& enigma (I guess...)
Because this is an Ace Attorney Site in name only!
***
In any case, in these changing times, Ace Attorney Fangames aren't the only things you can produce... So why not have a competition about creating anything and everything else?
Task:
Create something that isn’t an Ace Attorney case. Whatever you create, it's fine as long as it's clearly NOT an Ace Attorney case. You can distinguish your creation from normal AA cases by:
• Being an AA Investigation case! I don't know how you'd make people walk but... Hey, it's a challenge!
• Having no criminal, but making a civil case. Ace Arbitrator? Ace Divorce Lawyer?
• Making something that plays like an AA case, but has an entirely different premise. Like Socrates Jones.
• Entirely different universe (stress on “entirely different”, not just regular AU with canon characters being slightly different). I mean, creating a universe isn't hard, is it?
• Significantly different court rules. Maybe a world which follows actual REAL law for once?
• Having the playable character be somebody else than a defense attorney. So, say, the witness or the killer or the prosecutor or the judge or Charley...
• Different gameplay mechanics. Like, say, Pong. Make pong. Pong is a good game. I mean, it'd still need a story... But Pong.
• Having no mystery at all. You know, like one of those dating sims....
• Creating something based on a different game. Like Katamari Damacy. stop, enigma
• Creating something in a different game genre. Like Katamari Damacy. I've said stop, enigma
• Creating something completely new and original. Like Katamari Da- Okay, fine. Just make something we've never seen before.
Simply having an OC be the protagonist is no good! You need to make this clearly, and inarguably, distinct from the Ace Attorney franchise. (Well, at least the main games/series.)
The purpose of this comp is encouraging your creativity, so be as creative as possible! We know that among you are many creators that are more talented or skilled than us (for now). And we know that you all can go far beyond the boundaries and limits of Ace Attorney. Yes, we all love this series... Except Dual Destinies Well, I didn't play it yet - 2002. But, the rest of the games were pretty great. Still, why limit yourself? Why not create something that has never been seen before? A 100% unique idea, even? The tools are at your disposal.
And who knows, maybe you'll create something you can one day remake and sell? Maybe you might create the gaming worlds next big hit?! And it'll all start here. On humble little AAO.
The entries will be judged in following categories, listed by their importance:
• Creativity: How much you distinguish your entry from an AA case, how many own ideas you have, and how good they are.
• Story: How good is your story? Is it well paced? Interesting? Engaging?
• Presentation of ideas: Different from regular presentation. You can have the most brilliant idea for own setting, but if isn't significant beyond couple of frames, it isn't significant at all. And if you are creating your own gameplay, you have to properly introduce it to the player.
• Presentation: Regular presentation, which means everything regarding graphics, story presentation, proper writing, lack of bugs…
General advice is to focus more on making an unique than long entry, especially if you want to create new gameplay. You are not required to submit a complete entry, all that matters are all the ideas you already have.
Conditions:
• The entry must be created between September 16th and December 16th
• The entry must not be showcased until after the judges confirm they have played the entry in question
• The entry must be distinguish from Ace Attorney cases in a significant way
• The entry may spoil any Ace Attorney game released in English at the time of this writing
• The entry may be a comedy/miscellaneous case
• Complete entries are not required
• The entry must be sent to both Gamer2002 and enigma
• The entry must be sent altogether with a walkthrough. The minimum walkthrough has to give a solution to everything that may severely impede players progress.
Deadline
All entries must be declared and submitted to Gamer and enigma by December 16th, 2015 at 11:59 PM CET
