You know how I was talking about not doing fan games? I was able to completely remove my Chrono Break idea from Chrono as a series and I already have something that completely stands on its own, with a battle system that combines and enhances those from CT and CC, and a cast that really doesn't need any returning characters.
Sure, it meant cutting a lot of cool ideas about the way Chrono loose ends could be tied up, but the original ideas are enough on their own for a game.
@bluestarultor yep, you're just asking for trouble doing fangames for corporate franchises
@FreyaManibrandr Yep. *Especially* anything Nintendo has their fingers in. I did some recent posts on it, but decided against linking this one to them.
TBH as much as I had some really cool and well-thought ideas that would have incorporated the existing characters, and unlike most Chrono fangames I understood and respected the lore (seriously, so many just wanted to undo Chrono Cross), I'd much rather do something cool for myself than a victory lap for someone else.
@bluestarultor I still remembered when they took down AM2R right before they announced their own M2 remake
@FreyaManibrandr Nintendo is the absolute worst about that. And of course they immediately kill anything that gets media attention.
But the absolute worst BS is taking down ROM sites when they have a vast library of great games and then turn around and provide their Big 3 classics and fill the rest with steaming shit nobody wants.
If those games are so important, maybe sell some of it once you're done downloading it prior to your C&D?
