Obligatory Disclaimer: This trial contains a crapload of stuff that was neither designed nor composed by me. I would like to thank the people at Capcom for creating the original artwork/music, and some of the people at Ace Attorney Online and Court-Records for some of the edited artwork.

This case is now featured!

The world we live in is filled with contradictions. However, some worlds only exist to contradict our own. In a world where prosecutors and defense attorneys are now on opposite sides of the courtroom, is it still possible for the truth to prevail?

It must be possible, for if not... Then what is the point to our existence?

Notes:

Pay attention to the sound and image loading bar as you start the case. Green means it's loaded, grey means it's loading, and reddish brown means part of it won't load at all. If you get reddish brown in either loading bar, please refresh the page. I'm not concerned with bandwidth issues; however, some trial writers are, so please be polite and make sure they don't have a warning on their trial page to avoid refreshing before you do that on someone else's trial.

Safari supports APNG now, but I haven't tested SVG fade compatibility. If you play it in Safari, and you see that the fade out works more than once, then the fades are compatible, so please let me know if that happens.
If you would like to play this in Chrome, follow the instructions in the spoiler below...
Spoiler: Chrome instructions
You'll need to go to this link to download the APNG extension in order for some of the custom graphics to display correctly (You may have to check the "allow access to file URLs" option in settings, though. Not sure). Firefox and now Safari natively support APNGs, so no additional addons are required for those browsers. That said, Firefox is the only browser I know for sure will properly support the svg fades. Chrome currently does not, so if you want the full experience, Firefox is the best option

Premise

Shattered Glass: Turnabout Reversal is an alternate universe case, made in the Ace Attorney Online casemaker, where the vast majority of defense attorneys and prosecutors are now on opposite sides of the courtroom.

You play as Miles Edgeworth, fresh out of law school. When an old friend of your mentor, Manfred von Karma, is accused of murdering a young woman, you find yourself with the task of defending him to the best of your ability.

I enjoyed this case :P

Is this a series? Or a one-off?

I am currently working on making the second case, although it's slow going because I'm waiting to see if I can get some front-facing Young!Franziska sprites first. (That, and school's eating up a lot of my time)

I haven't finished the first case yet but I have something that's been bothering me....

Larry Butz is 23 year old and Ema Skye is... 25...

Paradox?

Come now, if you're going to make an alternate universe, who says you're limited to only changing a character's job description? Age is fair game. If I want to make it so the Judge is Pearl's age, I'll do it.

It all comes down to the story I want to tell. Ema is more useful to me at 25 than at 15, just like Franziska is more useful at 14 than at 18 for the purpose of the plot.

Oh, apologies. I am afraid that I didn't realize on what world you meant it to be.

Again, I sincerely apologize.

No apologies necessary. I didn't mean to come across as condescending, so I apologize if I did.

Made a major update to the case. Changed the engine to AAOV6, spruced up the dialogue here and there, and made a major adjustment to the final confrontation due to it being a little too unfair before.

Have fun. :)

Exactly what kind of quality problems are you referring to? AFAIK, there aren't any perfect casemakers out there. Regardless of which one you use, there are going to be drawbacks. I chose the AAO editor because it was easy to use, it has a nice visual implementation, and perfect or not, it gets the job done.

Besides, there is actually a surprising amount of stuff one can do with the AAOV6 editor. It just takes a little creativity is all. I even have an idea for a new investigation technique that I'd like to implement in a future case. With the AAO editor, I already know how to set it up, all I need is to actually do it (won't be until case 4 though).

After making many revisions, fixes, and tweaks to this case, I'm proud to announce that Turnabout Reversal is now one of AAO's featured trials!
