Re: Turnabout of the Century
For the record, most of the technical stuff you've referred to has been fixed. There are also now custom (and fully-timed) images in the intro.
The sci-fi aspects will start getting played up a whole lot more in the 2nd investigation, and I was planning to get to there a lot quicker, but... well, yeah. The main thing I was running with for the case theme was the use of descendants. And some family history does come into it later. But yeah. Really should have gotten more done.

Seems there are a lot of people who are stumped and have no
clue... you figured it out pretty quickly Though I will admit it should be fairly obvious at one point who the killer is in part 3 if your paying attention to what's been said.

So, I decided that I should probably respond to Dypo's comments/review of my trial... and I'll do so now. In purple, naturally.

Re: Turnabout of the Century
Because I've become increasingly lazy and busy (yes you can be both at the same time) I'm not going to edit my last post with the comments. Instead, I'm going to write them here. For half of the reviews I will just compare my thoughts to Dypo's, and for the others I will write my own reviews.
Also, I'm not posting my commentary because there's barely anything in them and it doesn't have any of my opinions in them, just stupid little jokes that aren't funny. K, leech time goooooo.

For the record, the idea was that he was attempting to hide the two pieces in two separate locations, possibly because they wouldn't all fit in one. Didn't quite think to fully explain that one. I'll make sure it comes up in court.

Re: Turnabout of the Century
Yay now I know why I got 2nd place : D time to reply.
So, the prologue. Yeah, I remember this confused the hell of Dypo. I have no idea why though. xD Personally, I found the prologue to be a bit generic. Though it was nice that it foreshadowed a future event, as a prologue itself it just fell flat.
Well I can't argue with that. If I could make some a few images to go with the background I could make it a bit more interesting. But whatev. Also Dypo, care to explain why you got confused
Characterization. I really liked the characters, and they all a lot of fun. Jakub constantly struggling to try and be a gentlemen, Fran pulling the child genius card, the always ditzy detective, the prosecutor oozing dangerous amounts of swag, the family of ventriloquists, the list goes on and on. I don’t think I have any characters I don’t like. Maybe some were decent at best, but I didn’t dislike any.
I've been getting so many mixed views on the characters XD but at least it seems that you enjoyed all of them. For most people they enjoyed few, and hated others. But I suppose it all depends on personality.
The music was very nice. It’s been a while and I don’t exactly remember most of it…but from what I remember it fit pretty well. SO YEAH, uh, that’s it…that’s part three—
I could link you to the soundtracks if you want.
PART 4. THE DIALOUGE. Holy crap this dialogue. This dialogue is…well, here is someone who can say it better than me. Based on the amount of time you were given, and based on how much you were able to get done, it should NOT have been a issue to have this many mistakes on a trial. So yes, the dialogue bugged me. Even if the lines were sometimes funny.
*Hides in closet* The amount of time I was given wasn't even enough to finish the trial XD and I'm good at making frames not looking back necessarily and noticing errors... which is something I really shouldn't be so proud about but... yeah. But at least I've got Wolfy fixing my grammar on the Investigation and stuff.
Oh also, you spelled DIALOUGE wrong. It's DIALOGUE
Now for the plot. I gotta say, you presented us with a very nice mystery. But, you HAD to resort to using…the locked door gimmick. It’s bad enough when it’s just on one side, but TWO SIDES?! My mind just becomes full of wut. What we get as a result is a mess of insane theories and pointless routes that lead us straight to a dead end. OK, so maybe that’s the POINT of a mystery, and maybe I’m just being an idiot. But I’m just saying that sometimes all the information can come collapsing down into a big mess at a few points. Also, I didn’t find this to be a flaw of the trial, but something that I found kinda odd: Why did you prioritize the bad ending over the good ending? I’d understand if it was short little path, but it was very long. If anything you should’ve focused on the actual, canonical ending before going to the fake one. But like I said, it’s nothing I hated. It just struck me as odd.
Well I wouldn't say that the locked doors was the major part of the mystery. Perhaps a good 1/3 of it. The other 1/3' being the voices and teleporter issue. As for the double sided locked door thingy I totally just based that off real life experience. I live in a room with two locks, exactly like the ones in the game. I wondered how that would affect the mystery and it kind of worked its way from there. I'm sorry if you don't like it. But I'm going to stick with my gut and think that it's a nice touch to the mystery. As for the collapsing of your points, well yeah I kind of wanted you to fell like you had no idea what to do really. I don't know if that's how all mystery novels work that way but meh, I thought it was a good idea.
And I prioritized the bad ending over the good one simply because it was the only ending I finished XD. I wanted to at least give you a legitimate end in stead of one that was halfway done and not even close to being finished and all. I wonder if I finshed the good one first if that would have changed anything.
Anyway, theme conveyance. This was actually handled very well. Nice work sending much farther into the future. It added a new and interesting environment that added new twists not found in most AA cases, which is what I really was looking for. It felt futuristic and all the future stuff worked great. But still…going UP a teleporter?! I mean seriously…A BAT CREDIT CARD?!?!?!
Theme relevance A+YES!
So yeah. A great trial, but just too many big mistakes that are hard to overlook.
Well at least it's good in your eyes. And a lot of others. Some would say I've improved from before(and I know they're lying >_>) but even so I have Wolfy to help me with all that <3
