[neo-fusion]

Yes, thats right! The first screenshot of Chrono Trigger Apocalypse Episode VI has arrived. It is only a teaser of things to come. I am definetley not releasing much on this one folks. Only a select few will get to see.

Read the full blog on this one here: http://ultrapublications.com/flash/cta/index.html

EDIT: The Blog is currently experiencing technical difficulties, sorry. It will be up and current soon.

EDIT 2: The Blog should be working now, contact me if you don't see the screenshot.

It's a development thing...

Not bad! Are you drawing these in Photoshop, or what software are you using?

[neo-fusion]

Line and circle tool in flash. I am using gradients as well. Yes I know I am a caveman.

[Dunce]

This is going to be epic. Any characters that you are willing to show off?

[neo-fusion]

To be honest I haven't drawn any yet. I am deciding to do all my scenes first. As those will be the most time consuming (I hope...) and will probably be my best works.

[neo-fusion]

Allo There End of Time... yep it's done

I will say now that if I was to add all of the tiny tiny detail, it may make the program lag. This is a VERY large setting and with all of the current detail I may even have to take some more of it out.

We will see though.

[FaustWolf]

Whoa, this is going to be interesting.

[neo-fusion]

I'm going to take that as a "Yes that is nice" thing.

I think thats what you ment. I hope lol.

[neo-fusion]

Yes I know, I was doing scenery first... well I wanted to do a character to make sure that I had a chance at making this thing right before it would blow up in my face... anyway, I think I have a fair chance at making this work.

[FaustWolf]

Yeah, this looks formidable. Everything being hand-drawn will definitely work in your favor I think, since we're all used to seeing the sprites a zillion times over.

[neo-fusion]

I actually got a TON of progress done tonight. I can see why every other hand drawn artist who is making true quality work takes so long to produce.

This is tiring work and I hope I can keep up my motivation!

It all looks great right now and hopefully it will continue.

Very cool stuff, man. Gaspar lacks shading and depth, but I really like the direction all this is going.

[neo-fusion]

I understand that gaspar lacks shading and depth and I have gone into this knowing well that I won't have either. Using the line, circle, rectangle, and gradient tools seems archaic compared to what a tablet could do for me. If I had a tablet I would be making these much more detailed, but it works for now.
