Well, i have started to create a new Chrono trigger sequel. It will be made in RPG Maker xp, like much of the other fan made sequels. The Story will start 50 years afte CT. I havenīt finished Chrono Cross yet, because i didnīt like it :P, so iīll just stick to the CT history, and just borrow some ideas from CC, like the Porre revolution or the Frozen flame. The Battle system wonīt be very good, iīll try to use the RPG maker system whit some changes, iīm not good at scripting. Well, there are some Descriptions:
The Ages:
Modern Age:
Year: 1900 AD
Nations:
GUHN (Global Union of Human Nations): This "Nation" owns the two Zenans, Choras and south Medina. Itīs a Federal nation, governed by a technocratic system, this system consists basically of a technocratic counsil and the Directo, who is the "ruler" of the Union. Their system is very racist and mystics are not allowed into their borders. The highly controled people, live "Happily" in this new nation, because of the represive laws that governs the country.
Medina: Medina has become in a city full of refugees from the GUHN. Their technology is two centuries outdated and the GUHN has an embargo against it. Their people live in poberty and unhappyness, but itīs also the base of operations of a group of rebels that are planning to take over the GUHN.
Technology:
Civil: Civil technology is highly advanced, all itīs computarized. The citizens are marked whit chips to track them. And teleporting technology has expanded greatly. In Medina, the technology is more backwards, teleporting technology hasnīt been "discovered", computers are highly used, but there are still many things that arenīt cmputarized, cars are still highly used, and the people live whitout of beign marked.
Naval: The GUHN donīt use ships anymore, their only use teleporting or airships. In Medina, ships are still used for illegal trading whit some parts of GUHN.
Air: In Medina, airplanes are still used as war machines. In the GUHN they use high tech Airships, that have better control and better firepower, they also use it for transport. Also the GUHN has developed space technology, they have space ships and a colony in the moon.
Military: The GUHN, use high tech laser machineguns and teleporting devices in their military. Medina is still stucked whit bullet weapons.
Industrial Age:
Year: 1400 AD
Nations:
Choras: The Republic system installed after their independence is still going. It has become a world power, and itīs trying to expand to win more resources. Their Republic has become with time, less and less representative, making the citizens lose their faith in the republic.
Medina: Medina has been a peacefully town. But the arms race between Porre and Choras, has make the government preocupied, and are starting to arm because of a possible war whit Choras.
Guardia: Guardia has been trying to keep peace trough diplomacy whit Choras and Porre. Like Medina are starting to arm because of the fear of a possible war whit Porre. But its role is more active than Medina.
Porre: Porre has grown into a World Power, leaving Guardia behind. Their coal, taken from the Denadoro Mines and the Cursed Mines, has helped them to upgrade their military. Their System is an absolute monarchy, centered in winning more power to overcome Choras.
Technology:
Civil: The civil technology is very coal based, but pretty advance. Computers, Television, Microwaves, etc... are used in the houses.
Naval: Basically based in steam powered dreadnoughts and submarines.
Air: The airplanes have been invented in Guardia, but its still growing, the planes are biplanes and triplanes, no bombers have been invented, the only bombing airship is the Zeppelin.
Military: The military is based in rifles, cannons, gatling cannons. But in Porre the machinegun has been recently invented.
Present:
Year: 1050 AD
Nations:
Porre: After rebeling against Guardia, it became an Absolute Monarchy. After the King Tata I died, King Tata II came into power, but in contrast whit his father, he didnīt concentrate too much in the Military, so the military whitdrew from Guardia and the Invasion of Choras was cancelled. Anyway they still have a big military and have a represive regime in Porre, but itīs softer than the Tata Iīs regime.
Guardia: After the whitdrew of Porre, Guardia begin reconstructing, their Constitutional Monarchy became an Absolute Monarchy again, trying to focus more in the military this time, to prevent another attack. After the Porre revolution, Guardia lost his Imperial Power, and lost Choras and South Zenan.
Choras: After Porre conquered Guardia, Choras declared independence from Guardia, because Guardia no longer will be able to protect them, became a Republic and started a commercial expansion policy, founding the town of Melchior and beggining to mine the Heckran cave.
Medina: Stayed Neutral in the Conflict between Guardia and Porre, and has lived in peace whit humans, peace that helped Medina to become an economic power.
Techonolgy: Like CT 1000 AD.
Funding Age:
Year: 1 BC
Nations:
Alagira: Alagira is an Emirate centered in the South Zenan Desert, it owns all of South Zenan and almost all north Zenan, the only thing not controled by Alagira in North Zenan is the City of Truce. In this Year a new war started and the Emirate has decided to attack Truce to gain control of all North Zenan, and that way closing the Zenan market to Choras.
Choras: Choras is a Republic ruled by a Senate. The Senate is discussing the issue of helping Truce in this war, act that could unleash a world war. Anyway some Choras People have been helping Truce secretly.
Truce: Is a kingdom in a state of war agains the Emirate, and itīs trying to get help from Choras in this war that its almost lost.
Technology: The technology is stucked in a dark age, itīs little lower than the one in 600 AD, the difference is that bronze is still widely used, and construction hasnīt grow so much. Religion has taken a big role in the world.
Bronze Age:
Year: 8000 BC
Nations:
Zenan: This is the south part of the great city of Zenan wich was separated by an earthquake. It has been the center of the world for thousand years, but now the people of North Zenan have emigrated to Choras, where a new city has been founded.
Choras: Recently founded is trying to rise and bring prosperity to its people.
Hanwak: A tribal village, north of the town of Zenan. Their people hate Zenan, because of their expansive policies on the past. They are the only town of the world that does not pay tribute to Zenan.
Technology: Bronze Age technology

