Saturn Fib: Ace Attorney

@papujack Since you haven't played the original series, I strongly recommend it. As for why I'm complaining about the references, it's because it's over abundant. If the references affected the story, I wouldn't mind as much, but more often than not, they're complete cameos. Rather than appearing naturally, it feels rather forced, like the author was trying to jam as many characters names into the story possible and not really have them do anything. Like imagine if your friends just came out of the theater after seeing a movie and was talking about. Now say one friend started talking like "YEAH LIKE OH MY GAWD I SAW THAT." "REMEMBER HOW THAT MOVIE ENDED?" "LIKE WHO KNEW BATMAN WOULD BE IN A BATMAN MOVIE!?" There's like unnecessary reminders and recaps.

I got around to playing your second case. So far it's been alright, but I still feel that there were too many references to the canon. The cases are almost name-dropping characters and events. Like even within the real games, they don't usually talk about cases or characters that are not present or relevant unless they are supposed to pop up later in the case. In both of your games, there seems to be a lot of mentions of names and events. The Hawthorn diamond reference was alright, but the names of the canonical gangs was not necessary. The first case gave Gavin too much presence, stating that he was Fib's prior mentor and apparently a celebrity defense attorney. The Yatagarasu was thrown in, despite it only appearing in the Miles Edgeworth titles. The second game mentioned Edgeworth a bit, but the case isn't finished yet, so I'm not sure whether he appears or not. Wright's loss was a bit over-dramatized and rushed, making the story feel awkward and unnatural. The second game's language is a bit deviant from the titles. Like I can't imagine Gumshoe ever saying "Damn right." On top of that, there was mention of a one night stand.

Ah I used to go on that website. Some of the cases are pretty well constructed, but majority of them are either bad or nonsensical. Like everyone has their own train of logic. While the official Ace Attorney titles do their best to limit the logic choices you can make in a certain order and drop cues often, many of the fan cases leave give you a general idea of what you need to do, but not where you need to go. On top of that, the game tends to be glitchy.

Your case was pretty easy to follow. The clues were sufficiently placed in the dialogue and there wasn't a lot of redundant items. However, I do feel that your attempts to incorporate the canonical story into the game is a little overbearing.

By the way, the opening court scene is a bit off. The dialogue says "Saturn! boolean guilty = true; if(guilty) {electric chair = true;} I'm so done foooooooooor!" and "Saturn... Please help me... string answer << cin;" Payne claims that he lost to Mia "5 years ago." Wright wasn't a lawyer until about 6 or 7 years after his case.

How about Death Stars? I'm willing to bet Disney owns a few and has them patented already.

Wheels and the Leg Girl!

Is there a McDonald's Planet? If yes is there a Pokemon planet?

Sounds like Ace Attorney. I look forward to the finished product!
Also, it's a little strange how they don't have Data on humans, but you have JcPenny's, Sears, Office Max, and a lot of well known (Earth) stores.
