Well, as you all know, this project has been in development for some time now, but was halted for a few months due to school work. But after a long while, we've been kicking it back into gear hugely and are trying to get a demo released as soon as possible! The date we are hopefully setting is the middle of summer or the end of it, due to all the graphics hacking, music hacking, and tech hacking that we have to do. But anyways, here's some screenshots that we have.

Also, there's an IPS patch posted. It replaces Lucca with Schala a bit. Her walking in all direction is done, and her running front is done. MUST HAVE AN UNHEADERED ROM. Feel free to leave any comments and criticism. That is all for now =)

-
looks great, don't see schala as a fire type though.
-
I never got around to changing that. I forgot where the offset was for those graphics, so just ignore those.
-
What did you do for those 6-letter names?!
-
Looks like la are in one font block. The VWF patch they're using doesn't allow extra text in menus; just in regular dialogue.
-
Too bad we don't get to see the naming screen.
He also has a screenshot with her named "Damien".
-
the % was changed to la and the # was changed to en. I really don't feel like trying to make the whole text support 6 letters ._.
-
Wait, VFW? WTF? since when is this feature possible?

I had no idea either, but Shinrin posted some screens and let me try it out. Someone at ROMHacking.net made it as a favor.
-
If your talking about font, that one was just one I made a little bit. All I did was shortened the letters by 1 pixel in width and some in height. It's really not that hard.
(http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/8828/sillusionfresh0108kg5.png)(http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/5498/fullalphabetoi7.png) - This is what the alphabet looks like when you use Tile Molester. You lower the columns until this. I think you have to change it to 2-4 bit plane. Can't remember which, but that's about it. Also remember, it's 1 straight column. Not a multitude of columns.
-
Well, I've encountered a problem. I removed the header of the ROM file with Temporal Flux, I patched the ROM with Lunar IPS. But hell, the patch didn't work, it just starts the normal Chrono Trigger. How can I overcome this problem?
-
It starts off like a normal Chrono Trigger. Lucca is changed to Schala somewhat.
-
Geez, Justin, couldn't you at least have given me a couple of hours on top of the news page with the CTNP Demo Chapters release? :p
Otherwise, nice work.
-
Sorry ><...I wanted to do an update for the past couple weeks but I forgot about it XD! Forgive me ><
-
Haha, not a problem. I'll have another update soon anyway when the contest rolls out. Just don't trump me then and all is forgiven. :)
Take care!

Erm, the fonts also doesn't change. Maybe my patcher is broken or my computer is done for?
-
No...It's only Lucca that's changed. I didn't want to release anything else besides Schala because the font is a little screwed up at the moment because some of the stuff is not alligned. Just to clarify it, IT'S NORMAL CHRONO TRIGGER! ONLY THING THAT'S CHANGED IS LUCCA TO SCHALA! XD
-
Okay, if you say so... :D Will I see the change after I start to play with Lucca? (She joins the party at 600 AD)
-
Yes. You will. If you see her at first, she's probably all blue from the palette. But when she joins you can probably see the differences.
-

So are there any dialogue differences? Are all of the sprites, battle, overworld, and out of battle replaced? Because I'm of two minds here when it comes to testing this patch as of yet.
-
No...Only the walking sprites as of now. Isn't that basically stated in the first page that it's only walking sprites....That's all, nothing else. I really don't want to release another IPS patch atm until ALL of the character sprites are done for walking. Replacing them is a little....complicated. The overworld sprites tend to corrupt the rom when I try to change them even 1 pixel so it's really starting to piss me off. I'll probably post what she has so far.
-
awsome, your project is lookin good man... keep it up
-
Great sprites Justin. You rock..! ;)
-
How do you change sprites?
-
But what happened to her long flowing dress?
-
Note, it's an Alternate Dimension. Just becasue it's in a different dimension doesn't mean she has to wear the same clothes :S And Mike, go download the Offsets.txt from the site (You can search you have eyes and two hands). Or you can check out the topic in Kajar Labs topic named "To start..." or something closely related to that.
-
We don't know when in time somebody changed schala's clothes as she was in a coma, we don't know, but it happened. she's a little embarrassed about it, but just don't bring it up at the dinner table.
Also skirts are easier to run in. go figure.
-
nobody like's to have to fight while wearing a heavy dress, if schala would of had to run in that dress she would have tripped and broken her neck, and then we'd all be screwed.
-
You know..When I think of schala and her magic type wind comes to mind.

Lulu managed just fine in FFX.
-
Schala just needs a dress made out of belts!
justin, you've added a bunch of characters other than Schala, haven't you? The progress looks amazing.
-
Every character is finalized except for 2. Alteration of color scheme on a few is just the issue. We're working on a trailer atm...so I think sometime with in a month we should have a "Prologue" released.
-
Awesome, looking forward to it!
-
looking forward to it VERY much!
(i love schala sprite work)
-
(http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/5733/chronotriggertispriteupcl8.png) - Edited the menu a slight bit. I'm very tempted to change the whole menu font to that.
(http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/6770/chronotriggertispriteupaj1.png) - How do you think it looks everyone?
-
Both screens look great to me. Is your plan to replace the "Attack / Combo / Items" font in the second screenie with the stylish font in the first status menu screen? If so, I say go for it, for consistency.

