Ok, so i'm making a fangame which takes place after the first Apollo Justice game. It's called Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney - Checkmate. So called because the series of cases revolves around a prosecutor who is obsessed with chess (I have a sprite of him in my sig).
The game will have obsolutley no connection to any of the previous Ace Attorney games and will use new characters apart from: Apollo, Phoenix, Trucy, Ema, Payne for the first case and Klavier makes an appearance. There will be 6 cases in all except the 3rd case will be a filler.
I was wondering if people could try out what i've done so far and give me feedback.
Also the first case was also my second ever serious trial that I made so it might be a little awkward but I think I did a good job of the second one.
Case 1 - Turnabout Righteous - http://aceattorney.sparklin.org/jeu.php?id_proces=3782
Case 2 - Turnabout Wrighteous - Part 1 - http://aceattorney.sparklin.org/jeu.php?id_proces=4766
Case 2 - Turnabout Wrighteous - Part 2 - In Progress
EDIT: I'm well aware that certain character sprites in the game are rubbish. I plan on changing them as I progress.
My Plans
Case 1 - Turnabout Righteous
Basically this is the case that sets up the entire game. This is a short case in which you lose and the rest of the game revolves around the defendant being sentenced to excecution for a murder she didn't commit.
Case 2 - Turnabout Wrighteous
Mr. Wright goes missing. Last seen at near the scene of a murder. Also a continuation of the first case.
Case 3 - The Turnabout Betrayed Me - Filler
Murder takes place in a room. Two people were inside the room, one of the people gets stabbed. There is only one entrance/exit to the room and it requires a keycard and fingerprint to enter. Only 4 people had keycards that could access the room. The other 2 people had alibis. I think this case is geniusly thought out, personally.
Case 4 - Twisting the Turnabout
Basically this is the case that leads up to the final murder of the game. I have it all planned but I can't say anything about it.
Case 5 - For Valentines Day I give you, A Turnabout
This is a flashback case. Which explains lots of unanswered questions in the game and sets up the last case.
Case 6 - Checkmate! My Final Game of Turnabout
Final case. All planned out.

A couple of things that need fixing I guess: At the first part of the trial you can't see the prosecutor and defence's benches, just Payne and Apollo's sprites, floating on air.
Also, when Payne presents the map or Trucy the letter, they're also on the screen so you can't really read those. (I guess those two might be mistakes that have to do with how the application works and not really your fault, but I thought it'd be better to say them anyway)
On another note, I'm not sure about being not sure if I like the judge's choice to be called by first name.
His objecting was fun though!Quite interesting case anyway, I liked Phoenix getting involved too. And if you're going to change the OC's sprites to better ones, it'll be really good, but you already know that. The guy in your sig looks hot, is he in the second case? I'm gonna play it to find out, I guess.

The benches not being there are to do with the website not me however the fact the prosecutor is in the way of the diagram is to do with the fact that the case maker was recently updated from v3 to v4 which cause a few things to go wrong, i will fix it.
Also the prosecutor you see in my sig is in the second case.
@Bad Player
Just think of my crap sprites as placeholders until I make the actual ones. lol.

anyway just a few things in my opinion, that haven't been said already
I've never heard anyone say "move country" as far as grammar goes..."moving to another country" sounds more better. True that either way it makes sense but still.
Also
Spoiler: 4-4 spoilers
Good luck with this project, I look forward to a challenge!

there may be one or two grammatical errors and I'll hopefully get round to correcting them all.

I was thinking about having this case run under the jurist system like another test trial or something. i thought it would be very interesting since in this case it seems impossible for anybody else to have done it, until the very end.
There may be some continuity errors since this isn't exactly a continuation of AJ1 but a new story.

EDIT: I might be using some more HD music in my cases. For now i'm using serenity as a theme for both of my prosecutors. (Prosecutors are in my sig.)

THose guys are pretty good, actually, if a bit... Greyscale...
They're meant to be like that. Notice how one is darker than the other? Kinda like the white and black sides of a chess board (and the prosecutor on the left is a chess addict, he calls Apollo a pathetic pawn...). Also they're the complete opposite of each other, the first is calm and collected while the second one is hot-headed and stubborn.

If you're going to use HD music, you simply MUST use On the Rocks for a critical testimony at least once. That tune is awesome, man. Or do something with it, but make sure to use it.
I've remixed it... alot. And plan on using it for testimonies in the last case. (I made a moderate and allegro version.)

Might I suggest for the (non prosecutor) OC sprites using some existing sprites as placeholders.
My suggestions:
Talos: Guard Larry
Ino:Vera
Mauvais: Engarde
Barney: none really fit very well, but I'd advise using young phoenix, Ron or perhaps Wocky.
Doing this would really help the visual side, which is the main thing I think this is lacking at the moment.

Anyways, I did a palette swap on Vera to make her more similar to the OC. This is her main pose, but I remember Ino only having one pose anyway. If you decide to use existing chars for the OCs feel free to use this.

While I find Klavier's prescence completely unnecessary, it was good. Keep it up.
I'll be playing the second case now. ^_^

Maybe you should try fusing preexisting sprites

Phoenix takes over in a few too many places. In particular:
Spoiler: "Contradiction"
The penalty system seems to be bugged for me.
Case 1 has a few ambiguities, and a really unfortunate wording in the testimony where...
Spoiler: "SPOILER"
The "There's a contradiction" option after the recess bugs out and puts us in a loop.
For some reason, the crude sprites didn't bother me much. Maybe I'm just a text-focused person. But if you're going to have those sprites, it might be nice to animate them more.
If you'd like a script editor to check for grammar, wording, and so on, I'd love to offer my services.
For some reason, the ending of case 1 left me with the impression that:
Spoiler: "???"

Thankyou, this is the kind of response i was hoping for. I feel that the reason some fan cases don't go well is because they are worded badly and the player gets confused and lost so I wish to make sure that the player understands fully what's going on.
Spoiler: That's right... Spoiler!
Anyway thanks for the feedback. I'll be sure to go over the first case and correct what you found hard to understand when i get the time. For now though i'm a little occupied so it may be a while until i really can carry on with my project.
