Here comes a quick review!
Spoiler:
Brilliant, Watters is back! Actual sound effects for clicking on the options, that's cool. It adds to the realism making it seem more like a Phoenix Wright game. Edman Books he is amazing (He actually got sound effects!) Like the idea of actual accessing of a computer by the way. It looks like the sprites have been improved on Williamson as well. (His shock sprite is splendidly funny!) Quite a creative breakdown by Woman as well, It made me laugh a lot (I love Edman's theme, what is it?) I also like the fact that you bought back the Rivales storyline. Little mistake. When Phoenix mentions before Woman's final testimony that he has a hunch, half of it is in blue text and the last two lines when he's still meant to be whispering are in white. Can't wait for the rest of this case! :phoenix:

I'm glad you were able to tell. I was worried that the differences might be too small to notice.

Spoiler:
I finished the first part. So far, I cannot point out the most likely suspect - it could be anyone's game (aside from Books and our dear femanon, of course); therefore I don’t want to jump to conclusions. What did I get? An another wonderful case with interesting plot, memorable characters and lots of cameos and hidden jokes.

1. Personally, I liked that striped button a lot more than the plain one...
2. ...but that gimmick with presenting evidence to people was cool (not to mention sound effects for clicking on the options).
3. 911 call log IMHO should include time of call, unless it was intentional.
4. In the autopsy report, there is nothing about burns. Oh, you can always say that fire wasn’t the cause of death, so it wasn’t worth mentioning. But I don’t trust incomplete autopsy reports ;).
5. My thoughts about AF users' real identities:

GummyBaer - :eh?:
xXLoveMachineXx - :hotti:
m4gikp4ntiez - :study:
Salmonella – well, you just COULDN’T be less obvious about it :sal: (although IMHO his texts have insufficient amount of l33t)
Stranger2Love – for this fellow, I’m sure he (she?) is an original character. It could be Anton Simms.

6. And about that friend of Williamson who popped out of the blue - I guess he’s that mysterious person Obadiah was talking with in the epilogue of The Rogue Turnabout. Am I right?

Why is it so quiet in here?
This thread should be bursting with comments and theories.
Here goes mine:

Spoiler:
Let's start at the beginning, shall we? And by the beginning, I mean the intro - I believe there may be hidden hints in it. We were supposed to think that Webb (cyan text) was chatting over the Internet with Books (grey text). But is that true?! Let's see... Webb (BadPlayer) was actually conflicted with Books due to that quarrel on AF forum. In that case, why he did he type "I was hoping you’d be on"?
We can also deduce that Webb was expecting the killer.

In my opinion, the one talking in grey was not Books, but rather Anton Simms. However, that also means he cannot be the culprit (although, he'll provide some interesting information about the very moment of murder).

I guess that Togamera is the real killer. He did seem to hate the victim because of Webb's connections to the Rivales family. Not to mention he had an opportunity to mess with the crime scene and erase all traces of himself and incriminating evidence.

I would say 2-3 months, but that's a very rough estimate. It might be less, it might be more. I'm not going to rush anything.

The script is complete, the coding is nearly done, and there's just a few sprites left. After that, I'll have to have the second half beta-tested, which will last as long as the testers take to respond. However, I do have something besides TotW which I'm working on at the moment, so it'll take a bit more time than it would otherwise.

Just fixed that. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Post subject:  Re: PW: Conflict of Interest (first half of case 2 complete)

Update:

I've more or less finished the coding for the case. The only things remaining are a few sprites. However, I'm really procrastinating on that, since it involves making a lot of custom hands and I REALLY hate making custom sprite hands. I can never seem to get those stupid things to actually look good.

So yeah, progress is happening, just very slowly at this point.

Another update:

TOTW is nearly finished. I just need to finish the final few sprites, which is currently expected to take maybe a week or two. And then beta-testing, which will last for however long it takes my testers to respond.

Beta-testing positions for the second half are going to be first offered to the three gentlemen who helped me on the first half (Cardiovore, Fuandon, and DWAM). If any of them don't wish to, that slot will be offered to Darth Wiader, who voiced Edman Books. After that, if there are still positions open, I'll put out an open request and it will be first come, first serve.

Hi there, I don't post very often at all but I'd like to say I'm really enjoying this game! I just finished The Rogue Turnabout (have very recently discovered the joy of fangames!) and I really enjoyed it!

Spoiler:
I love Watters!


Having a bit of a problem with the next case,

Spoiler:
The part where you meet Cody and he is arrested for hacking, for some reason the 'talk' button is not there, all the other three are (examine, move and present) - I'm guessing I need to talk to him?


Anyway, this is the first fangame I've played and I'd like to say thanks for making it! :)

Edit: Nevermind, looks like you don't need to do that anyway! (I was sure I'd tried everything... Oh well.) Durrr...

No, there's nothing to discuss with him beyond the initial scene. I couldn't think of anything to have him talk about in that particular scene, at least nothing that wouldn't fit in much better in part two. So, I just left it empty.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it so far. Always love to hear back from the players. :phoenix:

Wow, I inspired someone to make a C-R account? :D

As for Woman's testimony, she has multiple testimonies, so I'm afraid I can't help much without more information. There should be a walkthrough in the Conflict of Interest folder (entitled very creatively "Walkthrough - Turnabout on the Web").

A few bugs.

Spoiler: Case 1, Investigation
After putting together the gun, the talk button disappears and you can't talk to Cody anymore. Also, when you present the promo poster to him, the text goes off screen.


