Chains of Fate yesterday
posted on the Crisis forums concerning the prospect of turning Crisis into an original game named
Devil Theory. The issues at hand include the threat of a C&D, the possibility of greater audience and exposure with an original game, and the constant withdrawal of fickle team members who sign onto the project, do nothing, and go AWOL (haha...welcome to the Chrono community). The main counterpoint is that the team would receive greater exposure WITH a Chrono fan game (like mixtapes fledgling producers / artists pass around in the music industry) than with a 4th-party homebrew.
At any rate, Chains said they'd keep trucking with Crisis as long as they're able to find some help. They need the following talent:
[1] A concept artist
[2] A tile artist
[3] An artist to make finalized, colored pictures in a certain style
[4] Someone who can code in Ruby
[5] Someone to sprite magic effects
[6] Possibly another spriter to assist Lena (a tile artist, coder, and dedicated artists are what we need the most to keep the project alive). The forums are
here if you'd like to volunteer. And they need volunteers, not "hey I'll help!" --> 6 months later, "user was last active September 2007". If ultimately no one can help, that's fine; it's a lot better to acknowledge that than be teased for for months at a time by wafflers.
