Turnabout Story - an Episodic Series

(video may still be processing)

The video should explain all. I have many ideas, but I need to come with a solid storyline first

Comments?

--

I have literally NO patience for making music, as mentioned, and, as you can probably tell my the facepic used, I suck at making them too.

Of course, in the Cave story spirit, there will be fighting and platforming (monsters stealing evidence, etc)

--

And, since only so many facepics are possible, I'll be making the game episodically, with one case per EXE. There will most likely be a VERY large gap between cases, but still.

So yeah:
tl;dr =
Making Phoenix Wright mod. Need spriters, facepic, and music makers. HELP!

OBJECTION!!!!!!

 

Re: OBJECTION! Story

Ace Attorney game in the Cave Story engine sounds grossly inappropriate. But it might be great, if you do it well. As for comments, well, I think it would be better to stick to the original's naming theme, and call the game something like "Turnabout Story", doubly so if you intend to write multiple cases.

I wasn't really sure about the name. All I could think of was Phoenix Wright's Story or OBJECTION! Story, but Turnabout Story is possible too.

OBJECTION! Story: Case 1 (insert case name here)
OBJECTION! Story: Turnabout OBJECTION!
OBJECTION! Story: Phoenix Wright's Turnabout?

Turnabout Story
Turnabout Story 2: Turnabout OBJECTION!
Turnabout Story 3: Phoenix Wright's Turnabout

Hm....

Want me to PM you what I am thinking of so far? I don't really want to post it to everyone...

It'll be sorta like the games, with 2 segments. A Trial segment, and an evidence segment. The only difference is that the evidence segment is a little less puzzle solving (go here, do that, then go here, and do this with the item you got back there) and more action, because for a CS mod, reading text is only half the fun.

I...
Don't know what to say...
All I can do is wish you luck. ._.
And provide occasional TSC halp.

Is that meant in a good way or a bad way? I can work on it without sprites, but I don't want to release it like that. Working in the storyline currently. I have other obligations as well -_-

oh, an TSC help is VERY appreciated

Can I just say that I have objections? D;
But yeah.
TSC will be my middle name when the form goes through.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you think Phoenix Wright + Platforming = NO

That's what I thought at first, and I don't think it (or anything else, for that matter) can live up to the epicness of the original games.

All I can say is that it will be very text heavy, but with some Cave Story characters strewn throughout. I can confirm Misery is there, because there needs to be SOME reason Phoenix is on the island. The first case, tentatively named Turnabout Undertaking explains that, and introduces the reason why this once ruleless island now goes by rules of law. The first one will definitly be a hit or miss.

If that's not your objection, then I'm you must HOLD IT! And tell me what problems you foresee/have.

 

This strikes me as being madness on the scale of our beloved Ryuuoutan, however...
"Though this be madness, yet there be method in't."

I wish you the best of luck.

Shoot me, but what's Ryuuoutan?

Liked the saying though.

I foresee myself working on this storyline for the next few hours.

Bonus: anyone who gives me a good Phoenix Wright MyChar.pbm or music gets beta testing priviliges. I need cross examination music (preferably from PW: Ace Attorney) for starters. Also, any epic boss theme is good.

Onto fulfil other necessary obligations first.

 

Re: OBJECTION! Story

I couldn't have said it better myself; Ryuuoutan is a former member here that seemed to do everything in their power to contribute as little as possible in as many posts as possible, many of which were nonsensical rants and accusations about being insulted by people who were not even talking to or about Ryuu. You should know that I meant your madness is proportional in scope, not caliber. This is a very different type of madness which I do not have the acuity to define.

 

Re: OBJECTION! Story

To better explain, Ryu was this: Immature, easily offended, spouted random gibberish, highly unproductive, quite useless, and annoying as hell.

Seriously, talking to it would give you a migraine. And yes, I call Ryu "it", for I never truly figured out what Ryu was.

Edityness: Looking forward to this. Never saw it before, so I'm rather curious as to how you'll attempt this.

The past tense implies that he was either banned or left the forums. Or just stop posting.

I'll admit this is a pretty big task, but in the actuality,if executed correctly, doesn't require more than sprite, music, TSC, and map editing. No assembly here. Anyway, unlike the Hell Mod contest, this doesn't have a deadline.

EDIT: ALREADY 2 PAGES??

 

Re: OBJECTION! Story

Roflmao
Here's hoping this doesn't fall through.

Yes. Cheers to that.

 

Re: OBJECTION! Story

Well, to me, this doesn't seem like that great of an idea.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I only ask that if you dislike it you refrain from hating upon it, or at least look at where it goes.

We'll see.

 

Re: OBJECTION! Story

Well, I'm just saying that this might not be the best way to make a fan game.

Fan game to Phoenix wright? Or Cave Story? I think it'll be interesting.



Anyways, is there anybody who will want to read over my storyline for the 1st "case"? It's nice to get other peoples input.

My objections lay in the roots of something stupid.

I rest me case.

It's okay. I'm curious as to what these objections are. No tiny detail can be overlooked in a court of law!


If you're that curious, wanna take up the offer and proofread the story? (when I'm done of course)

 

Re: OBJECTION! Story

Eh, I'll help with TSC as I said.

My beef is that this is a catagory T mod: Transposition of a game onto an engine not designed for it (Catagory S is anything by Ryu, catagory U is pre/sequels to Cave Story).
Generally I've found that such an undertaking lacks the prestige of either source game, and is usually vaguely amusing at best and unplayable at worst.
I'm not saying don't do it, but you will face harsher critisism from me.
If you pull this off, though, I will be very impressed.
