Apollo Justice Ace Attorney: Passion & Suffering [Development Thread]

Archive: 10 posts


"In the near future, the government has issued the current trial system, the Jurist System, to fight an increasing number of violent and enigmatic crimes. A process where judgement is passed by the people after a battle of wits between lawyer and prosecutor in in a frame of three days."

Apollo Justice Ace Attorney: Passion & Suffering

Apollo Justice Ace Attorney: Passion & Suffering is a fanfiction game based on Capcom's Ace Attorney series. We began creating this after we were overcome by the satisfaction of OBJECTION!s and compelling, realistic storylines of Ace Attorney, and therefore try our hand at our own Ace Attorney-style story.

http://i8.lbp.me/img/fl/288df50a155e2aaa92a85f81d36725b6e9aed98b.png

In the Year 2026, the government reintroduced the concept of Juries in court, after many years of corruption in the courts. Apollo Justice, a novice defense attorney, continues to defend clients after several complex trials under his mentor, Phoenix Wright. But then, he took that case that would steer his world into a story of great tragedy... one that would become the court's darkest trials yet.

The game will be divided into 5 episodes:

Episode 1: Turnabout Excavation, Due Early 2012

The game revolves around defending your clients in court against rigorous prosecutors and proving them innocent! There are two main modes of gameplay: Investigation Mode, and Court Battles .

Investigation Mode

Before you storm into court, you should investigate the crime scene and gather evidence to use as ammunition in court. Check every single nook and cranny; every piece of evidence counts. You should also interrogate every witness and get all the information you need.

Psyche-Locks: Locks on the Heart (Phoenix)

http://i2.lbp.me/img/fl/aa2e115a52c1a9e46814c746bc71089a323a339d.png

Witnesses often hold secrets that are relevant to your case. However, they will not give in easily; this is when Psyche-Locks appear, to hide the dark truths. Using your magatama, a spiritual relic that allows you to see these locks, present evidence showing that they have nothing to hide!

Court Battles

http://i9.lbp.me/img/fl/c199c6e385812b94bc3b23e4c589abd309fabc74.png

This is where all your efforts pay off: the Courts! Here, you'll engage in a battle of logic against various state-appointed prosecutors to prove to the jury that your client is innocent!

Cross-Examinations

http://ib.lbp.me/img/fl/c1b1cf653998070439d0d3f7abb1e92c95c47abd.png

The prosecution will often call up a detective or witness involved with the case to testify against your client. Through Cross-Examinations, you can look into their statements by pressing them on further, fleshing out all the information you can get. Then, if there is a contradiction with the testimony and the facts, present the evidence to disprove it! Think before you do this; wrong evidence will penalize you, and too many penalties will get your client guilty for sure!

Perceive: Surging Eyes (Apollo)

http://i6.lbp.me/img/fl/9f6d25cc4d8516a7c2b846bd6a569d5f16d06c50.png

Witnesses don't just hide secrets; they also lie in court. That's where your special power comes in: you can perceive witness' nervous habits and break their lies; set off the igniter in their hearts!

No Help Needed

I really hope you all enjoy this thing we're making when it comes out. It certainly is a unique concept in the LBP community; sure there are investigations, but this'll probably the community's introduction to Court Battles!

Also: the Aurora series will be on hiatus during development; we love em, but somehow we love this more (on a personal stand point, it has a lot of creative effects, such as typewriter style text.) Be sure to give this a play when it comes out in early 2012. And good luck; this game will require TONS of logical thinking and patience to get through!

Be sure to check out the original Ace Attorney series; it rocks! Plus, they'll give you practice for this


Happy Holidays!

From the dark earth, the truth will be uncovered...

It's been months since the new judicial system took over. Apollo Justice, a rookie attorney who suceeded the legendary Phoenix Wright, went into hiatus, until the modern "gold rush" occurs, where an unfortunate miner gets killed. A simple case turns complex as the court is flipped upside-down in chaos and mystery shrouds the incident. Will Justice be able to persevere and dig to the truth?

I've only played the first Phoenix Wright game on the DS but I loved it! I did watch a let's play of the second game too. Will probably pick up Apollo Justice if I find it in a shop.
Judging by the screenshots you have done a great job recreating the courtroom and costumes. Teaser is queued for when I take a break from Uncharted 3.
I'm hoping to hear some voices shouting 'OBJECTION!' from the sackbots.
Good Luck!

Just as a little bonus: I would like to tell all fans that there will be MANY characters in this game that were absent from aj:aa.

Unfortunatly we are in the midst of redoing a good majority of the text to make it more like a pheonix wright game. It will take some time because we need to add parts of text in between many parts we had "done", which is just a HUGE pain considering how we are doing text.

But hey! at least we have a good amount of effects done. and YES there will be minor voice work (OBJECTION!, TAKE THAT!, etc.) but since we CAN'T get ripped voices from the games, we are using our own voice work. So far we only have Apollo done (whom is voiced by fang)

We really hope you guys like it. It would be further along but I became VERY ill just before christmas and it still persists I've been holding off until I could feel better.

When case 1 is almost done we will create a full on trailer like that of the previous ace attorney games.

It will be "episodic" and the first episode (Turnabout Excavation) will hopefully be released in late Feburary/ early march.

School and other stuff comes first and we are trying not to ruch this.

In other words we are being VERY "Von Karma" about this!

We are done up to the first testimony.

Just thought I would update:

- We have "finished" (By that I mean minor tweeks will happen) the intro
- The actual gameplay will be 2-3 sublevels long (we are unsure right now.)
- Sub.lv.1 is at 85-90% full and we are only at the first testimony
- Case 2 is being started (pre-production)

If you have any questions regarding gameplay, story, production, etc, ask here, or my blog. I will answer to the best of my ability w/o spoilers!
