First off, welcome back to the world of casemaking. I played through the trailer, and I'm interested in the first case.

However, I did notice some writing problems:
Spoiler : Notes :
  • The topics of discussion meander from "where's Apollo," to "why isn't Trucy feeling well," to "where's Apollo" again, to "Trucy's sleep schedule and overreactions about it," to "where's Athena," to "infamy of the WAA," to "introducing Angie, who overreacts to Trucy and Ali," back to "where's Apollo - let's call him," then to "where's Athena," before recursing to "where's Apollo - maybe he found some SUPER IMPORTANT EVIDENCE" and then finally to "Trucy enters the courtroom." You change topics so much, and to things that aren't really relevant to each other, so the dialogue becomes choppy. Contrast this with the courtroom scenes in any canon game, especially the first case.
  • It isn't immediately clear how some frames connect with each other, for example going from "haven't seen Apollo" directly into "homework is tiring." I had to look at it for a minute before realizing that Trucy's workload was why she hadn't gone out of her way to see Apollo lately.
  • The characters, especially Athena (even by Athena standards) seem to under-react based on how bad the Apollo situation likely is (he could have been attacked, or otherwise in trouble), but overreact based on how bad they think the Apollo situation is (OH NO HIS PHONE IS OFF). Their emotions don't feel genuine.
Good luck with the project.

Reason: Removing an incorrect apostrophe.

Thank you. The previous preview was criticised for ruining Trucy's character. drvonkitty helped and I thank him for that.

I do agree that this still has a couple of issues that you addressed and I will fix them in the next release. I'm trying to get the first trial section done right. It virtually made no sense so I'm keeping it simple since it's a first case.

The order of the game so far is Case 2 and then Case 1 followed by 3 4 and 5 in that order.

Also done some dialogue clean up to address a couple of issues brought up.

There is meant to be three frames in that animation.

Wait, is there really? Because at the very least, there's four frames in the aa1-3 gallery animation.

To not bog the thread down on this, although I haven't played the preview, I'm looking forward to the release of this. I'm sure it'll be quality!

Thanks.

I checked the gif file on photoshop and it uses three frames of animation.
