Development news: Editor progress and player preview

Development news
Editor progress and player preview (April Fool!)
Hi everyone,

As you know, I've been working on AAOv6 for quite a long while now. I think it's high time I posted an update about my progress.

First, let's talk about the editor.
In the editor, I've got the layout for frames, evidence and profiles mostly done. All of this has been reorganised in order to be clearer, and at the same time give faster access to all fields.
For example, you should have a look at the profile tab : see that screenshot and tell me what you think about it.
Also, I haven't completed yet the translation file for the editor, so don't worry about the raw strings on the screenshot; it'll obviously be fixed when released.
However, the editor is far from finished, though it's starting to look quite good.

What is closer to a finish, however, is the V6 player.
Well, it isn't perfect yet, but it already implements some of the features I wanted to include in it.
These features are obviously inaccessible from the V5 editor, but Meph and I have been working on a test trial to show off some of them.
Features include :
  • Meph's awesome new style, as in the mockups
  • Video playback, including youtube support
  • Faster loading times, and little to no lag when playing
  • Smoother animations
and so on.

You can find the preview here. Enjoy, and please give feedback !

EDIT : The link was changed; the page can now be found on http://aceattorney.sparklin.org/april2011.html for nostalgic people :awesome:

Spoiler : Spoilers~ :
Argh, you know, it never occurred to me at all that this could be an April Fools joke. I can't believe I forgot that you pulled something similar last year. If I remember, didn't you change the main page? :P

On another note, I actually do like the layout. The borders of the player itself look pretty damn smooth. It looks very clean. Now, I don't mind Friday itself, but the fact that you put in a YouTube video makes me wonder if YouTube support IS planned in version 6 or not... :cute:

EDIT: Oh, wait, it's an iframe...
Still... :P

Yay! I'm glad you liked the trial, everyone! :)

I thought the story was rubbish (it was only a preview, after all), but I'm glad you liked it, Tap. :)

Ha ha ha ha! We tricked you all! :P

Lol. Yes. None of the actual code used in the real AAO 6 was used in the "preview", so it won't support YouTube videos any time soon. :P

This is the truth: everything that Unas mentioned in the paragraph about the Trial Editor is true; that screenshot is real. Everything about the Player was all lies! :P He hasn't even started working on it yet (well... not the front-end code, at least)! However, the Player will most likely look like that.
By the way, would everyone like us to post previews more often?

What a spoilerish topic here !
It's true that the story of this preview trial is mostly built on suspense and surprise, so it'd be bad to spoil people...
But still, if seems weird having all these spoiler tags everywhere ^^

Anyway, you're also welcome to give any comment you might have on the editor screenshot while I'm working on it ;-)

OMG That was great! :D
The interface is excellent, and the way the music and the characters can fade out it's just... Woah.
Also, I loved how you corrected the bliping sound =D
I also LOVE

the fact that I didn't fall for this AF joke :calisto:
When I noticed the loading took more than 10 seconds, I said: "Ok, it's an April's Fools" xD
Anyway, great AF ;)
