Es...Hey, so I wanted to note a few things for you:<br /><br />Escape rooms and locked-room mysteries are not the same. An escape room, like Zero Escape, is what you already know, being an inside-out puzzle box where the player solves riddles to get a key to get out of the room.<br /><br />However, a locked-room mystery is not the same. A locked-room mystery is any mystery in which the crime occurs in an impossible-to-access and impossible-from-which-to-escape location, such as a room locked from the inside with the only key. The impression is that the crime is supposed to appear impossible, and the puzzle is in figuring out how it could possibly be done. This also applies if there's one (innocent) person in the room and you have to prove how they could be feasibly innocent.<br /><br />Takumi Shu has written tons of these locked-room mysteries and other impossible crimes in cases like 1-3, 1-4, 2-2, 2-3, TGAA1-2, TGAA1-3, TGAA1-4, TGAA1-5, TGAA2-1, TGAA2-2, TGAA2-3, and TGAA2-4/2-5, all of which are impossible crimes and locked-room mysteries in some capacity. <br /><br />The term "locked-room mystery" is misused a lot, and is not the same as "closed-circle" mystery (Danganronpa) or "escape room" (Zero Escape)! Hope this helps!HeartfeltDesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14992885956277891200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448989406699353420.post-30299915070970772442022-09-18T02:01:45.778+02:002022-09-18T02:01:45.778+02:00"But I think that Naruhodō fits the poor imag..."But I think that Naruhodō fits the poor image best" and thats how beanix was bornEYEBROWShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06923168481583956801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448989406699353420.post-6176990520163447912022-06-29T11:57:44.038+02:002022-06-29T11:57:44.038+02:00Wasn't notified of your response in another on...Wasn't notified of your response in another one of your blogs (https://gyakutensaibanlibrary.blogspot.com/2017/04/15th-anniversary-gyakuten-saiban_17.html), but still thanks for sharing even though I'm years late.<br /><br />The locked room mystery genre, seemingly pioneered by Kotaro Uchikoshi and Takumi Nakazawa, has seen some interesting developments since this somewhat prophetic essay was written in 2010. The Zero Escape and Danganronpa series took off in the last decade, and their creators went on to make multiple spiritual successors to those series like AI the Somnium Files. "The Room" series of virtual escape rooms on smartphones is a highly celebrated franchise on phones with plenty of instalments, aimed at a more casual audience considering its lack of a story. Other games like The Sekimeiya, Nankidai's Your Turn To Die, Takumi Nakazawa's Root Double, Miracle Moon's Abime Series, Tatsuro Iwamoto's Sweet Fuse, Corpse Party, Gnosia, and so many more are all games that take elements from the locked room mystery genre and put their own spin on it. Some of the games are even really successful with big fanbases.<br />But it seems that the popularity has waned, or at least shifted away from locked room mysteries. Now, it seems that Death Games and/or Social Deduction mysteries are dominating. Some of the aforementioned games make clever use of elements of that hot new genre. Jiro Ishii's Crimesight is a great example of a recent new game in this trending genre.<br />That said, I would still like to see Shu Takumi's take on a locked/escape room mystery game. At times Ghost Trick had some similarities to that genre, so a new game completely leaning in on those aspects would be cool to see, despite the popularity wave being beyond its peak. A game with elements of social deduction (which Ace Attorney already has plenty of to be honest) or a death game by Shu Takumi could be interesting too. He probably has plenty ideas for what he wants to do next and probably has been pitching new IP constantly at Capcom. I hope once Ace Attorney 7 releases he can once again make use of that "once in a decade chance to make a new IP" (we're due one considering Ghost Trick is 10+ years old), but only if AA7 does not set up a sequel or trilogy of more stories.AEChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288374337341926022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448989406699353420.post-6908232912469582442022-05-31T09:08:28.970+02:002022-05-31T09:08:28.970+02:00I was checking this page and was left wondering if...I was checking this page and was left wondering if the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles producer, Yasuyuki Makino, would also belong on this page.<br />Admittedly, they've only been the main producer for a single re-release and don't appear to show up on any translated content in this library, but the same would apply to Itō Akiko, I guess.Tiagofvarelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12061190962312048860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448989406699353420.post-74454166278701224542022-01-08T02:58:50.615+01:002022-01-08T02:58:50.615+01:00Same here!

