Site Updates / Chrono Trigger Unglued - Episode 24: "Those Freaky Monsters"
« on: November 12, 2014, 06:03:37 am »
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/648564

Crono and Company - while en route to Arris Dome - have to first go through Site-16, wherein Crono bumps into a "Furry Whiskered Spawn of Satan". This rude rat promptly makes off with all of Crono's precious Ethers, forcing him to chase down the vermin in order to retrieve his sweet-sweet MP restoring drugs. Unfortunately it seems that the smelly people back in the last dome they visited forgot to tell the gang a few things about this location, and Crono is now about to have a rather unpleasant run in with the undead.

***

Yeah, that took way too damn long to make... didn't it?

What have I learned? I have learned that collaborating with people can be a lot of fun, but it can also be a pure nightmare if you collaborate with too many of them all at once. I am really sorry that this took so long to make, and certain people won't ever be helping with CTU again going forward.

Anyways, here is the 24th episode - thusly keeping Cryo's dream still alive - that I hope you will all enjoy. The 25th episode - which Sunrie, of "Captain R: The Game Ranger" fame, will be helping me make - is hopefully going to be out far more quickly than this particular episode was. In fact, I think you just might find this next episode to be a "Thriller."

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / CTU Episode 24 Help Request
« on: May 18, 2014, 04:41:55 am »
I am currently working on CTU-24 again (I apologize immensely for all of the delays), and I am currently in need of someone who can draw a single panel image for the movie.

General Discussion / I started back to work on CTU-24 Tonight
« on: December 18, 2013, 02:36:41 am »
I'd ask for your awe... but in reality I should probably be begging for all of your forgiveness! This one goes out to all of the patient people everywhere for not stabbing me, not matter how much I deserved it... although maybe a little more stabbing in the future folks, and I'd forget less often. Just remember to leave me with enough blood to live. Expect more previews and progress reports as I go.

I promise to never again touch Warframe until CTU-24 is on Newgrounds, no matter how much that makes me cry and no matter how much I will undoubtedly regret saying that before I am done.

CTU'S DREAM IS NOT YET OVER!

General Discussion / Nintendo Finally Releases Official Zelda Timeline!!!
« on: December 22, 2011, 03:27:20 am »
SOURCE: http://kotaku.com/5869993/this-might-actually-be-the-official-zelda-timeline

It seems people were simultaneously right about how Ocarina of Time and how it split the timeline, and simultaneously wrong about it in a way they never could have possibly guessed. The 25th anniversary puts the order leading up to Ocarina as: Skyward Sword, Minish Cap, Four Swords, Ocarina of Time. Afterwards it has 3 branch of points, two of which are pretty much exactly what gamers always predicted. However, it's the new information that makes it all finally make so much more sense.

After link defeated Gannon at the end of Ocarina of Time he gets sent back in time, but time in that timeline continues going forward and it's that the "Hero of Time" Link is not there when that Ganon breaks back out of his sealing which causes the Goddesses to flood Hyrule in an effort to stop him. This leads into the events of Windwaker, afterwhich takes place Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks.

The Link from the end of Ocarina of Time that got sent back in time told a young Zelda what Ganon was planning and four court hylian sages, different from the 7 sages of Ocarina of Time, seal Gannon up in the Twilight Realm before most of the events of Ocarina of Time ever happen. Then this Link gets sidetracked into an alternate dimension adventure in Majora's Mask. Much later Ganon would return from the Twilight Realm in Twilight Princess. Sometime after both of these events would occur Four Swords Adventures (Which has a different plot from Four Swords).

Now comes the part no one could have ever possibly expected. In alternate set of events, Link gets to the end of Ocarina of Time AND GANNON KILLS HIM. After this various armies raise up and fight against Gannon in a century of conflict until they eventually help the the seven sages seal away Gannon in the Golden Ream (possibly not the same 7 sages, thus explaining the race issue some people have always noticed), as explained in the opening events of A Link to the Past. After the Hero of LttP kicks Gannon's ass in the Golden Realm, he goes on a series of adventures which first include the Oracle Games and eventually ends with Link's Awakening. Later a different Link would get wrapped up in the Incidents of Zelda 1 and 2 (with 1 ending with Gannon flat out losing the Triforce of power at its end).

After a year of waiting (really sorry about that, I'll explain that further down) Chrono Trigger Unglued: Episode 23 is finally here! Watch as Crono and Company discover that maybe going south wasn't the most productive of directions to travel through the raging dust storm in their quest for batteries to put in Lucca's Gate Key. They do - however - have their first encounter with the much lauded Enertron, there's just some minor issues of comfort that have to be overlooked when the device is used. Afterwards, Crono finally acquires some much needed Ether... sweet-sweet Ether!

