'''This page is reserved for viable, completed, and abandoned Fan Projects.''' For a fan project to appear here, it has to pass a test of viability at [http://www.chronocompendium.com/Forums/index.php/topic,656.0.html this thread]; we cannot afford to spend time encouraging impossible projects or efforts without any real knowledge or drive behind their completion. Do you need a forum to develop your fan project? Check out [http://www.chronocompendium.com/Forums/index.php/topic,656.0.html this thread] and see if your project meets the requirements.

Five years have passed since Crono and the others defeated Lavos and erased him from existence and the year is now 1005 A.D. Crono and Nadia, now married, have a son, Rowan.Since the King is ruling the kingdom, they continue to live in Crono's house,(which is bigger)where they spend their days in happiness, often visiting the castle, to visit "Grandpa Guardia", as Rowan calls him. Lucca has been running an orphanage ever since she found a baby, Kid, in the Guardia Forest. She continues to invent things in her spare time (with the help of her cousin Luccia from Porre.) In 610 A.D. (you'll understand why it's 10 years rather than 5 in the game) Glenn, (still in his frog form) is now the honorable knight captain, and trains the eager young Tata the ways of the knight in his spare time.

"One year ago, Crono, Marle, and Lucca decided to change history. They traveled through time, overcame many obstacles, and defeated what we call 'Lavos'. Over the course of time, there were many casualties. One of them was Princess Schala of the Magical Kingdom, Zeal.

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.
+
Please note: this hack does include the New Game+ feature, despite what was stated in one of the reviews for the project. Feel free to contact the hack’s author if you encounter bugs. Thank you.

====Chrono Trigger 8-bit====
  
−
Chrono Trigger II: Brink of Time is for any fan of the first chrono trigger. It will have a great story following up to after CT, not Chrono Cross. It is being made using RPG Maker 2k3. A new good story, with your favourite playable characters and some good mini games, will ensure leisure for any Chrono Trigger fan. New confirmed PC's will be Schala, and Johnny. Many new mini games are planned, and a whole new set of NPC's will be added with the older ones. CTII:BoT's story starts off in 1004, ad, where the ct gang celebrates their 3rd annual Lavos De-Fate Pary. Here the gang performs for the people and fun is all that is in their joyful life. Everything is perfect. Crono becomes king of guardia and marries Marle. Then..... something goes wrong. One after another, problems start to occur. Now, a new quest has been bestowed upon Crono and the gang. Plus, they will have new frineds to venture with, and all new sidequests. Future plans of having CTII BoT ported to ps1,ps2 or xbox have not been confirmed, but will be in consideration near the end of the project. The Computer version will be for Windows 95/98/200/ME/XP and will have FMV sequences similar to the playstation Chrono Trigger. All this and more awaits you at the Brink of Time. "Fate lies in the Brink of Time". For more info on the Demo release date visit [http://s3.invisionfree.com/Chrono_Trigger_2/ The Forums].

==Chrono Trigger Arcade Game==

A favorite pastime of certain Chinese bootleggers and ROM hackers is converting games like the Final Fantasy series to run on NES or Famicom cartridges (which you'd call an 8-bit port). "Converting" may be misleading, since it involves the creation of new data, not the modification of the old Chrono Trigger in this case. Well, as these pages illustrate, someone's done it for Chrono Trigger:

By the title alone, most of you are probably thinking, "Oh, God...not ANOTHER remix project!" It's true that in recent weeks, a slew of new projects (some good, some just unnecessary) have been started up, most of them with no goal in mind other than the remixing of a complete game's ST. I can assure you, however, that as far as this project goes, that is not the case.  
+
The Rise of Magus is an original platformer built in Game Maker 7 and inspired by the character Magus from Chrono Trigger. The game is a .exe file, and so can only be played on Windows machines currently. No installation is required - the entire game exists within that single file.
  
−
The point of this endeavor (which I share with six well-established and very talented remixers, as well as somebody I'm proud to call an expert in this subject matter) is not to pit songs against each other and see who can remix theirs best or fastest, or whatever else the case may be; in fact, less than half of our source game material is going to be used, not because the rest isn't good (God knows that isn't the reason), but because it isn't needed.
+
===RPGMaker Classic Games===
  
−
First off, let me explain the project's goal: my constituents and I, for over a month, have been planning to make the Chrono Trigger movie soundtrack.
+
====Chrono Chronicles====
  
−
Your first thoughts are probably along the lines of, "There's a Chrono Trigger movie?!" or, "What the hell kind of idea is this? We already have 58 CT mixes." Let me answer both of those.  
+
[[Image:chrono_chronicles_title.jpg]]
  
−
NO, there isn't any Chrono Trigger movie. However, there IS a script that I've painstakingly written in the past month (link at bottom of post), updated a multitude of times (8 or 9 by my count), and put to exacting standards. Some changes had to be made (noticeable ones being the removal of two main characters, Ayla and Robo) and the removal of almost two-thirds of the game's sequences. The result, however, is a 130-page script (roughly 2 hours and 10 minutes of screen time without title or ending credits) that encompasses the game's storyline, characters, conflicts, and adds a crapload of emotional charge and character development, both of which are somewhat lacking in the game. Plus, I have three years of screenwriting credit and classes under my belt, so this is not unfamiliar territory...the script is, without ego, top-notch.  
+
Chrono Chronicles is an RPGMaker2003 game made by Lance7586. Download it [http://rpgmaker.net/games/299/ here] and watch a preview [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-ZMkE3ejAE here].
  
