Terezi Pyrope: Ace Attorney Dev. Thread 2, (Subtitle TBA)

[radcat101]

Yeah, Vyro, I just came ambling out of the metaphorical woodwork. You most definitely shouldn't feel obliged to use anything I've already created!

As you are lead script/story person, how about I send you what I have thus far and you mull it over and make a decision?

[Perrino]

@Alphadin I have a question. If you are starting to lean toward "very original graphics," we will still be keeping the Alterniabound style to them, correct?
What you said by original graphics was pretty vague for me, so I am just making sure. If we get "too original," then the games graphics are getting dangerously close to unorganized. . .

I thought we were using RTTC.

[Vyro P. Dragon III]

[SIZE=1]@Vyro Actually, Flare-Dragon suggested that we try new cases, sense the majority of the team is new now.
Being the lead script writter, wouldn't you be the one deciding to go with your stuff or something from the old plans? Just thinking out loud here.

I suppose that's true...

That would be nice actually. Even if I don't actually use the whole case idea itself, I can try to incorporate some elements.

[Alphadin]

@tano
of course we're sticking to the art style. of mainly K:RTTC

[Flare-Dragon]

(I really should keep up more regularly -_-)
Make sure you tell me if I missed anyone that I shouldn't've, but:
As for the art style, aren't AlterniaBound and RTTC similar anyway? Aiming for the RTTC style (whatever differences it has) is probably best, but unless it's outrightly noticed, I think those Aradia sprites look pretty good
@radcat101
So you're wanting to be a writer/story person in general? Sweet. As far as that outline for your 'Case 3', we could either mash it with one of the other cases, or we could just use it for Case 4, unless anyone has objections (no pun intended). If so, then maybe we can stretch to 6 cases and include this as Case 5 and have the 'Ultimate Case' as Case 6. If there's NO POSSIBLE WAY TO USE IT, only THEN would we scrap it. But I would use anything we can, since the more, the merrier. And as far as old case/new case goes, I do say that going with new cases is a good way to go because a new staff we have (knowing full well it also includes old staff), BUT it doesn't mean we CAN'T have old cases.

@aradiasprite
-collar's looking flat or are they supposed to?
-might want to thin the inner sleeve line a bit
-tsurupettan?

btw funbento can i like

improvise on your vriska design
its not like i'm doing it already

[felicitousArtisan]

I've thrown together the alleyway because we need backgrounds so we can get going with this. If anybody wants to do a better one, feel free.

We can at least use them as placeholders. I'm afraid environment art isn't my speciality.

[Vyro P. Dragon III]

Thanks a lot for making those!

[Alphadin]

Keep it in the pad @Fel, backgrounds of a crime scene could give things away.
Side note, All art has to be 256x192.
For transparency use hex color FF00FF (Aka bright magenta)

[tanoshiibento]

@Flaire-Dragon: I thought that myself, but upon close constant inspection they are different.
My Aradias? Good? Omg awesome. XD
I am sprite illiterate with NO experience, but I am so glad I'm pleasing.
i actually would feel really awesome if they were up for any consideration.

@vento: I was going for a flat stiff look, actually. C:
I based it off of the other Aradia sprite in consideration.
Oh! I should, shoulnt I? Thank you for that! I'll do it as soon as I get some time. I don't think any of the sprites really have a chest in the games, but you can stop me if I'm wrong. Again I'm novice and clueless.
Funbento. Haven't heard that in a while. Haha
Of course! I said that it can be up for changes as long as it doesn't loose general idea. Like, if it looks nothing like the original, then they'll be some problems. But I'm up for changes.

Btw, if anyone has any friendly tips on spriting so I can play with them, that would be cool if you could PM them to me. C:

While I am not useful in the slightest, This video is.

If you're still looking for voice actors, there's a few people on Youtube who do decent voices for Terezi, etc. I don't know if they'll be able to help out with anything, but it's worth a shot if nobody steps up.

