I. The Story
The Earth...
A great blue sphere marred with the scars of humanity, wounds from wars fought needlessly from era to era, dynasty to dynasty.
The Earth.
Mankind has long stared into the stars and wondered... Why are we here? What purpose do we serve? Are we a coincidence of evolution, or does fate have a greater role to play?
I had long believed that the answers to all of these questions lay locked in science, waiting to be discovered.
I have since learned that there is bliss in ignorance.
Our world was violated by a Killer in its youth. The Killer invaded the sanctity of its heart, and began to feed. We, humans, were sculpted by this Killer. The Killer tended to us as a farmer would his cattle; giving us civilization and enlightenment. It guided our art, our sciences, our societies-everything. And then, once we had grown ripe, we were harvested.
Completely spent, the world fell into ruin, rotting. Perhaps this was fate.
But there were those who chose to fight against fate, to try to build a new future. A future free of the killer, Lavos.
They traveled across time, gathering strength from all who they encountered. They were young, but their hearts were pure-they toppled the Killer, birthing a new future. However, in bringing to be a new future, they unknowingly destroyed their own.
The monster was not finished, however... It returned, with all the rage of the cosmos at its wings. Waging war on the very fabric of time that had conspired to destroy it, the monster threatened to bring our world to the brink of extinction once more.
But once again, fate brought together a party of defenders. They stepped forward to finish the fight. To end it, eternally.
In defeating the monster, one was spared a dark fate. Another, was not.
And now, one final time, fate will pull the Earth to the brink of its own existence. And a chosen few will step forward to represent humanity, and the world.
Safe and sound in his bed, a boy dreams of the future. But his dreams are becoming darkened by a growing shadow, a voice that beckons to him from a place he can't remember. Who are the shades that dance before his mind? What fate is he destined for?
In the glittering metropolises of the future, the people cry for salvation. The answer lies in the hands of a deceiver. His ambitions could bring either the end to a nightmare, or the beginning of a new and terrible dream...
A memory searches for its lost owner on a forgotten breeze. It flits between this world and the next, never remembering its name, but always recalling its sorrow. It stands now at the door of eternity, it's fate tied with the Earth's.
These are the ripples of fate in motion. Let them take us to a world of serenity.
Story Synopsis:
~~~~ A.D. 1000 ~~~~
~~~~Nadia's Bell~~~~
May our prayers for peace
~ ring on for eternity...
It has been nearly one thousand years since the Heroes of Time left on their epic journey to save the past, present, and future from the entity known only as Lavos. And though they believed that their lives would go on happily in the new era of peace they had heralded with their journey, they soon found that they were wrong. War erupted five short years later, and the fates of the heroes were thrown to the winds. How could their futures be taken so violently? Had they truly saved the world?
A new set of heroes stepped forward in the ashes of their fates, discovering that Lavos had a plan sculpted for vengeance--a plan to devour all time. The heroes traveled across dimensions, eventually vanquishing the dread monster known as the Time Devourer. They went their separate ways after that, the dimensions set right, their memories wiped clean of their journey. But in the instant before their separation, they united under one hope--that the nightmare was over. That their world could finally rest.
But could it rest? What of the evil within men, the very evil planted by Lavos?

Xavier Ashtear had never considered himself special. Unpopular throughout his childhood at school, Xavier was often getting into fights and was constantly teased and ridiculed for his tendency to slip off into daydreams. The two bright spots in his life were his best friend, Matison, and his growing fame as a highly talented artist.
Little did he know that fate had something else in mind for him. Flung through time after a disaster at Guardia's 2000th anniversary celebration, Xavier soon discovered that history was gravely in error, and that the future was in horrible jeopardy. With his friends at his side, Xavier swore to solve the mysteries of the past to unlock the secrets to saving the future. But what begins as a quest simply for an answer soon evolves into much more... And Xavier begins to learn that time is a very delicate thing... And that sometimes, the answer is not as simple as it seemed...

