Hi everyone, I'm beginning the very long overdue implementation of my fan game script I wrote back in 2015.
Just making this thread to keep tabs on this project and also share its progress. At this stage it is by no means in a playable state.
At the moment I'm currently making all the sprites, and some music, and hope to get something playable out there for people to test soon.
**Please note, unless explicitly mentioned here or elsewhere, assets shared here aren't for public use.**
Stella's sprite set and the Trilogy textbox update, however, are!
**VERSION 0.989 OF PYWRIGHT RECOMMENDED FOR THIS!**
**PLEASE PLAY IN DUAL SCREEN MODE**
You can download this version of PYWright from here: LINK
Please see below for a preview of what I have so far:

Oooh awesome, I just beat Case 3 of Trials after Justice and was sad I had nothing else to look forward to. And then this post happens. I'm gonna be keeping a close eye on this project, please please be sure to stick to it to the end. I can't live with another unfinished title like the one I just beat
Aww thanks!
This has been an on and off project for a while, and I'm hoping to actually stick to it this time!
I'll give my next update when investigation Day 1 of the case I'm currently working on is in a playable state (Most likely still using some placeholder sprites and music).

Here's a list of known inconsistencies I just don't know how to code. If someone could assist, that'd be amazing!

I've reworked investigation day 1, and have written a plan for trial day 1.
I'm currently having artists block making all the new sprites I need... So that's gonna slow things down a little. Hopefully that won't last too long.

I've begun working on this again though, and decided, to ease myself back into to making all of this art, I should draw the box art for the characters. Hopefully that will be the next up (and you'll get to see my Prosecutor).

I don't know if this is much of an update, but I've not progressed much since last update. I'm currently working on another case with an AAO member for an AAO competition, which has been my focus for the short term.

Your sprites are really well made so I'm looking forward to seeing more! Let me know if you need someone to test out things when you make the trial portion!

Thank you! I need time to make even more sprites before I can finish case 2. Once those are made, it should just be a matter of implementing all the text and scenes. Hopefully when my exams are over with I'll get back to this. Once it's done, I'm more than happy to share it with you for playtesting!
At the moment, I still need to make full sets for the defence, prosecution, co-counsel, and some other missing poses, so yeah there are heaps more sprites down the line. Thankfully once the courtroom sprites are made, they can be re-used in all my other cases, so it's necessary prep-work.

I'll be reworking my progress for case 2 - basically it's too short content wise, and I want to add a little more content to the opening investigation.
I've been actively working on some art assets in the mean time, and have recently shared in my sprite thread a new character appearing in a future case, named Rita Corda (named by risefromtheashes).
I look forward to you meeting her down the line!
I also don't think I've shared this game's main prosecutor, so here's a little information on her:
Her name's Priscilla Cutter (named by SpeckledMoose343) and is a former colleague of Wendy Owen, Colton's sister and mentor. While she might have a cold exterior, Priscilla genuinely cares about her work and has a strong ethical compass. At the moment, she has no gimmick planned yet, but I hope the senior-junior dynamic between her and Colton during the court segments demonstrates just how ruthless she can be when it comes to upholding the law. She's certainly not a pushover.

I'm hoping to have part 1 of case 2 in a playable state by the end of the year, and will update the OP with new details about how this game is going to work.

Some visual changed to the UI have been implemented:
I'm now working on the prosecutor's sprite set:
Not going to lie, if people would like to assist with some sprite animations (matching/improving on my quality), please let me know! Would help me push things out faster haha.

Are you, by chance, going to present us also a whole new Judge?
Atm that's the plan, but the main judge is currently placeholder until I work out a design. It's hard because the judge is a constant amongst all AA games and changing him could indicate the Judge has a specific role in the story.

