If you're not in the throes of competition deadlines, I'd like you to look into a bug for me:

Can I ask how frequently you're editing the game and what kinds of edits these are? I just tried to reload a save from a few days ago, and I got a warning that you had edited recently, which may result in inconsistencies depending on how severe the edits are.

Mainly just typographical edits, a few added frames of dialogue, stuff like that. I don't believe I've made any structural changes. You shouldn't run into any major errors, but let me know if there's any issues & I'll fix ASAP.

Okay, finished going through the redone case! I have a couple developer-side fires to put out, so it'll be a few days yet before I'll have the review typed up.

QA Review: A Turnabout Called Justice
...Yeah, I take full responsibility for this QA taking as long as it has.
This QA is a blast from the past for me. Bright Age of the Law dates back to 2014, and the way I remember it, I was offering advice to drvonkitty on the art of case making long before that. It's 2021, and the case is finally done. One of the co-authors, mercurialSK, departed from the project before some of the graphics could be finished, but it's too late for that now....Yeah, I take full responsibility for this QA taking as long as it has.
So, will this bit of history culminate in a QA, or does the age need a little more brightening? Well, you can guess, but at least pretend it's a surprise, okay?
_____________________________________________________
The format on Check #1 is similar to in my previous reviews, though I've tweaked the categories some.✮ – The Sparkling Feature Star is given for an aspect that makes your trial stand out even among the featured trials. Getting a Sparkling Feature Star means your trial is pretty much guaranteed to be featured after implementing the changes from check 2, unless it gets a Hollow Star.
+ – The Great Plus means that this aspect makes your good trial great. You don't need a Great Plus in every category, but you should have at least one Great Plus or Sparkling Feature Star for the trial to be featured.
✓✓ – The Double Check Mark means that this aspect is good enough for a featured trial. Almost everything in this area works solidly, but it lacks a "wow" factor. An otherwise great aspect that requires some non-trivial tweaking falls in here.
✓ – The Single Check Mark means that this aspect can be good enough for a featured trial, but requires not major, but non-trivial modifications to make it truly solid. You must not have any Single Check Marks in order to pass Check 2.
✰ – The Hollow Star marks a problem that can't be fixed without a major rewrite. A trial must not have any Hollow Stars in order to pass Check 1. If you get one, don't be discouraged! Remember that a Hollow Star is only a star that hasn't been filled yet. It's something you can work on when improving this trial or writing your next one, and once you've worked on it, go for another QA review!
Unlike the other marks, the Hollow Star and Single Check Mark only talk about how large of a rewrite is needed to be featured-trial good, not how good that part of the trial is.

Everything's done, just a few clarifying remarks left:
And, that's everything!

If you couldn't guess, my AAO time over the last couple of days has been devoted to finishing a different QA review, so back to this one.

Thank you!
Now... anyone out there played the case? I'm desperate for feedback, even if it's just to say you played it!

I started the case and I found it to be very intriguing! The writing is great and I'm invested in the mystery just from the beginning. My only issue is that... I'm stuck.drvonkitty wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 1:54 pm Thank you!

Re: [T][CE] A Turnabout Called Justice ★
I forgot to put my thoughts when I first played this through, whoops.. but to tl;dr, I really enjoyed this case! Mostly the characterization and story, the actual mystery didn't appeal to me too much besides the high stakes, but I really enjoyed the banter and growth of the main cast. It feels like each character was picked for a reason, and they worked really well together. Franziska in particular felt like a really well-fitting choice, considering her connection to Phoenix.drvonkitty wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 1:54 pm Now... anyone out there played the case?

I also really loved the presentation. Custom backgrounds and evidence is always neat, and the ending cutscene made me feel happy. I lowkey wish they did this with Apollo's character instead of giving him another two backstories in the 3DS games.