If there is something that is wrong (In the History) please let me know. Also there are a lot of thins that arenīt completed, i will update them when i complete them.
The Graphics will be like the CT ones, a lot of new tilesets and sprites have to be created so, if anyone wants to help in this area, (or in any other area, especialy Ruby language scripting) send me a PM.
The music will be triggerīs and maybe some cross music too.
Sugestions, Critics and insults are welcome.
PD: English its not my language so there may be some gramatic or orthographic errors.

Sounds nice. I like the name Bork lol.

Made me think of the Sweedish Chef. A shame the name was unintentional in this case!

Sounds interesting. RPGMaker XP is evil to use, though >_<

RPG Maker XP is a truly outstanding program! I've been waiting through three versions of RPG Maker for one to have both a) the legality, and b) the functionality that RPGMXP now offers. None of the homemade competitors come close in both ease of use and power. This software brings game creation to the masses!

I Have finished like 90% of the 1050 AD Overworld map (90% because i might add some stuff ore change some other little things), here are two screenshots (Each nation have different roof colors, Guardia is green and Blue, Medina is Orange an Purple, Choras is Orange and Dark Red and Porre is Gray and Black)
A screenshot showing Choras, a part of Medina and the little town of Melchior:

map is looking very good. but i think you shouldn't have used the original tiles of CT. it became too classic. if it's gonna be a new game, i would have used more good-looking 2d tiles - or 3d. :wink:
-
Iīm gonna use the classic CT tiles, but they will only be classic in 1050 AD. The other epochs will have new tiles, based on the original CTs. And I like to keep a style in tilesets, the other tilesets that are for download or the RTP tilesets, differ too much one from another. Also, itīs better to modify CT tilesets cause they are easier to modify (less resolution) :P.
-
I have updated the epoch descriptions and the character description. Here is a sprite of Idil i made:
(http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/9575/idilwu3.png) (http://imageshack.us)
I Havenīt made the walking sprites yet, i used the time to finish the maps of the locations of Choras in 1000 AD, and ripping characters.
Finnaly, this is a sprite of a 1400 AD harbor.

RPG Maker? Damn am I the only one who loves the TF?
-
Is that a guy or a girl O_o
-
Its supposed to be guy, but if he looks like a girl, iīll have to make some changes :?
-
Yeah he does look like a girl a bit O_o. I don't wanna sound like an over analyst or an asshole, but you should try to spice up the outfit. Like give more designs on the outfit and stuff maybe use different hair >_>. The 2300 AD Dome man (the dude that looks poor w/e)'s hair should look good on him if you change a few pixels on it.
-
I changed some little pixels. How does he looks like now?, should i change the hair?
(http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/7742/idilgi2.png) (http://imageshack.us)
-
The hair definately needs to be changed...
-
This is a picture of the new Idil.
(http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/5015/idil3cb9.png) (http://imageshack.us)
I think, thats better, it doesnīt look like a woman anymore, isnīt it?
-
That looks better. The outfit needs a little bit of tweaking to make it look better.
-
It looks like a russian military uniform from WWII. Try to make it unique.
-
Here's a speculation of my point of view of what he should look like.
(http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/5299/ibilforsomeonejv6.png) I didn't even bother working on the shoes or legs. I was bored and I just woke up so yeah =/
-
O.o!, thatīs a good sprite (At least compared to mine). Well, i have taken some parts (If not all) of your sprite, and merge it a little whit i had in mind. So, after a long plastic cirgury, here its another Idil:
(http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/8165/idiliox3.png) (http://imageshack.us)
The only problem is that, i kind of see him a little fat for my taste. (I think its my crappy coloring in the pants). I really need some classes about spriting :?
-
That's good. Just the arms don't seem right. The rest is good :P Love the new coloring on the shirt

