How many of you think that the programming style of CC is a little weird? For example in the Truce Canyon scene he uses a background picture instead of constructing it using the tile set. Then in order to make in not possible to walk off the cliff he makes events that make dont let the sprite walk off into anywhere (copy&paste a ton of events). Also to compensate for the tile set limits he goes on to make events to finish a picture (see mountains next to Porre). While it gets the job done its a little hard work with and in the long run it will make life a lot harder for Chains of Fate.

Well in a lot of Square games they use pre drawn backgrounds final fantasy is one example. It makes sense though, it would be a lot less like putting a puzzle together, I think it makes the game overall look better.

In almost any game where there is an expance of room where you cannt go or even where they dont want to draw the back ground with the pixls that they have a predrawn background is used.

Truce Canyon was the only place constructed using a background picture, and some places yes I was forced to use events to finish areas due to tile size limitations. Now that Chrono Crisis is being made in RPG Maker XP this is no longer an issue. The game is also being executed a lot differently now, so don't worry, the next demo is going to be awesome.

I've played the demo a few months back and it was good, had bugs in it like doing the robo side quest when you have frog, you lose frog, and don't gain him back. but it's pretty good. of course Chrono Trigger pre-release had bugs as well.

hehe a screen shot from it, don't look if you don't want to be spoiled =D

Wait Chrono Crisis is a game, I thought that he was haveing a crisis with chrono trigger! Well then I am confused.....

Edit: It took a long time, but I found everything I needed to play it properly, including the font fixes. It seems that you have a good game developing. Keep up the good work!
