Alrighty. At the moment I am enhancing Medina Square (expanding the size of it and moving everything).. as well as adding the cut-scene.

The cut-scene should only happen once, unless Frog is in the party, he will say his line and you'll get booted out of Medina Square once again.
Good idea.

What other maps will be added in the public beta? I know you were setting some aside but what were already completed?

Truce Canyon is now 2x (it's a verticle map).

Cursed Woods will be done (I'll add the Frog King battle)

Medina Square (though you won't be able to enter it until after Ozzie)

Magic Cave will be Heckran Caves with a different set of monsters. (skeletons and bats)

Much like the Mystic Mountains.

Oh goodie. That ought to be fun.

Until after seeing Ozzie at Zenan Bridge, correct?

Oh, goodie again.

Medina Square will have the people chanting, you will see the cutscene and get booted out.
If you re-enter there will be people guarding the entrance, they taunt you for being human and such but won't let you through.

(this later stuff won't be added till later on)
After Magus it will be people worshipping Ozzie, you can enter the Square but no one will be nice to you (no battles though because it's a shrine -- though maybe a battle on Ozzie's shrine would be an honor to him?)

After Ozzie, the Square will eventually upgrade to a mini-fair, like Leene Square only on a much tinier scale. There will be mini-games here that aren't at the Millennial Fair (if I can think of some mini-games).

They wouldn't defile the shrine themselves by battling, though I do suggest we develop a hostility meter of sorts...the more you stay there the more hostile they become until they decide to kill you anyway.

And if you can't, we can always put another slot machine and a blackjack table here...maybe poker...

I want to do Poker, but I would be very hard with textboxes. Unless we can get some kind of nifty text overlay on the screen seperate of the textboxes. I would also like to add "Rumee" and "31".

I was thinking that Medina could be for Gil instead of Silver Points.

Aye, aye...then just blackjack.

Great idea. We turn it into a gambling game corner for all sorts of cash!

Well slots and BlackJack for Gil for sure.

Blackjack:

500 Gil
1000 Gil
5000 Gil
(win a fortune or lose it all!)

Slots: (10 Gil per pull)
{note}{note}{note} 1000 Gil
{heart}{heart}{heart} 5000 Gil
-BAR- -BAR- -BAR- 10000 Gil
7 7 7 100,000 Gil (extremely rare)

Good idea.

I do have a minor issue with the slot machine though...it acts too much like a real life slot machine in that it rarely lands on three of the same symbol.

It does need massive tweaking... It's much better than it used to be though.

Well, I'm sure you'll be able to fix it.

Oh, on another note, have you noticed how Justin3009 has been adding some nice new characters to the naming screen? I was wondering if, when we have time, we could toss together a whole bunch of those (you know, letter pairs like ai, le, ch, ect ect) and add them in. That way people could, among other things, finally name Crono Chrono if they wished, and we wouldn't have to actually extend the character limit.

Oh yes, also there is a game that appears where the Old man and lunch where before the Trial.

It is guess the card! 20 SP to play!

pick choice 1,2 or 3 and one of them is a {heart} the other two are something else.

if you are correct your SP amount doubles, you can keep going as much as you want but if you lose, you lose everything you have bet.

Yeah, it's hard to come up with stuff that can be done with the CT engine.
This mini-game concept just hit me a few minutes ago, should be very easy to add.
