I'm not necessarily asking for someone to do this for me, but I've never modded before and was wondering how straightforward or not it would be to edit basic text in a PC visual novel game, in this case the PC version of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles?
I basically wanted to change it to re-put in the copyright things they had to change for the English release, so the Sherlock Holmes stuff, Wilson back to Watson, Herlock Sholmes back to Sherlock Holmes etc. (Though I realise this will also require changing a few of the beginning scenes of the chapters which include his name, which are in English in the original release, so perhaps it would be possible to change those too)
I also figured I'd go through and do some other minor tweaks, I'm just not sure where to start when it comes to this kind of thing.

Text modification in The Great Ace Attorney
Moderator: Mod Janitor
I don't have any experience with it, so I can't help, but, according to PCGamingWiki, it's built in Unity, which is apparently easy to mod. Maybe @rusty_shackleford knows something.

Someone like @Dunadan would know more about editing assetbundles than me, none of my mods ever edited the assets, just code.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

@Xirix If it's Unity there's a good chance simple text edits like you want are easily achievable.
First I'd need to know the file/folder structure of the game.
Go to your install folder and look for a 'Game_Data' folder (i.e. for Drova the folder is 'Drova_Data', for Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous it's 'Wrath_Data'). Inside this folder look for a 'StreamingAssets' folder, then a 'Localization' folder. If these all exist (as I believe they should) let me know the contents of the Localization folder.
