I hope to have a quick update video out within the week. A few little things to go over as well as an attempt at some more transparency into what the hold up is.

On another note; I provided some of the visual assets I worked on to youtube.com/@AceTeamPL and they've worked tirelessly on their end to produce a Polish variation of the "cinematic" dub style we've been doing here.

So if you're a native or learned Polish speaker you can check their debut out here:

I try not to make promises because I can never be sure whether life's RNG will allow for it.

But that doesn't mean I don't have my eyes on things.

Currently re-editing the last 3 scenes of part 4 after a file corruption error and then I still need to finish paying off two of the remaining voice talents, but then we should be ready to start rolling out this case this month (I feel comfortable saying that with certainty this time as I shouldn't be hit with 4 more unexpected bills out of the blue).

I'm eyeballing the 22nd/23rd for a release window should all go well, but I'm just ready to finally get this one out into the wild.

Good pieces of news:

1.) I've not given up on this.

2.) I should definitely have Big Top ready to go at some point in June (next month).

The sooner, the better, but I don't want to promise early or mid June only to end up at the end of it because of who knows what.

Sorry for the long silence, past few months have been harsh in many ways: will have full update within a week's time to explain. But from family matters, some bungled communications on my part, and hardware issues (including the corruption of an entirely edited episode causing a need to re-edit one episode from scratch again); it has been a bumpy ride to say the least.

Sorry about the substantial delay on this particular case, it's been a hell of a ringer getting this one prepared with matters ranging from very personal matters that have been keeping me busy on top of my regular day job, a recast, a near recast, and even voice talent falling significantly ill.

To top it off: the Big Top characters are all WAAAAAY more animated than usual Ace Attorney characters up to this point as well. So even the editing takes 3-4 times longer because I'm having to consider Moe's stupid carrot every time he move, Acro's birds, the fact that Ben and Trilo exist as two characters on the screen at the same time, etc.

It's just been a lot to deal with, but thankfully: there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

Once it's all edited together, my focus will be on finalizing payments to the talents involved at which point I'll be content/satisfied to release.

Part 3 will probably be done and rendered by Sunday, or hopefully sooner, but work has my hands tied the next two days (Thursday/Friday) and the above mentioned personal matter will potentially have me out of town most of Saturday so Sunday is probably the safer bet.

Parts 4, 5, and 6 are waiting for some final bits of audio, but as soon as I have them 5 and 6 will probably be finished within a day or two of receiving said audio (they have to be rendered, watched through for potential errors, and possibly re-rendered as a result) while part 4 MAY take some additional time if it's anywhere near as complicated as part 1 was to edit.

Investigations tend to eat up a lot of time in the editing software.

Provided it's not crashing.

Which is unpredictable.

Still hesitant to name a specific date for fear of missing any deadline that I name, but I assure you it'll be as soon as I can mange it.

Apologizes for the inconvenience, hope to have it rectified soon.

Thanks for your patience.

I didn't even know the Apollo Justice trilogy release date trailer dropped yesterday, but now that I have seen it...

I'm still making it a point to promise nothing beyond the original trilogy at this time, but the biggest issue with even considering anything after game 4 was the conversion to 3D being hard to work with in regards to the "cinematic" approach to how this fan dub is presented.

So an OFFICIAL mode that makes it easy to access the sprites and background art is AMAZING.

On a note related to the last post I made, I wanted to tackle the question of "did we change anything for Turnabout Big Top" and the answer has consistently been "no, because I would prefer the source speak for itself and let the original stand on whatever merits it has- this is not a "fan rewrite", it's a "fan dub".

THAT SAID: I did make one change that I can't imagine many people having an issue with and anyone that does is not someone I'm particularly interested in having an extended conversation with.

As such, I'd rather make that one change obvious now because it's worth mentioning that while Regina's age is never mentioned verbally in the course of the case, I and most of the cast agreed that raising Regina's age doesn't really destroy any plot point to a SIGNIFICANT degree.

So for the purposes of this particular dub, and any POTENTIAL future appearances (I promise absolutely nothing beyond "Trials & Tribulations" at this point): Regina will be portrayed as 19+ years old in her appearances on this channel.

Parts 1, 2, 3, and 5 of "Turnabout Big Top" look like this at the moment:

As you can see; all of the audio is aligned and appropriate SFX is included.

VFX like flashes, screen shakes, psychelock animations, etc are all done, and everything's just generally ready for a sprite and lip-sync pass.

I enjoy that particular part of editing and it isn't all too difficult to do- just a LITTLE time consuming (as you can see: part 1 on it's own clocks in around 1 hour and 7 minutes, so consider all 6 parts to lip sync).

Parts 4 and 6 are a little behind in the all around sense, but still a little more than 30-40% each done on VFX and SFX- waiting on some last second audio there to be able to progress those.

Quick update; mid-year peak at day job work has ended and I've received a boat load of the audio I was hoping to have by this time. Editing work can proceed as desired. Hope to have something to put out ASAP.
