- Fixed screen stuttering and choppy background music right after sentencing: caused by an ever-growing trial record log that made every save operation slower over time. The log now keeps only recent entries, and the save no longer interferes with the screen transition.
⚖️ Fixed a bug where mitigating evidence (e.g., restitution deposit receipts, abuse-history medical records) was submitted by the prosecution as if it proved guilt. Evidence is now submitted by whichever side its actual content favors. 🎥 Improved CCTV/photo evidence visuals: "assault" scenes now show an actual striking motion with an impact effect, and group assaults get a dedicated scene with…
🧑⚖️ Character sprite fix: removed the stray sparkle/highlight artifacts on the eyes, hair, and clothing of the defense attorney, defendant, and prosecutor sprites. Fixed the issue where eyes looked like they had multiple overlapping pupils. ⚖️ The "this game is a fictionalized dramatization" disclaimer now appears every time you launch the game (previously shown only once). 🖥️ Fullscreen sup…
⚖️ Detailed suspended-sentence system — combine an underlying term (6mo–3yr), a suspension period (1–5yr), probation, community service (0–300h), and an education order (0–100h, auto-suggested by case type) for realistic sentencing 🎬 Animated main-menu background using real courtroom photography with a slow crossfade 😡 New "repeat outburst" event — defendants who ignore a verbal warning may a…
⚖️ Tainted Defense Evidence Evidence submitted by the defense can now also carry a procedural problem, not just the prosecution's. Prosecution: unlawful-investigation style (warrantless seizure, coercive interrogation, entrapment, etc.) Defense: fabrication/bias style (statements coordinated after the fact, paid witnesses, statements recanted under inducement, edited footage, uncertified privat…
Hello, Your Honor. This update completely redraws the evidence visuals and fixes several smaller bugs. 🖼️ Evidence Art Overhaul Evidence photos and CCTV capture frames have been redrawn with far more detail: a wood-textured evidence table, a pinned "EXHIBIT" index card, and gradient shading/highlights on every object — a metallic knife blade, textured cash, detailed gun parts, granular drugs,…
Hello, Your Honor. This update makes the evidence system feel a lot more real. 🎥 CCTV Freeze-Frame Overhaul Completely redrew the CCTV capture screen to look like real surveillance footage — a green monochrome night-vision tone, grain and scanlines, an in-frame "CAM 04" label and a blinking "MOTION" indicator. Scene props now vary by case type: shelves and a counter for theft, a fallen victim…
⚖️ New Content Recurring rival attorneys: Three named defense attorneys and three named prosecutors now occasionally take the opposing seat, each with their own fixed look. Repeat encounters are reflected in dialogue, and veterans you've faced many times push harder in argument. Grounds for the Ruling: Before finalizing a sentence, choose the primary reason behind it (severity, remorse, sentenc…
⚖️ New Trial Mechanics - Evidence is no longer revealed upfront. During the trial, the prosecutor or defense will shout "Objection!" and submit new evidence — as the presiding judge, you review it in full before deciding whether to admit or reject it. Only admitted evidence appears in the Evidence list. - Detailed evidence viewing completed for all 55 cases (review reconstructed CCTV footage, N…
🎵 Sound Update - Added a dedicated background track that plays throughout every trial - Added a dedicated tension track that kicks in during high-stakes moments (e.g. when the defendant's true nature is revealed, or the prosecutor's shoddy investigation comes to light) - Added a click sound effect for menu buttons - Added dedicated result music for unjust verdicts (including being charged with…
- Fixed the prosecution/defense advantage gauge bar cutting across characters' faces on wide screens (shrunk it down and moved it into the HUD row, between the case title and public suspicion) - Added background music to the title screen - Plays through the menu screens and automatically stops once a trial begins, resuming when you return to the title - Synced with the mute button

- Fullscreen desktop now fills the entire screen edge-to-edge, with no empty margins on the sides - Significantly enlarged text and icons across dialogue, buttons, evidence, the verdict screen, and the HUD buttons (evidence/summary/settings/ sound/home) - Added an "Exit Game" button on the title screen - Added a pixel-art courtroom background (wood paneling, court emblem, gallery seating) - Enl…
