Any chances :maya: or :pearl: will appear?

Them appearing would feel wrong without Nick in my opinion.

Also, when (if) will characters who aren't OCs appear? (Other than cameos like Gumshoe) I mean, I love these characters, but I'd love to see :phoenix: or something...oh yeah, and Payne sucks, he doesn't count...and the judge is a ghost, he doesn't count. :yogi:

There will (should, probably) be an appearance of a game 1 character in case 3, but that is still up in the air, as I haven't completed that script just yet, only the outlines.

Civil's story doesn't really have room to accommodate a canon character, really. As much as I would LOVE to see how he interacts with Maya or Pearl, there's no room for them in the current story line.

I only plan on making 4 cases, so perhaps if I (by some miracle) complete my mission, I may do a case 5 which pushes the boundaries even further. That one I can base around a certain canon character returning.

Although, with my attention span and the fact that I'm returning to Uni next month, I'm not convinced that case 3 will ever be finished. Case 2 is 100% going to be finished, there is no doubt about that, but I have to admit, making these comics is incredibly time consuming. I need to motivate myself more I think :basil:

Case 5 better have Ema be all sciencey and replace Rachel. (Of course in the updated rerelease of Robert Civil.) :yogi:

As amusing as that sounds, I think that Civil would feel inadequate around Ema. He wouldn't want her following him around like Rachel does, as he would be constantly out-smarted.

Oh and speaking of Rachel, since Patch was speaking of her sprite the other day, I have been working on it for a while now and I think I almost have the revamped-slightly-older Rachel who will be appearing in case 3. I have put it alongside her current sprite for comparison. Thoughts?

Oh my, the new Rachel looks cool! You removed the Lipstick she had before tho. I don't mean there's any problem on doing such, but just sayin'~ :redd:

But I'll have to say: You guys often compare her as some sort of snack. What the heck? It's not as if she's actually a Potato Chips but looks completely like a Human Girl.

Yeah I tried to create some decent pink-red lips, but it just wasn't happening. In the end, I just got rid of it.

You have outdone yourself, Hesseldahl. I love it. You see, the thing is, Rachel is physically based off of a girl I know, so my first thought when I saw it was 'wait, is that...' and then I remembered about Rachel :') I'm looking forward to showing it to her!

Going to put it on the front page under fanart. Once again: it is fantastically done. Thank you! :will:

It's a shame it didn't pop up when I started this comic, as I would have used that sprite instead! If I ever get a time machine, I know what I'm doing haha

I have a new avatar, folks. It took me a couple of goes to pick this one, but this one came close:

In México Lays are called Sabritas, so it's really weird see them being called Lays.

They're called Walkers over here. Walkers crisps. I've seen them called Lays in other parts of the world, though.

Sabritas sounds like a far better name!

(I'm guessing you picked up on the avatar mention? :')

You said the revamped sprites are of a "slightly older" Rachel? Is there going to be a significant time gap between this case and case 3?

Also that's some very cool fanart there, Hesseldahl.

It actually messes the storyline up to put a huge gap mid-season, but I wanted to change her sprites a little, so I have managed to push a two-month gap between cases 2 and 3. I guess we will just have to imagine that she did a bit of growing up in those two months :')

A 2 month gap is the same as all (Except AAI and GK2) AA games...

Laugh-cries!

Hmm.. It is strange that you said that. There is a ghost joke in scene 14. For a second there, I thought you was referring to that :')

I did some work on case 3 today. It is a little darker than case 1 and 2 and in the current draft runs up to 100 comics long! (I guess that makes sense with case 1 being 41 comics and case 2 being 70 comics..)

When I'm in the scripting phase, I really do love writing for Rachel. Her attitude really comes out in case 4 (should we get there.)

Edit: I threw an extra update on today because... Why not? Rachel's favourite song.

Double post, but I figured that it was worth it for today.

Basically, I have started a Rachel (potato chips) spin off fanfiction over in the fanfiction section of this site (there's a link here to save you time going back an' all)

Please, please, please check it out. I love writing for the character of Rachel, and would love your support in my endeavour to expand the Robert Civil universe even further.

Please go over there and comment! :)

Also, today's update shows the victim's profile and other stuff. I hope you enjoyed it! :will:

PATCH! Oliver's threats have brought Patch back! :will:

Also, I don't think this needs saying anymore on account of the updates being daily, but... Update :will:

Wow, we've almost been going daily for two months..

I feel the need to thank you guys.

Five years ago, (as I think I've mentioned before) I made a sprite comic on this site which was awful, despite the fact that I tried my best. I was just a kid, so it makes sense now that it was bad. But at the time, I just wanted to create something fun and entertaining for people.

People's dislike for that comic has sat with me in the back of my mind for all these years, so I would like you guys to know how much you have all influenced my life by posting all your positive comments.

After our four cases with Robert Civil have ended, I can move on with my life knowing that I achieved something which my inner child wanted: to create something half decent for some Ace Attorney fans (and great ones at that.)

All the best, folks.
