Let me uh, write some stuff here

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

Not much has been going on on my end in the past few months, but a lot has been happening in the phoenix wright community! So much that I for one feel a bit disconnected.

First, the post at invisionfree kind of died out, after a pretty good effort from some people to get some PyWright related improvements started. Some of the fruits of that labor were included in 0.986, but a lot of things in the community made the thread a low priority for people. Including me :) RIP, maybe we can start another effort in the future.

GK2 :( The fact that Edgeworth’s second game is not being ported to english was very disheartening. Even though the first AAI was not my favorite of the series, and even though casemakers like PyWright allow us to break free of whatever tidbits of the potential story Capcom are able to give us, it still was a bit damaging. A lot of people lost heart I think. I know I did.

Then, the court-records forums came back. This would normally be a good thing, but we have been at the other forums for so long that it is hard to adjust. The old threads haven’t been posted to in 6 months, and while there is a lot going on, it’s all a bit chaotic.

Besides all of that, there are still quite a few people using the PyWright engine. 0.986 still has a few bugs I think, but nothing major. It’s cool to see all of the work being done, but it is a little overwhelming. I want to take a closer look at each game and watch their progress, but I can’t really do that anymore. Be sure to watch the threads at court-records to see all the great games being made! There are even some good ones being made in other engines as well :)

I am still tinkering with the engine and going to put out 0.987 in time. I’m still not sure how close we are to 1.0 or if we will ever get there, but as long as I still have things I want to do, they will get done. It’s just a matter of when!

I do have some nice surprises that I hope to be able to show soon.

Thanks to everyone for your emails and support!
