Truth is, you're not going to get a lot of people for this. One, the fan game making scene on Court Records, author-wise, is fairly small from what I'm seeing. Two, not everyone is going to be acquainted with PyWright, much less how to make an entire case around it from the start. And three, unless everyone works together from the get-go to somehow tie all these cases together -- how would it be any different than individuals (or team) just announcing their own cases and proceeding to work on their own pace? Technically, you'd then call this entire section "The Court-Records Files". And if you
do have them work together... then how is it any different than having a team for a single fan game? Were you trying to suggest that everyone is just told a rough idea of what a case should be and then left to their own devices? That could lead to a lot of continuity errors. And with so few things being finished, what happens if one of the case makers just drops out? Risky.
Mind you, the thought's crossed my mind (with the AAO engine in mind, though, since it would be easy to just look at the other members' progress), but again -- lack of participants would still be an issue.
The
closest thing to this that has so far worked the best are the
case competitions on AAO. Instead of working on one game, though, it's people independently working on cases on a set theme. (Obviously, all cases are made on AAO, though.)
That one guy from AAO that made about a dozen cases that all kinda go off the deep end and fall apart at one point or another.
