After many years of work, (and delays) I am releasing the Beta for Chrono Source. A Chrono Trigger Prequel.

Amazing game so far!
Mild Spoilers:*****
I love it and its very exciting to see Zeal pre rising and 1000 A.D when Crono and Lucca are kids. Also i'm so psyched about Athen! I can't tell if he's Crono's father or Uncle. It probably said and I missed it!
Anyway he's awesome and I love his techs. Also SUPER AMAZING to play Schala and I love that she fights with daggers like Kid <3 :D :D Also I'm really intrigued about her being a wind innate. I never thought about it but no one really has wind do they? Interestingggg!
Love all the little connections to Cross in there! I liked the Dragonite people and love that there not quite reptite! And Ahh Yey Cyrus! We get to see his face! Great sprite! And Glenn as human WOO HOO! This is going to be fun!
Beta test activate:
Bugs:
Actually this might not be a bug but part of the beta testing process? While exploring Leene Square I talked to an old man which seems to have brought me to a cut scene at the end of the game.
Edit: Found a bug in 600 A.D. in one of the residents houses (left side by market in Truce) the house with the woman who has one son who claims having kids wears you out. if you go upstairs it leads to the upstairs of a house in 1000 A.D. (an old couple who are both tired) When you go back down the stairs its a different map than the one you entered and when you leave the house you end up in 1000 A.D.
Ditto for another house in truce. in 600 A.D. you enter and an old woman tells you dinner smells delicious. When you go upstairs its empty but when you go back down its a different house with an older couple where the retired gentleman is complaining about having to do housework and when you leave its 1000 A.D.
I'm thinking its a quick teleport fix. :)
************
End Spoilers.
Anyway, i'm still playing! Awesome game so far. Kick ass sprites and maps and fun game play. ^.^

I sure move fast for casual walking. Also, the nu in the Zedani main hub likes to moonwalk. Finally, the year is meant to be 12,005 BC if it's 5 years earlier. 11,995 BC would be 5 years after 12000 BC. BC = negative, AD = positive.
Played a bit more. Objectives can be a bit obscure at times, too much running back and forth between two places often, and I'm in 3 million BC after the dragonites take everyone and there's no path through the cave. I just either hit a dead end or a room with a chest in it. Additionally, some of the ground texture is very deceiving in this area. There appears to be a cliff in one part, but I'm able to walk over it.
-
Sorry I haven't checked back in a bit. Thanks for the reports! I will have to check some of the teleport fixes. I have already fixed the game end bug.
Schala is meant to be the only wind innate, as mentioned by one of the zealians.
I will have to check out what you mean about the caves. Have you made it through since? or are you still stuck?
Thanks again!
Athen's character is revealed indirectly, not through direct dialogue.
Please keep me updated as you play! Thanks!
-
Still stuck. It's an easy fix with RMXP, but I don't feel like installing it just to fix that.
-
Schala here's a better picture than the one I sent you last time.
The first 3 rooms the door is always to the right. the 2nd room door is tricky and might be the one your missing? The 4th room you go to the right up the stairs down and left.

I'm not seeing any glitches so far. If you could post a screenshot of where you believe you are getting stuck, I can take a look.
Also: I've fixed those teleport glitches.
Just an FYI in case you haven't stumbled upon it already. Hold the SHIFT button to run. ;)

*cough* Well, I don't feel 116 years old.

-
Yeah that was a huge oversight on my part. Clearly just not paying attention. There are a few pieces of dialogue with that throughout the game. Will need to fix. Please post when you find them thanks :)

Would suggest you make these changes, assuming it's 5 years before CT:
Zeal - 12005 BC
Middle Ages - 585 AD (factoring in that Cyrus was killed 10 years before CT)
Prehistory seems okay
1999 seems okay
"Present" should be 990 if it's 10 years before CT, 995 if 5 years
Also, it seems 1999 is a dead end. I've explored everywhere except a door blocked by a scientist. Nothing seems to move the game forward after the initial arrival.
-
Not every time period is 5 years off. Each is it's own time period.
As for Cyrus, he did not die in this reality, as the majority of the events of CT have not occurred, as this game's world has not been saved. (ie Janus hasn't been sent to 600AD, turned into Magus, etc)
As for 1999, if you truly have gone EVERYWHERE you should be leaving, and returning to talk to someone...
-
** spoiler**
if you have learned of the dragonians in 1999, you should talk to one of their ancestors.

ahh ok thanks, also.... 0% body fat anyone?

