Hey everyone!! I’m Asami, one of the people working on the art team and I suppose one of the mods in this blog, but I’ve mostly just watching up until now. (Acc here: @strawberii-symphonii) Sorry for the inconsistency, but I promise we’re still working in the background. I’ll most likely pop in whenever I want to get feedback from you guys!

So for the overall story for the game, would you like to see references only to the main games, or are you also open to ones from other sources like the anime and manga? Either way, we'll have our own spin on it, but we won't divert from canon too much.

progress report!

the last progress report was NOT 3 months ago you are INSANE. anyway,

seriously though, apologies for the lack of formal updates on this project. we seem to have accidentally left you in the dark a little...

so, what's going on?

we are making slow but sure progress on the vn; it's been a little hard because a lot of us have started work, school, etc - but we're definitely still here!

most of the current progress has been on character concepts!! our lovely artists have been working hard to design some incredible new outfits for our beloved characters :-)

this is not to say that nothing is going on in the other areas, though! our writers have been coming up with really cool ideas for routes and decisions you'll have to make throughout the visual novel, too, and our programmer and co. have been brainstorming ui, controls, and other small but crucial details that make the game flow as they should ^_^

i think that's it for the general update, there may be art and programming specific updates coming soon(?)

programming/general update hey, everyone!! i don't think actually showing you the code itself would actually be all that interesting 😭 so i'll just give you a quick rundown! i've finished programming all the dialogue for the intro scene into the game, and also customized the gui! we're going for a warmer colour scheme, and i think it turned out real cute :D an image gallery and the classic ace attorney text beeps have also been added! we also TECHNICALLY have one route completely programmed! @veysa-loser made this incredible art for the ending, and i decided immediately that it was shitpost material. what is the route?? you'll have to play and see, silly got the .midi file for a cruel angel's thesis from bitmidi! used a combination of the aai1 and aa:pw soundfonts, shared by iteachvader and sunfunblue on musical artifacts! i put both into musescore and reassigned the instruments to parts myself. ALSO you can use the tag #tp1 if you want to create fan stuff for us in the future

hope you enjoyed this silly little thing! see you in the next one. - placid

writing progress report!

hii guys welcome to the first official progress report for tp1 ^_^

routes!

okay routes! so far we've got these as finalised routes:

miles edgeworth (romantic / ??) kristoph gavin (romantic?) iris fey (romantic / platonic) maya fey (platonic) apollo justice and trucy wright (platonic) larry butz (platonic / ...? ) ??? (???)

and these as potential route ideas:

godot/diego armando (platonic) sebastian debeste and kay faraday (platonic)

the route list may be edited and more routes may be removed and added at any time!!!

most of the routes on the finalised route list have been blocked out with ideas already - funnily enough, the route we have the MOST development is, well, larry's . you can thank placid for that one 💥💥

extra!

we have a bunch of fun cameos lined up, so be on the lookout for those! some are route specific, some aren't. pray for your faves, okay?

we're having lots of fun in the discord server, so also be on the lookout for the occasional teaser post for routes, features, etc! placid will be handling the programming and audio section of this blog, and tama the art! we will . figure out audio later ☝️

remember, too; this is a passion project and none of us are getting paid, so there's no set release date or anything - it's just something we're doing out of love for art, writing, programming, and the ace attorney games 🫶🫶

this has been a fun progress report - keep your eyes peeled for more!
