Okay, so, just gonna post this A YEAR LATE bc what else can ya do with it?
Y'all see a bit earlier in my posts how I was writing my own Themis Trio fangame? Yeeaahh, well, I originally conceptualized it in 2015, but my brainstorming-to-writing process is so frustratingly long that even now I haven't done much past the outline and a few scenes of dialogue.
And then Spirit of Justice came out in 2016, and either I, a Capcom employee, or BOTH are unknowing mind readers bc my fangame had a LOT in common with SoJ:
A character named Amara (though mine was like a Penny Nichols-level minority, so...)
The detective is SUPER sassy (OC)
A peppy child character that helps out while being super adorable/a child character whose traumatic memories of a family member's death come out after the death of their archaeologist father who help bring their father's killer down while also getting closure (YES, somehow I had a character that basically rolled Ahlbi and Armie into one, and yes the father was... almost an archaeologist. A palaeontologist, actually.)
The reappearance of an established character's up-til-this-point absent family (bc the O'Conner parents' motives intrigue me)
A character is bribed into committing murder
A non-murder case that becomes a murder case (in this case, theft... which becomes drug-trafficking, which becomes-)
Characters we haven't seen in a while come back
The final case is not in Japanifornia (I used Anchorage, Alaska, bc... Alaska)
So yeah, not really sure if I should even attempt to work on it again, but I fell in love with my own characters and even if they will never see the light of day, I don't think I can remove them from my headcanon. If anyone at all wants to know who these characters are, or what the outline was, let me know however tumblr lets people know these things and I'll post it separately.
