Post subject: | Percei Verita: Ace Attorney (New Logo!) |
--Announcements!-- -Seeing as development on this game has been rather sluggish (due to me originally shouldering a lot of the workload and constant gaining and loss of members of the dev team) I've decided to have an open casting call to join the development team. This is a high quality project that features original characters, storylines, and media all centered in the world of Ace Attorney. Joining this dev team will require some dedication to the project, as I refuse to let it disappear. See Post 2 for position information and farther down in this post for the listing openings. -We need voice actors to do the shouts for the game! See this thread here for more information! If anyone is interested in helping with the project or just needs to talk to/ask me about something, my E-Mail is barber.jacobervin@gmail.com, my Skype user ID is JEB53194.

Post subject: | Re: Percei Veritá: Ace Attorney |
So you want to join the Dev. Team? Well if you've found a reasonable position for yourself and want more information, here's the post to do it, included here is position information and the team application. Have fun! -Applying- To apply, fill out the form and PM it to me, any samples of your work can be uploaded to a filesharing site and linked here or e-Mailed to me at JEB53194@yahoo.com. You are allowed to apply for multiple positions, anyone applying for a position on the Graphics, Writing, or Music teams must post at least one sample of their work (unless applying for Music Seeker). Name: Position(s) Applying For: Past Fangame Experience: -What Position You Held: -Samples (if desired): Why You'd Like to Work on the Team: Sample of Work (if necessary): -Position Information- Here I'll talk about information for each of the positions that are open. -Team Lead: A team lead is an important position, while you will be contributing to each aspect of your team, your main job is to delegate to group heads, manage and inspect progress, and make sure everything is coming along well for the game. -Group Head (Head of X): Your job is to both directly contribute to your assigned task as the other members of your group, but also to delegate responsibilities of your group, and report to team leaders. Some groups only have group heads because the job isn't too much work for one person. --Graphics Team-- -Cutscene Artist: Cutscene artists create those stills from the AA games that illustrate dramatic moments in the story. Examples can be found here: http://www.court-records.net/screenshots1.htm -Head of UI and Various GFX: This person will be in charge of desigining the User Interface (buttons and such) and other random graphics pertaining to the interaction with the game. Not a continuing workload, more of a when you're done, you're done. -Official Artist: An official artist depicts characters in more detailed, up close renderings for use in promotional items and covers. -Promotional Item Designer: This person will be in charge of designing promotional items (teaser pictures, etc.) for the game and also designing logos and cover art. Photoshop experience is a must. --Writing Team-- -Detailed Script Writer: A detailed script is essentially how the case flows, what the characters are supposed to say, how they convey it, in detail. When completed, a detailed script is forwarded onto dialogue writers who convert it into dialogue that flows better, add humor, and other things. -Secondary Dialogue Writer: This dialogue writer will focus on side conversations not necessarily pivotal to the case but still need to be written, such as "What should we do next" and evidence presenting that isn't necessary to move the case forward. -Tertiary Dialogue Writer: This dialogue writer will focus on odds and ends that the other dialogue writers don't need to focus on, such as presenting wrong evidence, generic responses to evidence in investigations, etc. --Sound and Music Team-- -Music Seeker/Contributor: This person will be tasked with going through existing collections of music (mostly video game music) and picking choices for the game. -Composer: Not necessary to the progression of development, but something that would be nice, people to compose custom music for the game. -Music Editor: This person would work on longer tracks found by Music Seekers to truncate and loop for the game. -Head of Sound Effects: This person would supervise sound effects, will mostly work closely with beta testers and writers to decide where sound effects should go. Can also contribute custom sound effects when necessary. --Brainstorming & Design Team-- -Case Progression Contributor: Arguably one of the most important positions, the contributors here take the general ideas and basic progression and expand it out into how the trials and investigations should progress, they work closely with detailed script writers. -Character Design Contributor: These contributors work in expanding character design into the nuances of character, could range from personality to visual design. No artistic skills are required, but they can be helpful. --Coding Team-- -Coder: Any coder on the coding team needs to be skilled in or at least familiar with PWLib. I have access to the highly improved PWLib 1.2 which will be used to code this game. --Testing Team-- -Concept Cheker: The concept checkers will work with design team members to give their input on concepts, if so and so is hackneyed, cliche, etc. Their job is to be a third party to ensure believability, and emotionality. -Script Checker: The script checker will review the dialogue after it has been written to check for errors, plot holes, inconsistencies, and awkward dialogue. Familiarity with the Ace Attorney time line is a MUST. -Beta Tester: They will test the game after all other design elements have finished, they will check for bugs and offer opinions on how things can be improved, dialogue can flow better, etc. |

