"No matter what it takes, my only goal is to uncover the truth." Miles Edgeworth
Introduction
Spoiler : Introduction :
Hey everyone! So, this is a new trial I have planned for when V6 comes out, and with a little bit of luck, it will be the first decent AAI case . Lots of you may ask "Oh, but what happened to Udgey - Veteran Judge? Is it going to be cancelled?". The answer: no. Veteran Judge has not been cancelled. Veteran Judge is only put on hold. So don't despair, it WILL come out when the time comes.
This trial will only be a single case, not much based on the AAI nor AAI2 events (respecting them though.). I want this trial to be... Well... big. But not just big... It's more than that. I have already some story planned for this case, but, this case has its own backstory. A full-game-like backstory. Therefore, the parts of the case will be very long and of course, interesting.
Note: This case will contain no AAI2 spoilers at all (Except how AAI2 music and characters look)
The project is quite ambitious, and that is why I want to make this a collab. I alone, can't do a whole case, unless I want to see it suffer the same fate as Turnabout Airport. So, I will be looking for users who have at least some experience, so that we are able to make a really good case together.
Part 1: (75%) (Planning is done to 100%, only graphics missing) Part 2: (75%) More parts to be revealed
Synopsis
Spoiler : Arming the Turnabout :
It is another peaceful day for Miles Edgeworth in his office, when an unexpected article on the newspaper draws Edgeworth's attention. Recent FBI investigations on a suspicious small company called "Smartmall", have revealed it is in fact an illegal weapon trading company, named "Crossfire Inc."
The company will soon be closed after the discovery has been made public, but during the company's normal actvity, one of the FBI agents investigating "Crossfire Inc." has been found dead at the "Crossfire Inc." Headquarters.
Miles Edgeworth decides to take the lead of the case, and to investigate further at the Crossfire Headquarters. Mysteries, turns of events and twisted people will await... Who knows? Could Edgeworth's investigation lead him to something even bigger than what meets the eye...?
Characters

---
Adam Hayden
Mr. Hayden is a simple worker at Crossfire Inc. who is quite polyvalent. He was also born to be a joker. You can't tell whether he's joking or not. Adam will be one of your allies in this dark world of corruption... 28 years old

Note that the character list do not include returning characters like Edgeworth, Gumshoe or Kay.
And that is all for now. It's true that it can be a little ambitious and... perfectionistic. But I think that if we are a team we can handle it much more than well Expect a story with the same quality as AAI's, and if our writer team works well, even better

I would totally help with this if it weren't for me trying to avoid AAI2 spoilers. I spoiled myself on AAI and I had trouble getting through case 5, simply because I got bored after learning both of the case's major twists...

In fact this trial will have no AAI2 spoilers at all (The only spoilers are the revealing of the face of new characters since some sprites from AAI2 are used, but no spoiler sprites. Only characters which sprites and videos have already been seen. But they are not the characters themselves). But yes, the story will have nothing to do with AAI2, it's even more: Nothing from AAI2 will be mentioned.
The only character from AAI2 appearing is one seen in the trailers, so... yeah xD And he doesn't even last long
That means that either you play it or join it, you won't get spoiled on AAI2

Well, it's been only 10 hours since this was posted, and we already have got 2 new members for this
The 1st member is Tap, who joined as a Co-Coordinator! He will help a lot, specially regarding users out of my time zone
Then 2nd member is Trialman, who joined as a Beta-Tester! Don't be impatient, once it's done we'll send it to you all beta-testers
So, this team is growing at a nice speed. We need writers right now, so who would like to join as a writer? If you're a good spriter you can join too (When I say good, it means that you will have some quite hard work to do )
So, who wants to make this team bigger?
EDIT: ShadowEdgeworth just joined as a writer! Caution, the specialist in writing about Edgeworth has arrived! xD
ONly 1 spot left for the Writers!

By the way, Dan, I'm not sure whether we will have all of the features of AAI's investigations when AAO 6 is released. Unas is still deciding whether he should implement them in or after AAO 6.
I just wanted to let you know in case this causes any problems.
Since the making of the case itself won't start until V6 comes out, specially for that reason (Not knowing how will everything work and how/how many AAI features will be implemented). So I guess it shouldn't be much of a problem for the moment
Also, LilGav becomes a beta-tester!
EDIT: Bad news D: Don't Luke Atmey leaves the Dev team due to lack of time and he also thinks he isn't as good as I think. SO... Goodbye Don't Luke Atmey then D: That leaves us with 1 more writer slot!

God I want to join this, but I really don't want to be spoiled on anything from AAI2 at all... I want to come into it as fresh as a baby coming into the world (bad analogy- yes. But was it effective enough- yes). I've even avoided the trailers for this reason. Well, I wish you the best of luck for the project!

So, the writers team is complete! Now we need spriters! So if you're good at spriting good backgrounds, you would be of a lot of help
1 spriter slot will be reserved to someone who is able to draw AA art, and even better if he knows how to colour it. We need someone to do the Black/White images of what happened and reminiscences and etc...