−
And YES, we do already have 58 (going on 59) CT mixes, though, arguably, nearly half of them aren't all that high in quality (no names). But the point of this project is not to create a buttload of mixes that can be posted on OCR. The point of this project is to fully cover the script/movie with whatever fully-orchestral, realistic musical interpretation it needs in order to be as authentic as possible.
+
====Chrono Trigger 2====
  
−
Before I go any further, let me acknowledge the others that are as-yet involved in this operation (meaning, they've agreed to participate).

At the end of time the battle took place that would decide the destiny of mankind.
  
−
And now, here are some additional details.  
+
Lavos the extraterrestrial creature emerged from the depths of the earth to destroy the entire existence of life but a group of unsung heroes managed to defeat and end the ambition of the monster.
  
−
PROJECT LAYOUT
+
The continuous cycle of life heroes and victors returned to the time that they belonged. Because of his exploits they were recognized as heroes.
  
−
-This project will begin with an audition stage, which will last three weeks (until November 5th), during which point every interested remixer (including those listed above - sorry) must create a 3 minute-long version of the main theme, under the guidelines linked to at the bottom of this post. This stage will do four things: 1) it will allow me to see how well each particular person is at orchestral and orchestration, since this entire project will be orchestral only; 2) it will allow me to see how able each mixer is when it comes to mixing under action-based rules; 3) it will determine a line-up of people capable of creating this kind of entity; and 4) it will provide me with plenty of soundfont packages to choose from, in order to obtain the most realistic-sounding of them all.  
+
But despite everything they would meet again soon...
  
−
-After auditions, the mixing stage will begin, during which every interested party will vye for whatever particular scenes they wish to mix for (the OST listing, including length requirements and recommended songs, is linked to at the bottom of this post). More details will be given on this particular stage when the time comes for it to be started. During this stage, no song is final until the basic objectives of the project are met: cohesion, realism, and foundation within the script.

-The entire project (with the notable exception of the end credits theme) will be orchestral. This means, specifically, the use of only brass, woodwinds, strings, and percussion. This means, also, that synths, piano, and guitar are strictly prohibited. Think of a great classical movie ST (Lord of the Rings, The Last Samurai, King Arthur, Star Wars even) and how they use a studio-based orchestra. Exactly. We're aiming for that.
+
===Mini-Games===
  
−
-One free-to-download, realistic soundfont set will be used for every song in this project. Why, you ask? Because realistically, as stated by one particular remixer (name withheld), you can't expect such a large group of people to make similar-style mixes, even if they are based around the same thing. I'm not hell-bent on that aspect; however, if everything is based on the same script and uses similar instruments, we can at least imagine that the same orchestra played every song, which is the "cohesion" and "realism" objectives of the project.
+
====Chrono Killer====
  
−
-The OST listing includes 25 songs (a total of 94 minutes of music, roughly) that includes MANDATORY lengths and RECOMMENDED songs. Yet again, that is RECOMMENDED songs. Those songs were chosen from the Chrono Trigger official ST (http://www.zophar.net/zsnes/spc/ct.rar) and best exemplify the mood, characters, and status of each situation. Do you have to abide by them? For the audition stage, yes. For the mixing stage, no. But, let me make this clear right now: the only source tune to be used more than once is "Far-Off Promise", meaning that if there's a conflict of usage, it will be sorted out; also, every time "Far-Off Promise" is recommended, which is twice, it must be used exclusively.  
+
Chrono Killer is a fighting game that uses the Beats of Rage engine. It's available [http://www.megaupload.com/?d=14KNDG6C here].
  
−
-As stated previously, there is no Chrono Trigger movie, and there is not one planned, fan-made or otherwise. However, several people have expressed interest in advertising the concept, and I'm sure that if my script and the finished project get into the hands of the right people, anything is possible. So please, no "OMG WEN S TEH MOVI CMGX OUT D00D LOLZ!!!11" I knoweth not.
+
====Chrono Trigger Action!====
  
−
-As for the "foundation within the script" objective stated earlier, I mean exactly that. If, for example, somebody were to make the track covering Marle's disappearance through the Millennial Fair timewarp, it would start out as a calmer, though slightly edgy piece, and evolve (as she was found out by the guards) into a faster-paced piece, that eventually culminates in a powerful closing, while Crono dives into the Gate after Marle and the timewarp closes. Then, it would peter out a bit, more despairing, as Lucca ponders what's happened. Basically, every song must be able to fit over the scripted action of the movie, enhancing it scene-for-scene, emotionally charging the action. However, there are some things left open...for instance, the fight with Magus isn't fully scripted, allowing for the remixer to imagine whatever conflict they like, and conduct for it accordingly. Also, a few songs are themes for locations or situations and will be used multiple times, allowing the remixer to simply make something that can fit over many similar events. This is all noted in the OST listing.

