- Somehow, that little Wellington on case art (or, to be more accurate, his upper half) floating above Morgan‘s arms reminds me of the
shoulder angel. Or the devil.
- During the intro, mute everything that is said (because it's always muted in AA games, even though this time the killer's gender is obvious).
- FLYING WELLINGTON STRIKES AGAIN

.
- Capitalize every sentence in descriptions of evidence and profiles.
- It’s “Businessman”, not “Buisness Man”.
- Capitalize every “I”.
- Maya is invisible

. I mean, her sprites just refuse to load. Maybe she’s just hiding behind the defense lobby’s couch?
- Way to be an attorney, Morgan.
- I’m, not “im”
- YOU’RE, not YOUR.
- Wow. Way to be rude, Morgan. Why exactly is Apollo a problem? He’s on our side! I’d understand if they were talking about Payne, but…
- Apollo doesn’t call Wright “Phoenix”. He calls him “Mr. Wright.”
- I’ve, not IVE.
- Please… just leave a period on every sentence.
- Why the name of Wright’s agency is such a big matter? Don't they have more important things to worry about right now? Like… the case against Maya, for example?
- Capitalize “Your Honor”.
- Y’know, capitalizing names and surnames might also be a good idea. Just saying.
- Apostrophes and commas are also your friends, y’know.
- OK, a knife. It doesn’t show Maya being guilty…
- …Why is Payne such a wimp? He wasn’t THAT wimpy, from what I remember.
- Wait, why did Morgan change colours?
- Also, sentences tend to go beyond the textbox.
Usually, AA games don’t inform the player when a profile is added.
- It’s DeLite, not Delite.
- …That isn’t Ron at all. He lacks the quirks of the original Ron DeLite

.
Here’s a quote from the wiki:
Quote:
“Ron is usually a quiet and nervous young man, but can become easily agitated, and in those instances will often beg or whine loudly and dramatically, usually in the form "PLEEEEEEAASSSE!" When making a statement, he will sometimes double-guess or disagree with what he has just said. He also has a tendency to trail off in the middle of a sentence.”
- IT?! Come on, Maya’s not a monster

!
- Why couldn’t he scream again? He’s GOOD AT IT!
- Wow. Morgan doesn’t know how to expose lies… remind me to never hire him as a lawyer again.
- ALLEGRO SHOULDN’T PLAY ON THE 1ST CROSS-EXAMINATION. The "Allegro" theme is a faster remix of the "Moderato" theme; "Moderato" plays during earlier testimonies and "Allegro" during later testimonies, when the trial chapter is approaching its climax.
- …Why is he getting so nervous again? It’s easy to explain!
- 11… AM!? HOW CAN A CLOCK BE SO WRONG?!
- Am I the only one who thinks that the information about the time should be obtained from pressing?
- OH COME ON! HOW CAN IT BE SUCH A HUGE GAP?! 12-14 HOURS?!
- Morgan changes his suit again. Somehow, I got used to it and it's starting to look
kind of... funny.
- …WHY IS MORGAN SO SHOCKED?! This is good for him!
- Great job? All he did was point out the obvious.
- I think it should be "at the crime scene" or "during the crime", but not "at the crime".
- BTW, the evidence icon should pop up on
the right side of screen, when the defense presents it.
- WHAT. DID. PAYNE. JUST. DO. BEHIND. HIS. BENCH? I lol’d.
- OK, time for a recess.
Maya is invisible again

.
Even her namebox doesn’t appear.
Is she turning
state's evidence and going under witness protection program, or something?
Maybe it’s a good time to hear out her version of this story.
…or not.
- Wait, let me collect all the facts. The police was sent
to the victim’s home… and they found his pistol.
In his pocket. That means the body… was just… lying there all the time? Shouldn't it have been taken to a morgue, perhaps?
- Ohai, Richard.
Oh wait, it’s Randy.
- Oh look. Allegro. During his first cross-examination. Why am I not surprised?
- …Why did the police show up before he even tried to call them?
- …Why is he so shocked?! He should know about this, considering that he's the killer.
…Why did the killer have a knife? They could’ve easily killed him with a pistol. The knife wasn't needed at all.
- Why didn’t the police find it on the scene? The gun, I mean?
- HOW IS IT SUSPICIOUS? IT’S EASY TO HEAR SHOTS AND ASSUME THAT THE VICTIM GOT SHOT

.

