Title: Phoenix Wright Game/Panel Anyone?
Post by: Sivand12 on November 18, 2014, 10:59:10 AM

I was thinking, kinda of having a kind of mock game for Phoenix Wright. I just started playing the game and I am totally addicted and would love to have a game show version of the actual game. Cosplayers would be preferred, but it's not mandatory.

Fans, what do you think? Think it would work or be worth the time?

Well, it would require a LOT of work to set up. Do you mean like a trivia game show? Or a full blown mock-trial after the style of the games? The trivia game show would be a little easier to run- you'd just need your list of trivia questions, the answers to those questions, and some manner of scoring system if you want to actually keep score.

A mock trial, on the other hand, is going to take a hell of a lot more work and coordination among all the involved actors. If you want to include the investigation phase, it might not even be well suited to a panel format at all. You'd basically need to write out and plan out the entire plot of the court case, the evidence involved, the witnesses, and everything. I've run a (very small-scale) online Ace Attorney roleplay, and even that was an enormous amount of work. Cooking up the trail of logic crumbs in evidence and testimony for the player to follow is even more difficult than it is as the player to find and follow that trail in the games.

I mean, it could work, and would probably be awesome, but basically it would be a pretty hefty commitment to set the thing up.

on the mock trial, I am more than willing to write the script if you get the actors for it within the month.
