Project Introduction

We at PlaceHolder Name Studio are asking for feedback to recently translated demo version of our historical drama mystery Visual Novel – Court of Crowns. We have created our game in Game Maker Studio 2, and the demo is released on Windows and HTML5. Soon it will be released on Android as well.

In our Ace Attorney inspired game, you play as Princess Adela de Rex, a young heiress to the throne, and you are tasked with presiding over Crown Court. Similarly to AA games, you are involved in questioning witnesses, but you also restore order during heated debates, and compare opposing parties’ versions of events.

Features

• Ace Attorney inspired gameplay, but from the perspective of a judge
• Voiced acted recurring lines
• Costume drama set in fictional world based on late XVIII/early XIX century
• Personality Quiz that determines one of 8 possible believes sets for the main protagonists, which influences her lines and inner narration

In the future we also intend to have following features

• Story influencing choices
• Multiple endings for each episodes, involving various outcomes of its cases
• Actions from past episodes having consequences in next ones
• Ability to influence your relationship with different characters, making them either reliable allies or fierce enemies

Progress

We have a finished and translated around one hour demo, that covers about 40% of Episode 1. We plan on making 5 separate episodes.
