly for shaping the mysteries themselves. I’ve penned both in-universe events and player-facing scripts, but the suspense could use a deft touch. A background artist or spriter would also be much appreciated.

The pilot case will be made in objection.lol and AAO, with plans to port to PyWright once I learn the ins and outs. The story is the least of my issues - the important matter is to see something tangible take shape.

A demo will be available... once I can get my studies out the way.

Updates to come; see Progress Reports at the top of the post.

Hi, I'd love to help with your fangame, I really enjoy mystery writing and I've been writing an AA fangame of my own, so I'd love to help you with yours. I really like the idea behind the game, it's a fairly interesting concept, and look forward to seeing the first case. I'd be more than happy to help you brainstorm cases and write out their mysteries, along with helping set up the structure of the cases, when players figure out certain information and when they are supossed to know the anwser behind the mystery.
