it's not like it's been 4 months i support this project financially just for 2 characters to be added each months, but since yall need to gaze it as if it was an awesome piece of work (60 days and still nothing on the horizon, how awesome this beta is !)
i am spending money to support the game, so thanks but actually i would like to feel a bit understood by this part-time game developer so they would actually use the little time span they've got to actually implement something useful. I've got a life too and other means to spend money, but if i haven't got even one single message even read since the release, please allow me to point it out on the itch.io page, okay ? I don't even know why you're taking part, thanks for the commonplace excuses but i already know that, i was just expecting at least some consideration from this lazy developer
Please, at the very least be grateful that this project exists in the first place. If you truly supported the creator, you wouldn’t be directing so much anger at her. Developing a video game is a long and tedious process — it takes several months, even years to complete. On top of that, she has a life outside of this and she’s developing the game entirely on her own. I also support her financially and I have no regrets at all. You just need to be patient and kind
Moreover... the "beta" was supposed to be released with features that were canceled like a week ago (investigations for instance, a QUITE BIG piece ngl), and over almost 3 months, the only new thing we got is Adrian Andrews and Larry Butz as characters.
Got any evvidence to back up that claim of investigations being cancelled? that's a pretty big claim and after looking into it for a few hours now, nothing came up.
https://gamtam.itch.io/aatc/devlog/854119/almost-christmas-2024-progress-update you're welcome, it was supposed to be ready on the first launch (which was told on kofi) but nooo, lets just be lazy. Try not to be condescending next time, im not claiming erroneous thing, although i don't know where you made your research
'I'm not claiming erroneous thing' to quote miles edgeworth in the first investigations game: I think the proper phrase you're looking for is "You fail".
That actually is one the things i managed to find in my research, however one thing stuck out to me like a sore thumb: nowhere in that does it say those are cancelled.
it DOES however say that they were being cut from the launch. due to real life stuff not letting them work on it as much combined with the lofty scale of turnabout creator making it impossible to implement everything on release as wanted and promised.
to quote the page you linked:
'That, in combination with my already lofty goals content-wise has led to a couple things not making it into the initial release.
The things being cut are the following:
All characters not from AA1 (with the exception of a couple that are already finished)
Any UI style other than the PW:AAT and AJ:AAT ones
Investigations"
Gametam even mentions later in the thing that investigations ARE working properly gameplay wise, it's just the editor itself and the editor's uni tat need work and even mention that they should drop in a future update, again to quote the post you linked: "Even though investigations are fully functioning from a gameplay perspective, it's a different story on the editor side of things. Because of all the variability that comes with each investigation screen, it's proving difficult to find a way to make a clear UI for it. I think I've found a way to go about it though, so hopefully it won't be long until it makes it in?"
That post doesn't confirm you were right, it in fact shows you have no idea what you're talking about and jumped to conclusions instead of actually reading the post alongside ignoring the fact that gametam has alot on their plate and is aware that they weren't able to implement them right away and lying to support your own personal agenda.
Is there a way people can help with the development of the game? Whether it be via beta testing, helping develop the game, providing ideas or other similar forms of help?
I think it'd be incredibly helpful to add customizable case states--so we can do things like "Do you want to add that statement to this witness' testimony?" far easier (as right now, we'd have to manually copy and repeat nodes in order to do that).
Even a "Set State" node that sets one of these states and a "Read State" node that routes to other nodes based on the selected state would be very helpful.
If you click on the "courtroom" background, you can move the sliders underneath to where you need it to be. Left is defense bench, centre is witness stand, right is prosecution bench. If you want it to pan, then have the S dot where you want it to start, and the E dot where you want it to end.
Probably late, but the sliders have 2 parts called "S" (start) and "E" (end). If you want to pan, you have to make sure the S is wherever you're currently at (0 for left, 50 for witness, and 100 for right). After that, make sure the E is where you need it to be. I found it a bit confusing at first, but I got it now.
I've been slowly going through this lovely case maker and mostly building examples for myself along with notes as to what features do what things. I have hit something that I'm not quite sure what it does. Either I'm missing something or perhaps it's a bug/not implemented yet.
So, with the side bar menu, the case settings allow you to change from Three Line Mode to Two Line Mode. That works fine, I can visually see what this adjusts. Now, there is an option in the sequence editor, just under the text boxes to check a box for "Two Line Mode." I've checked this box, but haven't seen any visual changes. My assumptions are that it would change the dialogue box for that one frame to Two Line Mode. However I don't notice any visual changes.
Are you going to add a case browser where you can upload your own cases to it and people can play them from there? I'd like there to be a better way to play other's cases besides downloading the case data, which not everyone leaves links to btw
That would be amazing. Please, GamTam, make a website where we can share our cases. I love making cases about what I learn in math class, and I would like to be able to share them with my math teacher without her having to download AATC.
I feel like simple prefabs would go a long way to make it 1000% more usable. The functionality is already getting there but it's a bit overwhelming is all. I need to see examples of cases from the community. Atm I get a bit lost.
I realized this morning this was gonna drop and I'm 3 weeks late, lol. I've downloaded today, but have yet to sink my teeth in it. Just wanted to vocally sound my support for all the work you've done! Thank you for doing this <3
Thank you for answering! although I do have another much more important question. for some reason I can't connect the little nodes to connect the sequences. do you know how to?
I have some questions. First how does the connection between different sequences work (Are there ant tutorials or something like that) and secondly I cant find Mia as a model apart from her channeled version. If anyone know how to add her please tell me.
I think you can connect the little nodes at the end of each sequence to connect them. while we're at it do you know how to make Franziska whip the defense and the judge?
if, on the main interface (the one you can link nodes etc) you click on the first node preview icon (the eye), the preview will work through every connected sequence !
WINDOWS will "defend" you're computer if the rogram is made by an unknown publisher by telling you not to open This happens to every exe in a the folder of a zip that was extracted