Anyway, please feel free to ask any questions you like, express interest in the project, post your finished audition pieces, or whatever else. Just, please don't do the asshole thing and berate the project as just another remix project. If you take the time to understand this idea, you'll see that this is very much unlike anything else yet attempted, and has a great chance of success.

Chrono Trigger Novel Project Mission Statement
+
===Music Remixes and Projects===
−
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.
+
====Chronological Gangster====
  
−
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.
+
Chronological Gangster is a Jay-Z mixtape done by [http://www.myspace.com/thespecialist1983 The Specialist], using music from both Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.
  
−
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.

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 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.

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.

The Chrono series community is full of many creative ideas and projects. The Chrono Compendium welcomes fan projects and offers its support to fan projects that are viable.

This page is reserved for viable, completed, and abandoned Fan Projects. For a fan project to appear here, it has to pass a test of viability at this thread; we cannot afford to spend time encouraging impossible projects or efforts without any real knowledge or drive behind their completion. Do you need a forum to develop your fan project? Check out this thread and see if your project meets the requirements.

Ongoing Projects

RPGMaker

Radical Dreamers +

RDPlus.png

Radical Dreamers + is a new version of Radical Dreamers made in RPGMaker 2003, and featuring music, sounds, and sights from all three Chrono games, as well as a custom battle/menu system. The project is headquartered at La Fin des Temps, the center of the French Chrono community.

Chrono Alter

Ctaltertitle.jpg

Chrono Alter is a revised version of Chrono Chronicles made by Lance.

"One year ago, Crono, Marle, and Lucca decided to change history. They traveled through time, overcame many obstacles, and defeated what we call 'Lavos'. Over the course of time, there were many casualties. One of them was Princess Schala of the Magical Kingdom, Zeal.

Now, in 1001 AD, the cogs of fate begin to turn once more. While Crono and Marle sit upon a mountaintop, they are drawn into a new world by what seems to be a resurrected Lavos.

After awaking in this new place, Crono realizes that Marle is no long with him. As his quest begins, he receives a letter from one who was thought to be dead.

He travels through this new land, meeting with his allies from across time, and he begins his quest to save time once more."

Small Games / Modifications

Card Sagas Wars

CSW is a fan project revolving around several video game franchises. It features Crono as a playable character, with other characters from the series making an appearance as allies in combat. Check out the list as of March 2008 by hitting this image:

Chrono Trigger: Prophet's Guile

See Chrono Trigger: Prophet's Guile.

Chrono Trigger: Schala Edition

This hack alters events of the game so that Schala of Zeal is rescued as part of the normal course of events. Schala remains part of the game world through the rest of the story and can be interacted with regularly.

Other changes include: an expanded version of the original Ted Woolsey translation, new items and Techs, new enemies and dungeons, new locations and NPCs, new shops and treasures, and a lot of surprises along the way. More alterations are explained in the readme.

Versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 of this hack were beta releases previewed for and playtested by members of the Chrono Compendium community. Thank you to everyone who participated, as this project would not exist without you.

Please note: this hack does include the New Game+ feature, despite what was stated in one of the reviews for the project. Feel free to contact the hack’s author if you encounter bugs. Thank you.

Chrono Trigger 8-bit

Ct8bit.jpg

A favorite pastime of certain Chinese bootleggers and ROM hackers is converting games like the Final Fantasy series to run on NES or Famicom cartridges (which you'd call an 8-bit port). "Converting" may be misleading, since it involves the creation of new data, not the modification of the old Chrono Trigger in this case. Well, as these pages illustrate, someone's done it for Chrono Trigger:

Read Cinnamon Pirate's article for all you need to know. It'd be nice if someone could make an NSF of the soundtrack, but it's likely that no one gives a damn.

The Rise of Magus

Screenshot110riseofmagus.png

The Rise of Magus is an original platformer built in Game Maker 7 and inspired by the character Magus from Chrono Trigger. The game is a .exe file, and so can only be played on Windows machines currently. No installation is required - the entire game exists within that single file.

RPGMaker Classic Games

Chrono Trigger 2

Ct2chronochronciles.png

Chrono Trigger 2 is an action RPG made in RPGMaker2003 and featuring the original cast. Found by Vehek, it's done in Spanish. Watch a Youtube preview here and download here. One of the prologue lines states:

Epilogue

At the end of time the battle took place that would decide the destiny of mankind.

Lavos the extraterrestrial creature emerged from the depths of the earth to destroy the entire existence of life but a group of unsung heroes managed to defeat and end the ambition of the monster.

The continuous cycle of life heroes and victors returned to the time that they belonged. Because of his exploits they were recognized as heroes.

But despite everything they would meet again soon...

Please click Chrono Symphonic for downloads and more.

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.