I second the recommendation; although I could see that there would be window space limitations...
Definitely looks great, though! :D
-
The fancy font I already tried. It could have actually fit in there but...the stupid hand covers up the first damn letter of the words if I move them back 1 spot...Darn thing. If it wasn't for that, I would have been using the Star Ocean font for it.
-
(http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/3156/chronotriggertispriteupmy6.png) - That's what the menu would look like with that font.
-
Looks pretty sweet. Ha! Love the fact that you got "Chrono" and "Schala" in there, and spelled correctly to boot!
-
i know... it looks GOOOOOOOD...
-
Hmm...Does the menu have it's own VWF routine? Or is it just purely based on distance apart...I hope not ._.
-
Dude, your schala sprite is awesome, I'm exteremely impressed.
-
OMG this is SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBaxo53p40Y - Just testing some stuff. You'll notice some font errors but that's because of overlapping patches.
Edit: Read the description a slight bit. Gives Vehek credit on font switching.
-
interesting...
-
Impressive, keep up the good work on those sprites, that's mind blowing how awesome they look. This looks extremely impressive, you still planning on releasing the "Prologue"?
-
I think so. If the map making goes well then I can start "trying" to code the events.

I'm swamped with senior work at the moment. As soon as it's all over I plan on working again. Sorry.
-
'Tis alright. Take your time. Life is more important then a game =p
-
I believe in you.
-
I haven't worked on this in a month. I've been busy with exams which are now over but now i've got another fan-game i'm working on that's taknig up alot of my time -.-...I'm hoping to get back into Chrono Trigger soon..I don't want this project to die ._.
-
From what I've seen so far justin, the project looks superb. Man, I can appreciate the difficulty of having to prioritize fan projects, but do what ya have to.
-
Just out of curiosity, have you announced the other (potentially and probably non-CT, which isn't a bad thing) project? The quality of your work seems quite good so I wouldn't mind checking out any other pieces you work on.

Whoa, nice sprites!
-
That look sort of chibi KOF. Is like pocket king of fighters :lol:
-
Looks really nice! I'll have to check up on this project down the road!
No, seriously.
-
I would make a topic to show screenshots and stuff but I don't think Compendium has any place for this...except maybe General Discussion.

Good Lord, you are awesome with spriting. :shock:
Seriously, great job.

Hate to bring back and old OLD dead topic, but Mystik and I have been talking again and he's really interested in working on this project again. So possibly after the Schala Project/Ultimate/8th Character, this will go back onto full force. A lot of the problems we had before are easily solvable now, so it should really easy to work with this now.

Fuck me.
Sigh, I really need to get back to work...
-
JUSTIN!
man it's been too long, glad to see the projects not dead
(i come back and half of the projects are discontinued)
keep it up man, and great work...
PS Just got done playing Soul Blazer: Illusion of Time (Gaia)
the beta version, just reminded me that i needed a little CT in my life...
oh and one little question, will you be releasing this on an expanded rom?
just wondering because I would love to make this Virtual Console game for the Wii
it's just that the 48 mb roms arent supported yet...
just got the manual/screens/rom injection and wad packing down to a "T"
keep it up, even if it takes you till im 30 years old, I still be waiting
Joemomma!
-
Only 30, huh? expect to die young?
"one among you shall shortly perish" *smirks*
-
Assuming we don't have WW3 before then or a EMP bomb knock off the grid.
-
It'll definitely be an expanded rom, there's no choice of the matter.
-
Double post. I've been working on this quite a bit as of lately. I think I might have gotten a concept artist to help out so things should flow smoothly a bit. I've also gotten a lot of ideas on how to have a around...3 minute trailer of the very first major scene of the game and maybe some overworld things. So expect something later in these few months.
-
cool! look forward to it! :D
-
(http://i42.tinypic.com/o8i977.png) - Just a really bad screeny of what to expect so far on Guile's area.
Yes, the palette is somewhat screwy, yes it is EXTREMELY bare, yes it's a concept idea. There's A LOT of things to import and fix right now, but I'm re-setting up the basics that Nightmare did on the overworld and cleaning it up a bit so we can put domes here and there.
-
Nice, I like what you've done to the map, though the bridge colors are a little wonky.
-
Yea. The palette is completely screwed up on that. I have to make a new one for the bridge/cathedral.
-
Kind of an update but I'm thinking of redoing almost all of the characters designs and stuff. Looking at the job of it, it's rather sloppy and stuff. I really think Arris and the new char are the only 2 who will have the same design, everyone else needs something different.
-
In what will be possibly my last post on the Compendium for a while...
If you want, for Schala's redesign, you could give her the outfit she'll have for the first act of my fic, Chrono:TTSOD.
*gets slapped* Ow...
http://i698.photobucket.com/albums/vv349/skylark360/Chrono-TTSODSchala1007.jpg
But seriously, if you decide you want to use it, go ahead. She gets like two other costume changes by the end of the fic anyway. I won't mind at all.
Couple of things, though. The outfit was sort of made for an older Schala in mind: In my fic, she's twenty three and has gone though one last growth spurt. I don't know if the cleavage might be too uncomfortable for you, though.
Anyway, just a thought. :)
-
that's really awesome.
