Here's the pitch: "What if we created an Ace Attorney case with us Boarders as the characters?"

I'm serious. Perhaps we could make a whole fangame out of this!

So if you don't know what Ace Attorney is, it's a visual novel where you play as a defense attorney who tries to get their defendants acquitted in murder trials in a world where court proceedings last a maximum of three days. It's divided into two segments: Investigation, where players look around crime scenes, talk to people, and collect evidence and information to use in court, and Trial, where players cross-examine witnesses, answer questions, point out contradictions, and present evidence in order to build a solid case for the defendant. More information can be found on the wiki, but if you want a more detailed explanation of the gameplay without plot spoilers, you can ask an Ace Attorney expert!

Here's what we'd need:
- Enough people to play all the roles.
- A LOT of custom art assets.
- Enough brainpower to plan out a scenario where it would be plausible for the defendant to be wrongly accused of murder, for the real murderer to pull off the crime, and for the defense to have significant difficulty unraveling the real murderer's lies in court.
- Enough secrecy so that the people who want to be in the game can write all their character dialogue and motivation, but the people who aren't on the production team don't know what's going to happen in advance. (Otherwise the game would be too easy.)
- Someone who can work with the engine I have just presented. I haven't actually looked at the engine, but it's a fan-oriented project to help people make Ace Attorney games so I imagine user-friendliness is pretty high on their priority list.

Here is a brief overview of the roles:
- The defense: The protagonist. A defense attorney whose goal is to get their defendant acquitted!
- The prosecution: One of the antagonists. A prosecutor who will fight for a guilty verdict and resist the defense! They may also resort to legal technicalities to make their case.
- The judge: The judge who will deliver the verdict and manage the proceedings. Most of the time, judges in Ace Attorney side with the prosecution more easily because that creates more drama and difficulty for the protagonist, but whoever takes the role can choose not to do this, so long as they don't make things too easy for the defense!
- The victim: Of the murder. This is a crucial role.
- The defendant: The one accused of murder and the one the defense must acquit.
- The real murderer: Arguably the main antagonist. The one who committed the murder and is trying to get away with it. They get exposed in the end.
- Other roles: A cast of characters who provide crucial information the defense needs to turn the tables, either by talking with the defense in the Investigation or testifying in the Trial.

People who have already shown interest:
- Me, Neo New Skater. I can be pretty much anything as long as I get to be weird and/or hammy and get to say "OBJECTION!" at least once. I also have played the first two Ace Attorney games and can provide advice on how to make this truly Ace Attorney. I might also be able to help with the programming: I've never seen the engine before and my experience with programming is minimal, but I think I understand enough concepts to be a little helpful in this regard.
- Cicada. They wouldn't mind playing dead as the victim.
