Quote:The small development team behind fan game Chrono Trigger: Resurrection has posted some very disappointing news: they have received a Cease and Desist letter from Square Enix demanding they stop making their game. It seems after years of looking the other way, Square Enix has changed its policy on independently-created games honoring their own.
Perhaps it was the quality of the project that triggered this unprecedented response so far into development. Chrono Trigger Resurrection sports professional quality artwork that has further improved since its last showing. Here are a few samples of what you will now never be able to play:
The Chrono Trigger Resurrection site also has a trailer, which is currently down.
It truly is a shame the lawyers have interfered with something so promising. The team is not swayed, though, and is already planning something “new and fresh.” Our sympathies go out to Nathan Lazur, Luis Martins, David Ying, Mathew Valente and Michael Demirel for working so hard, only to have to walk away.
This project really had a lot of potential so it's sad that Square-Enix came down on them like this. Although, it's possible that SE is working on their own update, but it seems like kind of a slap in the face to the guys that worked on this game.