Chrono Crisis is our answer to what may or may not have happened after Chrono Cross. Using various sources across the net, we are trying to keep the story as close to canon as possible, while still allowing ourselves to create and expand upon the Chrono universe. This is meant to be a final chapter--a culmination of the events portrayed in the games that we love. We're not claiming to be "the" sequel to Chrono Cross, but we fondly like to think that we may at least be able to provide some tentative answers to the larger questions in the series. This is a game purely for fans, by fans, and we will do our best to uphold the amazing story of the series.
II. Characters
Xavier Ashtear (http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/3559/xavierstaticver26nh.png)
Name Meaning: New House
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Home: Truce Dome
Magical Element: Light (Holy; White)
Occupation: Student/Painter for the royal family
Overview:
Xavier is a rebellious youth with a kind heart and a strong sense of justice. While he lacks his mother's mechanical prowess, he is an incredibly capable painter, and has been painting actively for the royal family for years. In fact, he has had a crush on the princess, Celia, for several years.
Xavier often slips off into daydreams, and as a result is thought of as sort of quiet and eccentric by his peers. Xavier is a bit of a smart aleck, and is fairly disliked at school. He isn't the best student, but since beginning classes at Arris Academy, he has shown immense dedication towards his mother's class. Xavier is also a bit of an athlete--he enjoys playing in virtual reality battle simulators, and often spends time he's not painting or hanging out with his best friend Matison practicing his dual-sword style. He often stays up late painting and playing video games, making him late for school.
Xavier's abilities are all grouped around offensive attacks. His dual-sword style sacrifices a bit in the defense department, but Xavier is more concerned on hitting the enemy as many times as possible in as hard as he can. As such, many of his techs are focused on multiple heavy attacks. He meshes well with most of his companions, giving him access to an abundance of dual and triple techs.

Matison Embree (http://www.aliasworkshop.com/transfer/landreia/MATISON_STATIC.gif)
Age: 18
Sex: Female
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Purple
Home: Truce Dome
Magical Element: Earth
Occupation: Student
Weapon: Gloves
Overview:
Xavier's best friend and the female heart-throb of Arris Academy, Matison is easily loveable and the center of a lot of attention. Her popularity is only stunted by the fact that she continues to keep Xavier in her close company. Matison is often the voice of reason in Xavier's life. When he tries to sneak out of school to hit the arcade, it's Matison who calmly reminds him of his grades. She seems to care for Xavier deeply, and though she is a breathtaking beauty, Xavier doesn't seem to notice (probably due to his crush on Princess Celia). Matison seems to have some other secrets she's keeping from Xavier. She has a beautiful voice, but whenever he comes near her, she seems unable to sing. She also tends to go away on long trips with her mother, but never comes back with pictures...

Behind her kind exterior lies a free spirit, longing for adventure. Always trusting her intuition, Celia follows her heart and goes where the wind takes her. Little does she know that her upcoming journey will exceed even her wildest dreams.

Vanessa hopes to rebuild the Ashtear legacy, and has invented a variety of things to try and improve life in Guardia. Her latest invention, a grand computer network, is supposedly going to change the world. However, no one has seen it work yet...

IV. Features
Not really a feature, but Chrono Crisis is being developed in RPG Maker XP.
Finalized menu
(http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/4304/menuexbf8.th.jpg) (http://img241.imageshack.us/my.php?image=menuexbf8.jpg)
When you "mouse" over one of the icons, the part at the top that says "please select a function" changes to show what function you're overn (IE: Item, tech, ect).
The design is based on a computer interface invented by Vanessa Ashtear. This network is implanted into all the main characters through various devices, specifically contacts, an earring, and a chip on his brainstem for Xavier. This allows him to directly connect to the network at any given time giving him access to all it's features, which include using items (that are transported directly to him through transportation technology), using Tech Points to learn new techs, check his and other party members status, switch party members, adjust options on the menu, check his emails (and look at a dictionary of all people met, places visited, etc), and save progress.
Finalized Equipment part of the menu

