He hotlinked it, so the server for court-records went bezonkers for a bit. You should probably upload it to another website then post that link. ;)

I would recommend you to re-do the walls, since the quality looks a bit messed up. Did you set the room then resized it? That lowers the quality of your walls, be careful with that ;) You should also watch for the corners of the icons, since they stand out from the background they are in (K) or interfere with surrounding objects (V) :) But it's still good for a start!

Also make sure your room is connected to other rooms, it looks like it's in the middle of the street or something xD

Terribly sorry for reviving this article, but how would I go about making it so that the victim, killer, and witness move like in the games? Would I make a .gif, or what?

Yup, a simple gif should do the job.

However, unless I'm mistaken, the witness markers never actually move in the games, they just sorta jump around from point A to point B. To do this, you wouldn't even need a gif. Simply switching between two different images with altered marker positions would be easier and would achieve the same effect.

AquaAce, I know for certain they move in Dual Destinies, and I kind of remember them moving in Trials and Tribulations.