Or maybe he couldn't mention whatever hell they are facing now.<br /><br />From the sounds of it, he is perhaps not working on that "smaller scale game that is fun exactly in the way he wants it to be" but I hope at some point we are getting that "miracle game" he mentions, similar to Ghost Trick. But maybe the financial failure of Ghost Trick has forever closed the door on getting something equally new from his team. I wonder if he has considered going independent, like so many of his fellow Japan Game Awards jury panel members have done before him.AEChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288374337341926022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448989406699353420.post-17404960849258277612021-10-29T10:09:13.943+02:002021-10-29T10:09:13.943+02:00Sadly enough no, there were more people they didn&...Sadly enough no, there were more people they didn't interview I had loved to see, like Iwamoto, Suekane and some of the producers!

Perhaps that's what Yamazaki later in 5 and to a lesser extent in 6 opted for a more clear distinction between two directors (story and game) and their tasks?Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349298369385273080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448989406699353420.post-73373741133360018262021-07-21T23:13:12.825+02:002021-07-21T23:13:12.825+02:00I was always confused about Takumi's involveme...I was always confused about Takumi's involvement for AA4. Him not being credited as the director made me wonder how his role changed compared to before. Funny that he was also confused about his new position. From this interview, I get the impression he basically co-directed the game.<br /><br />Too bad his desire to have a new person take over the series was not successful with AA4. Maybe that is why there was a relatively long gap between the releases of AA4 and AA5? Nobody proved that they could direct an installment in the series except Takumi and Yamazaki, who were both occupied with their own projects in the interim. With both Yamazaki and Kodama now gone from Capcom, and a desire from Takumi to move on from the series (as I understand it), I wonder what that means for the future of the series.<br /><br />Also, the Mr. Hat animation was always my favorite in the game. That little detail where Trucy uses her topit to control the puppet was such a nice touch (https://aceattorney.fandom.com/wiki/Trucy_Wright_-_Sprite_Gallery?file=Trucy_and_Mr._Hat_4.gif#Aged_15_(AJ:_AA)_ ). Too bad they could not replicate that little detail in 3D when Mr. Hat returned in Spirit of Justice (https://aceattorney.fandom.com/wiki/Trucy_Wright_-_Sprite_Gallery?file=SoJ_Trucy_Wright_-_Mr._Hat_3.gif#Aged_17_(PW:_AA:_SoJ)_ )<br />AEChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288374337341926022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448989406699353420.post-35260480927819259782021-07-17T19:07:40.040+02:002021-07-17T19:07:40.040+02:00I applaud the detail obsession!I applaud the detail obsession!Fucker boyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11669855569074080766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448989406699353420.post-42479429790480411442021-06-17T12:06:04.671+02:002021-06-17T12:06:04.671+02:00hey bud i dont want to burst your bubble from thre...hey bud i dont want to burst your bubble from three years ago but phoenix wright absolutely only went into law for edgeworth Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04640198254371833386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448989406699353420.post-83870182165849533912021-04-16T18:30:57.262+02:002021-04-16T18:30:57.262+02:00Can you tell me the links ofthese videos?

How much time must that have taken. I think Takumi even said that 1 of the programmers was responsible for creating the engine, which means that only 1 programmer had this "performance director" job. In addition to the fact that 1 programmer suddenly stopped and a Resident Evil team member had to jump in at the end of development, it is quite impressive that the first game even released.AEChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288374337341926022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-448989406699353420.post-34253578332618724922020-12-18T08:30:29.039+01:002020-12-18T08:30:29.039+01:00The Minami translations of the Lupin novels are of...The Minami translations of the Lupin novels are often simplified and slightly altered from the originals as they're basically meant as children's book series (and they have awesome retro covers), so I wonder how much the Minami version of Sholmes differs from the Leblanc Sholmes.
