Kajar Laboratories / Chrono Trigger Flash Series
« on: July 28, 2005, 05:42:19 pm »
In the Chrono Trigger 10 Year Anniversary Thread, I brought up an idea that seems to be getting support: a series of Flash movies telling the Chrono Trigger story, using the game's graphics (and possibly including brief cutscenes, if time and resources allow) and incorporating voice acting instead of text dialogue, with Chrono Symphonic as the soundtrack.
The basic idea is that we would release 1 "chapter" of Chrono Trigger at a time, so the first episode would be "The Millennial Fair." We would progress continually, telling the story in an almost Red-Vs-Blue fashion. How often these episodes would be released remains to be seen. That'll depend on the number of Flash animators we can get, and their respective skills.
Hopefully we can get organized and release the first episode by the time of Chrono Symphonic's release, which should help advertise Symphonic. If I remember correctly, I *THINK* Symphonic is supposed to release on September 29th? The exact day of the 10-year anniversary, although some think it may be August 22nd. Either way, whatever. A simultaneous release would be awesome if we can pull it off.
So THIS is the thread for organizing the project!
We need at least 1 Flash animator,
1 person to help in the beginning with ripping sprites from the game (and I mean EVERY animation of EVERY sprite), along with the relatively brief task of extracting maps from the game, probably via Temporal Flux.
Several voice actors and actresses,
A couple of writers to expand the script a bit and make things a little more conversational (Example: What would Crono & Co say to each other when they behold Zeal for the first time?)
For starters, that Flash animator is the most important deal right now! Please talk to animators that you know and if they love Chrono Trigger, see if they'd be interested in working with this.
Hopefully soon after that, we'll be able to begin casting, while the writing will be taken care of simultaneously.

Kajar Laboratories / The latest from CuteLucca: Realistic Schala ^_^
« on: July 28, 2005, 01:00:14 am »
Hey, I posted this in the "Chrono Dream" thread in General since I had talked there earlier about a piece I'm commissioning CuteLucca for...but I thought I'd show y'all here too, so more people can revel in CuteLucca's artistic glory! ^_^
July 27th - http://www.cutelucca.com/wips/schalasketch2.jpg
I'll update this post as I get more updated images, and we'll see this one slowly take shape as it nears completion. I think she told me it would take about two weeks to totally finish.
And she says that's a dandelion Schala's holding, in case you can't tell.

Kajar Laboratories / Question on character-locking/unlocking
« on: July 23, 2005, 08:31:15 pm »
I looked at the part where Ayla joins you for the first time, and it locks her in so you can't exchange her... But for the life of me, I couldn't find the command or series of commands that locks her! For that matter, I also can't find the series of commands that locks Crono either. Can anyone tell me how to use these so I can lock and unlock characters?

Chrono / Gameplay Casual Discussion / What did Gaspar mean by this?
« on: July 23, 2005, 03:05:47 am »
OLD MAN: One of you is close to
someone who needs help...
Find this person...fast.
Just as you touch the lives of every
life form you meet, so, too, will their
energy strengthen you.
Fail to live up to your potential, and
you will never win...
I am sorry that I must simply
witness the coming spectacle from
my vantage point here...
OK, my guess that he's talking Schala at the start, but seeing how there's no way to "find" her, that's pretty much pointless. Thoughts?
EDIT: Going back to the text, I noticed that the next line in the programming is:
OLD MAN: That poor woman can finally
rest, now that the Black Omen is
gone.
She's reverted back to a human...
Now it is time for you to access the
Gate contained within that bucket!
You fight not just for yourselves, but
for all living things...
This is a battle between Lavos and
the entire world!
Now THAT line is obviously referring to Queen Zeal... Was this what Gaspar meant in the first line?

General Discussion / I just had the weirdest idea for a video game
« on: July 20, 2005, 10:15:53 pm »
I just had the weirdest idea for a video game... And not an RPG either. A sports game, but a totally new sport. 
Any of you work in a warehouse with motorized pallet jacks? I'd never seen any jacks other than the little hand-operated variety until last November. So if like me, you haven't seen a motorized pallet jack before, it looks like this.
You ride on the end with the lever and use it to steer... The forks drag behind you, and you can do some fairly interesting, tight maneuvers with these things if you're good enough.
Anyway, I guess I just found myself wondering how it might look to control one of those things in a game... I can just see some setting in an abandoned warehouse and you're doing like "bumper jacks" or something and supposed to knock other guys off their jacks, etc... Would be pretty original for a sport, and would make for interesting control.
LOL...anyway, am I nuts? Hehe...