Post subject: | Re: Percei Veritá: Ace Attorney |
THIS. SOUNDS. AWESOME. Seriously, I just love how the story is well planned and doesn't contradict itself, how you worded the explanations, and the idea is really cool too! Just a thingy: Couldn't you change "Turnabout Serenade" to "Turnabout Melody" or something of the likes?, since... well, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Case 3 is called "Turnabout Serenade", as you may know. But away from that I'm seriously looking forward to this. Oh, and I reccomend PWLib for professionalism, and specially for it's simpler language coming out, which will make it's code like a 70% easier to understand/memorize/use. But that's just my opinion. If you just WANT TO MAKE this game, use PyWright, but if you want to make it and make it look professional and closer to the Ace Attorney series, use PWLib. P.S: I don't know what time is in other countries, but, just in case, Merry Christmass to everybody! |

... I put Serenade didn't I? It's supposed to be Turnabout Harmony. EDIT: Fixed, thanks for pointing that out. |

If you decide to use PWLib (which I highly recommend) after you finish all of the sprites, I can code them in for you. |
Author: | Percei [ Thu Dec 25, 2008 2:28 am ] |
Post subject: | Re: Percei Veritá: Ace Attorney |
Thanks, I am in fact leaning towards PWLib. I just need to get some of the general Idea of what I want for the Game. EDIT: Ok, after some review, and the fact that its a more intuitive interface, I'm going with PWLib. |

Post subject: | Re: Percei Veritá: Ace Attorney |
Thanks for all your offers guys (sorry I put the wrong category, thanks for fixing it KSA). @Manella: I'd like to see some yes, you can post it here if you'd like. @DDR: OK, I'll try it out, but it does look very promising. I had to reinstall PWLib, so it'll take me a bit longer to get back on that. |

Finally got around to make a topic for it huh? Well, I can help you with some backgrounds i suppose. Meh, perhaps even a bit of animation should you need it. So far it looks interesting. ps: If you're interested, be mindfull that i don't spend time here as much as i used to, so no-rush only. XD |

Post subject: | Re: Percei Veritá: Ace Attorney |
I can help with the writing and dialogue and stuff. (Once I finish doing it for Prosecutor Manella, of course, but I'm almost done with his case.) For a sample of my writing I could give you (a part of) the case I'm writing for PM (if it's okay with PM, of course). I have a few (pretty bleh) fanfics, but I write prose differently than scripts. |

Hey Percei. This game looks amazing. ^_^ If you like, I could help with creating evidence/crimescenes, but as I can see many other spriters better than me have already applied to do so. XD If not that, I could write some dialogue for you. ^_^ Good luck with this! =] |

ANNOUNCEMENT! I'm looking for a good female singer, I'd like for them to audition by singing the posted song (which will be used in the game) acapella. I will really just judge on how good it sounds and how much I like it. Whoever is picked will have her voice laid over the segment of the full song, get credit for singing, and have her voice in the song! See this post for downloading the song segment! |

I know this game's kind of been dead like for awhile, but it's not! I've been doing some under the radar stuff, and recruiting someone. We now have Foxxis as a spriter! I'm very excited to have her on the team, and now some progress will be made. |

Just a quick status report. -Bad Player and I have begun Case 1 Dialogue. -I've gotten a number of backgrounds for the games, and also some "Screenshots" (cut-scene type photos) -Sprites are coming along, finished Katrina's sprite set and DeMatatdor is encoding it. -Evidence is finally in the starting phase. -We have our LOGO, thanks to Greeny who is so helpful in the development of many of my projects. EDIT: I'd really like the help of some skilled artists to do screenshots, as I'm not really able to do it, my area of expertise is in sprites and dialogue. Also, If anyone is interested in doing fullbody concept art for use on the "cover", please contact me! |

Hey, Percei. Glad to see things are advancing great. I do apologize a ton but if you do need me for any help, I'm gonna hafta ask you to keep in contact with me on an instant-messenger. Life is getting real busy for me I don't get much time to browse Court Records these days. This doesn't mean I'm not available for coding assistance, it just means I web surf less. |
