Chrono Crisis

http://icybrian.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=5076&st=125

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

Many eras have passed since mankind was first born upon the world. Countless lives have been lost, saved, and ruined, and only a few heroes have been born. Among these heroes, are three teenagers, Crono, Nadia, and Lucca, who risked their lives to save the future of their world, even though they would never live to see it themselves. Although they saved so many people, was what they did really right? What happened to the people who WOULD have been born if time had not been altered? After thinking about it, they feared that one day someone may discover the truth and seek revenge on them. Now that they're older and have lives of their own, are they willing to lose everything because they did what they thought was right?

The year is 1,005 A.D. , and the day of Crono and Nadia's crowning has arrived. They are finally ready to rule the Kingdom of Guardia, but little do they know all hell is about to break loose. Our heroes discover that someone has been watching them, and altering time to get rid of them. As they attempt to rewrite history the way is was meant to be written, they are caught up in an endless struggle against this unknown enemy bent on erasing everything from existence. Who is this villian and what is their motive? In 2,000 A.D. , a young man named Xavier and his friend Matison, a famous pop star, Arlecia, who's finally trying to escape the life she's being forced to lead, and the current princess of Guardia,Celia, all become involved in the perilous journey when they discover time travel for themselves.

Meanwhile, in 2,300 A.D. ... Although it has been restored and the world remains filled with lush forests, sparkling lakes, and clean air, things are not as peaceful as they would appear. Lately, a mysterious band of magicians called the Techno Mages have been wreaking havoc looking for an ancient relic. Doctor Lutania Ashtear who works at Bio Dome is currently on the brink of creating a new form of life that is a cross between a human and nature. Just as she is about to realize her dream, she is sabatoged and stripped of her status because of a false accusation. What will become of her? Only time will tell...

Chrono MUCK

http://www.geocities.com/marr0w/index.htm

It is our intention to capture the flair and feel of the series as best we can in our limited format. ChronoMUCK is a text based RPG encompassing the worlds of Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross in an elaborate mix letting the players create their own place in history. Because history is what it's all about; the flow of time and all the lives and creations it affects...

Our story begins where Chrono Trigger leaves off, now four years into the future. Chrono and Marle have wed, and the king of Guardia Kingdom has left on his daughter's wishes to broaden his horrizons of the world leaving the children in control of the kingdom's future. Meanwhile, accross the globe, the seeds of war have been sewn as a rebelious group of Mystics have joined forces with the militant forces of Porre on a potential strkie on Guardia Kingdom during it's time of prosperity.

The worlds of Trigger and Cross are always more than meets the eye, and so is this world we've created. Players can choose from any class of character their imagination can create as long as it fits into our theme. Beneath the woodwork we've worked on elaborate methods of introducing time travel and alternate worlds into the mix. Countless hours of study and work has gone, and continues to go, into our backstory keeping the initial world as close to the original as we can possibly keep it. The only changes are up to the players and where the RP takes them.

We invite anyone with a desire for good story telling, or great role playing to come and join us, whether it be as a heroic knight, villanous criminal, or just an average villager. Our staff is always eager to answer any questions and help with anything from character development to general questions about the setting and MUCKing in general. We sincerly hope that you'll consider joining us in our ever growing tribute to the greatest series of role playing games ever released by Square-Enix for, as you know, the black wind has once again begun to howl...

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 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 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.
