Talking past tea time hours...

@mudzdale

I humbly present my pitch for pl vs aa 2: Professor Layton vs. The Great Ace Attorney!

(pls click for better quality idk why it keeps doing this)

In which Professor Layton and Luke (and hopefully Flora bc I love her) suffer time travel shenanigans and end up in the late 1800's following clues in the past to help them unravel a mystery in the present, and joined by Ryunosuke and Susato.

Maybe there's a subplot with Phoenix and Maya in the present trying to uncover clues Professor Layton left them in the past, like through the archeological artifacts in his office or sm.

Bonus:

Without the graphics:

(i wanted to contrast the dark blues and purples of the original, so I did yellow and green. And it's somewhere in Italy or Greece I guess for the light airy architecture instead of the heavy Gothic original. The big statues there as a centerpiece to replace the Grand Archive from the first game.

heyyy I turned the Beta Kids’ handwriting into useable fonts!

these are very basic 60 character fonts! I will probably expand these into full fonts with numbers and special characters later (need to buy font software first). I am aware @taehyunglesbian did this in like 2012, but their fonts are no longer available for download. @rubysapphrald also did this in 2021 with all the kids and some trolls (theirs is still available for download). I wanted to try my hand at it too! Fair warning: these are somewhat anachronistic since we don’t see all the necessary letters from every kid— hence my choice of the word “reconstruction.” I will be working on Alpha Kids’ handwriting next! I haven’t found a sample from Jane, however, so pls send one to me if you find :o
