I decided to condense all the stuff I released in one topic.
This way it will be more easy to people notice and offer their help/make coments, like I stated before.
Remind that all of these are work in progress, and I'm still looking for help, if interested.
May 15, 03 - 11:30 AMA few weeks ago i started this project. I know i won't ever be able to finish this, but for now i'm doing it for fun. I've always wanted to see the chrono universe in full 3d. I'm using the unreal warfare engine for now.
Obviously this isn't finished and it sucks but some people might like them. Until i'm in possession of 3dmax5 i can't continue my work because it's missing one texturing tool in 3dmax4.2.
Robo (WIPLavos (WIP)May 17, 03 - 8:49 AMIn the future that hud, the gun and the player will disapear. That won't be a Unreal game with chrono stuff it will be Chrono Trigger made in the Unreal Warfare Engine (if i would ever finish that, bah...). The engine is very plastic i can do whatever game i want with it, i only need the experience and the knowledge to do it... Anyway, i'm doing the models and other stuff in 3dmax, i can incorporate them in any engine i want, i thought in some good game engines to do the game and the advantages/disadvantages with them:
Neverwinter Nights:
Good
-Easy to actually build the entire world.
-Multiplayer.
-The game a RPG.
-Easy scripting.
Bad
-Can't change easily the battle/game systems.
-Dificult to incorporate new 3d stuff.
-Low poly engine.
-Scripts is in a Java/NWN mixture.
Unreal Warfare:
Good
-Easy doing ingame cut-scenes.
-Multiplayer.
-Awesome 3d engine with pixel shaders and other stuff.
-Plastic engine.
-Scripting in C,C++, i think C# and Unreal Script.
Bad
-Have a lot to change in the game because it's an FPS.
-Difficult to do the zones comparing to Morrowind.
Morrowind
Good
-RPG.
-Good engine.
-Scripts in C++.
-The game loads the zones into a world with no loadings.
Bad
-No multiple worlds can be loaded, i guess.
-Almost impossible to change the battle engine without being the original programmer.
May 26, 03 - 2:34 PMWell, the Unreal Warfare engine is well capable in online stuff, but if we want something in the near future I need help finishing it. You can apply at
thebrain17@hotmail.com, write [Apply] in the subject. Please only send something if you are really interested in doing something and/or if you have any special skill like "3d modeling, animating, drawing, etc..." you got the idea.
May 29, 03 - 2:19 PMFinished some models for Cronos House
New Screen 2003/05/29What do you ppl think?
May 30, 03 - 10:47 AMThat gun will disapear, the game will be in 3rd person view. I only have Robo half finished thats why i'm not showing the model ingame.
Again, it's not a Crono Mod, you won't be able to fire real or Unreal guns and kill everything you see like in a FPS. What I'm trying to do is a remake of the game using the Unreal Warfare Engine with CT battle system, etc ( don't expect me to have the skills to finish this, lol, at least alone ). I'm only using the UT2003 version of the Unreal Engine because i don't have the money to licence Unreal Warfare.
Thats a Crono picture in the corner i've made it look like it was hand painted though, lol (don't worry it isn't scribbled like in Chrono Cross).
Ok, i'll post one more pic, but next time I'm only posting when I've got significant changes in the Kitchen or else you may think that this unfinished, ugly, bugged stuff will be final and loose interest.
New Screen 2003/05/30Ignore the UT Hud this time. I didn't change the angle much because that's almost the only corner that has models (Crono room has only a desk and a chair), remember that every model has to be built new, I can't pick them from other games.
I'm also working in the Chrono Trigger opening with the swinging pendulum but I need a huge hi-quality image of the game tittle, the one that says "Chrono Trigger" with the half clock face in the C, if anyone can help finding one, please say so.
Jun 26, 03 - 3:36 PMMmm, i should have waited to finish this before i posted here, but since now i'm busy with the college exams, i won't have a lot of free time to work on the game.
You can clearly see that this is a work in progress, for instance, there's a WHOLE missing window in there . Don't mind the UT hud again, and the repeating Chrono pictures in the frames, that's the one i've put on default before I replace them with something more acordingly. If you have any ideas on what to put on them please post .
What do you think?

I may release an Hi-res version of the teaser if there are demand.
