Actually, I rejected it because the quality was poor. Not only that, your voice was too high. So I'm sticking with Janet Hsu's recording.

To put it bluntly, your audition wasn't good at all. It's just like what GyakutenFanatic/Me stated in the previous posts. This is NOT a personal attack or anything.
I am just saying that your audition could've been better or voiced by another person entirely.

ImageI changed my mind, I was going to use Gaspen Payne instead of Winston Payne. And FYI, it's "Franziska", not "Fransizka". Blizdi suggested that I used the old voice.

I'd just like to say I'm extremely sorry for the absence of sprites I've been producing. I'm still alive, but I've picked up two new interests (Danganronpa and Doctor Who), and It's been hard to focus on other things. I'll start working again wither tonight or tomorrow. I can, however, put up the PyWright formatted sprites on here, given you still need them.

That's cool, but thanks anyway. I'll send you descriptions for the rest of Fang's sprites, and I updated Angelina's design, so I'll tell you those too.

I've done some adjustments to Case 2, it's now renamed "The Birthday Turnabout". It's the day of Athena Cykes' 20th birthday, and she has a surprise visitor, but then a murder occurs, and Athena steps up to take on the case.

And a message for VideoGameTaco: How are the sprites coming up?

Depending on how interlinked the plots of the cases are, it might be better for him to plan them together, so he can avoid story problems later on. It's always a good idea to know what you have planned for the rest of the game.

Um, as I think about it some, isn't case four's story kind of problematic? I understand Apollo being arrested for the murder, but Athena should kind of know that Apollo didn't attack her, and since she's an eyewitness, it's kind of strange that Apollo gets arrested. Maybe you've got an explanation, idk. Just a possible plot-hole that could affect the case.

He wasn't criticizing it. From the summary we have in front of us, it does seem like a plot hole. He addressed it to see if you had a solution to the problem (or if you were aware of the problem).

Think of it less like criticism and more like helping your game become as good as it can possibly be. Criticism is something that you're going to deal with a lot here, and if you want to make a fangame, you're gonna have to learn how to deal with it.

As a fangame creator myself, it's true that you shouldn't let other people control what you do with your game. Too many cooks spoil the broth.
However, you also don't want to just brush off other people when they point out potentially huge plotholes. You should be able to find some sort of happy medium. You should be able to take criticism while still maintaining your own artistic integrity. If you leave in big problems, your players will notice them, and then there will be a very good chance that the case won't be received well. And THEN, I guarantee you that the criticism will be even more widespread.

I have been working on sprites alot lately, focusing on reworking Angelina's sprites. Posting has been nonexistent, however, because of school work. But all major school grades are over with and we're in like the last three weeks so I should be working a whole lot more soon! :redd:

Question: Is Lena just always holding a book (besides, of course, when she hasn't dropped it)? Also, when you say her hand is on her left hip, does that mean her left or my left?

And THEN, I guarantee you that the criticism will be even more widespread.

[rant]
Basically what he said - don't let other people control your ideas. But that's not what I'm trying to do - as JesusMonroe and Ropfa have stated, I'm trying to help you by pointing out a potential plot-hole in your case. Trust me, as someone who's been in the fangame creating business myself for 2+ years now (I'm just not on CR very often since I use AAO), you're going to come to greatly appreciate people like me who can give you this kind of criticism. Attacking me for giving you criticism is going to do nothing for you but give you a bad-rep and a lack of anymore criticism, and, harsh truth as it is, when your fan-game releases, there's going to be potentially serious problems.

If you'd prefer me to not give you such criticism, then I won't, just tell me. But when you release your fangame and there's numerous errors, don't come crying to anyone else because you couldn't take any gentle constructive criticism. I know that from experience - I'm two revamps into my own fangame because early on, I didn't know how to take criticism well either. And that didn't leave me in a very good position, because I KNOW from experience that if you ignore the people who advise you, stuff is going to go wrong. It happened to me, and I promise you 100% that it can and will happen to you if you ignore criticism because you have a false pretense that your case is "perfect". It happened to Macbeth after all, didn't it? :P

Don't get me wrong here - I have high hopes for your fan-game and I'm very interested to see where it goes. But fangames on this scale have a very high fail rate, like it or not. I might've said this before (I think I did), but most don't make it past the first case, and some flop before even that accomplishment.

Accepting criticism is an important fact of life. Enthalpy from AAO (one of the most well-known critiquers there) used to have this handy quote from Churchill in his signature:
"Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body; it calls attention to the development of an unhealthy state of things. If it is heeded in time, danger may be averted; if it is suppressed, a fatal distemper may develop."

No, I haven't started the rest of those yet, and yes, I can get started on those. But you have to remember, I can only work so fast with working on my own sprites periodically, school work, and taking breaks.

I made some artwork for Angelina (Using the same base art for Darklaw as the first) Hopefully you like it!

Her left pointer finger looks a little weird, though.

Amazing! And while I'm at it, I made an OST-style poster for the game, using the same style that me and darkcompgeek used.

Sorry about the delays (I've been more focused on spriting), but here are some character info for Case 2!

Krystine Collins, 22, Singer: A pop singer who debuted before Athena returned to the US, going by the stage name of "Krystal" (No, I did not copy Star Fox!). But when her manager is murdered before her next concert, Krystine ends up as the defendant, and it's up to Athena to defend her!

Dante Kurr, 22, Rapper: The defendant's childhood friend, and a rap singer who was to feature in her next concert before the manager's death. Don't mean to be racist, but he's white. His style is just like Bret from Flight of the Conchords in the song "Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros". (Rapping about reality)

I haven't worked in a while because i've been working super hard to get late work in for school, but school ended last Friday :D

So that means I can sell more of my soul to you than previously available. A Lena bench sprite preview is done, I'll get that uploaded soon. The sprite goes to the bottom of the screen rather than cutting off, but I didn't feel like dealing with having to draw her hands or book. If you plan on using the non-visible parts of the sprite for anything, just say so and I'll draw them in real quick like.

So that's the update! No school and I'm back to work >:D

Hey dude, Just a random thought, But are you going to make sure you have consistent grammar, because THAT is the difference between a good case and an amazing case, you get me?

What does 'consistent grammar' mean?