Seeing that new UI got me way too impressed; really, I was all like "OHHH NEW UI OOOOOOOOOOO-"
Thanks! I'm hoping it adds a unique flavour to my fan game. I really want to show how this isn't really set in the canon, but is its own thing following the AA formula.
I'm currently working out some technical issues with day 2 of case 1, but the case itself is progressing! I recently completed animating the sprites for my defense attorney Colton, for the prosecutor, for one of the witnesses and co-counsel sprites for the mentor, which finalises all the sprites for day 1's investigation and trial.
That doesn't mean my work's over. I have some more poses to make for 2 more characters, and then on the sprite front, case 1's assets are all made.
Day 2's overall structure is planned, and it's just a matter now of making all the assets and learning how to code some specific things I've not seen in any previous PYWright case. One of these being 3D evidence. I finally learned how to texture the models but now it's programming the examine regions that I need to decipher XD
Spoiler: large screenshot
In the meantime, I figured I'd share some concept art for the first case's defendant, Axel Steele.
Spoiler: Images galore

You've always had that great artstyle and what seems to be a deep lore behind some of your OC's, I'm excited to see you finally working on a fangame, let-alone a single case. Good luck, AJ!
Aww thank you!

AFAIR the method for determining examine regions for 3D evidence is the same as for investigations, only instead of background you place your coordinates on a texture file, which is, after all, twodimensional.
OOH THE TEXTURES OK that helps me decipher the numbers a little LOL I was thinking I had to somehow specify rotation. I'll give that a go and see if it works. Thank you!
EDIT: Got it working! Adding examine regions caused a new issue where you could only examine something once and then future examine attempts wouldn't work, but I found a workaround and testing seems to have worked. So that's now done! I can move on to the next segment!

I'm having a little writer's block for case 1 and also struggling to animate the breakdown for case 1, but I have it planned at the very least. Once I complete that and another set of sprites, I basically have all the assets I need for case 1 complete and I'll be implementing it all!
I want to get these out at a decent speed, but at the same time do things at my own pace so I don't rush and regret certain corners being cut. To keep people interested for the time being, I might as well talk about another character appearing in the case, being Stella.

The final trial segment will showcase a brand new ability for Colton, and much like all the things I've been doing with this case, I need make the assets for it. I've done most of them, but the initial template I made might need some revising, so I'll see how I go.
I'm getting excited knowing this work will soon pay off! ...And then I'm only 1/4 done with the fangame LMAO
I was thinking of who to preview next, and I figured it'd be the game's main detective, Addeline Winters.

I'm hoping I can organise my time a little better to still release the case by April, but it might be a bit later.

I plan to release case 1 in the next few months, and hopefully before 2022 (it's looking to be that long)... I still need to draw some co-counsel sprites, a breakdown, and the assets for my new game mechanic, tentatively titled "Objection.exe". I hope to share more of this soon! Honestly, the asset creation is what's taking me the most time. I'm struggling to think of unique poses for each character, and need a solid few hours blocked out for each pose. I hope this time will be sped up the more I draw.
That being said, here are some character designs that are hot off the press! These characters will be appearing in future cases, and more info on them will be shared in due time.
That's it for now, but I felt the need to post because it's almost May and I did say I'd try to get something done by April... I'm hoping once I release case 1, that some other interested people might offer to assist with things like scripting and asset creation. I feel a bit cheap asking now before anything concrete has been released to play right now.

Investigation Day 2 has been completed and is currently being beta-tested. I'm working full time now so progress will be slow, but I'm getting there!
I've also opened a discord server a few weeks back where I've been posting regular progress updates. Let me know if you'd like to join and I'll send an invite.
As for future plans, here are some previews for case 2!
(Here are some of the characters appearing in Case 2.)

Short thing to note. I'm working full time now so progress is slow but not halted.
Since the last update I have:
- redone the UI almost entirely
- reworked my story to make the final trial flow more naturally
- added new sprites to Colton's animation set, and done some key art for the trial.
- received some wonderful new songs from AJTheProgrammer and Cleverhardy to use
- Planned my layout for trial day 2 and begun implementing it into the script.
I really want to get this done for you all! I'm excited to share more as I make it!
Here's the final UI in action. I'm finally satisfied with how it looks!
