Kajar Laboratories / 20th Anniversary Project
« on: July 03, 2014, 03:22:34 am »
I know the compendium hasn't been very active as of late but we have a little less than a year before the 20th Anniversary of Chrono Trigger! I think we could all- (or at least a lot of us) could come together and produce something! Kajar Labs may have been 'raped' by the C&D in 2009 but it's not dead.
I'm not sure if it should be more like Dream splash where many of us produce products from our own talents (fanart, music, fiction writing etc)
Or if we should all come together and push our talents for one single goal. (or whoever is out there lurking. I know you're lurking.)
I vote we all come together and produce - well- something XD
So lets brainstorm.
I'll go first: I'm good at spriteing, painting, and mapping. (and a novice writer)
We need: Writers, artists, those talented with music (composers? - dammit music is not my forte people - but i do respect you!), perhaps those good with scripts and code, maybe animators? whatever your talents are - 3D modelers (lets re-design the characters) ,a leader (someone to keep us on course) And more! And some ideas all around.
We could produce:
A work of fiction (novel size?) where we all come together to write, produce ideas, provide fanart for said fiction, provide music for said fiction, etc. (i'll even sprite the main characters) - basically a big mesh of all our talents around the same storyline.
A small/short fan game. (i'll be honest it'd be a miracle to finish a full-fledged fan game of 20 hours plus game play in less than year but its not impossible with the hands of many. - An engine must be agreed upon. - But a small game? Definitely do-able.
A work of flash/ animation (small movie?)
And more that i can't think of right now!

Dream Splash V - Middle Ages [2012] / Tata Sprites and miscellaneous things
« on: January 01, 2013, 04:21:46 pm »
In the back of my mind I have a Chrono game partly fleshed out with characters and tricky plot devices and story building and all those wonderful things. One day I might even write the bulk of these ideas out and make some progress. But I decided to at least where the middle ages are concerned share and enter some ideas into Dream Splash! (and the sprites I have for them)
Tata though not the main character of the tale is an important one. My original concept of him involved a more mature version than the character I view him as today.
Tata heirs from 610 A.D. He's in his late teens and originally he had learned from his mistakes, was brave and was working to become a knight. The first is Tata pre-Knight than Tata as a Knight, than an older Tata as Knight Captain.
Unfortunately for Tata I realized he had a lot of growing up still to do.
Tata became what I like to call the 'Marle' of my story line. He has an innocent and maybe sometimes naive view of the world. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. When Marle found out Lavos destroyed the world she was the one who got the most upset and declared that they were going to be the ones to fix it. That's how Tata effects the story. He has a strong moral sense of right and wrong. He has that quality about him that everyone deserves a second chance, there's good in the world, they can do the impossible etc.
Unfortunately for Tata in my story he's also sort of a blundering idiot. He's clumsy, gets the party into trouble ('what does this button do') and can be quite cowardly. The adventure he goes through however may just mold him into the brave young man who will one day become knight captain.
Full Name: Tata
Age: Late Teens
Species:Human
Home Time: 610 A.D.
Home Area: Porre
Weapon Type: Shield
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 141 lbs.
Build: Average
Hand: Right-handed
Magical Element:Lightning
Tata doesn't deserve pants until he can lift his broadsword.
Tata fights with his shield though it took some experimentation (blundering idiot remember?):
He got it right the second time!
Yeah i'm too mean to poor Tata!
Storyline (or at least what im willing to share):
1005 A.D. The fall of Guardia. The main protagonist Pike is a soldier and one of many in the Porre army. The game starts out as Pike is assigned a small errand for his commanding officer giving the player a chance to explore 1005 A.D. prior to its fall. Once the task is completed you are given two other brief party members fellow soldiers and you storm Guardia Castle. Once you make your way to the throne room Dalton is already there fighting Crono and Marle. Your forced to join in the fight while Dalton fleas to retrieve the masamune no doubt. You and your fellow soldiers fail miserably to defeat Marle and Crono. As the castle starts to shake and crumble around Pike and as he tries to stand up gates start to appear. Crono and Marle dissapear and another one swallows Pike up whole. When Pike wakes up he's in a very different Guardia. 610 A.D. One where Porre and Truce are completely united it only being ten years after the war with the mystics. He runs into Tata who's on his way to join the Guardia knights to become a squire who's been ambushed by mystics. Pike saves him and that's how the two join up.
The gist of the game again without spilling to many details is that the original cast from Chrono Trigger are painted as the bad guys. Due to Dalton's influence Pike believes the original cast destroyed millions of potential lives in there quest to re-write time. (which may be true). Tata in a way keeps Pike grounded. He's something that reminds Pike of his values when Pike ventures towards the deep end.
Also the gates aren't like the ones in Chrono Trigger. There more like the gate that appeared to Lucca. They don't lead to matching times (not like 600 AD to 1000 A.D 2300) More like 1005 A.D, 610 A.D. 2340 A.D. 15345 B.C. etc None of the years particularly match which is sporadic and unusual and for a good reason Another character worth mentioning since it's the middle ages is a character hailing from 585 A.D.
Teen Magus
I wanted him to look somewhere between Magus and Janus and I'm not entirely sure if I succeeded or not.
Pertaining to Tata and 610 A.D. I decided it would be winter. So not only do the gates transport the player to a rather random time it also transports them to different sections of the year. So I started working on a map:
Oh and just for fun an alternative version of teen Tata that I decided to go against:
*** this is not an actively worked on fangame to avoid confusion. Yes I have graphics but its more of what I do in my spare time. Like I said I haven't actually written any of the plot down- its all in my head Not saying it will never be made into a game just that right now its just some ideas I have and some pretty pictures.

