Chrono Crisis

http://chrono.mediaddiction.com/forum/ (or http://www.chronocrisis.com , coming soon)

Chrono Crisis is a new story in the Chrono series being done with RPGMaker XP.

The Earth... She holds everything we know, everything we can ever hope to understand. She is marred with the scars of humanity, wounds from wars fought needlessly from era to era, dynasty to dynasty. I suppose it is natural to pray that time heals all wounds...But there are some things that even the long droning march of time cannot heal. We learned that as children. We witnessed the dreaded future sculpted by the extraterrestrial being known as Lavos, and gazed into the dying eyes of the people there... And saw nothing but bleak grey. Everything was grey. It was if Lavos had taken even color from the people of the world... But why? Why was our Mother Earth under attack from this horrific monster? What was... Lavos? And why could it warp the minds of whomever approached it? We tried to fight it... We chased Lavos through time, doing everything we could to tip the scales of fate in our favor. We risked everything for a future we could never hope to see. In the end, we emerged victorious, saving the future, and ultimately, we hoped, ourselves. It was such a long journey... And we were so young... If we had only known that the evils of the world didn't end at Lavos... If we had only seen the evils in our own kind... If we had only realized that by saving one future, we were destroying our own...

Nearly 1,000 years have passed since Crono, Nadia, and Lucca defeated Lavos. A mysterious new villian arises from the depths of time to send the world into darkness once again, and it's up to a new team of time travelers to set things right. The young Xavier Ashtear starts what becomes the next epic chapter in the Chrono saga, paving the path to the true future by uncovering the secrets of the past. Our new heroes will discover the hard way that time is a very delicate thing... And that the slightest change can have great consequences... Consequences they never thought possible.

Chrono Distortion

http://chronod.avidgamers.com/

RP dealing with Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.

Chrono MUCK

http://charis.servegame.com:4299/

It started simply, a text game based on the worlds of Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. But, nothing ever goes according to plan. With no control over the direction of global events things soon took a turn for the worse. New villains and new surprises from every end of the time line began to appear and their actions brought with them unforeseen consequences. The world was destroyed...

Now, after a major rethinking and rebuilding, Chrono MUCK returns. The remains of the shattered timelines have fused various areas and times together. As the citizens of the world began to rebuild an ominous tower appeared, within it the cause of the destruction. Can the order of time be restored? Can this new threat be vanquished? Only the players can decide.

We welcome everyone with a desire for good role play to join us. With the merger of the timelines anyone can be applied for, and from any point in time. The setting gives a unique opportunity to re-write events and create entirely new scenarios. If you've ever written a short story before, you're more than experienced enough to enjoy what we have to offer. Join us, won't you? The fate of the world depends on it...

Chrono Trigger Movie Soundtrack Remix Project

http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=45588

Mission Statement

The mission of this project is to fully orchestrate the incredible music of Chrono Trigger, in order to create a soundtrack befitting the Chrono Trigger movie, as scripted by this project's leader and originator. In doing so, we hope to achieve a level of professionalism and cohesiveness unwitnessed in recent Chrono Trigger projects, and create a product that is both wholly enjoyable and entirely encompassing of its textual foundation. Our mission is, in its purest form, to create a lasting and self-sustaining soundtrack that will be listened to for many years to come, and considered a cornerstone of the Chrono Trigger universe. To do this, we rely upon the most talented remixers in the world, those of the OCReMix forums, whose combined works have reached many thousands upon thousands of ears, and whose combined skills will ensure a compilation of songs worthy of any movie, fan-based or otherwise. This is our mission.

Chrono Trigger Novel Project

Chrono Trigger Novel Project Mission Statement By Wayne Kramer, 10/17/04 Project Information: http://www.chronotrigger.info

The Chrono Trigger Novel Project exists as an effort to create, publicize, and publish a Chrono Trigger novel as an additional form of media that can be enjoyed by current fans of the hit RPG and the non-gaming community alike. The novel itself reflects the entire story from the game, plus countless additions to supply bonus material for existing fans, fill in story gaps, and add to the overall effect of the story in novel form.