it says i can import custom songs, anyone know how?
girl relax, this is the beta
it's not like it's been 4 months i support this project financially just for 2 characters to be added each months, but since yall need to gaze it as if it was an awesome piece of work (60 days and still nothing on the horizon, how awesome this beta is !)
Gamtam isn't a fulltime game developer, they're a human being with a life just like you and me. And as the other person pointed out it's still a beta.

but what do i know right?
Will it support Cyrillic alphabet?
Like it can but he do it really strange
Is there a way people can help with the development of the game? Whether it be via beta testing, helping develop the game, providing ideas or other similar forms of help?
no, it would hurt her ego
I think it'd be incredibly helpful to add customizable case states--so we can do things like "Do you want to add that statement to this witness' testimony?" far easier (as right now, we'd have to manually copy and repeat nodes in order to do that).
Even a "Set State" node that sets one of these states and a "Read State" node that routes to other nodes based on the selected state would be very helpful.
Just had the thought of states having multiple possible values, while flags can be used for true or false conditions.
Either way, some player-controlled control logic would be nice.
I just noticed Larry is missing. Justice for Larry 🫡
no. JUSTICE FOR HERLOCK SHOLMES!
Edit:Larry's cool, too. GamTam, add Larry in 0.1.4, please!
hope she will do it next month, since we get like 1 update per month
guys the new version isn't booting up can anyone help?
* I can't use spaces in the evidence interface.
Do you need any beta testers?
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to switch between the different courtroom perspectives (defense bench, prosecution bench and witness stand)
If you click on the "courtroom" background, you can move the sliders underneath to where you need it to be. Left is defense bench, centre is witness stand, right is prosecution bench. If you want it to pan, then have the S dot where you want it to start, and the E dot where you want it to end.
The sliders seem stuck. I can't move them
Probably late, but the sliders have 2 parts called "S" (start) and "E" (end). If you want to pan, you have to make sure the S is wherever you're currently at (0 for left, 50 for witness, and 100 for right). After that, make sure the E is where you need it to be.

Hey, GamTam, when will AAI stuff be added?
I feel like simple prefabs would go a long way to make it 1000% more usable. The functionality is already getting there but it's a bit overwhelming is all. I need to see examples of cases from the community. Atm I get a bit lost.
I realized this morning this was gonna drop and I'm 3 weeks late, lol. I've downloaded today, but have yet to sink my teeth in it. Just wanted to vocally sound my support for all the work you've done! Thank you for doing this <3
How can I add evidence into the court record after a certain event? NOT from the start?
You can't yet unfortunately
I want that to be added, too. Would help greatly in a case I want to make.
are cross-examinations usually this messy?
uhm...i guess?
Can I add costum characters into my case?
no
Not yet, but at some point you can
we're still waiting, same for the investigations and psyche-locks (which were supposed to be present at the beta hum hum)
Can i type a Thai language in this? And if it can't, can you made it can do?🥺
This is a good idea. Even if the font isn't in the games maybe as a fallback it could use a default system font?
for some reason I can't connect the little nodes to connect the sequences. does anyone know how to?
for me you need to click on the node, release, and then click on the next sequence's node
does anyone know how to make Franziska whip the defense and the judge?
you cant currently but im sure she will make it possible
Thank you for answering! although I do have another much more important question. for some reason I can't connect the little nodes to connect the sequences. do you know how to?
i am killing you.
how do you not know?
do you just wanna pester me?
calm the hell down 😭. anywho I learned how to.
I have some questions. First how does the connection between different sequences work (Are there ant tutorials or something like that) and secondly I cant find Mia as a model apart from her channeled version. If anyone know how to add her please tell me.
I think you can connect the little nodes at the end of each sequence to connect them. while we're at it do you know how to make Franziska whip the defense and the judge?
you cant whip.
and if i see one more person ask how to connect the nodes
I WILL KILL THEIR PARENTS
i just very confused on how to even add text and everything else
Anyone know how to make a game over sequence actually work as a game over sequence?
if, on the main interface (the one you can link nodes etc) you click on the first node preview icon (the eye), the preview will work through every connected sequence !
How do you add images to the gallery?
how to use custom assets
Hey there, i got a warning for this game and it's saying I shouldn't run it. you guys sure this is legit? and doesn't have any viruses or something?
yes, it is legit
WINDOWS will "defend" you're computer if the rogram is made by an unknown publisher by telling you not to open
This happens to every exe in a the folder of a zip that was extracted
thanks guys
