Chrono Crisis

Wow....dunno how I missed this, but this game looks -really- well done. And I disagree with Marcus' comment (If a game is gonna be a fan game, so be it...i hardly consider doing what you love to be a waste).

But anyway....The detail you're putting into everything is nothing short of amazing for -any- game. I'm really looking forward to seeing more once you have it

Aye, People have been hassling him about that from the start, childishly mocking the project and trying to get him to give it up (not talking about Marcus here or even really anybody in this thread as much as I am past events from another site). Some people's opposition to fangames can be quite petty in the RPG Maker community.

In the end, It's just a hobby. For alot of people it's not about creating the next "OMG! Innovation and originality up the wazoo!" project as much as it is having fun and experimenting with the characters and universes they've grown to love. It adds a lil more passion and inspiration for some people that wouldn't normally be there otherwise.
 
Hey, if what you wanna do is make a fangame, then I say go for it! This quality of work here is simply godly... anyways I really do look forward to a release sometime soon!
 
Honestly? I find people who basically use ideas from previous games then try to claim it as their own game far more disingenuous. I can't tell you how many rm2k/3 games out there could basically change their title to Final Fantasy Gaiden and not have to change a SINGLE THING inside the game, and the title would fit. So if you like a game, you can "get inspired" by it and take all its good ideas and call it your own game, or you can do a fangame. Would this time traveling game be better if it were called "The Paradox" or something like that, and all the direct Chrono refferences were altered just slightly? I dont think it would, and forgive my generalizations but that's what MANY of the fangame complainers do in a nutshell.
 
Don't let that stop you. It doesn't matter if it's a fan game. Just keep working hard on it, and I'm sure it'll be an awesome outcome. ^_^

Just like making games is a hobby, playing them is one too. If you post your game for public viewing, you're going to get comments. I understand and respect that it's your game and you can make it about flying underwear if you want, but if you show it to me, I WILL comment on it. That's kind of the whole point to internet forums; you know, friendly discussion among strangers in a relaxed environment.

The thing about fan-games is that they all suck. I've played a few good ones, but they still pale in comparison to original games. I still await the one day a good one is made but until then, I just don't care.

Personally, I just think it's a waste of talent. Chains of Fate has A LOT OF TALENT but instead of striving to move homebrew scene FORWARD, fan games just keep them rooted in one spot. This is just like the guys who were making that awesome Chrono Trigger 3D remake. When Square told them to cease and desist, they simply said "lol canceled." Had they made something original they would have probably finished it and we'd all be playing an excellent game.

But like I said, it's your choice. There's an amazing graphical direction with this and I'm glad it's a lot more original than the previous versions which used all CT graphics (I still have one of the original RM2K3 demo's on my computer). I've followed Chrono Crisis since it was first announced and I've been unconsciously waiting a full release since then but now, seeing the new direction, it's moreso than ever.

Hopefully this game won't turn into another DUKE NUKEM FOREVER (or one of my projects for that matter). You know, VAPORWARE.
 
Yeah...but just basically sdaying 'lol yer game sukz cuz it fan!' is kinda immature. You can say 'this looks good, but I'm really not into it because it's not a fully original project' than that's fine

I'm just sick of people ragging on a game when it's a 'fan game'...if it's good...does it really matter?

my original post

*sigh* Oh well, it's your decision to make whatever you want and even though I'm generally opposed to fan games I have to say that this looks awesome in every way.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for this game as it's one of the few RMXP projects that has me interested but I just personally believe it would do better as an original game.

That was my fault. The only name that popped up in my head was Lapanese when I meant Chains of Fate (so I fixed my post).