The creation of the novel itself is not to be handled by a solo entity, namely myself. Rather, I have provided many avenues for fans to speak up and let their ideas and concerns for the novel be heard and considered. To make the content of the novel as thorough and accurate as possible, an Editorial Team has been formed consisting of a group of carefully selected individuals to assist in editorial efforts. This team is a part of a project Committee, which serves to provide input, support, and execution to the operations within the project. All of this is reflective of my belief that the story of Chrono Trigger is not my own, but that of every fan who has enjoyed the characters, events, and depth it presents.

In light of successful publication, it is my hope that, as the founder and novelist of this project, the Chrono Trigger novel would add a new, entertaining, and enjoyable story in the vast collection of fantasy literature. Through this novel, RPG fans would be treated to the ability to experience the story that they once played their way through in a fresh and in-depth narrative that can effectively supplement the gaming experience. It is my belief that this novel would be a large success if allowed to enter the mainstream, paving the way for other novels like it and a plethora of other possibilities, serving as an asset to the beneficiaries, the gaming community, the reading community, and the entertainment industry.

Chrono Trigger OSV Remake Project

http://www.ctosvremake.tk/

An effort to cover the entire soundtrack of Chrono Trigger with piano (and some guitar, it seems).

Chrono Trigger Retranslation

Project Page

An effort by RPGOne translations to retranslate Chrono Trigger. It will be completely direct, with nothing left untouched or unpreserved.

Chrono Trigger Special Edition

This is a tentative effort by the Chrono Compendium to rerelease Chrono Trigger retranslated from the original Japanese version and enhanced in several aspects. JLukas is currently attempting to decode the handling of the script in the Japanese ROM to produce a text dump.

Chrono Trigger: After Effect

http://ct-aftereffect.com/

An epic adventure, in Full 3D.

Crono and the gang one day are teleported to the End of time for some horrible news. Lavos was only a baby, a baby of the real enemy, Thanatos. The only way they can find out how to stop this demon is to go to the Beginning of Time, and ask the mysterious man how to get to Thanatos.

And even still, once there, it will be more than a mission just to find Thanatos; for who knows what awaits them in Chrono Trigger: After Effect.

Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes

http://www.chronocompendium.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?t=527

Chrono Trigger: Crimson Echoes is a vision of Chrono Break, done through a full modification of the Chrono Trigger ROM. The intermediary between Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross, it once again follows the original cast members -- albeit the circumstances of their reunion are dark...

Vanquished by seven magnificent warriors, Lavos has laid his head and submitted to the sands of the hourglass; the End of Time is now vacant, and each has returned unto his own era, hailed and received as heroes. Their valor is lofty, and their noble deeds range through the history of mankind, benefitting all with the gifts of their honored quest. While man may always be imperfect, and while some were lost during the effort to secure the salvation of the planet from the alien invader, countless lives have been saved, and the meaning and responsibility of life has once again been placed in the hands of human beings and Mystics alike. The threat has been removed, and the saints of the Chrono Trigger now labor to improve the state of affairs at home.

But the scope of time is never spotless; the spectre of bloody stains now lurks over it once more, as the full repercussions of the trails through time have come to bear. Unrelenting, the cold blizzards pound against the caves and hearts of prehistoric peoples. Unfound, a pure soul remains vanished from the warming tundras of antiquity. Unsuccessful, the knight continues to search for an heir to his legacy. And unabashedly, the nations of the south outfit their clothes with new weapons of war. Only in the future does hope gleam, where the exploits of science will soon afford man a gaze into the stream of time and a view into his past – a vantage point already held by darker forces which, too, overshadow the victory over the apocalypse, and stand poised to introduce new scourges of bloodshed and unrest to history. They may be stopped, however – if the heroes can once again unite; if they can escape and rectify the troubles of their presents, and join as one hand once more, defending and standing fast against the Crimson Echoes.

CE is currently in planning stages; you can help by reading the plot thread and making suggestions.

Chrono Trigger: Reja Vu

Site

Chrono Trigger: Reja Vu is a massive textual expansion of Chrono Trigger, adding in extra dialogue.

Chrono Trigger: Shadow out of Time

http://ct-shadow.avidgamers.com/

Chrono Trigger, the story of the fight against Lavos, is over. Crono and his companions destroyed Lavos, but did it have to happen that way? This RP is a retelling of the story of Chrono Trigger, but it by no means must follow the original plot. Maybe Crono and his compaions will save the world again, or it may be that Cyrus, Schala, or some unknown hero destroys Lavos. Maybe none will succeed this time and Lavos wil succeed in destroying the world. How it plays out is up to you. Will you fight against Lavos or aid him in your own quest for power?

