XImplosionX: Probably not. There's simply no need. If anyone were to alter the engine, users would need to download new case players, most likely. It'd get too confusing. I'll be the one to update the engine after its initial release.

DarzieP, thanks. I just hope Fran's whips aren't aimed at me!
Just take my word that I'll make it as user-friendly as possible. And thanks for your positive words too, The Hyde.I must say, it's all been a bit of a pain lately as my PC with the newest version of the source code went dud. So I'm making it with my laptop currently. I have to do a bit of work to get it back to where it was but I'm going to give it my all.

Not only inappropriate, but let's say if someone wanted to write a love letter with a case, it's personal, and they wouldn't want it displayed.
I have a question on how the character frames will be handled, and I'm not sure if the issue has been adressed before.
So are there seperate picture files for characters talking? Like, is the blinking/talking frames of the animation in one file, or will it be handled differently, like "play talking animation when talking, play blinking animation all other instances", or "play this part of the animation when talking, play that part of the animation when not"?
Sorry if that wasn't clear.
Oh, and the "make me a supporter" was a figurative phrase. You can't like put a pin on me that says, "I like Shaun's Case Maker".
^ I just had to use that smiley.

I plan for the user to put animations in folders, with a number for each frame (i.e. 1.png, 2.png, and so on). The app will deal with this anyway.
You won't have anything you can use any time soon, but maybe I'll release a video in a couple of weeks.

Hey, first post here. Anyway, pal, maybe you should put this idea on a list somewhere for thought when you have finished this project. A java-version or one that can be multi player so you can go head-to-head with a real opponent. Think about it, pal!

I don't think multiplayer would work either. It would just as good as consulting a friend about a tricky part of the game. Co-counsel like.

Can't wait till this comes out. Good luck on making this!
I have one question though...
Will you be able to merge your cases into one game, for example I make four cases. Will I be able to put these four cases into one game? Like so that they are unlockable and it has a title screen too?
And again, GOOD LUCK!

Yes. This is exactly what I had in mind from the start. Thanks!

Thanks for your nice words, and thanks to DarzieP's for his too. It's understandable if anyone wants to see progress. I wish work didn't exist. I am a little busy lately, but I haven't forgotten about you guys. Expect some new images. Not immediately, but soon.

1. When you are given the option to answer a question, by let's say the Judge, will you be able to have the normal three choices AND be able to present evidence and people? This would help without wasting a choice that says "Present Evidence". You can do that by the Court Records thing in the upper right.
2. Can you do anything even remotely similar to, in Gyakuten Saiban 2, Phoenix throws Edgeworth the phone? Or, if you can't do that, can there be courtroom panning sprites?
3. Can you have more than three choices when presented with an option to do something?
4. How will sound effects work? Will each sprite be tied to a sound, or is there some sort of timeline where you must entire the sound for each animation? If the first option, will that be changeable whenever you want (like you want a particular sprite to be linked to a different sound than you used earlier, while keeping the original sound)?

I don't see how that'd be difficult. It's just a generic phoenix point followed by a "TAKE THAT".

1. Probably. Behind the scenes, the evidence and profiles are just values that are compared. It's not too difficult. I'd only be able to allow so much customisation though.
2. I imagine so. I want to make the engine work with events, and lots of checkboxes and values you can change, etc., for each event. You'll be able to change the animation of a character and make it immediately scroll. So, yes, I'd think so. Let's just see how it goes, eh?
3. I was thinking about this. It'd be hard to fit a next button on the screen, so maybe I'd have a blinking arrow, and you'd be able to press the arrow keys to proceed.
4. At the beginning of each event, you'd be able to select a few sounds and specify how many seconds after the event has started the sound plays. There'd be other options too, like "animation has finished", etc. In short, it'll be simple.

This seems like quite a daunting task. This may seem blunt, but do you really intend to go all the way with this? As in- would it be a good idea for me to actually do some serious work on cases ive thought up, or should i wait for a few more months and check back?
PS- if you do do this, will you be able to control the speed, color, ect. of the text? Because i think that that is what makes phoenix wright phoenix wright (okay that didn't make to much sense but oh well
)Good luck in any case, im rootin for you

And HyperJerk, not to bust your chops, but this is Shaun's project, he can do whatever he wants with it., He can cancel it if he wants. Don't try to influence him or push him by "putting weight on his shoulders".
A. That statement tends to build up tension.
B. If you truly cared abouit the series dying, you'd make one yourself or hire someone to do it.
C. Since you're not doing it, you don't know what it's like to make the case creator; only the select few who are doing it know.
Sorry for lashing out at you...
Anyway, Shaun, I'm happy with all of your answers, nothing I didn't want to hear. =P

While you're kind of right, rtsmarty, the evidence picture in the upper right moves to the center and spins around in while the courtroom pans to Edgeworth. While spinning, it also zooms in or zooms out, I can't remember.
Hmm, I'm quite sure the whole spinning evidence thing is a generic "TAKE THAT" thing. I'll just check...

Apparently not. Whoops, sorry.

HyperJerk, I completely acknowledge the weight on my shoulders. I am only sharing this project with the slightly-small Phoenix Wright fanbase, here at Court Records for now. (Well, small as opposed to the large amount of Phoenix Wright fans across the world.) I plan to make bigger announcements when I make real progress.
And, to answer Brandon's question too, I'm afraid that probably won't be any time in the next few months. I have a colossal amount of work to do to make this project work, and that's with a forty-hour job I must do. I may be leaving the job soon though, due to certain issues... If that happens, I'll have some free time left. Even if I stay for now, I intend to spend at least a couple of hours a day on it. And yes, everything will be customisable.
Thanks MJ - it is indeed a tough project. I can understand people's limits of patience, but no, this isn't easy. I don't have all the resources I want - e.g. the Internet. But this is still all very possible. I don't give up so easily.

Question though:
Will this be closer the RPG maker game series or to Game Maker/MUGEN
RPG Maker has a bunch of tools with it and pretty much does all the programming for you
Game Maker and MUGEN supply you the engine, but its up to you to do everything else.

Also, I wanted to say it's POSSIBLE (I stress, POSSIBLE!) that there will be a Pocket PC version of the case player, in the fairly distant future. Of course, it would be very much watered down. Just thought I'd let you guys know, as it is a possibility.

Its good to hear this will be much easier. I tried that other case maker, but I like a user-friendly interface. Like if I want to import sprites into the system and then make animations based on the sprites I put in, that's what I like. Not having to do all of it on a seperate program, but if I have to its ok if the rest doesn't involve adding lines of code.

Though I think we're jumping too far ahead - there's not going to be a beta for a long time.
In the meanwhile, I thought of another question, one which will be hard for me to put into words...
Okay, so the desks in front of the witness, defense attorney, and district attorney. Can they be removed or remodeled? For example, taking in my bomb idea from earlier, once the bomb blows up, there would hardly be a fraction of the desk left. So we can see the Phoenix sprite behind what the desks would normally cover. Now, my question - is this possible, given that the sprite maker added in the bottom portion of the sprite that is not normally seen? Or does the tool atomatically delete any portion of the sprite below the desk?
My signature was so bad I removed it. But alas, when I become better in Photoshop, it'll return in full glory. =P
