FUCK YES LETS FUCKIN GO (obscure interest-within-an-interest edition)

So I was doing a bit of re-research for my Contempt of Court Iceberg writeup so I could refamiliarize myself with the context of what I'd put there. But while I was looking up stuff, I found out that there's been a massive update/overhaul/port? ish? type thing? to PyWright, which is the engine that the game was made in. Which is good, because PyWright was looking pretty fucking outdated the last time I'd looked at it.

Screenshot of GodotWright running on MacOS. The case selection menu for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: The Contempt of Court is set to the first case "Turnabout Scapegoat". The case art depicts Phoenix Wright standing against a blue background, with the silhouette of an unknown character and a King of Hearts playing card depicted alongside him. Two options are selectable below the case's title: "New game" and "Resume game".

Behold: GodotWright! Aside from the name being a neat unintentional reference to the character that hooked me on AA in the first place, this program is basically a fork of the original PyWright that runs in the Godot Engine (which some may remember as the engine Sonic Colors: Ultimate and Buckshot Roulette run on, among other games). It promises faster rendering (which I have noticed while testing it out) and fixes to certain issues that PyWright had (which I haven't noticed so far, although that's because I haven't gotten to any notable buggy parts). So far, my experience with it's been good. However, the text does run a bit faster than PyWright did, which can be an issue when watching the intro cutscenes and other sequences that auto-advance text. And it also has the nasty side-effect of the voice blips having what sounds like a malfunctioning printer in the background because of how quickly they overlap. But ehh. Hopefully the dev will fix these issues soon. The most recent update was in Nov. 2023, so I assume it hasn't gone to abandonware status yet.

(also it comes free with Contempt of Court so now you have no choice but to play it so help me God I'm DYING out here there are like 12 people in this "fandom" and 2/3 of them are either antis, JP stans or both I NEED more people to be unhinged about this game with AAAAAA)