Tech Grid

Battle System Mock up
(http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/7665/battleexqr8.th.jpg) (http://img224.imageshack.us/my.php?image=battleexqr8.jpg)
How it will work
What we've decided so far is that we will keep the combo system from Cross, and more closely match it with the flexibility of the dual/triple techs from Trigger. The system is based on exhaustion, so you can attack until all of those little squares go away. Certain characters have more stamina than others--and remember, more strength doesn't nessessarily result in more energy.
What about techs?
Here's where we expand. Cross is critisized for having sort of a watered down version of the Xenogears battle system. We're going to bring back an element from that system that was very fun--command input techs. In short, techs in Crisis will NOT cost MP. They're free--they just cost exhaustion, and of course, your own skill to input them correctly. Magic will be handled in a seperate menu that is not shown in these mockups (it'll appear between Fight and Item). You can access your tech list to see the combos you need by hitting "X" (or whichever button we denote as X. XD I'm still hoping we CAN get controllers to work with this, as it'll make this much easier for everyone involved.)
Another idea I'm playing with is simply having you select the tech you want from the "X" menu, and then it prompts you for the commands. A little less action based.
Duals and Triples?
Another place where Cross was sort of "meh". Crisis will have at least as many, if not more dual and triple techniques than Chrono Trigger. This, I promise. How will they work?
During your tech, there will be a point where you are prompted to push the action key (enter, or "A"), if another character has enough stamina to join in. Since the higher level techs take a LOT of stamina, there may be turns you have to rest with the other characters in order to save up enough to act as one force. In the case of a triple, you'll be prompted to hit the command button twice. The action will freeze, and you can put in the commands for the other characters. If successful, a combo will be launched.
Magic techs will work the same way they did in Trigger--through menu hopping. They will also cost MP.
After each battle, you're awarded EXP (for your levels, of course!) and TP (EXP for your techs). Techs are innately learned, and not equipped (so no element grids). Unlike Trigger, you can pick and choose where you allocate your TP. Techs can be leveled up to do more damage, and TP are also required to learn techs. To learn a new tech, you must not only have enough TP to unlock it, but the required levels in prerequisite techs, if indicated.
Benefits of leveling up Techs
In addition to doing more damage, having a greater chance of inflicting a status ailment, or healing more damage (depending on the tech), some techs can also give you bonuses. A character is naturally attuned towards certain strengths (For example, Xavier is more attuned to physical attacks, while Celia is more attuned to magical attacks). By learning techs and spells, bonuses are added to your character's core stats--attack, defense, speed, magic, and magic defense.
That's it for now... If you have any comments or concerns, post them here and I'll address them. Remember--these are just the sparks of ideas, so we don't have demos or anything. XD If you have any ideas that you think would be cool to add, go ahead and point those out too. XDD
My wonderful spriter Lena Andreia made the battle mockup and menu designs, and as soon as everything's finalized, our programmer will begin making them for real, so bring on your ideas!

Old Demo
I only have an old demo for now: (Very very old)
http://games.whahay.net/ChronoCrisisDemo.lzh (http://games.whahay.net/ChronoCrisisDemo.lzh)
To play you'll need RPG Maker 2003's RTP.