Are we looking for voice actors? It shouldn't really be too hard, I mean if worst comes to the worst, I'm a member of the Homestuck CoLab (Let's Read Homestuck) team so I'm on daily chatting terms with a bunch of VAs. I voice Kanaya myself. I know a bunch more on the forums too. But if we just said we were looking for them, we could probably get a bunch of auditions easily. In the AA series the only voice clips are 'hold it!' 'objection!' and 'take that!' by Phoenix, some of the opponents, like Franziska only have 'objection!' We could go one up and have a 'hold it!' recorded for every character who shouts it; not just those who are lawyers, but even then we'd so far only need lines for Terezi, Vriska, Karkat and Kanaya on case 2. I'd be more than happy to supply a line for Kanaya if people were happy with my voice in the role.
Right now, I'd say voices are fairly low priority.

[Flare-Dragon]

Yes. Voices aren't on the top of the list, BUT it wouldn't hurt to get some voices. If we absolutely need voices, but can't get any, it would be nice if you could supply, Artisan, but otherwise we can just stick to the female voices used in the Ace Attorney series (I'm sure there's at the absolute least a female "Objective!")

GUYS

I FEEL SO SHITTY

Okay, let me explain what happened to me. Basically, I ran into a metric fuckton of work at school, and had to drop out for a while. The work ran on longer than expected, and I ended up being away from the project for quite a while. Then I felt guilty about "abandoning" the project, so I pretty much ditched it entirely (which was, in retrospect, pretty much the exact opposite of what I should have done). After a lot of procrastination, I finally decided to do the mature thing and admit to my mistake.

So I'm Back.

I've caught up on the threads, and I have to say, I really like what I've seen so far. Just tell me what I can be doing, and I will get up on it. Again, I fucked up, and I'm really ashamed of how I acted, but I'm back and ready to get to work on it again!

OH MY GOD ROUNDY :D
If it's fine with you, we can collaborate on the code for part duex.

[Roundy210]

Yep, I can totes help with that!
Right now I'm trying to catch up with the dev pad. Real great stuff you've got going here.

Considering you're the old boss, how are you finding the script so far?

[Roundy210]

Considering you're the old boss, how are you finding the script so far?

I have not really had enough time to check it out yet.

WOULD YOU BELIEVE THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO PROCESS A LARGE AMOUNT OF INFORMATION AT ONE TIME?????

Don't worry, I'm getting to it.

[Roundy210]

All right, ready to go!

[Sequence]

I've been following this since pretty much the start, and so if anyone wants/needs someone to go through all the threads and grab all the resources that have been produced, I'm willing and able to consolidate them.

EDIT: Ahem, uh, yeah, dunno if this has been done before but might as well put it in the new thread?

Systemic_Hysteria also did a logo/title thing.
mamkut made a swishy-eye-contact thing for Karkat.

Zosephine posted this, just called it a thing.
Groundah posted this, a savior of the waking world blend with examination, as Alphadin called it.
Music by Well Manicured Man here.
Straylight made a start on an Announce The Truth.
More music by Well Manicured Man here.

Also for those doing the scripting, Insani posted a link to a Troll Converter, but it looks like that project might be down? And Aduross linked this thread which contains the walkaround sprites.

I'll go back through and grab plot resources and voice resources if anyone asks for that.

[Roundy210]

Speaking of music, what is the current deal with music anyhow? Do we even have music people anymore?

[Vyro P. Dragon III]

We pretty much have no music people. Which is a shame, because we're gonna need a lot of stuff, like an Investigation Theme, an Aradia Theme, A Kanaya Theme, not to mention a ton more once we get to Case 3.

[Roundy210]

Alright, updated WellManicuredMan's music list with the music that we already have noted. I know a guy who's pretty good with music, I'll see if he can help with things.

edit: also, what's the current situation on debugging the first case?

[Flare-Dragon]

@Sequence
That is AWESOME! Not sure about if we had it, but having a full resource list will definitely be beneficial to us all. Thank you
@People who are worried about music
We will need to get someone on that, won't we? If we can't use what we have, then that guy you (Roundy) mentioned will be helpful
@Roundy
As far as debugging goes, I conveniently didn't think of that. If you're up for it (and if Case 2 is not needing you), you could go round up the coding crew and get that worked on (make sure you mention I'm the one that requested this)
