Quick Update!
Added 2024-09-13 19:27:57 +0000 UTCHi all! I first want to apologize for the lack of updates the past week, as I was mainly tackling a series of bugs that have reared their ugly head over the last week.
I'm glad to say that these have all been resolved and I will be looking to complete a few miscellaneous scenes that are currently in progress, which I halted to deal with the annoying bugs mentioned previously.
While I have no concrete date set, do expect an update in about 2-4 days from now!
I will be working on these last few areas for the remainder of the week; thus, there will be no formal dev log or previews for just this week.
The custom renders for August will also follow several days after the test release, so do look forward to them!
As a preview of the new mechanics incoming for the test release, Episode 3 marks the release of the new Interrogation/Questioning mechanic, which aims to bridge the gap between the mystery aspect of Cara in Creekmaw together with its overarching story, all while allowing you, the player, to be fully in-charge of unraveling the mysteries peppered along from the beginning up till now!
And yes, when I said I loved Ace Attorney while growing up, I believe this is what I meant. To introduce this new mechanic and to perfect the way it is presented (and also squashing a buttload of bugs in the process) was something cathartic and satisfying to do, in terms of its conceptualization and its eventual execution in-game, and I feel it is a love letter to the game series that I hold near-and-dear to my heart as I grew up.
I can't wait to have everyone experience it once the test release drops! I'll be back very soon with more updates, so stay tuned!