Hehe, I saw this game some time ago, looks very promising! I looooove that menu, must have been tough to code with RPG Maker XP! Good job! Keep it up!
-
O_O x 5789
those screenshots look extremely good!
i havent read the whole post yet, but is this a remake of chrono crisis or an original game?
edit: ah, the chrono trigger sequel's called chrono cross, i see. so this is original then. cool :D
-
You really like advertising this don't you? I've seen this on GW, Loosecannon... now here!
It looks really nice though. 1125464200/10
-
The main reason I'm posting this here is I want to recruit some spriters to help me start on a future project of mine, Kingdom Crossing. Details will be coming soon. ;D
-
Wow :P This looks amazing! I'm on the Mac side of my computer right now, but the second I get into Windows, I'm so downloading this. The concept art is by far some of the best I've ever seen too :] Keep up the awsome work!
-
The demo is extremely old and nothing from it is being kept, you should know that in advance.
-
Woah, serious deja-vu ??? Have you ever released this at Gaming Word? The demo seems really familiar. I do like it so far though :]
Edit: Also, how did you make it so that Crono retains his position after attacking? I had no idea you could do that in rm2k3 :P
-
I really have no idea, it's been so long. And yes, this is the same Chrono Crisis demo that was posted at Gaming W ages ago.
-
OMG! :o THAT'S AWESOME!
What did you use to make the concept art, like the colored ones??? ???
-
Oh my god, this is freaking AMAZING, I've been wondering how Chrono Crisis was supposed to be like and now with you remaking it onot RPG Maker, I can finally play it. :P
-
YOU !@#$% OWN!!!!!!! This is the sweetest fangame I've ever seen in the history of ever! O_O 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999/10! It looks better than Chrono Trigger, and that's one of my favorite games ever! I'm not so excited about using some of the concepts from Chrono Cross, but from what you said it seems like they will be implemented a lot better. And the Xenosaga-style tech learning! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111!!1!11!!!11!1!!1one!111
btw, do you have a support banner I could put in my sig?
-
Now I need to find the RTP for RPG Maker...Gotta start looking.
*heads over to google*
-
:o
omg..
that is nuts!
you totally rock
good luck.
-
ns ns ns ns! (ns=nice)
but, one guy? no other guys in party?
werd...
ooh well...
looks awsome
-
sweet !!!! i dont have rpg maker :( but it looks awesome
-
Looks interesting. I don't love the way that the hero speaks, or the consistency in graphical style. Also, the title isn't original. Otherwise, looks very interesting and promising.
-
I love the screenshots, they're great. The menu screens like ace, a lot of effort must have been put into them - unless those are all ripped graphics, I'm not sure what you've sprited yourself lol.
But it's great yeah.
The concept art is very good too, nice to see people doing it still.
-
At first when I looked at the topic title, I thought "Great. Another pooty-ass Chrono fan-game." but when I saw the screenshots I was just like O.O. That's freaking sweet! Keep it up! I LOVE YOU!
-
Looks fascinating!!!! :o
Are these sprites custom?
-
this game looks really really promising but I want to know if all that is programmed or just mock ups (I know the Battle System pic is)
looks good though, mock up or not, keep up the work.
-
Like a year or two ago i was a noob at rpg maker 2k and the name for my game was gonna be chrono crisis
it had nothing to do with chrono trigger or chrono cross it just sounded cool
then a later I find this which is going to be kickass cause it does have something to do with the chrono series
-
it really seems like a sequal to the Chrono Series :jellytime:
-
I was just looking at the screens again and I really like the tech menu! It reminds me of my old project and the Forge Grid I was making, it kinda looked like that except yours looks alot better (I made mine when I couldn't sprite worth crap, not saying that I'm that great even now :P)
It looks really good and I can tell you've put a lot of customization into it, RPG Maker XP looks really confusing compared to the other RPG Makers. I actually tried to use XP last night but for some reason my scripting box is way too big for the screen. :P
well keep up the great work I can't wait to see a new demo! ;D
-
???
I can't play
It says:
"The vehicle file could not be opened"
WHAT'S going ON?
-
I loved Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, and this game looks just as promising ;D
The menu I like, and the screen shots look great.
I also like the fact that you're putting in double and triple techs back in, thats one thing I missed in Chrono Cross was the dual techs, I think there was like 5 maybe.
I think you'll do a great job :P
-
Thanks for the comments! Firstly, this isn't a remake of either Chrono game, Trigger or Cross, but an original sequal to both, Chrono Crisis.
All graphics are 100% custom, from the sprites to the tiles. The menus are mock ups for now, but we have people working on coding them into real systems.

