That's... really weird. That's never happened to me before and none of my beta-testers mentioned it. What version of Pywright are you using? Did you perhaps do anything with the game's coding? Has anybody else ever experienced this?

Laurens wrote:-In the walkthrough you skipped a thing after present webb's profile picture.

What section of the game was this in?

Laurens wrote:-I can't inspect the new gained evidence in detail.

Again, this sounds really weird to me, since I've never encountered it. But it's definitely a big bug, since you need some of those detail zooms to solve a few of the contradictions. Could you PM me the contents of your intro.txt and evidence.txt files?

Just discussed Laurens' problems over PM. Apparently, the issue was replacing the intro file and then resuming the game from the same file left over from the first half.

So for anybody else who has this happen: After replacing the intro.txt file, you should start a new game. The new intro file instantly takes you to the beginning of the investigation, so you won't have to worry about that. Trying to resume the old file will create the bugs with the evidence.

Anyone know how to break the 4 question "Second Hacker" I got stuck in that part...

There is a walkthrough in the main Conflict of Interest folder.

I just put out a small update for TOTW. The link in the first post has been changed. It really wasn't that much, but I figured I'd mention it.

Stuff that's changed:

-Fixed the bug in the PM menu that causes the game to crash
-Added a line in the walkthrough specifying you need to click on the site logo to return to the main menu
-Gave a new present option to Togamera
-Changed a few pixels on Miss Mask's mask. It wasn't too much, but it gives a more rounded effect to the eyes.
-Edited a few of the music files so that they're smaller. I knocked about nine megabytes off the total file size.

The following contains information about the recent announcement on GS5. If you're trying to avoid news about the game, skip this entire post.

In short, Maya can time travel... And is apparently immortal as a result.

Okay, A Turnabout Is Worth a Thousand Words is getting pretty close to finished. Depending on how much I procrastinate, it might be another week or two before I call for beta-testers.

In the meantime, I've made a few updates to a few things and I'd like an opinion that isn't my own.

Spoiler: Virgil Black

There's a bit more anti-aliasing around his shoulders and neck, but the main change has been to the eyes. I tried de-Acrotizing him a bit. Basically what I want to know is would this be a good change or did the old eyes suit him better? I'm kind of on the fence with it myself. Old versions on left and new ones on right.

Chum · Post by **Chum** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 3:03 pm

Though you're right about the new ones looking less like Acro, I personally think the old ones suit him more. The new one looks too baby faced and innocent (in my opinion).

Suzune Kazama · Post by **Suzune Kazama** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 3:28 pm

I agree with Chum, though it is a good thing to make him less Acro-like, he shouldn't become too innocent.

Spoiler:

Laurens · Post by **Laurens** » Tue Mar 19, 2013 4:40 pm

I totally agree with them. He looks like he's going to steal your candy in the second and that doesn't suit his character.

A Turnabout Is Worth a Thousand Words will likely be ready sometime soon, so I'm going to be opening sign-ups for beta-testing. Three sounds like a good number.

Hello. I had just downloaded this a couple days ago through the pywright application itself and I can't progress any further.

Sorry, but I already have all the beta-testers I'll need for this case.

Thank you for replying. I thought the game was bugged or something.

Umm I got another problem. I kinda replaced the intro.txt file in the turnabout on the web folder hoping to skip what I already saw (which was the incomplete version I downloaded from the pywright app). Unfortunately I thought it would skip me through the rogue turnabout, and now I'm trying to start a new game on turnabout on the web and it skips me ahead to a point I shouldn't be (2nd investigation?). Would deleting the intro.txt file work?

Yea I'm new to this

Oh? Well, actually I think there's a few issues here:

1) The version of Rogue Turnabout you're able to download directly from Pywright is not complete. It's only (if I recall correctly) the first half or so of it. So you haven't finished that case yet. It will be up to Saluk to update this to its current form, but until then, the one on Mediafire is the only complete version available.

2) The Rogue Turnabout and Turnabout on the Web are two separate cases with their own subfolders and separate coding. So the intro file in one subfolder should not be affected by the intro file in the other. The intro.txt I have listed in this topic allows the player to skip to the second half of TOTW, as I released the case in two sections.

Dreamfighter · Post by **Dreamfighter** » Mon Apr 01, 2013 12:26 am

Umm what I mean is, I finished the Rogue Turnabout. Now when I start a new game for TOTW, it skips me to the 2nd investigation or something. I shouldn't have replaced the intro.txt file with the one you had posted. I want to start at the beginning but it won't let me.

Edit: ah fuck it I'll just download it again and restore the original intro.txt file.

TheBlarghMan · Post by **TheBlarghMan** » Mon Apr 01, 2013 1:46 am

I'm a little confused as to some of the reasoning behind the first case. The main one being...

Spoiler:

Ah well. Outside of a couple things here and there, it's a well done first case. I'm a bit confused as to Phoenix's personality, though. After AJ Phoenix was incredibly calm, collected, sure of himself, and almost indifferent, this game's Phoenix (a year later) seems like he's even less sure of himself and less collected than T&T's Phoenix was. Just a bid of an oddity.

Nevertheless, it's still one of the better fan made cases I've played. I'll get around to the second soon. KUTGW.

Okay, everybody. I know some people have asked for new sprites for Maya and I think it's finally time to unveil her new form. I've been working on this the past few days and I think it's definitely a big improvement. So, please, meet your new Master of Kurain...

Old version on the left, new version on the right.

Spoiler:

Laurens · Post by **Laurens** » Mon Apr 01, 2013 12:56 pm

She looks like a ninja!
I like the sprite in general but not for maya for her I think some more spiritual clothing but not the acolyte's type.

Lonewolfeslayer · Post by **Lonewolfeslayer** » Mon Apr 08, 2013 2:03 am

I got to say played episode One and Two and it was fantastic... to bad I missed the beta but I can't wait for the third installment to come out. Keep up the good work. :D (Also my thoughts on the new Maya... SHES A NINJA?????) :?

Okay, update:

A Turnabout Is Worth a Thousand Words has been in beta-testing for a few weeks. Right now, I'm just waiting on full responses from some of the beta-testers and a few pieces of artwork from Deviantart. I would assume it would be ready sometime soon.

As for the final two cases, Turnabout Consequences and Turnabout into the Unknown...

These are going to be finished at roughly the same time. Their plots are very intertwined, with Turnabout into the Unknown bringing the stories of the four main cases all together in one big ~~convoluted mess~~ grand finale. Basically, I want to make sure that the entire series fits well together and there isn't anything I've left unresolved. So, these two cases are going to be written and worked on simultaneously. They're already pretty much all planned out, I just need to put those thoughts into words. So far there's about 95 pages written on TConsequences and maybe 70 on TitU. As with the first two cases, they're both going to be really long. From the looks of it, TConsequences will probably be around the same length as the first two. The final case will probably end up being about 1.5-2 times as long as Rogue Turnabout was. :udgy:

I can't say how long it will take... But I'm probably going to be much more busy with real life from now on, since I have a full time job and am looking into grad school courses. It will be a while before this is completed. It's very likely that I'll release the first chapter or chapters of TConsequences early. After that, there'll be a bit of a wait until its final half and TiTU are released. Before then, there'll probably be another minor update with some updated artwork and interface stuff.

Artwork from Deviantart just came in. I'm going to discuss a few things with my beta-testers, run through the case again, and then hopefully I can get A Turnabout Is Worth A Thousand Words out later this week.

I've really been enjoying this trial series, which I found through Fuandon's LP of the first case. Look forward to the upcoming release of Case 3!
