Premise: 23 years after the events of Spirit of Justice, a new defense attorney steps up to the plate. Myles Wright, the son of Phoenix Wright, has finally achieved his dream of continuing his father's legacy. With his attorney badge proudly pinned on his lapel, he jumps on the first cases he can get. Unfortunately, his eagerness comes back to haunt him as he's thrown into a series of events that turn his world inside-out. With a serial killer hot on his trail, can Myles live up to his father's namesake? Or will he fall, just like Phoenix Wright did 8 years ago?

So, yeah. Finally got the balls to actually put this out there. I've had this idea floating around in my head for...around 2 years now, although it never really materialized until last year. I don't want to say it's been a year of work, since I lost interest for quite some time. I'd say it's probably around 5 months of work right now.
As with most other fangames, I'd love to have some help with this. The big one is obviously spriting. I want to stress this first: Although I am by no means an artist, I am willing to make the sprites on my own. I'm very much a perfectionist, however, so it would take a long time for me to get anywhere. I'm also willing to use other fan sprites if the load of making so many sprites is too much. However, I'd absolutely be thrilled if someone with actual art experience could help. At the very least, criticism would be appreciated. Other than that, I'll need proofreaders, and in general it'd be awesome if someone would like to help out with planning. It'd help a ton if there was someone I could bounce ideas off of, and hopefully it'd help prevent me from making any major story/case mistakes.
One last note: Motivation has been really up and down so far. Hopefully posting this will help me stay motivated, but who knows. It's a big undertaking, so I can't guarantee too much.
So...that's about it. Any critique is helpful!

As for the hair lines, I suggest maybe adding highlights like this or at least anti-alias it more like this (sorry for the lack of effort in these).
highlighting
anti-aliasingIn any case, I still think the sprites are good. Good luck on your project!

I forgot to put this in the main post, so I'll just mention it right here. If anyone wanted to do the voice acting for Myles or Robinson, just let me know.

EDIT: Most of Apollo's sprites are now done. They still need animating, but the bases for each one should be about complete.

On another note, I do have a question for you guys. I'm hoping to have mostly different music for the game, but I can't really nail down a good objection theme. Do you guys know if any tracks that could potentially work as objection themes?
EDIT: In case your wondering what "style" I'm going for, the track I'm currently using is Mars from Sengoku Rance.

So it's really a fitting choice for an objection theme since every time it plays

I think scratched means done without a base. ie. not a recolor/frankensprite

With school starting, progress has been...slower. Add in the fact that I forgot to back up the sprites I had been recently working on and, well, there hasn't been a ton of progress. I did create an album for Angela's sprites though, which you can also check out in the main post.

As I said way back when I kicked this off, motivation is all over the place. There'll be times where I have a spurt of creativity and finish some sprites, or re-write part of the script, but it dies out pretty quickly. While I'm not particularly happy with the look of some of my sprites, at this point I'm just trying to get them done. The quality isn't where I want it to be, but if I wanted everything to be perfect then I'd never be able to get anything out.
So, progress is still moving slowly. I don't like using community sprites, but I may resort to that for the time being in order to get something out there. I've updated a lot of sprites, created the logo, and finished the voice clips/soundtrack, but it'll still be a little while before anything is finished. My current goal is to just get the first cross-examination out as a demo, which will still require a good chunk of sprites to be finished up.

I'm not sure what got into me, but I've suddenly gotten back into working on this. Might be due to the insane amount of free time I currently have, but the important thing is that development is finally continuing! Yeah, this stupid game isn't dead yet!
While it won't be much, I have enough sprites finished to get a small demo out. Won't be much (just the first cross-examination) but I'd rather get that out than delay it while I work on the remaining 12ish sprites that need to be done. I still need to animate the sprites and get everything coded, but barring any unfortunate circumstances I can at least promise that I'll be getting this part done soon. Again, it's not much, but it's still something!
As a small little update, I can at least show off a bit of what I've been working on sprite-wise - Yet another re-design for Myles.
While I'm still not quite satisfied with it, it's leaps and bounds better than what I had before, and my focus now is just on getting something playable.

However, while I continue working on the case, I want to pose a different question. I'm currently unsure of what I want the Pursuit theme to be. I've narrowed it down to two choices: Divine Bloodlines and Out of Time. So, I'll let you guys decide using a quick Strawpoll: Which would you prefer?

But yeah I'm definitely interested in playing the first case, since it sounds like it's coming pretty soon.
This CYOA follows Vesti Gates and Lauren Tehra, two detectives who search for the truth, whether in their own dimension or otherwise.

It’s a bit misleading, as the two new cases (Abyss and Imperial) used to just be a part of Freefall and Legacy, respectively. It makes more narratively to split them up, so it’s not like I just added two more The Ensnared Turnabout’s or anything.
I’ve got one other new(?) mechanic that I’m excited for that I’ll be adding. It’s nothing major, just something fun I added in. I’ve gotta beef up a few parts of the script and beta-test, but I should have the case out very soon hopefully.