Dude, those graphics are custom?!
I'll just lift my hat for you dude, because those are some hell of a graphics you got there!
Good luck dude. Can't wait to see more from this ;)
-
yepp, lena is a really asome spriter... *runs to CC Community site *
-
Is this RPG Maker XP/ or 2k/3? If it's XP, we should talk sometime. I need a script..
-
On the Battle Screen Shots in your forums, you spelt "Crono" and "Marle" wrong. Just letting ya know. ;D
-
This is by far one of the most professional projects I've ever seen around. The screenshots look great, the graphics are insanely awesome and you actually made ART for it, and the plot... Wow. Good luck you guys. :)
-
When are you gonna release a demo with the new menus and stuff? The old one I played had the horrid RPGM2K3 default text and made it hard to read things. And the walking animation was...weird. XD But seriously, this game from all your recent screenshots is looking insanely good! ;D
-
When are you gonna release a demo with the new menus and stuff?
From what I've heared there will be no demos :(
I sertantly love how this project looks and how its going. It makes my game look feeble in comparison.
Good work, Chains. I've been a fan of your game for quite some time and I always go to your forums for the latest info.
-
This is by far one of the most professional projects I've ever seen around. The screenshots look great, the graphics are insanely awesome and you actually made ART for it, and the plot... Wow. Good luck you guys. :)
And even more stunningly, it was made in RPG Maker, yet it's still awesome :o!
-
Wow...I loved both Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross (although the ending I got was pretty crappy...) and this looks pretty up to that caliber, not to mention the fact that I used to work with RPG Maker a lot...and never got anything this...un-RPG Maker like. Much kudos, dude.
BTW: You do realize you've named it Time Crisis right? Like...that old arcade shooter...yeah...just a thought.
-
On the Battle Screen Shots in your forums, you spelt "Crono" and "Marle" wrong. Just letting ya know.
The person who designed those shots likes to stick with the names as they were in the original japanese, "Chrono" and "Marl" are how they were spelled. Of course, the screen is just a mock up so it's unimportant. Thanks for the concern though. ^^
No, we won't be releasing any demos, maybe a teaser, not sure yet. For those of you who haven't searched the forums, here's a special treat for your listening pleasure!

The forest theme sounds awesome! You captured the bass PERFECTLY on that! I don't think Yasonori Mitsuda could have done better himself.
-
I love the Forest Theme. Its awesome. The other songs are also great but they make me feel like Im in the world of Tron.
The boss song isn't very catchy like the other boss songs in Chrono but the fact that you are able to get your own
original music is great.

RULES
The art must be original. We'll accept any format or medium--digital, traditional, paintings, colored pencils, ect.
All entries MUST be submitted to Chains of Fate via email or PM. Please don't post them on the forums!
We'll post the entries once we've begun judging.
PRIZES
GRAND PRIZE
A Chrono Trigger or Cross fan comic fresh from Japan, OR the Chrono Trigger or Cross Japanese game guide. I have a friend in Japan who has offered to hunt down the goods for us, so we're not 100% sure if we can find the guides at this time. The comic will be non yaoi/yuri/hentai as there will more than likely be minors in the contest.
Grand prize winners will also be granted a cameo appearance in Crisis as a NPC, have their art shown along with Dai's (the first art contest winner) in the programmer ending credits, and recieve a credit.
FAN FAVORITE
After we post the pics, we'll also have a fan favorite competition. We'll allow you guys to vote on which pic you like best. The picture won't be labeled by artist, so the judging should be non-baised.
The winner of the fan favorite competition will also be granted a cameo in Crisis. If the winner of the fan favorite competition is the same as the grand prize winner, we'll pick the runner up to have the cameo. You'll also get a credit, and have your artwork shown during the programmer's ending.
DEADLINE
The deadline is soon, on Saturday, January 20th.
Well, there you have it! Do your best! ^^
Happy New Year~

