Welcome to the introduction thread for our RPGMaker project. Chrono Shift is a fan-made non-profit game currently in development. It is intended to be a stand-alone game that can also serve as a prequel to the Chrono series. It takes place in the Dark Ages on the Chrono planet, fifteen years before the events of CT.
In keeping with Chrono Trigger's style with the Dream Team (and with the understanding that the developers of Shift have other things going on in their lives too) we shall be known as the Day-Dream Team:
MrBekkler: Co-Director, Co-Writer, Story Developer, Spriter, Mapper, and creator of 'The Demo'
Boo the Gentleman Caller: Co-Director, Co-Writer, Story Developer, Mapper, Quality Control
TheMage: Spriter, Mapper, Level Designer
MagusMage: Programmer, Scripter, Debugger, Mapper
Master-of-Mayhem: Mapper
LadyMarle: Character Artist
Tushantin: Scenario Artist
Tuberz McGee: Music Composer
Eluryahn: Music Composer
Jormungand: Music Composer
And the team would also like to thank:
Alfador: Quality Control and Occasional Revisions

Some features you can expect:
- Customized sprites (not all are totally original but I don’t think even a single one has gone unedited)
- An all-original, never-before-heard soundtrack
- Experience the story with an all-new playable cast (though you may recognize a few eventually)
- Contains several ties and nods to the official Chrono games
- Utilizing Atoa’s Custom Battle System with the Chrono Plug-In
- Raziel’s Chrono Custom Menu System
- All-New spells and battle animations
- 3-Person caterpillar system with 8-directional movement just like the official games
- Tons of minigames and 20+ hours of gameplay
- Multiple endings and New Game +
- All-new Alchemy item creation system
- An expanded and more diverse world to explore with more secrets than you've seen before
- Epic and meticulously-planned story that expands the mythology
Like the demo, the game will be and was always intended to be free. We would never charge for it, if you pay somebody money for it, they scammed you, get your money back.
The team continues to grow and work toward completion. Bare with us and wait patiently while we work and rather than release news updates, we’ll release a finished game.
*Disclaimer: The engine for the game has gone from the demo using 2k3 to the full game using XP. The reasons are numerous, but at the end of the day the upgrade allows us to make a better game. The decision was that simple.