General Discussion / CT Remake? Good news...
« on: July 16, 2005, 02:38:52 pm »
Hi everyone, I thought I'd bring you some good news for those who've supported the Chrono Trigger remake projects and have wanted a remake.
I spoke with Square Enix recently about having them do a CT remake. (At this point I was unaware that several remake projects had already been attempted and shut down.) I could tell the CSR had his boss standing right there by how slowly he responded to some very simple questions, and I also documented the conversation. Go here, then click on the "Launching the campaign" thread for details and the transcript of my conversation with them.
As I discussed with Square Enix, I am beginning a petition to have them produce a Chrono Trigger remake. (You can also view the petition itself at the above link.) In order to sign it, simply send an email to petition@vizzed.com with your first and last name. Zeality and I are also planning to incorporate a way to do physical letters for this as well, since internet petitions carry only a fraction of the weight and influence as a flood of letters into the office! I'd suggest bookmarking the above site and stay tuned there for details. We are striving for the highest degree of professionalism in this operation, and want a *LOT* of signatures to this thing!
As you'll see on the petition, we also included a bit about releasing Seiken Densetsu 3/Secret Of Mana 2, but if the CT thing ends up being more popular (as I suspect it will), we may nix the SoM2 request. We'll have to wait and see on that. Please let others know about this... If Square won't let its FANS do a project like this, let's MAKE THEM do it!

Characters, Plot, and Themes / Schala and Lavos
« on: July 12, 2005, 04:24:28 pm »
I was reading some people's theories on Schala... I'm sure there's a hole in this one somewhere but here's what first struck me when I beat Chrono Cross. See what you think.
We know Schala was immensely powerful... More so than Zeal herself. (And we know what a pain in the butt Zeal was!) It's also been asserted that time doesn't flow inside Lavos' pocket dimension, but only time-error... Thus, Schala didn't age. But what really hit me was the simple fact that she was still alive in 1020 AD!
Think about it... Lavos couldn't have merged with her without a fight. And according to CC, "half of her mind" was corrupted by Lavos while the other half remained pure and intact. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it makes Schala seem almost godlike. See, my thought is that as a result of Lavos being woken up in 12000 BC, he would have destroyed the world right then. But when Crono and the others left, there was nothing left for Schala to do but fight. It kind of makes me think Lavos was preoccupied by fighting Schala...and that he didn't actually finish overtaking her until 1999 AD, when she finally gave in and died.
Anyway, I just found it interesting to think of Lavos and Schala going at it for 13000 years, until eventually it came to a near stalemate as they couldn't even attack each other, but simply press their wills against one another. I'm sure there's a hole in this somewhere, but what are your thoughts and reactions to this?