As for why this episode took so long, my old laptop became virtually completely unusable near the beginning of this year when I found myself charged and wanting to get production on this episode done. Later when I did finally get a new laptop in March, I realized that if I didn't crank-up the writing on my book I would never get it published in time for my mom - who has cancer - to be able to see it before she died. I am glad to say I was able to get it done while she was still alive (she doesn't look so good right now, she probably won't be here much longer). After that, various other forms of delays kept stalling production such that it took 2 whole months to get the episode done after I finally began working on it.

I beg your apologies, I have sacked those responsible (including myself).

Those you who are interested in reading my 100% original book "The Vagrant's Tale" (which is heavily revised from the first draft I showed long ago, and now has 2 bonus chapters never before seen online) you can find it - in dead tree format - for sale here: http://www.amazon.com/Vagrants-Tale-Clovis-Dye-Jr/dp/1463735359/

Anyways, now that Episode 23 is out, a casting call for Dubbed Episode 3 will probably begin soon.

General Discussion / My First Published Novel, "The Vagrant's Tale"
« on: November 18, 2011, 04:29:06 am »
I have finally realized my dream of being an author with an actual physical book through the release of "The Vagrant's Tale", as well as my secondary hope that I get it all done before my mom's current cancer was able to take her. It took 2.5 years to write, and there were multiple times I didn't think I was going to pull through (I definitely fell off the writing horse more than once along the way). The ultimate key to finishing a book is to yell at yourself that you are going to sit down and write or else (being your own boss means having to be your own bad cop too).

By the way, did you know you can go quite mad rereading the same book 5 times in one summer? My first advice to anyone who's planning to publish a book is to hire an editor, this isn't something you want to be doing yourself *collapses exhaustedly*

DETIALS FROM THE BACK COVER:

"The nations of Skrande and Corsinthia clashed in a holy war for a century of conflict before the war ended. Not because their issues had ever been resolved, but because - after a century - both nations became financially bankrupt. Now charged with the care of Terus Kyreon, the son of a fallen friend, ex-soldier - Jysalef Soresh - hasn't been happy since the war drew to a standstill.

But when an important message sends him - against his desires - traipsing throughout the Corsinthian countryside, things become much more frustrating - and far more interesting - for the embittered vagrant swordsman."


BONUS FEATURES:

 - Complete pronounciation guide of all names and terms
 - Additional never before seen 16 page epilogue

Createspace: https://www.createspace.com/3627225
Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Vagrants-Tale-Clovis-Dye-Jr/dp/1463735359/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1321604288&sr=8-6

Furthermore, I'd like to take a moment to immensely thank a special CTU fan - whom wishes to remain anonymous - for helping me to be able to commision the artwork for the book's cover.

Kajar Laboratories / The CTU Creator Needs Help With Drawn Artwork
« on: June 28, 2011, 07:14:55 am »
I have been working on a fantasy novel since December of 2008, which is a wholly original endeavor not related to Chrono Trigger at all, and now that it's finally done I have run into a major problem: it doesn't have a cover. While I do have a thought out idea in my for the cover for some time now, I can't draw one for it myself as my own art is of a style utterly unsuitable for the nature of book. This is where I hope to find someone who can possibly help me with this. As it currently stands I have no job, and haven't really had one for almost a year now, so I unfortunately have no money to pay someone with. Originally a friend was going to help with this, but she miscarried twins and therefore is understandably in some extreme depression at the moment (I would wait forever on her to feel better, but my mother currently has terminal cancer I would preferrably like this to be done while she's still alive). I will be self publishing this through Amazon's createspace at very small profit per unit, and I can't even be sure I'll ever make significant future profits to pay out against (I would hope that it sells though, the test readers really seemed to like it). The person who makes this will obviously be duly credited as the artist of the cover, and be allowed to do whatever else they want to do with the final image (sell prints, etc) and solely keep everything that comes from whatever they do with the image on their own. If anyone is willing to help me, I would first need to see a sample of your artwork before we talk further.

Anyways, sorry if some of you found that title to be conceptually misleading. I definitely didn't lie, but I'm sure there was a certain implication that this isn't exactly what the request would be. However, I really needed to be sure people would look at it. If it's not appropriate to post this here, please feel free to move and/or just delete it.

Kajar Laboratories / CTU DUB Episode 2 Casting Call
« on: April 03, 2011, 05:55:14 pm »
This project aims to create a voice track version, for Youtube, of the long running flash parody series: Chrono Trigger Unglued. I am the official animator and producer of Chrono Trigger Unglued since 2005, beginning with episode 11, although the series actually began back in 2003 by Cryokenetic (even if it didn't first appear on Newgrounds itself until 2004). Our current goal is to eventually voice all 22 existant episodes, as well as future episodes. This is not a wacky voice dub, much of the acting required will need to be straight face acting (that isn't to say there's no emotion, but this universe is not self aware of its parody status unlike some comedy series online right now). It is highly reccomend you watch the series if you intend to participate. I apologize for the low quality of early episodes, it starts to pick up around episode 6. Preferably only people willing to be returning voices should apply. Submissions will be taken as name_character.mp3 to ultrapub@yahoo.com (standard recording settings, do NOT play with them). Speak up loudly and clearly, we do not want any whisperers. The current deadline is set to April 15th. We will be providing official lines to those actually cast, we will be fixing grammatical errors in the old script rather than having you read from the flash file itself (but it's still reccomended you watch it). Just because Cryo didn't care to spellcheck back then doesn't mean we're perform a "dot-dot-dot" style performance of those flubs.

Series Page: http://www.ultrapublications.com/ctu

CAST

NPC Girl (non Returning)

Entire Line Set:
- Very graceful. (said right after she sees Crono faceplant)
- No, actually, that was my… (said right after Crono asks if he had just seen her somewhere else in the fair)

(There is no target voice for this character)

NPC Vendor (non returning)

This character is a regular snake oil vendor, he is attempting to sell Crono a fork with some salad stuck on it and claiming it is in fact the legendary rainbow sword. Crono doesn't exactly buy it, but he tries anyways.

Sample Lines:
- Very well! I present to you… the legendary Rainbow Sword
- It doesn’t mean “Rainbow” like the color.
- It refers to the legendary Rainbow Shell from which the blade is forged.
- A material so rare it’s value is uncountable, nay, unimaginable!

Strength Game NPC/Pierre (Will return in Episode 10 as Crono's Lawyer, Pierre)

He is currently goading Crono in to playing his rigged game, questioning his abilities in various ways. However, the same character will later have to be used as Crono's lawyer, who's earnestly trying - and failing - to defend him in Episode 10.

Sample Lines:
- Hey there Sparky. How about a game?
- Absolutely. Unless, of course, you are an utterly weak excuse for a human being.
- No need to get huffy. You can come back once you find some balls.
- Aww, look at that. You lost.

Both the men are welcome to interpretation

NOTE: Marle might become available shortly, watch this space closely. We aren't sure if our pre-selected person can actually do it or not.

Kajar Laboratories / Chrono Trigger: Parodies (Flash Animation)
« on: March 09, 2011, 11:31:10 pm »
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/564092

Someone I've been talking to from Russia on ICQ for over half a year made this, with a lot of coaching and advice from me during that time over how to use flash (often at around 4 or 5am in the morning due to the time differential). For a first submission, ignoring some issues he has with his grasp of the English language, it's actually pretty good. I was going to post this here earlier to help him, as he's shy about writing on English forums himself, but at the time I got wrapped up in the ker-plosion the Ultra Publications forum recently had (it's since been fixed now, and registrations are re-opened).

CAST
(For the purposes of the extreme brevity of Episode 1, the casting call will include a character's ENTIRE LINES)

Crono (Every episode so far, except for 16)
Precast: Clovis15

Lucca (Episode 3, 6-9, 14-22)
Precast: Lucca
Also our Video Engineer, be sure to also check out her dub of Magical Starsign on Youtube

Crono's Mom, Gina (Episode 1, 20 and 21)

- Gina is not a psychotic mental case, even if Crono might sometimes make it sound that way, although she does have a mental issue. She carees about her son and is usually very well meaning, but she is constantly forgetting things. Actually, she has pretty much forgotten half the time that she is even forgetting things at all. I guess ignorance is often bliss. Ignore the fact that she threatens to feed Crono to the Damn Cat in Episode 1, characterizations weren't quit set in stone in Cryokenetic's head at the time (the line will be dubbed, but it's not indicative of the character's later appearances).

"Wake up Crono."
"WAKE UP CRONO!"
"WAKE UP OR I AM FEEDING YOU TO THE DAMN CAT!"
"Ah, Leene's Bells make such beautiful music."
"You were so excited about the Millenial fair that you didn't sleep well, did you?"
"By the way, that inventor friend of yours..."
"Uh, you know... Oh dear, I've forgotten her name!"
"That's right, Lucca! Don't forget that she invited you to see her new invention."
"Now here's some money, don't spend it all in one place."
"Run along now, and be back before dinner."

(Yeah, her first appearance almost entirely follows the game's SNES script)

Crono's Cat (Episode 1-3, 10-11, 16, and 21)

- Why Crono's cat one day started talking is something of a great mystery, but he seems to be one particularly foul mouthed feline that doesn't much care for his owner. As evidenced in episode 21, there might be more going on with him than Crono can possibly imagine. I am not entirely sure how I want him to sound, but he is a very angry man. Warning, you will cuss... A LOT... doing this role. Crono's Cat is definitely male.

"Bitch, just get me to Leene's Square so I can go get some fine kitty ass."
"What? Are you deaf AND dumb? Just do it, numb nuts."

ADDENDUM: Since one person got confused, I do not hate Cryo at all. He's a brilliant writer who had a wonderfully twisted way with words that no one could possibly ever match. If I sometimes seem upset with him, its because I almost never see him and that makes it very hard to collaborate with him. Although he stopped writing CTU directly, which will only begin with Episode 24, he's actually still part of the creative team. Furthermore, he's actually written every episode so far (except for Episode 15).
