This blog will be updated soon, stay tuned!

Hello, everyone. I’m Crystalwarrior, an Attorney Online user who joined in 2018. I became an Attorney Online developer in 2019, and retired in 2023. I have authored 39,458 lines of code just to the AO Client alone, spearheaded the development Attorney Online version 2.8 under CrazyJC’s direction and been a developer up until Attorney Online version 2.10.0, after which I retired.

As the AO2 client reaches a turning point in its lifecycle, development has returned – at least for the time being.

AO 2.6 has been released! This release adds new features to the official client, including guilty/not guilty buttons, the ability to pair up with a co-prosecutor or co-defense on the same bench, a markup language for modifying text color and speed, as well as a settings dialog. Here is a full list of additions:

In a few hours, I will be performing maintenance to the master server to move the entire server list to an actual database. During the very brief maintenance period (perhaps a few seconds), all players and servers will lose connection with the master server. After the maintenance is complete, players and servers will then reconnect automatically. Reasons for the upgrade

AO2 only became what it became after getting away with using a label and a QMovie widget to play sprites. But it worked: it could play GIF animations without any pain.

We have probably accomplished more in the past three days than I have been able to accomplish in the past month.

We’ve decided to begin the year with a new website and blog! For a long time, we’ve wanted to write more about development progress, ideas, and events in a centralized place to save players from having to read the thousands of messages in our hectic Discord server. From Attorney Online’s long and contrived history, no news has always been the status quo – but evidently, the status quo has changed.