Magic, Elements, and Technology / Zeal's Clones
« on: August 04, 2012, 12:36:02 am »
I was sitting here trying to remember whether or not their was a clone for Magus. In the black omen I believe in tubes there are clones of the party eerily floating if memory serves correctly. I knew that Zeal had cloned Crono, Marle, Lucca, Frog, Ayla and Robo and then I thought; wait clones are organic. Aren't they? Robo is not organic. So that makes me question the nature of the Zeal clones. When I think of cloning I think of DNA, biology both organic. Because Robo is not organic Zeal's method of creating clones is not organic in nature, or at least not completely organic. What methods did Zeal use to create clones? Are they merely dolls much like Bekkler's? Or were they aware living creatures?
This makes me think of the mystics and their abilities. We know the mystics have the ability to take on human form from 600 A.D. The cathedral, Magus's castle, and in 1000 A.D. the chancellor. This I assume is magic in nature. Is Zeal's cloning system magic in nature as well? Still the mystics were able to transform into people the party knew such as Crono's mother, Marle's father etc. Ozzie promised 100 monsters in Magus's castle which made these few mystics cannon fodder. So I am surprised these mystics knew Crono and Marle's names and even more so the features of their parents. Magic is clearly involved if not illusions or mind reading. Are Zeal's clones merely illusions, tricks meant to frighten the team? Or are they genuine clones created by the technology Zeal possessed?

Polling / Which Chrono character has the least character development and why?
« on: October 23, 2011, 03:59:34 pm »
I'm generally curious what other people think. Who out of the seven playable character's stories are a bit lacking. I often hear Ayla for an answer but in my opinion it's Crono. I know he's the silent protagonist but he doesn't seem to change, you know, except when he died, but that seemed to show us more about Marle and the others than Crono himself. What do ya think?

Dream Splash IV - Radical Dreamers [2011] / Radical Dreamers: Character Profiles
« on: July 26, 2011, 02:12:56 am »
Do you still remember...? How we first met, and all of our adventures since... It all seems like such a dream nowadays... You were a piece of a star that fell from the sky. Whenever I want to return to those days long gone, I close my eyes and whisper your name into the evening sky...
I thought a lot about what to do for Dream Splash. I thought about a fanfic, or perhaps some sprites, but to be honest I had never played Radical Dreamers until yesterday
. I know least about RD in the Chrono series so the entry i've created is a bit of art to help me get to know the characters better and hopfully a cute short display for the rest of you!

Characters, Plot, and Themes / Kid, does she remember?
« on: March 25, 2011, 01:56:30 am »
after the events of Chrono Cross, assuming Schala and Kid did not merge, does Kid remember anything and if so, what? I figured she didn't but I just want to be sure, working on a fanfic I read the chrono cross resolutions but i'm still not sure xD

Chrono Compendium Discussion / Is there going to be a winter contest?
« on: January 17, 2011, 12:06:20 pm »
Just curious, I know everyones been busy lately, ( I sure have XD) but I was wondering if there is going to be a winter contest this year? I know there have been winter events in the past and we have many entries for dream splash 2010 so I hope that if we were to do a winter contest it would get many entries. If not i'll just wait until the spring one

Time, Space, and Dimensions / The Original Time Line
« on: September 30, 2010, 04:15:38 am »
This is one of those moments where i've stayed up way to late and its 3 am in the morning and im thinking about time travel and dimension crossing, this, is never a good mix. So i'm going to get this out before I completely forget by the time I wake up in the morning:
In the original time line, with out our heroes interferance, there are some questions that trouble me such as, what happened to Magus? And Zeal obviously still fell, so Schala probably escaped since she didn't waste her energy on saving the team.
It is assumed, that Magus died. He would have completed the spell, summoned Lavos correctly, never gone back in time as the prophet, etc. Lavos obviously still lived so its asumed he killed Magus. So, if Lavos had killed Magus, Frog would revert back to his human form. So what becomes of Glenn? He's not a known knight in guardia 1000 A.D. So where does he go?
All of that is speculation of course- i'm bouncing off track, my point is, in the original time line, things were different, Schala could have saved herself, which explains how Marle gets the pendant. But... Since Schala wasnt saved how does Marle STILL have the pendant? And how does Kid get the pendant as well? I digress. My main question is...the team changed the original time line. What happened to that time line? Does it end up in the DBT? Or does it spin off into a different dimension?
Had Schala been saved, she could have reproduced. If she reproduced, thats life that does not
exist in the new time line. So beings that are from erased time lines end up in the DBT. What happened to the beings in that original time line, are they replaced by the other version of themselves if a new dimension is not created? But what about those who do not exist in the new time? Hmmm.

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / Picture of Frog in Cross?
« on: September 09, 2010, 10:37:00 pm »
So I just over looked the pictures of the chrono team in Lucca's house:
I tried to zoom in on that green drawing and the blue, and I think it may be frog, in er, frog form. Specifically, this position of Frog:
I could be wrong, oh, and that blue-gray thing is SO a nu! maybe.

Dream Splash III - Chrono Break [2010] / Chrono Break Demo
« on: July 23, 2010, 04:53:34 pm »
Alright this is my entry for Dream Splash, it is a small fan game i've created on RPG Maker 2003. I started the game when Dream Splash first started this year, and i've ended it about an hour ago. It is a small demo, but I hope that everyone will be able to enjoy it. There are many different ways to play the game, because choices effect future game play!
Here are some pictures:

I hope you all enjoy the game, this is my idea of what Chrono Break may or may not look like.If people like it enough I may continue it as a fan game, but I will re-name it and i'll need help.Tell me what you think, also if you find any bugs or problems let me know!
