A few suggestions regarding the animations.

Yes, just one frame so that the character doesn't move

Okay. Some idle poses should be animated still, like when Phoenix is thinking in court, he still moves his index finger on his chin.

I've been thinking, and I know it's something that might take awhile, but I'd like to bring up one thing that would really help:


Flags. You know, like true/false variables? I suppose allowing standard numeric variables would work just as well, but ultimately I just want some way of keeping track of where in a case a player is, because I actually plan on trying to make the investigation portion of the trial, and being able to keep track of such things would make it much closer to the original free-form style.

I wouldn't put it too high on your priority list, I've already come up with ways to get around the lack, primarily using evidence as a stand in for a flag, but that ultimately makes it much more linear at the same time, or lets players know what's important and what's not.

There is a way to handle this type of things : by hiding/revealing texts.
The idea is that when a text is hidden, its action won't be run. Therefore by hiding/revealing texts (using the corresponding actions) you can do almost everything. It's not very intuitive though...
I'll think about your idea. I already have an idea to make it quite simple so we'll see

It's not my first priority though

Do you think you can add this sound effect as well Unas? Here's the link:
