Sorry for being quiet. A personal issue with my family's health and a miscommunication between doctors kept me away and unable to maintain this project for a bit.

I came back to work to see that MV will be coming out shortly. I've already gotten a copy, and will be taking the project over due to the ease of controls and possibilities of lightening the work load since Mundy is VERY familiar with javascript and html. Sadly with Ruby we'd both struggle at times and needed outside help more often than not. This won't make things easier, but it will make them faster.


All resources are still valid. Nothing is being redone from scratch. No time is lost.

The native mouse system is something I've really needed due to Shaz's script requiring so much work and tweaking with Venka's and Nio's help. This
is a dream come true for this project and initially why I wanted to start it ahead of time to see if I could manage with ACE. Now I can get
this looking and functioning better and still retain the different look from most of the games you will be seeing with MV.

Anyone who contributed during the ACE development will still be credited for their work. I have no reservations in giving people credit where credit is due.
I hope this means we can see them again on the MV side of things.

As of two weeks ago all resources needed to complete the first court scene are done, and the puzzles are being constructed now. A few adjustments will get them to the new resolution standards. Everyone did everything in HQ big versions which will scale to any size. What a life saver =3

Sorry- my old rig of 6 years decided it would keel over. No information was lost and I was already in the process of getting a new more advanced system. Everything is up to the point I am able to resume now. I even have a new master file system in place to keep things running smoother if I need to make adjustments and fubar the re-sizing of portraits with hotkeys again.

Makio is turning out what she can before the IGMC, and I'll be showing a few things in an update before going on hiatus myself to work on the contest. It is slated to start sometime in June.

Scythuz has done a wonderful job with some custom SEs. I'll be sharing a preview of those soon when soundcloud decides it wants to cooperate.


If you want to see something specific from devlopment, now is the time to request it. I'm pulling the last of the necessary files from the old drive tonight.

I am busy getting together some video of the courtroom scenes. Till then enjoy a few vantage points from Mundy of the backgrounds he designed from scratch in blender. The thicker outline helps lend itself a bit more the style, but what do you think?


Testimony elements are in the works. Would you like to see different icons, or something similar to blue prints instead?


Are the busts too big for your tastes? We can resize them based on your feedback or leave them as is.


Would you like a custom font for explicit moments, or keep the stock font the way it is? We have a template for the verbal shouts, and can customize it in a way to fit the style of the game better.

Lots of exciting things, starting with a new GUI. I've added scan lines to the dialogue window here as well. you can take a look for the differences in the updated screen shot

Jayce and Stacy's puzzle resources are being worked on, and the solution/failure overlays have been completed.

I'll be posting more screen shots shortly. HUD buttons have begun to have their placeholders redone.


Character sprites are continuing to be worked on.