**UPDATE** BEEP BOOP!
Updated and fixed current known issues including a couple I ran into also (ie being able to stay at an Inn even if you are broke :P)
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/65uqre8fe69dxce/AADfAyx_b9O1qAQrbiKdCEWWa?dl=0
Just copy this folder over the existing "data" folder in the game directory!
Thanks!

I tried to install this package and I got a warning that the program was a keylogger...did that happen for anyone else?
-
I just re-downloaded it (My PC and everything on it died) and I got a warning that it was coming from an unknown publisher. (this happened the first installation too). Nothing bad happened to my computer last time (the PC dying had nothing to do with chrono source, it was my sister and soda *sob*) and so far this time all is well. I didn't get a warning about a keylogger o.o
I did however get this error (I got it last time too and fixed it by well...I own RPG Maker XP and opened it IN RPG Maker XP and played the game through that, but for folks who don't have RPG Maker XP not sure how they are opening the game:
-
Oh wait! I see you posted an updated Link! I downloaded the original Link WHOOPS!
Edit: Clicked the updated link I got a 404 error.
EDIT EDIT: I see you have a website! Downloading it from there!
EDIT EDIT EDIT: Error's still there. Once I catch up to where I was when my computer crashed i'll let ya know and will probably have more helpful comments
-
Hi! That error comes up because you do not have RPGMAKER RTP installed. I included the RTP in a folder once you unzip it. In case you can't find it:
RTP: https://www.dropbox.com/s/onlc80ffyuey0dt/RTP.rar?dl=0
(I've updated the links on the site as well)
-
I like the looks of this. Loving the sprite work in those pictures. That's almost exactly how I imagine a younger Schala to look, except her skirt was a bit longer.
....I'm wondering now if it's possible to make character sprite requests... >.>
-
Glad you like it. The Schala sprite was not my design actually. Credit goes to Tybeefox http://tybeefox.deviantart.com/art/Schala-sprites-6-0-87832485
Many others were mine however: Drago, Cyrus, Kina, young Crono, etc etc
Make a request if you like, I would need something to base the characters on, plus it would be done outside of ROM format (ie. an image file) And I wouldn't be able to guarantee any timeline.
-
Also! I've been doing a playthrough on youtube as well. Check it out:

-
What about RPG Maker MV? (uses HTML5 as engine, can export for multiple platforms, uses Javascript rather than RGSS, etc etc)
-
Is there any more of 1999 AD to explore after you complete Lab 16 and Lab 32?
-
Yes and No, There isn't much more to explore. You will have to return later though...
-
Wow, it seems I missed a good stuff.
-
Is there an updated download for this? I downloaded the original file but it doesn't seem to work and the dropbox link is dead.
-
Yes I created a second dl link at http://chronosource.wixsite.com/home/downloads
-
Do I need any of the other files or only the main one?
The dropbox accounts for the updates pack and RTP are both dead/locked.
-
Because of the high traffic I only ported the main download file, but if you just copy your "Save01" or "save02" file over to the newly downloaded folder, you should be fine. The main file has the RTP with it also.
I only ported over the main file as no one was showing interest in just the updates, and the fact that I now had the RTP included.
-
I don't have any saves so I think I should be okay. I installed but have yet to install.
Thanks!!! :)
-
Link is down : (
-
Feeso:
http://chronosource.wixsite.com/home/downloads
and even try 3 mirrors...
But... which install think should use at rtp if wanna play game?
-
I'm not sure what you meant by which to use for RTP. If you properly install the RTP which is in the download exe, the game will run
-
Setup or RTP_Standard_102 ?
-
open the RTP.rar then into the RTP folder, then InstMsiA.exe or InstMsiW.exe . I believe it depends on what region you are from, it's been a while I don't remember.
-
I REALLY wanna check this out but every time I click on the Dropbox link I get the following error: "Error (429)
This account's links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled! "
And it's said that for several days. A search of the interwebs for Chrono Trigger Source/Prequeal and all that yield nothing. Any chance of fixing the link or making a new one?
Thanks!
-
Link from several posts above, still works:

But... which install think should use at rtp if wanna play game?
-
Sorry I forgot to update this to the website URL
http://chronosource.wixsite.com/home/downloads
updated the original post now. Sorry!
-
Wait, was this the game that I saw on YouTube called, "Chrono Source?" If so then I really liked it! Good job!!!! :lol:
-
It is. Thanks! Did you manage to do a playthrough?
-
I tried to install this package and I got a warning that the program was a keylogger...did that happen for anyone else?
I have this warning to. I've downloaded from Google Drive.
It is something normal?
-
I had originally gotten the same issue. I am 99.9999% it's a false positive.
-
Same, I too got the warning. There seems to be a false positive tied to the game for some reason.
