Hey, everypony!
It’s been a while since we last showed you some work from our composer, Trot Pilgrim, so to give you some more tidbits from case 2, this time we thought we’d share a couple more songs that he’s been working on. We can’t give you the titles of these songs yet, as both of those would potentially be spoilers, but we hope you enjoy them all the same. 🙂
Hello, everypony! We’ve got some more stuff for you that you might like. At times when they weren’t busy with Case 2-related matters, our team has been working on putting together a sequel to our Meet the Voice Actors video from case 1. As before, we’ve put our new characters in a situation that lets each of them in turn have a spot where their voice actor gets to whet your appetite for case 2. And as a special bonus, we’ve also released the second piece of background music from case 2, that being Philo Reed’s theme, which is featured in the Meet the Voice Actors 2 video.
Enjoy!
Hello, everyone! It’s been a while! I’m happy to report that we’re finally done processing all of the applications we’ve received for case 2 recruitment. We’ve made final decisions, meaning that if an applicant hasn’t heard from us yet on a position that they applied for, then unfortunately, that means that they did not get that position. Sorry! We had a ton of very talented applicants, and we wish them all the very best, even if we weren’t able to give them a position on our team.
Before we get to that, though, we have a second announcement, as well: as of July 16, My Little Investigations is now three years old! July 16, 2011 marks the day on which I initially created the project file that ultimately ended up starting this whole project, though at the time I had thought that it was just going to be a week-long side project just for my amusement. Amazing how things sometimes just happen like that in life – the initial example post got put on Equestria Daily, I kept working on it, then ZeusAssassin contacted me in August, dawnmew contacted me in November, and we had our first recruitment in December. None of that was planned, but I sure as heck am happy that it all happened as it did. I wouldn’t have traded those three years for anything. To commemorate that anniversary, we’d like to give you just a little sneak peek at some of the stuff we’re working on for case 2, which will be at the bottom of this post.
Before that, however, I’d like to present the full roster of new team members. Please join me in giving them a very warm welcome!

And to give you a treat for having read this far, here’s a very early glimpse at some of the stuff we’re working on already for case 2. 🙂
Character art!
Animation!
Backgrounds!
Music!
That’s all we got for you so far. We look forward to working together with all of these awesome new team members, and we’re looking forward to bringing you an awesome second case!
We’ve got a lot of things that have been converging pretty darn quickly in MLI, so in the next few weeks you all should have quite a bit to look forward to.
To start with, we’ve got a first look at the original soundtrack in the game that Trot Pilgrim has been graciously putting together for us. This tune plays during the opening of the first case, where Twilight is going around Ponyville investigating the crime in question.
Trot Pilgrim has been doing some wonderful work integrating the quite diverse feelings in the soundtracks of MLP:FiM and Ace Attorney, and we hope you’re as excited as we are to have him on board.
Lots more to come in the near future, so stay tuned!