I Have been working in the title menu of the game (Its made in Ruby, not in events). Before this Menu i would like to put an intro video like the one in CT, but that will be when i have finished making the game itself. Here is a pic of the title menu, some things donīt work yet (The New game+ and the load slots, that parts are the hard ones. The window skin will be changed.).
(http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/104/menutp8.th.png) (http://img59.imageshack.us/my.php?image=menutp8.png)
And a pic of the last version of Idil (He came back to what i was, and was tweaked):
(http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/5628/idilge5.png) (http://imageshack.us)
-
I like the style of your save/load menu... Kinda nostalgic. And your lastest sprite of Idil is much better than your last sprite.
-
Here is a picture of the ingame Menu :
(http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/396/menu2mw1.th.png) (http://img218.imageshack.us/my.php?image=menu2mw1.png)
Iīm not very happy whit that skin, i have to perfect it. In this moment i am trying to figure out how to make things like load and save, equipement windows, tech window and stuff. But this is how the menu will look like.
And a picture of Orson and Bork:
(http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/9559/orsonrn0.png) (http://imageshack.us) (Orson)
(http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/8781/borkxv7.png) (http://imageshack.us) (Bork)
-
Idil looks like he's superman
-
I have finished the 90% of the Title Menu :D. The only thing that has to be done is the New Game +, but thatīs something i will make after i finish the game. This is a picture of it.
(http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/5886/menufp4.png)
Also, when i finish this title menu and the in-game menu, and maybe some other mechanisms, i will release the script for public use, so anyone an make a chrono trigger game in rpgmakerxp.
And if there is someone that wants to help spriting or composing music, the help would be welcome.
-
Nice big Red X for the picture XD
-
I donīt know why you donīt see it :?. I make a change, to link the picture itself, whitout the imageshak url. do you see it now?
-
Do you see it now? Good.
Sry had to do that XD. Yes, I see it now. Looks quite nice
-
Kano, that's really impressive. Continue with your good work!
-
Your starting HP & MP is kinda big for a level 1 character. By any chance it's a 5 digit HP?
-
Those Hp and Mp, are not the ones i will use. I haven made the stats for the characters yet. That picture is only to show the menu, pay no mind to hp and mp (The max hp in the game will be 999 and the max mp wil be 99).

This looks awsome!
EDIT:
Will this game include El Nido?
-
Will this game include El Nido?
No. As i said in the first page, i will not use very much things from Chrono cross (god, i hate that game!), only some things that i find interesting (The fall of Guardia, the frozen flame are two things that will be there, but i donīt think that anithing more will be in the game).
And, for those interested in this sequel, i have been very busy this last month so i havenīt advanced very much in the game. I am making the menu (status, item, save and stuff like that), there are now 470 code lines and i havenīt even finished the status menu (i think that whit like 2000 code lines, the menu will be ready). And i still need someone to help me whit the graphics (i am stuck there). So Maybe an update (some screenshots and maybe more characters) will be posted in some more months.
-
I want to play it!!! Where I can download it from? Link, please!
-
There is no download, because its not finished. It will be finished in a lot more time, so, be patient.
-
Good look, comrade Kano!
P.S. When you finish, I can try translate it to russian language (I translate original CT now).

That would be cool.
Here its a picture of Elsen, anyway iīm not very happy whit his hair, what do you think?
(http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/4552/elsenrb2.png) (http://imageshack.us)
-
I think his hair is awesome, but that's just my opinion. :D
-
you think it would be cool if he was wearing a sheild. kinda like Glenn except bigger.
-

Nah, a sheathed sword at his side (Crono-style) would be more reminiscent of an RPG protagonist.
-
I was thinking of that he should have a sword and a shield in his back, that way it can be a little more original. The hair will be kept that way. Now i shall begin whit Doln
-
The hair needs to be changed but the rest looks pretty good.
-
(http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/4552/elsenrb2.png) (http://imageshack.us)
That looks awesome :D The hair looks a bit like Cronos.

Yes, his hair its based on Cronoīs hair. The thing is that i wanted a hair like Crono, but whitout the bandana. Aniway as i said, iīm not happy whit it, it migth be changed, when another idea for the hair comes to my mind.
Also, i made some changes to Bork, which one is better:
(http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/8781/borkxv7.png) (http://imageshack.us) (1st version)
or
(http://img282.imageshack.us/img282/2945/bork2ra1.png) (http://imageshack.us) (2nd version)
-
The 2nd one, in my opinion.
-
I agree. The vest works for him.
-
This looks awesome, can't wait to try it out once its done
-
2nd version looks the best.
-
The second Bork will stay then.
Any idea for another haircut for Elsen?
-
Make his hair long & tied it in a pony tail manner. Have him wear a brown trenchcoat of a sort to complement his hairstyle. His overall looks is similar to Yondaime(4th Hokage of Naruto.)
Having him wear a armor suit is kinda cliche... It's too common for a warrior prince. So what do think?
-
Iīm quite happy whit the clothes that he has, i know is kind of cliche, but i will keep that clothes for him, maybe iīll retouch them a little but the idea will be the same. The Idea of the characterīs appearance is fine, so i think iīll keep that look for him, until i start doing the walking animations (were iīll do some tweaking to all characters). Iīll concentrate in programing now.

I opened a forum about this sequel, here is the link: http://z8.invisionfree.com/Chrono_Lapsus/index.php (http://z8.invisionfree.com/Chrono_Lapsus/index.php)