The Forsaken Demesne

http://www.chronocompendium.com/Forums/viewtopic.php?t=610

The Forsaken Demesne is a planned modification to Chrono Trigger that will implement at huge dungeon, accessible through the Cursed Woods, that will function as a combat ladder. DivineDragoonKain is responsible for the project:

It will be a 40+ floor dungeon called the Forsaken Demesne, which will feature enemies in increasing power, from pathetic to Damn you Chickenlump! difficulties. I plan to do this by removing several areas from the game and rearranging them together(completely retiling many areas), as well as adding said enemies. Bosses will be frequent as well, and other things will burrow their way in as time passes.

The focus of this project is to breathe some fresh challenge (among other things) into CT.

Chrono Trigger: Day of Thantos

http://chronotrigger-dt.cjb.net/

Chrono Trigger: Day of Thantos is an effort to create a Chrono game in 3D that takes place between Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.

Throughout the ages, great warriors touched by destiny have journeyed across space, time and dimension to save the earth, all life, and even time itself. As one danger was replaced by another, new heroes came forth to meet the challenge. But there is an untold story in the Chrono saga. The heroes who had crossed time to defeat Lavos and save the future still had a part to play. In the tumultuous time between two dynasties, an ancient foe reached from beyond oblivion to enact is final vengeance, and a new, yet familiar enemy arose. From the hands of the daughter of magic, captive in a prison of shadow, destruction was sown anew. Faced with the ruination of the peace which they had created, the time travelers were thrust into the heat of battle once again. The flames of valor which had ended the tyranny of Lavos were rekindled once more, because not only the fate of the earth was at stake, but all existence. These were the events of Chrono Trigger 2: Day of Thantos.

Chrono Trigger Remake Project

http://www.chrono-trigger.com

The Chrono Trigger Remake Project is a total conversion for Unreal Tournament 2004 based on the Square-Enix game, Chrono Trigger. We are working to achieve a fun remake true to the original game with a few cool revamped things (such as mini-games, side quests, new events, and a co-op mode). The Chrono Trigger Remake Project team intends to build up their experience with this task of remaking the original CT, while having fun recreating their favourite scenes, characters, and locations from the original game. This project is a just a tribute, and should be conisdered equal to any fanart or fanfiction already existent over the internet. In the future the Project might move to the next Unreal engine in order to have the best engine there is. If our experience lets us, we might even try to build an engine ourselves or use the Unreal Engine 2 Runtime and thus allow people who don't have Unreal Tournament 2004 to play this awesome game.

The Project's main objective is to totally recreate the feeling of the original game, in a way the old fans may remember how it was played the original deal back in 1995 while the new players enjoy the game with reworked graphics. That way it will be possible to select if the player wants to play the original work (in 3D of course) or the new mode with the added exras (mini-games, side quests and events). If time and our skills permit, a multiplayer mode will be added, where players can battle each other or play through the game with a companion. This Project isn't easy and shouldn't be taken lightly; we're serious, even if it takes 5 years or more to finish this project, we will work slowly, but we won't disregard our quality standards -- we will release soomething worthy of the Chrono Trigger name. The Project is a fan made tribute and doesn't intend to harm in any way the awesome Square Enix Chrono franchise; that way, you will be able to obtain the game free when it's released. If by any means we don't achieve our game quality standards, we won't release the game. Chrono Trigger is a masterpiece in its original format, and should not be disrespected in any way.

Any CT fan who thinks that might have somthing to contribute to the project can try to get in contact with us. Remember, we're always looking for help.

Requirements:

Any applicant should at least post/email etc. examples of his work, the CTR Project team will consider them and get in contact with the applicant. If any answer doesn't come up in the next days the applicant shouldn't worry; it's normal in these kind of fan projects that the team takes time to get all the teammates opinions. Remember, we have lives too. Every new applicant should agree to the NDA.

Currently needed most: Texturers, Character Modelers, Character Animators, Unreal Script Coders. Please apply here.
