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 !)
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.
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
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

girl relax, this is the beta

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.
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.

Will it support Cyrillic alphabet?
Like it can but he do it really strange

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

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.

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
