So yeah, if you can draw your character, scan it in and colour it well, turning it into a sprite is pretty simple. No need to do it pixel by pixel.. such a painstaking method. As you can see the version I came up with using the official art isn't perfect by any means, but by zooming in and cleaning the outlines up a bit it would pretty much be an exact replica of the art style found in the sprites in the game.
Anyway, now to get back on topic.. KanadaKid, I said it before in an email but i'll say it again, this project is exceeding all expectations. I hope the beta will be released sometime soon as i'm itching to make something. With the code that you have on the site already, if I were by some miracle able to compile that, would it be a partially working version of what you plan to release in this beta? What I mean to say is, could I start making my cases in an incomplete version of the editor and play them to a certain extent in an incomplete version of the player? I have a week off starting the 7th of March and I was hoping to get some progress done then you see :)

You could, since the player and editor (at least built with the code in the CVS) will work together. However, the problem is that if you start making your case now, it may not work once the beta comes out since I'm always tweaking the file format, among other things. I could write converters every time something changes, but that would be a hassle and rather impractical since not many people are using the editor/player as-if right now anyway. That's also the reason why I'm don't want to officially release anything just yet (not just because I'm a lazy jerk ;P).

Also, at the risk of sounding annoying, in your opinion is there any chance the beta will hit before march 7th? XD

Thank Godot for people like you
So you just resized the image and cleaned it up? I'll have to try that... eventually.*downloads all official art from CR to laptop*

I'm alright for front view, I think.
Also, another question... I suppose it would just require a bit of scripting with when questions, presenting, etc come up... but would it be possible to do a case where, for part of it, you play as the prosecution?
(Yes, I do have plans for a case involving this)

On an unrelated note, here is a sprite of my main character. I drew the lineart myself (well, traced most of it <<;) but this is just to prove my concept of Art -> Sprite is feasible.

Great job! That rocks!
I need to get around to designing some characters now... I'm inspired! 
... wow this is kind of becoming off-topic. There needs to be a forum for fan case-making resources
The 'Present Evidence' section isn't so helpful.

I shaded his face in the exact same way as the official Apollo sprite. *shrugs*

Still needs a bit of shading.

Anyone here tried to compile the incomplete source for KanadaKid's Case Editor? From the documentation pages on his site he mentions you need to already be well versed in C++, which I am not.. so if someone has compiled it successfully, could you please PM me and help me through it?
Edit: I had a go at compiling this, it went horribly wrong. I think I might PM KanadaKid and see if he'd be willing to send me a recent compile just so I could try it out a little (I don't care if I can't present evidence in the player etc yet, I just want to get writing some script XD)

Edit: Actually, I've got a question about the music. I'm just curious if it'll be possible to get the music to loop. For example, I could have it play Cornered, then chop it off at a certain point where I could have it loop constantly and just about seamlessly without the music fading out on me in the middle of the case and starting right back at the intro. If that wording's too confusing, I'll just say it like this. Could I have it play "Cornered1.mp3" in the background, and then if that music file reaches the end before it manually stops through case progression or whatever, have it loop "Cornered2.mp3" until I tell it to stop? Sorry if that's still confusing, but I can't figure out a good way to word it. Thanks.

without any stuff like {,/,:,etc. Kinda like mechabowser's, you just click action and type in what to say, etc.
I really don't care so much about coloured text, when is it gonna be out?

You can either do it by hand, or just use the dialogs to automatically insert everything into the script. You can basically make an entire case without manually writing out the triggers, etc. As I said before, the beta is either this month or the next... assuming I don't get sidetracked or whatever.

But for those like me who aren't too fond of the touchscreen approach, is keyboard input also supported?

I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE BETA! In fact, I may break down and learn how to compile it myself... Eh, probably not. It'd be better to wait for the completed, stable beta anyway, I think.
So, I wonder... Is everything TOTALLY customizeable, like for example, are the in-game GUI graphics editable or will we be stuck with the standard ones? I'm perfectly fine with the normal Ace Attorney GUI, but I'm just curious.
100% pure Joy.
Excellent source of puns.

I just went to try that, and lo, Photoshop does not have pixelate and pixel resize options
Normal resizing will have to do, I guess

Just looking at the screenshots made me restart my own PW "Case Maker" project i abandoned about 2+ months ago.
Hope to see a beta out soon.

It is implied as a customization that doesn't necessarily need support on the editor, imo. Unless the case maker supports more than once case per project or you want to change attorneys mid-case, that is.
Voice recognization = hard. No, extremelly hard. Unless he finds a good open source library, i think it is an option we hardly will see. Sounds cool, yeah.

To change these sounds and silhouettes, you could simply change the files in the case documents, right?
...That's true.
So true.
