It’s the start of something else, and with that fresh start come many struggles that are born in the intensity of game development. “I heard a lot of people speculate what this would feel like and I was never really sure what would happen when we finally hit launch,” says Simon Stafsnes Andersen, head of Owlboy maker D-Pad Studio. They can sit back, relax, and wait for the adulation and money to roll in. Years of work have finally reached a successful conclusion.
Release day for an indie developer sounds like it’d be a celebration. Especially one with such beautiful pixel art, which feels rooted in the original game's style but with far more detail than the Super Nintendo was capable of. "If the sequel that was planned years ago was revived, this is likely how I would do it."Įven so, it's nice to think about what could have been, in the alternate timeline where Chrono Trigger got another sequel. Andersen's video is just a mockup, which he's been working on for the past two months.

I had already known for years I wanted to explore a hypothetical sequel to Chrono Trigger, Cross and Radical Dreamers, but it took me a full year until I figured out how I wanted it to look," he wrote.Īndersen makes it as clear as possible that this is not an actual game project in development, and that's for the best-Square famously shut down a Chrono Trigger fangame, Chrono Resurrection, back in 2004. "After finishing a massive game project spanning a decade of development, I was ready to tackle a new series. This mockup of Chrono Break is the work of pixel artist Simon Andersen, who created Owlboy and worked on this project as a way to wind down from its long development. But if it did, maybe it would've looked something like this. Square Enix never talked about it directly, but here and there over the years some of the developers mentioned being interested in making a sequel. That hope was mostly fueled by a trademark for a game called Chrono Break, which was never officially announced. 15 years ago, there was still hope that the dream team behind Chrono Trigger would reunite to make another Chrono game.