- …GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH. OKAY. I’M DONE. DONE FOREVER. HOW DID THE POLICE MISS SOMETHING AS HUGE AS A HOLE IN HIS HEAD?! IT’S BLOODY EASY TO NOTICE, ARE THEY BLIND OR SOMETHING? You can’t use the police incompetence to handwave pure nonsense! The AA police isn’t that dumb, for crying out loud! At least it was explained in
Conflict of Interest!
-OK, I apologize for that needless rage. But still, my point stands.
- …Excuse me. Why is T&T Pursuit playing instead of “Suspense”?
- ……………….WHAT. What kind of lawyer is that?! NOTHING POINTS TO HER, except those vague testimonies only describing
a girly figure.
For all we know, it could’ve been another woman!
- WHY. IS. MAYA. ACCUSED. AGAIN.
C’mon, why was she doing in his house in the first place?! She never even knew him, she had no motive, and most of all, it was 2 AM! Why would the Kurain Master visit the house of a random businessman so late at night?! Was she providing her services as a spirit medium? OK, I think I’d be a legitimate reason, but the point is why didn't anybody even bring that up?
-...WAIT WHAT. IT’S SO EASY TO ASSUME THAT THE VICTIM GOT SHOT… Considering, oh I don’t know… HE HEARD THE SHOTS IN THE FIRST PLACE?!
- Fingering a killer… WITH AN
ASSPULL.
- …Wait, what? Why weren't the prints mentioned in the evidence description?
- …What. He’s giving up… because of Phoenix saying that she found the body.
- …WAIT, WHAT?! WHY IS HE CONFESSING?! PHOENIX HIMSELF SAID THAT THE BLOOD MIGHT PROVE MAYA IS THE KILLER

!
- …So the police arrested a girl who has no motive to kill Ramarez, no decisive evidence… instead of a guy who actually has the motive. Even the AA police isn’t that stupid.
- So, Randy. You say you were shocked after you killed him. Uh-uh. Leaving his house calmly after killing someone. Yup. That totally looks like shock to me.
- …What? He didn’t even do anything! All he did was point out the obvious! It’s Phoenix that has gotten the killer… with… his baseless… conjecture.
- …What about Apollo, Maya?! Morgan didn’t do anything noteworthy, he only pointed out the obvious!
BTW, why was it called “Justice in Time” again? It didn’t even INVOLVE Apollo! He only showed up in the lobby!
- Poor Winston

.
- Seriously, I find it hard to believe it is an improved version. It is full of plot holes, ill-considered twists and errors. Just because your first case is an
open mystery, that doesn’t mean that it
does not have to be solvable. Your protagonist should have all the evidence necessary to nail down the culprit. Instead, Phoenix did all the job for him. And there is a giant difference between evidence arriving in the last minute (like in
Farewell, My Turnabout) and evidence that a character had from the beginning but decided to show it at the last moment without any foreshadowing beforehand (not to mention that this piece of evidence in particular should
incriminate Maya rather than help her).
- Wasn’t it established that Phoenix was an only child? OK, it’s your story.
Still, bringing a family-member-that-we-had-never-heard-about
is one of the
cheapest and most overused tricks in fanworks. Currently, we have already two siblings of canon characters (Randy and Morgan), and there’s another guy coming up on the horizon (Jonathan Edgeworth). Don’t you you think it’s a bit… stretched? And the fact that Morgan and Jonathan are just re-colored Phoenix and Miles doesn’t help either (that’s not necessarily bad,
here you can find an interesting chart which proves that even sprites made with simple "copy&paste + recolor" technique may be improved).
- Another thing I noticed during my playthrough is that you’ve messed with characters’ ages. Why is Maya younger than Apollo? She should be around 25-27. Also, Phoenix should be 35, NOT 31. And Ron should be 30-31 in this game.
- I don’t want to discourage you in any way. I'm sorry if I was too harsh for you. I just mean you'll have to improve some of the things and remove all of illogicalities and bugs to make it truly a good case. In its current state, your game is
underdeveloped and thus, unenjoyable.
- If you can’t listen to criticism about your game without getting emotional about, then your game is simply not ready and nor are you. Not that I'm suggesting you detach yourself emotionally from your game. Never do that or you’ll lose interest in it.
- Aside from improving the plot and mystery, it might be also a good idea to add some graphics: maps, cut-scenes, characters’ silhouettes etc. instead of black backgrounds. You said that your first case was rushed, and, to be honest, this fact stands out a mile. If you want to make a good case, take as long as you need to take to get it
right. There is no schedule and you are not in a race. Take the time to design your game, hit it over the head with countless play testing sessions, and keep working on it until you are convinced that you can’t do anything more to it. Keep working hard. Best luck!
