(I had no idea where to make this thread or if this has been done before.)

I recently read this article at Gamesradar.
I've only had time to play the TF2 one, (hit 'Do it live', by the way) but its general gameplay and use of music and even sound effects from Ace Attorney made me think that someone should try to do a little fangame on there.

I don't know if it would be easier or harder than the Casemaker thing, but hey. It'd be pretty cool and accessible. You could even do live action with cosplayers or something!

Wow, this looks pretty cool.

I'm trying out the TF2 one as well, it's quite fun.

By the way, I think this is in the wrong section, shouldn't it be moved to the Press Conference?

I loved it.
The AAI music and Pursuit ~ Caught 2004 made it even more awesome. :hobohodo:

About the live action one that was recommnended in the article, the same people did another one that's much cooler and has ridiculously better production values. So I'd check that out.

Meenyman - I was looking at it from an Ace Attorney direction, (someone here with the skill should totally make one) but it didn't seem to fit in fan games or in fanstuffs or whatever. So wherever the mods put it.

Tacas - Yeah, I really liked the victorious music from Investigations at the end.

Finished playing it awhile ago, and was just so happy seeing AA references/music in it.

Hehe, now I feel like looking for some other interactive videos.

Someone did try to do this a whiiiiiiiiiiiiile ago. The project was probably abandoned.

Anyway, I think casemakers would be much better for Phoenix Wright. You can scroll through the text at your own rate, you don't need to make separate buttons and choices for each evidence piece, you don't need to load a new page for each segment, and I'd imagine that it would be easier to just select the background, sprite, and text for each frame than doing that and then making a video for it.

I agree to this. The time I did the TF2 one, my internet connection was really slow, so I played through it quite slowly.
