Thank you! The next case actually isn't going to be a case 3, but a case 0, since it takes place before The Rogue Turnabout. It's a trial only case with Winston Payne and a killer who is blatantly obvious from the start (hint: It's the witness). Cases 3 and 4 aren't going to be released for a while. I'll hopefully get around to uploading it either tonight or tomorrow. |

Here it is. The prologue case for the game. This package contains all three cases so far, as well as a small preview and Q&A for the final two. -YOU WILL NEED THE LATEST VERSION OF PYWRIGHT FOR THIS!!! This game uses several features from the latest version of Pywright (0.987). If you don't have that version, the cases will not run optimally. This case takes place a few days before The Rogue Turnabout. I originally planned the series with five cases, but pretty early on, I cut it down to four (with TRT as the first), as this one had almost nothing to do with the main plot. However, while working on Turnabout on the Web, I decided that it might be a good idea to throw it back in, because... 1) It allows me to address a few things I wouldn't be able to elsewhere. 2) I really wanted to do a Winston Payne case. 3) I really wanted to use the music-themed villain in here. 4) It gives Trucy some more face time and her agent insisted that she get as much as possible. So, I've completely rewritten the plot of the case from its initial conception and it now fits in with the other cases. It might actually work out better this way, because there are a few lines near the end which would have a bigger impact on the player than if they played this before TRT and TOTW. Besides a new case, I've also updated a few things. -Added a small scene in The Rogue Turnabout where Nick debates whether or not to use Virgil Black's yellow envelope in court -Gave a new voice to Obadiah - my own. He doesn't show up in this new case, but it's been applied retroactively to the other two. It's in the SFX subfolder if you want to hear it. -In the placeholder sections for Turnabout Consequences and Turnabout into the Unknown, there is a bit of a Q&A and a short preview for the upcoming finale cases. There's also another file in the main folder with a bit of preview dialogue for TConsequences (although that's only in text form). -The moving evidence animation during presenting has been added to the court sequences -Updated Michael Rivales' face. He looks a bit more intimidating now and less like Oliver Deacon with sunglasses. -Updated Virgil Black's sprites. The whole thing with the eyes never got changed, since they turned out rather poorly, but there's been some shading/anti-aliasing updates on his body. -Improved the main menu and added case art -Improved the fade in/out effects -Added penalty warning bars during cross-examintations -Removed the testimony flasher during cross-examinations -Fixed a few bugs in some testimonies where the player could present the correct evidence at the wrong pressed statement but still progress -Fixed a few typos KNOWN BUGS: -Not really a bug, but thought I'd mention it. You may not even encounter it, depending on how fast your computer is. The latest version of Pywright changed how the game deals with framerates. There is a character in this case whose words are sometimes supposed to synch with the music, giving the illusion that she is singing it. If you have a fast computer like me, you'll probably have the sound match up with the words, as intended. If not, they may not line up properly. Not really too big an issue, as you should still be able to get the gist of what's happening and it's mainly a cosmetic thing. |

The prologue case was awesome! I like the references to previous cases you made during the trial. It was really cool how you made the little sprites move, too! I can't wait to play the rest of your cases :D and Hooray for the smooth jazz |

So, I finally got around to creating a Tumblr account. I was thinking that I'm gonna use it as a sort of "Ask Conflict of Interest" type thing, where people can ask questions to the different characters in the game. Would anybody be interested in this kind of thing? Would people actually participate in it? Or would this be way more trouble than it's worth? |

Quote: 1. The ''Ace Attorney'' logo and Wright's silhouette look a bit pixelated (while everything else looks smooth). 2. I wonder why you didn't switch to a logo from Dual Destinies (since you decided to use Wright's artwork from GS5 and his GS5-inspired sprites). Phoenix has a new hairdo in it. *cough*May I help you?*cough* |

An interview I did with Fuandon was just put up on his Youtube channel. For those with an interest in me, this series, or case-making in general, you should check it out. This may become a thing with other casemakers in the future, it seems. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mS3jS2EVu20&feature=c4-overview&list=UUx_fnZrsOhCgLrr7OnKW46w |

Ropfa, I think we need to have a talk. See, I recently played your fangame Turnabout on the Web and found myself enjoying it much less than I should have, and I think I know why. I went into the case knowing that the victim was a hikikomori who spent all his time on the internet, and that we would have to go online at some point during the trial. There were two routes you could go with this. You could make a clever case where you took advantage of the disconnect between online pseudonyms and real-life identities to create drama w/r/t the holders of online handles. Alternatively, you could fill your case with references to memes and stereotypical internet dwellers fluent in 13375P3@|<. When I heard the opening drumbeat to "Never Gonna Give You Up" come from the victim's stereo, I knew this case was gonna lean towards the latter option. Spoiler: Turnabout on the Web TL;DR: The omnipresent internet memes end up hurting what should have been a dark, intelligent case. I have faith that Turnabout Consequences will return to the quality level of the previous two cases, simply because the aspects that dragged this case down will be absent by design. Anyway, just be careful with the humor in the next case-- lest it drag the quality of the case down. |

Turnabout Guy, if you are going to post the killer's name, you need to do so in a SPOILERS BOX. There are still people who haven't played this. Voodoo Lady, you bring up some good points. However, many of them seem to be subjective. Different people find different things funny, and that's okay. To many, I don't think the killer was quite as obvious as you felt he/she was, as I know for a fact there is a large group of people who were suspecting somebody completely different. (And let's be honest... There are only a handful of canon AA games where the bad guy isn't blatantly obvious from the start.) Spoiler: In any case, thank you for your feedback. Good or bad, I'm grateful that you're responding. |

I actually probably won't be giving a synopsis for that case. It's hard for me to explain the premise of it without giving away too much. In exchange, I'll post this character who will be showing up in Turnabout Consequences. I already showed her in Fuandon's interview, but I haven't posted her on this site yet. Meet Gladys Porter.

Post subject: | Re: PW: Conflict of Interest (New boxart!!!) |
UPDATE TIME!!! Progress for the next cases is going along well. I just finished the rough draft of the first trial section in TCon, bringing the first half of the case up to 85 pages. The second half is going to be really long, but I already have a bunch of it written (about another 60 pages already complete). It might be possible for me to get the next investigation finished, since I have a 21 hour plane flight this next week. I actually think investigations are easier to write for, so that shouldn't be too hard. My current estimate is that this will be SLIGHTLY longer than the other two big cases. As far as art, I've made a few different poses for a few characters, but most of what I've got to show is already in here or my sprite thread. Voodoo Lady offered to help with some stuff, so that should hopefully speed things along. Gathered a bunch of new interface stuff, thanks to the packages Percei yanked from AJ and AAI. Props to you, man. Can't give an estimate for when the first chapter might be released. However, I'm planning to send out another update for the first three cases sometime before, with some updated sprites, updated dialogue, bug fixes, and some more improvements to the main menu. Finally, my idea for a Conflict of Interest Tumblr never really took off. However, if anybody has questions for the characters in this game, shoot me a message and they'll answer it for you in this thread. (Please note that I may not respond to a question if it involves spoilers for future cases.) OPERATION ASK COI INITIATED Ropfa out. |
