Something Different: A Horrible Trial
Spoilers for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
This is something that I made up on the spot when I was a beginner trying out the editor . I'm actually making the concept into a real case, but that's for later I guess.
If you wanna see it here it is.
I gave it a [C] because it looks terrible while trying to take itself seriously. I hope you guys enjoy.

Looks nice, Althogh there are a few things that need to be improved I do believe they will all be taken care of once ((And if)) You make this into a idea for a case.

Re: [T][C]Something Different
Hi there! Just wanted to drop by to give you a little bit of feedback/advice about this case.
First, I'd recommend you check out two things - the first being "AAO's Truly Comprehensive Guide for New Authors,", which is an incredibly helpful tutorial to help new trial authors get started and release their first, full-fledged new case. The second is my own "Getting Started with AAO V6,", which will help you get a better grasp of the editor, which you have a couple problem areas with right now.
I played through your case, and while it's not bad, it's definitely what I would expect from someone new to trial-making. Don't take that in a negative way, though! Trust me, my very first publicly released case was called "Turnabout Coffee," and it was terrible. Getting skilled with fancases takes time and practice, and from what you said in your post, the idea of "Something Different" is to be practice. But there's a couple problems with that:
Now, onto some criticisms of "Something Different," with everything I've said in mind:
Those are just a few things I noted while playing through your case. While I know that you don't intend this to be a "proper" fancase, I want you to think about a couple of the things I've mentioned, and read through those guides. You have a compelling idea here (a role reversal between Mia and Maya, time travel, etc.), but "Something Different" doesn't do that idea justice. With some practice and effort though, I believe you definitely have potential!
Best of luck!

- 1. Making a case solely for practice is a great idea! When I was getting started with AAO, I made practice cases, too. But practice cases are just that: practice. They're not meant for people to play through and see - they're meant to help you get a better grasp of the editor. You may be the only person who ever sees that case, and that's okay.
- 2. Releasing a "practice case." or indeed, any case which the author states in their post is sub-par, is just not a good idea. Practice cases, unfinished cases, and "I was just playing around" cases don't serve to do anything but to give people a negative impression of your work. They'll be less willing to view you as a serious trial author.

Re: [T][C]Something Different
Yeah, I seem to have been misunderstood due to my horrible grammar. I'm experienced with the editor and more experienced in trial writing than I was once when I made that case. I was just sharing that case because I thought it'd be funny.
But yes you're right, maybe releasing cases like that would give a negative impression. I'll think about everything you've said in the future because this comment is indeed helpful, and gives me hope. Thanks drvonkitty.