Fan Fiction / CT - Opening - a sample of my writing :P
« on: July 12, 2005, 02:14:31 pm »
I asked Zeality if I could be part of Project Zeal, so he added me to that group... So in sort of an effort to "prove myself," I threw together an opening of how I would envision a Chrono Trigger book to begin. (Note also that I put this together in about an hour, at work, in the middle of other stuff. 
) Just a rough draft, I would definitely polish it some more before I call it the "final version." Hope you like it. My commentary follows...
Spreading his arms wide, Crono soared through the blue skies like the heroes of great faerie tales of old. He flipped and zigzagged from cloud to cloud as though he was surfing the waves of a great sea. As he looked ahead to further plan his flight path, a glint in the distance caught his eye.
Making his way toward it, he felt a sensation like nothing he could imagine. So this is what adventure feels like, he thought. His heart leapt in excitement as he darted through the clouds and the source of that shining light came into view.
A city stood upon a small island landmass, hovering in serenity above the earth, forgotten far below. At the highest point of the island stood a palace sculpted entirely of some beautiful stone Crono couldn’t identify. He guessed this to be what had caused the sun to reflect into his eye. The palace’s delicate spires jutted gently into the air, a pale blue color that stood vividly even against the bright blue sky of the day. As Crono circled the land, his eyes ever on the palace, he became more entranced by it. At different angles, the sun’s rays made the deep blue turn a bold red.
Drawn by his curiosity, Crono descended to the island. On his approach, he noticed other magnificent structures upon the island, but none as beautiful as the palace at the land’s peak. Crono’s feet touched the ground as he stared in awe at this enormous piece of fantastical architecture.
Almost instantly when his feet touched the ground, the landscape changed. Gone was the island he stood on, now replaced by a swirling blue beneath his feet. The colors churning under him, Crono avoided looking down. Looking up, he felt his heart leap into his throat. Terror gripped him. His legs trembled. Here stood another palace, greater than the first, but this monstrous structure was horrifying instead of soothing.
Like a giant bowl turned upside down, it sported ghastly green spikes of some emerald-like substance. Crono fell into a daze. Were those spikes moving? They seemed to shift in place along with the spinning blue under his feet.
Crono fell backward as a fell blast of wind struck him, coming from the direction of the evil stronghold. As Crono got up and looked toward it again, the terror overwhelmed him as he came to a dispiriting realization.
Wait a minute, he thought. That’s a mouth in front of this building! It’s not a building... It’s a beast.
As if responding to Crono’s thought, the monstrosity opened its mouth wide and roared. Crono fell to his knees, slamming his ears shut with both hands. But nothing could keep that horrible noise out. He felt his stomach lurch as he was forced to listen. It was like the sound of a thousand castles collapsing upon each other, shaking everything nearby. The sound ripped through Crono, pulsating viciously from the mouth. Crono screamed in pain, feeling his eardrums burst. He collapsed to the ground.
“Crono...” came a weak voice nearby as the creature’s howl died down. As he lay on the ground, he opened his eyes to see the forms of several other people nearby, all prostrate on the ground as he was. The voice had come from a young woman lying on her chest, her blond hair scattered about her as she struggled to sit up. With one hand she reached toward Crono, screaming his name again. As she did so, blood ran from her mouth. Cuts dotted her forehead and the blood had sopped into some of her hair. Her arm was a mess of red, her clothes were tattered, and Crono knew the look in her eyes. He had seen it in many helpless animals before.
She was dying.
“Cro...” Her voice cracked as she said it, and she coughed up more blood.
He closed his eyes, forcing himself to push himself up with his arms, and put his feet beneath him. Standing again before the dark castle of a beast, he glared into its open mouth, where he saw an eye watching him.
Crono looked back at the young woman, and then returned his gaze to the monster. Without knowing what he was doing, he felt his left hand extend toward the creature and his mouth formed words without his permission. “Take me,” he said.
The creature blinked. Crono felt that it had understood his offer, although he himself did not. Moments later, a beam of light shot out from the eye and struck him in the chest. As he fell backward, he heard one last scream from the mysterious woman. “Crono!”
* * *
“Crono!” A hand gently shook his shoulder.
“Wh-wha-?” Crono blinked his eyes, rubbing his forehead as he turned over in bed.
“Crono, I’ve been yelling at you from downstairs for the last five minutes!” his mom exclaimed, putting her hands on her hips. “Really, I don’t know why you always stay out so late!”
Sitting up in bed, Crono rubbed his eyes and ran his hand through his hair. The thoughts of his dream immediately rushed back into his head. His mother stood next to his bed, still watching him.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, her tone softening. Her hands still on her hips, she leaned down to scrutinize him at eye level. “You look even more tired than usual. Are you okay?”
“Ugh... I think so,” he moaned, still groggy. “I just...”
His mother interrupted as he was about to tell her about the dream. “You were just so excited about the fair that you didn’t sleep well, did you?”
“Hmm? Oh, the fair!” Crono tore out of bed, unwittingly taking the covers halfway across the room with him, and made for the closet. His heart raced in excitement as he picked out a blue tunic made of tough animal hide, and tied his favorite bandanna around his forehead.
“Mom, have you seen my sword?” he called out.
His mother’s voice came from downstairs. “Why do you need that old thing? You’re not planning any trouble, are you?”
“Lucca has some new battle machine on exhibit! Remember? I’ve told you about Gato.”
“Oh, yes! Well, your sword... Hmm...”
Crono made his way down the stairs, strapping a leather belt around his tunic. His mother stood at the stove, tapping one finger against her chin, her eyes staring blankly at the oak tree outside the window. The smell of eggs and bacon invaded Crono’s nostrils as he waited impatiently for her answer.
“I think I threw it in the...”
Crono didn’t need the rest of the answer. He was already out the door and opening the garbage can next to the front door. He immediately spied his wooden katana sticking out of the garbage, and lifted it gingerly out of the can.
His mother leaned out the door as Crono tapped the sword against the soft green grass a few times, shaking off the scraps of fruit peels. “Crono, don’t fight that thing yet, okay? Just go and say hi to Lucca, and then come back soon, and bring her too! I’m making breakfast for you both. Then once you’ve had a healthy breakfast, you can beat that thing up as much as she’ll let you!”
Crono responded with a thumbs-up as he sprinted off toward the Millennial Fair, attaching his sword to his belt as he went.
OK, so obviously the beginning is a dream... Crono starts by having a dream like we all do...we all dream we can fly. This kind of helps to convey his personality (since the game gives him no persona), which I would polish up some more by adding to the sense of joy he's feeling while flying. The island is Zeal, and he lands before Zeal Palace. The palace transforms into Lavos, the island turns into the blue vortex or pocket dimension around Lavos...
The idea behind his confusion about saying "Take me" is that he doesn't know why he's offering himself to Lavos as a sacrifice. I've had dreams like this before myself where I don't know WHY I feel a certain way about something, but I just do. He knows subconsciously that he loves this girl (who is obviously Marle), and you get the idea now.
Anyway, hope y'all liked it... Let me know your thoughts.
