Hey guys, been a while eh? I think I write that everytime I come here. I bet if I loaded up journals I'd see the same opening...

Anywho, I thought I'd share a fan made project I worked on for the last few months. I dunno if some of you are familiar with an old SNES game called Chrono Trigger? It was a well received game back in the day and it still has a cult following.

Well I only recently played it and I understood why people loved it. So I thought I'd use the power of nostalgia as a means of gaining some reputation on the internet. I purposely chose to remake "The Kingdom of Zeal" in 3D as the song that plays in the original game has a huge fan base. It's called Corridors of Time and there are tons of remixes on Youtube alone.

So I remade the Kingdom of Zeal but I didn't stop there. I decided to make it in the style of Zelda: Wind Waker. A nice way to gain attention dont you think?

Anyway if you're here for the link, here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vMHSiYiB55s

Hope you enjoy it. I'm gonna sit out in the sun for the next month after spending so much time working on this XD

Good to be back on TWHL by the way!

Ah, I love ct too. But I also remember someone getting sued by square over making a mod AND someone else also got sued for making a 3D remake. That was. Really sad.

Well i can understand. Its like if someone with no skill makes a crappy product using your property. Theyre only trying to protect it i guess.

Hell no, those project were extremely good. The one that was to recreate all major battles was really amazing. But Square likes to bitch around a lot.

Oh no don't get me wrong. I'm familiar with them and yes those are examples of good work but there are people are there that have made some extremely shittttttty fan tributes or games.

If I owned the property then yeah I'd tell them to stop. But you're right also, Square is backwards now. They don't seem to realise there's money to be made in FF7 / Chrono Trigger remakes. Maybe they do, they did say it'd require a lot of time and hard work to make a remake that met the quality of say FF13.

I prefer remakes to be seperate games anyway. Otherwise people moan the voices sound gay or a change in animation ruins the whole scene. Better to call it a reimagining like the Silent Hill game.

That's probably the most saturation I've seen from something in the unreal engine, heh. Its pretty cool, and you replicate the styles of both pretty well. I think my only two complaints are that the back of the island looks strange in how it 'converges', and that the air line loops happen too often and in the same places.

Very cool.

You've reminded me of just how much I want a Wind Waker sequel, dang.

Heh I agree with your crits Grim. I personally had enough of the project anyway.

Strider, you and me both.

Your video got onto Kotaku, so I guess it worked! Congrats and nice work :)

Rofl I kept emailing them once a day and it ended up being the experimental email that worked. I basically tried using the share feature on Reddit after seeing that damn Skyrim Bear video get noticed on the same site and voila.

Although for some reason they wrote down this took me a year when it was really less than 5 months XD

Thanks dude.
