Happy Holidays (A Devlog Update)!


Hello everyone, and Season's Greetings! Or, as some might say...

Fake "Merry Christmas" Screenshot

Our demo to "Echoes of a Turnabout" has been out for over two months now; since then, Team Snowcone's been hard at work continuing to prepare the full game for it's release in early 2025! We've nearly doubled the wordcount that the original demo had (jumping from 25,000 words in the demo to over 45,000 words and counting for the full game), we're finalizing the sprites for the rest of the cast of characters that will be included, and we've also added the last of the remaining evidence that you'll discover as you continue to investigate the Gatewater Imperial Hotel!

Here's a teaser of a few of those additional pieces of evidence waiting to be discovered...

"What's that Evidence!?"

We've also received so much valuable feedback from all of you who have played our demo so far and have bumped down the brightness on the game's backgrounds, as well as have been working on developing our own "dossier" system (to function in a similar fashion to the "court record" in the canon Ace Attorney games). We've also added more music--including a couple original pieces just for this fangame! 

WOWZA! 💥 What a year! It's hard to believe we've been working on "Echoes of a Turnabout" for 6 months, now. We're so incredibly grateful to everyone who has played and enjoyed the game's demo, and we're so, so grateful to everyone who has sent us so many kind messages about your experiences and thoughts! We love watching the playthroughs that have been shared with us... which, for the few of us on Team Snowcone who this is their first game, has been a nascent experience! So this holiday season, it feels fitting to try to express our gratitude to you all as much as we can. 

Happy Holidays from Team Snowcone. We love and appreciate all of you, and look forward to seeing you guys in the new year! 

Happy Holidays from Team Snowcone
