EldritchCabbit: Horrible spritework.
xZeaLitYx: yes, kid's crotch is backwards
EldritchCabbit: ...
EldritchCabbit: Sometimes, you scare me.
xZeaLitYx: it is tre

Holy ****ING CRAP!!! If this is true (I don't really doubt it, mind you), it's the damn funniest thing I've heard in a LONG DAMN TIME!!!

So...GOOD...There must be a way to greater spread this joy I feel, right? 'cradle of life'  :lol: I picture that damn stupid Tomb Raider movie and it makes it that much funnier...In an oddly disturbing sort of way that is...

Ah, joking of course. I wanted to see how much I could freak Arcane out.

Saw that awhile ago.  That site hasn't been updated in a long time though, so it's safe to assume that project has long been abandoned.

What was Radical Dreamers like?  was it similar to CT at all? I have never had a chance to play it before :(  And is it true that it has no bearing on the series now because of CC?

It's a text based game, like one of those novels in which you make decisions and turn to different pages. It now exists as an alternate universe, no longer the main continuation of Trigger.

RD was much more like CT than CC was.  RD was more of a sequel while CC was more of a new story based off of CT.  Spooky, text-based, good music, it had all it needed to.  All that and a space armament bunny.

For some reason I want to take the script for that game and create a text-based engine for it in PHP with a nice web interface that allows you to save games if you're a registered user and some nice artwork.

That would be very intersesting. Would it play the music as well? If it's legal, I think that would be a great thing for the Compendium to host, as for a long time, Radical Dreamers was a lost chapter of Chrono lore.

Technically it'd be illegal if we used any of the original graphics/music, but then again, so are any sort of fanworks. The script itself is a bit iffier, since it's been translated. I don't think Square would really care though.

The real question is whether or not I'd ever get around to doing it.

EDIT: I wrote some code, and I think it'd be pretty easy to handle the game engine in Javascript. The real issues are:
1. Creating a game creation script/program (this would be tough)
2. Create a PHP script that outputs the scene/flag/handler information as Javascript

From there, it's relatively easy to load the objects/data and start running the game. Save/loading would be easy enough using forms and PHP.

Adding music support would take some time and research though.

Once finished, someone could then use the game creation tool to port Radical Dreamers, although it'd have to be done manually and it would take some time. A conversion tool might be possible, but I'd have to take a serious look at the format used for the game's translated script.


Before I seriously try anything like this though, I need to play Radical Dreamers through a few scenarios to determine what features are necessary. Unfortunately, the sour.exe patching program won't work in Mac OS X (for obvious reasons), so I'll have to wait.
