Help Wanted!
« on: May 29, 2006, 07:07:38 pm »
Thanks to the people that gave us an idea for the game name!  Anyways down to business,

Spriter's Wanted
--------------------
Currently for Chrono Trigger - Time's Illusion, we definately need spriters badly right now.  BlueThunder and myself can't do every NPC and other stuff on our own.  It's too much work, including that I have to make maps, do coding, set plot and all.  I'm only a temporary spriter and I pop up with stuff every once in awhile.  It doesn't really how many spriters ask if they want to join, we need as many as we can get.


Plot Writer's Wanted
--------------------------
I, myself, am a plot writer, but I am overflowed with work on this project and I would like some people who can set the plot for the game.  I have the whole thing of what the game revolves around so if you want to join tell me and i'll give some of the info so you can help me start.

If you'd like to join our group to sprite, either PM me, talk to me on AIM (NadiaCrono).  Send an example of your work as well if you are interested.  I'll be setting the Forum up for this project right now.  I'll ask Zeality (if he's not to busy >_>)

Nice. I notice you messed the "C" in Chrono. If it wasn't in purpose, this shouldn't be hard to put the correct C back though.

This will be even nicer! I once tried to change the title too just for purposeless experiment, it's hard because the new title must fit in the old title slots. The "H" has a different palette than "RONO" and there's an annoying black line between that H and RONO (not visible there but it becomes quite visible if HRONO is changed).

I'm looking forward to your title and project anyway. With all the graphic hack this will really be something fresh compared with CT.

It's hard to do this so far only people that are in the project are
me - Justin3009
BlueThunder
Nightmare
Kazuki

We need more people to work on the sprites and plot cause it's almost hard to do with a 4 man project.

Also i'll give a little hint on the stuff.  Every little thing of graphics in the game will be changed.  Battle stuff may not be but i'll figure that out.  Expect the overworld Buildings to be different as well!  Since i figured out i can edit the domes of 1999 AD, we can change them to what we please, but the size is a small issue which we're trying to overcome.  Overworld sprites, NPC's, all that will be different.  Except for the tree's/water/buidlings in town.  The tree's and water in overworld won't be changed but the buildings will. 

               Also, the person in my avatar = person in my game.  His name's guile!  woo!.  Yes he's a crono look alike >_>.  Right now there's going to be a lucca look alike!  WOO!  But we're still in the steps of progression to change the outlook of the people.  But, expect some of the graphics of attack to be different thanks to hex editing.  Hex editing = basis of this whole project basically.  If i can figure out how to change the hex editing of techs, then we could give everyone new techs!  Like having Crono AKA Guile to use Rock Teleportation or use Evil Moon (Lavos)  or even use Ice 2.  Well, I already made the normal attack everyone's tech even triple techs for on eperson O_O.  But if i can change the NORMAL tech stuff then the graphics won't be so funkied.  But, once we release a demo of this, expect a whole new world of Chrono Trigger to be unleashed.  We're also trying to replace .spc's and stuff.  If we can't, we'll just have to remix the music.  Sound effects we may change as well :D
            I was thinking of making a trailer for the game but i'm not sure how or what to use to make it.  We could use windows video maker but then we need screenshots and stuff and their oddness attacks and have them walk across differnet overworld stuff. 
             But Guile, uses daggers for now.  We may change it to a Swallow, just like Serge, but we're not quite sure.  But i'm trying to figure out how to change the normal attack graphics instead of it being all blue fire flying at enemies.  If we can figure this out, we could truly change every aspect of Ct.  This is almost weird because this maybe the only project with so much graphical stuff.  If my team can't do this, then i'll put on the full responsibilty of creating the game myself if i have to.  I want the world to know what you can do to ct and not just be limited to certain aspects in the game.  This all for now, but expect more stuff coming soon.
               ALSO, if i can figure out how to change the Menu's X-Y coordinates and stuff.  I'll completely give the menu a make over to look more futuristic :).  So, even the menu will be changed.  Also, the text is being changed as we speak, but there's a few issues with it atm.  Like I said, everything is going to be different.

