Got another update ready!
I figured it was about time we showed off some of the revised sprites. ALL of the sprites from CT (Main characters, sub characters, and misc. NPCs) are being redone in the new style, as you can see here:
And let's not forget the Cross characters:
We've also updated the menu a little more as you can see:
Soon I'll have pics of the individual parts of the menu, attack, techs, etc.
Luckily for you guys, the graphics are only icing on the cake. We've done a lot of work on the script lately to, so I hope you all enjoy this updated intro and story synopsis:
The Earth... She holds everything we know, everything that we can 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 entity 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...
But perhaps there is still hope... Perhaps, somewhere...
There are a new group of heroes who can set things right again. To finish what we began. To end it, eternally.
Safe and sound in his bed, a boy dreams of the future. But his dreams are becoming polluted by a growing shadow, a voice that beckons to him from the dark. Who are the shadows 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 deciever. 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, its fate tied with the world'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 seperate ways after that, the deminsions set right, their memories wiped clean of their journey. But in the instant before their seperation, 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?

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 tenative 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.