to get in, we just pm our work to you? awesome!
-
Yes. ^^

On the Battle Screen Shots in your forums, you spelt "Crono" and "Marle" wrong. Just letting ya know.
The person who designed those shots likes to stick with the names as they were in the original japanese, "Chrono" and "Marl" are how they were spelled. Of course, the screen is just a mock up so it's unimportant. Thanks for the concern though. ^^
No, we won't be releasing any demos, maybe a teaser, not sure yet. For those of you who haven't searched the forums, here's a special treat for your listening pleasure!

two questions:
1. isnt that competition a week already before you posted it here?
2. how long does the server moving take?
-
Yes, but for some reason I could not reply in this topic until yesterday, I tried to post it sooner, even PMed a moderator but he was unable to help.
The server moving is now complete.
-
OMG I just realized something...
Xavier looks kinda' like that guy from Chrono Crusade! Either way I love the character designs.
-
I've never seen Chrono Crusade, what character does Xavier resemble?
-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrono_%28Chrono_Crusade%29
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fov0V10UHWE
33 seconds in is Chrono, the blue haired guy with the red coat thing on.
He looks kinda' like Xavier if you ask me. The whole trench coat thing anyways. Plus the hair is kinda' the same, except for the pony tail.
-
ah, Chrono Crusade, isn't "Chrno Crusade" really amazing anime,
EDIT: the only thing in common is the hairstyle just that..

they have their own forums and i think the chrono fan forums too... after them he maybe will come here then
-
ha! i have hunted him down! i found out he has over 18 entries, and that the deadline has been postponed to the 17th. this puts my winning percentage down to 0.
-
Wow..This looks amazing and the characters actually look like the could be in like Chrono Trigger.
-
Sorry, I never received any entries from this forum so I forgot to post here. ^^;
Regarding the contest, for those interested...
This was an extremely difficult decision to make, but Lena and I have finally picked our winner for the art contest. Those of you who didn't win shouldn't be discouraged though, the judging for fan favorite has begun!
We'd like to thank everyone who contributed, we got a lot of amazing entries and it was hard to decide on just one.
Drumroll please...
And the winner is...
Paul Levesque! His entry was a promotional poster type drawing which really stuck out to us. Check it out for yourselves:

To my knowledge and thanks to Square Enix's efforts in shutting us down, you're the last remaining light in the CT Projects community.
Good luck to you sir. The rest of the old CTRP team members and I salute you. :P

Wow, didn't know that SquareEnix is still shutting fan-projects down... xP
Anyways, that poster rules. :D
-
maybe the rest of the fangames are just like with the zelda fangames, here is the pc/ laptop crashed, in the chrono-version they say square has shut them down, makes them sound more important ;P

-

yeah cause this game looks like it's gonna be amazing!
-
There isn't going to be a demo, only the full game.
-
This looks absolutely amazing. By far the best looking fan game on this forum.
-
Wow I can't believe i've never commented on this yet, this looks AMAZING! I love Chrono Trigger and this just looks sooo nice, There aren't many Chrono Trigger fan games out there, there's been a 3D remake of Chrono Trigger and such, but they've gotten canceled due to Square-Enix x_x and there was one that was Completed (I think) It basicly took place after Chrono Trigger I've played and it was sooo good :P but yeah Im gonna have to agree with Lunar, this is probably the best fan game on here! :P
-
i would say that after Chrono Crisis would be the best promising indie game on here FF 5-2 and Crystaline River after that are coming the promising Zelda fangames ;P
-
I'm far more excited about this than OOT2D. :o Sorry Daniel!
-

maybe because it has an own story? xD
-
Perhaps. :P Maybe also because I think Chrono Trigger is the single greatest video game of all time.