Also, the prosecutor says "You Honor" in the beginning of the first trial.

Post subject:  Re: PW: Conflict of Interest (first half of case 2 complete)

Sorry, there's been sort of a lull here without any updates. I'm still waiting for the beta-testing.

To make up for it, I'm going to now be announcing my next case: A Turnabout Is Worth a Thousand Words.

This is sort of a case 0 for the series. It's a prologue/tutorial Winston Payne case. During the initial planning stages, I took it out because it had absolutely nothing to do with the overall plot of the series, so it was never listed in any of my C-R threads. However, since then I've had sort of a change of heart toward it and have adapted the plot so that it connects to everything, even if only slightly. Also, it gives me an excuse to give Trucy some more screentime.

Now, this is a Winston Payne case, so don't expect any mind-blowing revelations as to who the killer is (Hint: It's the witness). However, there are a few smaller twists in there. And in fact, I actually think things worked out better with it being released after TRT and TOTW, as there are some lines toward the end which would have a much bigger effect on the player if they already knew the rest of the story. And it's still pretty lengthy, coming out at about the same length as the final trial of Rogue Turnabout.

The plot's pretty much all finished, as is the large majority of the coding and artwork. I would expect that it would be released a few weeks after TOTW: Part 2.

So in effect, I'm pulling a George Lucas and releasing the prequel to my story after I did the later segments. Take that as you will. I'll post character sprites later when I have more time.

Post subject:  Re: PW: Conflict of Interest (first half of case 2 complete)

Final updates have been made to TOTW. I'm just going to run through the full case one more time, to make sure everything's still working.

The second half will probably be up either tonight or tomorrow.

Things to note about this section:

-YOU WILL NEED THE LATEST VERSION OF PYWRIGHT FOR THIS!!!
If you don't have version 0.987, then there will be a large, ugly rectangle across your screen for a good chunk of the case. If you like large, ugly rectangles blocking your screen, then feel free to play with an unupdated version of Pywright. Otherwise, updating is required.

-There is a rather sizable easter egg (or cameo, however you want to call it) if you try to go online before the story prompts you to do so.

-The story gets a bit dark in this section. The guy proofreading my script responded well to it, but I'm sure there'll be a variety of reactions.

KNOWN BUGS:

-Once again, in Upper Middle Street, the double examine screen has issues. This is an issue with Pywright.

-In the text editor scene, pressing the "enter" button without typing in anything will give you a brief error screen and then skip the whole puzzle. I've talked to several people and none of them had an answer. It may be something that Saluk has to fix at a later point. Just... be sure you have something typed in, I guess, if you don't want to ruin it for yourself.



ALSO, the next case, A Turnabout Is Worth a Thousand Words should be released sometime within the two months (maybe sooner, maybe later). It's a prologue to the series, taking place immediately before The Rogue Turnabout.

Along with a new case, I'm hoping to throw in some various interface updates with it, including pictures for the different cases in the main menu (as currently they are all just the Conflict of Interest logo).

I'm currently very busy and don't have quite enough time to make them, especially if I want to release the case in the timeframe I mentioned. If somebody were to make the case menu art for me, I would be very grateful. And in fact, I would be willing to pay you with a Steam game (we would decide on a price limit later via PM). The artwork must be of equal or greater quality to what I would be able to do myself.

And also... A voice actor for Obadiah. I think the guy's finally grown tired of having to use Godot's voice and he wants his own "OBJECTION!", "HOLD IT!", and "TAKE THAT!" If you've played the game thus far, you should have an idea of his personality and demeanor and what he should sound like.

Post subject:  Re: PW: Conflict of Interest (Two cases complete!!!)

Just finished playing it, and I have to say: Great job!

Here are some thoughts:
Spoiler:
- The Apollo cameo at the beginning of the 2nd part was great, I hope everyone gets to see it.
- The fact that you have to actually write the password was quite a surprise to me, I didn't know you could to that with PyWright :udgy:
- Poor Cody :sadshoe:
- Simms' testimonies kinda confused me, I didn't really knew what to present, so I had to check the walkthrough in each of his testimonies.
- Togamera was also a hard cookie to crack. He rarely was nervous or had a slip-up, and had good rebuttals for some accusations. Good job with that!
- The part where Togamera points with his gun. It nearly made me think that he really was going to escape! But... Obadiah attacks! Followed by the breakdown. :gant:
- I got a good ending, but is there any chance to get a "bad" one?
- After the credits, those last dialogues... Wow. Just wow. Now THAT was unexpected. :beef:
- I'm looking forward the next case! :godot:


I really enjoyed it. Can't wait for 'A Turnabout Is Worth a Thousand Words'!

Hey: Just started playing the 2nd part of the case and I'm loving it so far. I've run into a snag though that I can't figure out:

Spoiler:
When I check Webb's account and check his private messages, I am unable to leave the area. When I click on the 3 private messages, then the "logout" button, I get an error message...which logs me out from the game...Is there anything else I should click on in the private message area that won't trigger the log out?

Hello,

I played through it and like to report some bugs if it's alright.
Spoiler:
-In my case all of the new profile's don't have a picture.
-In the walkthrough you skipped a thing after present webb's profile picture.
-I can't inspect the new gained evidence in detail.



Furthermore i'd like to say that you've done great work and if the next case is as great as this one it will be a super case!
