EDIT: The game is now available to have a look at and play, though it is still a work-in-progress! The link is here:
http://www.aaonline.fr/player.php?trial_id=99839Hello everyone,
I just thought I would post about this to gauge some interest, since it's something a little bit different.
At the moment I am using Ace Attorney Online to create a visual novel-style Edgeworth dating sim, using, of course, elements from Ace Attorney (investigation, presenting, conversations, having a court record etc.). I am basing this on a Japanese dream-novel style fanfiction (Google "Yume Shousetsu" - don't want to lengthen this out by explaining it here!) I came across last year and thoroughly enjoyed. I was originally just making it for fun/to practise my translation, but I thought there might be others who would enjoy it, so I contacted the original author to ask if she would be happy with me officially translating, adapting and releasing it. She gave me the go-ahead, so long as I give credit to her for the original story, and make it clear that the translation and adaptation is my own work, and she has had no input in it. As such, the original site with the fanfiction is here:
http://id25.fm-p.jp/423/yumeizuru/ The game will be based on the first two Mitsurugi (Edgeworth) stories, as they are two parts of the same series. It basically focuses on the relationship between Edgeworth and the female protagonist, whom he is training to become a prosecutor, gradually developing feelings for each other. I should also mention that there's no sexual content, and it should be suitable for ages 13+. It is also entirely linear, as it is based on a fanfic - but there are interactive elements where, for example, what is in the original story a conversation, I have added in the opportunity to present evidence, examine the background etc., for some fun conversations I have written/will write myself.
At the moment I have more or less completed 11/15 chapters for the original part 1 (about 2500 frames at the moment) - I would like to gauge what kind of interest there would be in this project, as I know it's pretty niche, and very much female-oriented, so I honestly have no idea what kind of response to expect.
As well as putting it out there for anybody who just wants to play for fun, I am also looking for
playtesters!
Please let me know if you would be interested in this or in being a playtester, or any comments or questions you may have!
Here's a quick taster of something I've done for it: (This is also where I find out whether or not gifs work on this site...)
Thank you for reading!
