Explanation on the accent(s)


In a majority of the e-mails I get telling me about “bugs” and from what I read on message board topics about this game, people have an issue with what I’ve done with “Agent 86”, he intentionally talks like this. Here are the reasons why, and note, that the accent “Agent 86” has will not change.

1) Agent 86 was originally Agent 12, one of the original CE developer’s attempt to write himself into the story.

2) I changed this character dramatically by adding this simple accent because this project is NOT endorsed (and never will be) by the Chrono Compendium.

3) This accent is in the game to draw away from the overly serious tone of certain moments in the game.

4) It is meant to add a small drop humor to everything.

5) It is a game, enjoy it, and don’t take it seriously.

The Christmas Release! :D

This build is the RubyDragoons way of saying “Merry Christmas”, as this is a very special build of Chrono Trigger: Flames of Eternity. This is the first publicly available build that is fully SNES9x compatible! Whichlucca_sketch1sm means… YOU CAN PLAY THIS ON ANYTHING.
As that isn’t the only part, here is the changelog from Dark_Schnider
”Added the Belthasar's side quest dialog.
Fixed Kasmir's name in his final battle. (It is no longer Guardian and Bit)
Some other minor changes.”
*These 'other minor changes' are actually remixed music. :P

Here is some more AMAZING FoE art from the EXTREMELY Talented “Kame Turtle”, as this is obviously Lucca –>

This is the link to the latest build.
Also here is a megaupload link, as someone requested one.

Merry Christmas!!

And as always…
Share and Enjoy.

Good news for all. As those testers who have e-mailed me have given back positive results on functionality on the SNES9x build. king_zeal_1smIn my own personal testing, this build works find on my Wii, PSP and anything else that runs SNES9x.

Updated CTM package with recent release of the Build


Greetings!

I have put together an updated CTM package with the 02 December build in the folder as well for play now!

This is the link to it! Just unzip, run CTM.exe and you're good to play.

Share and enjoy!

~Giro

PS: When you play this build, USE ZSNES!! You'd be using ZSNES if you're playing it with the CTM. As I personally test every 'bug complaint' that's e-mailed to me. 95% of the 'technical issues' are related to using FoE in an incompatible emulator.

Big News!

This is the update we have been working on for quite a while. This latest build includes the new ending scene within it. Due to a lot of effort by Dark3mx, the scene is now working properly and in the game.

Here is the link to the new build!
Again, if you need directions for updating the game within CTM, please, write me.

As always,
Share and enjoy.

With much love
~Giro

EDIT: This means that the main story for FoE has been fleshed out. All further updates are done to put more polish (fixing typos, modifying the techs, squashing little bugs) onto the game. Which means the occasional update here and there.

Tweaking


I’m working on tweaking and putting the finishing touches on the latest patch. I still need to consult a few sources but it will be done soon. I will be making the two week deadline I promised. Open-mouthed smile