      I kinda wonder if this talking I did would interest more people to help out >_>.  We could actually use anyone right now for any job!  So basically everyone can join to help for:

Coding - Temporarily me or permenently (depends if anyone wants to)
Spriting - Me and BlueThunder!  (me temporarily)
Map Making - Nightmare
Plotters - Kazuki is only one so far
Music Remixer using tf - None

All positions are still open for people.  If someone joins the coding i may do partial of it or i may quit the coding.  If i do i will most definately be spriting.  But if no one joins spriting i'll be coding.  If they're both packed with people then i'll do a little of both.

Coding - 1-3 people
Spriting = Need as many people as we can get
Map Making - 1-2 more would be welcome
Plotters - 1-3 more welcome
Music Remixer - 1-4 people

         ALSO, I may change the pendulum cause it's not really a CT game.  Hard to explain it a bit, it's a ct game but not a ct game.  But yeah you get the point of how far we can change this project.

This looks really cool.  I'm happy some people can do this and understand.  I can't really.  I just had two comments.

1. If the guy needs help, he'll be less likely to document because that just adds to the time needed to making the game. And..

2. "ALSO, I may change the pendulum cause it's not really a CT game.  Hard to explain it a bit, it's a ct game but not a ct game.  But yeah you get the point of how far we can change this project."  If I'm able to give you some input, the pendulum doesn't mean a CT game, but gives the feeling of time, in my opinion.  If the story has an aspect of time, I personally think it fits.

Good luck, I hope you get some talent soon.

Good point, I may just recolor the Pendulum to represent a differnet kind of dimension or something.  Maybe I could even somehow combine a picture into the pendulum so it looks a little different :P

Doesn't the graphic still rotate if you change it? This would be hard to make something else than a pendulum if so. Combining a picture in the pendulum works though.

Chrono Trigger - Time's Illusion

--------Help Wanted-------- (Last time, if no help this project is going to go slowly)

Spriters: We don't need many, just bout 1-3 more at minimum.  I'm still working on Guile, and the heroes so that kinda knocks me in that for a bit.

Coders: Not really NECESSARY but would be kinda nice.

Map Builders: Was Nightmare975, but he hasn't responded with anything for over 2 weeks so he's gone basically.  I guess I could do this if I have time, but we really need one.

Music Remix: Vargose is this and inserts music.  This is really up to him if he wants people to do it or not.

Documenter (This position seems ridiculous but could be nice): Basically writes down stuff that we explain and/or find to him, so the people on Compendium could use it for further use, or just to help us keep track.

This project was originally, Me, Vargose, Kazuki, Nightmare, and BlueThunder.  But Kazuki is busy working on something and doesn't want us to talk so I can understand that.  But Nightmare and Bluethunder haven't said one word for awhile now so that kinda knocks all our members out cept Vargose.  I don't know whereelse to ask for people to help with this project.  So i'm kinda hoping this place could help.

If you'd like to be apart of this project just either, PM me, talk to me on aim, or just make a post in this thread.  If you're a spriter, and you want to join, just send a small example of what you can do.  I'll try to contact BlueThunder so if we do get another spriter, you guys could work together but if not i'll have to work with him.

That is all I wanted to say.  Ciao for now.

Also a small update on the subtile things.  From what I can see, the reason why the subtiles don't change sometimes is because the priority of them is set to false.  Even if you set to true and save and stuff, it still reverts which I don't understand why...I was guessing maybe had something to do with a certain layer not allowing it but it could be just a fail-safe or something.

2 questions

1, is this game taking place in the future?

2, is there going to be dimensional splits, time travel, or neither?

Yes it takes place in the future.  Yes, there's time travel.  We don't know about dimensional splits.
