Ren'Py Maya's Mission [v0.1] [Pinkmochidango]

[TyrannosaurusPrime]

Looks very promising so far!

Looking forward in seeing new girls added to the updates (fingers crossed for Franziska the Skye sisters, and Desiree Delite especially)

 

[KamiKazoo]

Or the detective version of Ema Skye... (though her college self in the Investigations games might be fair game?)

Yeah, but to be fair, Ema is the same age as Maya so there is leeway with that (tho admittedly yeah, her Detective appearance is just *chef's kiss*)

Ever since I finished AA ages ago I had this weird fetish for this character.
Would be an interesting storyline if you like hypnosis.

I'll hope many characters make an appearance- if not in story.. could still be part of the cards. Porngame- doesn't need canonicity or a possible timeline.. And people will whine if a character is under 18 or something but that doesn't matter either.. It's not against ToS and there's always disclaimers that can be used to put their mind to rest. Really interested in just seeing variety in the card scavenging but probably will be only cards of characters that make an actual appearance. All appearances will feel like fanservice to AA fans so hiding them around makes collecting more interesting.. the possibility of finding your favorite character even if they're dead/haven't been met yet- etc.

Porngame- doesn't need canonicity or a possible timeline..

Not maintaining reverence for it's source material and verisimilitude is one of the biggest red flags for a fan work, including porn games. Once you break link with the canon of the source material that alters the expectations of the readers about how the source material will be used going forward in a way that can't really be recovered from. It diminishes the value of being a parody game in the first place. You can't depend on knowledge about the character from the source material until the game reasserts it. It can work for some games, but for a game that has already put so much effort into being faithful, I would be really disappointed to see characters inexplicably aged up, in situations they have no reason to be in, or brought back from the dead. It only takes a little bit of contrivance to avoid it in most cases though. Good fan service isn't just showing a character, it's making proper use of them to build off of their official depiction.

For dead characters, the setting does have spirit mediums. Maybe Bluecorp already has one on the payroll. It'd be a shock to find a card of Mia and have to figure out how it's possible and why she would agree to it.

True, would hope that her appearance would be more based on the Investigations appearance rather than RTFA (if she does appear here) since it's closer timeline wise and she'd be of age at that point (that and her Investigations design is pretty good too).

And agreed with her detective appearance, defo Ema at her best (and sexiest)!

Fair. I just really like collectables and surprises and finding those cards and seeing old(or new) series characters would have been fun. But then I realize phoenix already acknowledged the cards existence and tied them to the main plot even- so they cant be some meta bonus material anymore.

Yea, I think the cards is a great way to have more characters than you could do normally. And I like that its part of the main story, so it will hit more when people Phonix knows better start to show up.

Out of curiosity Mochi, how many days do think the game will cover, or is that too spoilery a question?

The plan is for the playable part of the game to be set over 7 days, and then there's an intro and an ending. :]

 

[oldscarecrow]

Did we play the intro, Day 1 or both? or is the intro like something different like a video that plays before the start of the game?
Sorry if this seems obvious...it's just not clicking what you mean by intro.

The intro was everything before the "Day 1" screen, when the investigation begins.

I have never thought that one day there would be an Ace Attorney game like this......

 

[FlyOnTheWall42]

Looks great! Eagerly awaiting more!

 

[Noburu]

Let me just say..
first few minutes of the game would knock an epileptic down cold on the floor
I forgot PW games were like that in the olden days but Holy Frick
I went in to get All hot and bothered end up tweaking and cross-eyed

cool game tho, just wish it ain't flashbangier than OG DBZ
but if it cant be helped then why not just make it a full blown flashbang with the tinnitus ringing for the memes
