Site Updates / Re: The Month That Could Have Been Announcement
« on: May 28, 2009, 11:50:41 pm »Second, I've heard rumors that Final Fantasy IV: The After Years was a ROM project that SE had also given the C&D to. Is there any truth to that?
And third, even if that rumor is not true, does SE have a copy of CE?
this is false, if you look at the screenshots you can tell that it is an original engine and not based on any other game.

« on: May 24, 2009, 04:49:09 pm »The "problem" may have been that the advertisements were just too high quality.
agreed, the crimsonechoes.com site was the clincher.
CE was literally the highest-quality product ever to have arisen from videogame modding culture.
that's a bit of a bold statement with all the other amazing work out there.
But here's an odd thing: during the viral advertisement run, CE was never described as a "ROM hack." Of course ROMhacking.net frequenters would already know what it was, but I think the CE team was going for a mysterious impression. People could have mistaken it for an ambitious Flash or RPGMaker project until it was actually released.
that can actually majorly work against you, Companies seem to have a lot less of a problem with a mod or extension of their own work rather than a brand new game using their assets. It makes it seem as though said creators of said game are trying to hijack their series and IP. I know that was not the intent of the compendium but that is how a company like Square would perceive something that is being advertised as it's own game rather than a rom hack.

« on: May 24, 2009, 08:30:24 am »Had it been released without any marketing, the entire release would have occurred smoothly. And there probably wouldn't have been any post-release problems...
However... What's done is done, so there's no point making "what if" or "had we just..." statements.
Now we face tomorrow. We face the beautiful future.
I know, I just think it's a valuable lesson to be learned for the future.
More over, is the Chrono Trigger Retranslation still on this site? It's still on RHDN, how is this any different than Prophet's Guile?
I would just like to see these inconsistencies addressed by the staff of this site.

as a preface, I am not suggesting anything.
that said, I believe that this action by SE legal was probably mostly to kill the hype, the word of mouth, the knowledge of the game to the mass market, and also to discourage game modification to the mass market. They don't want the vast majority of gamers to know about this and they certainly don't want more gamers creating content off of their IPs.
As you can see if a project is fairly low key then it gets no attention but when it is making headlines then it is a problem to them, gamers everywhere know about it and therefore they have to address it.
I would say that (and I'm not SUGGESTING it, just speculating) if this hack, or one much like it, were to come out a year or two from now, with no fanfare or publicity, then it would be completely ignored, if it was released to the fans of chrono compendium and other romhacking sites and spread modestly through word of mouth by those people on message boards, IRC, instant message and talking and phoning among friends then it would be ignored like so many other major rom hacks.
the main problem with this was the mainstream visibility, and I don't think it's that out of the question to say that if the same project was released much later, or another project done, that it would be ignored.
Thoughts?
I'm not trying to suggest any action, nor insult anyone, merely thinking about what made this different, I mean there have been many very in depth long hacks done before such as Metroid Redesign and Zelda Parallel Worlds but they had no C&D, I think it is when something is publicized that it really gets into deep water.

being this close to completion you know it's going to float onto the internet inconspicuously somewhere, and what can they do? Chrono Compendium does not condone it, forbids it, and denies it's existence. It'll come. The problem with SE was how much attention this was getting and that it had it's own website etc. You don't see them going after other fan hacks, it's just when one rises so high in popularity they have to have some sort of reaction or they'll get walked all over. Never-the-less I'm sure eventually we will see CE in some informal capacity.

Chrono Compendium Discussion / A call to reseeding both versions of the Chrono Series Music Archive
« on: April 18, 2009, 06:44:07 pm »
this is one of the biggest and comprehensive music collections of all time, the version that Zeality sent out for christmas has 0 seeds (I'm at 98% complete) and the other one which is 1995-2008 only has 4 seeds including myself. The two have a lot of overlapping content but they do have some unique content so it is important to seed BOTH of them.
If those of you who have downloaded and enjoyed these music compilations could start seeding them again, and even upload them to new sites to get more exposure that would be great. As soon as I get 100% on both torrents I am going to upload a torrent of them combined to several torrent sites that I know of and am just trying to get them alive and going again so many people can enjoy them, especially with the release of crimson echoes, a big shot in the arm to the chrono series, just around the corner. It would be good to have these torrents ready and seeded for returning fans.
thank you for your time.

EDIT:

Chrono Trigger: Prophet's Guile / Re: Buzz Tracking Thread
« on: January 13, 2008, 02:55:49 pm »Hah, I should show up at that group one day.
Yeah, a tileset introduction thread would be phenomenal. It'd really blow the lid off new, exciting worlds.
I wonder if I should start some kind of plot thread about my Radical Dreamers idea, just for the hell of it.
that'd be great

I've been spreading the word on this hack and there's been a great reaction.
just a small FYI, and not really a major concern, but when you get to the part when you transport to the ocean palace, if you are playing on a real SNES or in the emulator bsnes, it freezes, this was no problem for me as I just switched to ZSNES, teleported, saved, and picked it up in bsnes again. I was just letting you guys know because it has been verified on real hardware over at the Z-board.
cheers to an EXCELLENT hack though that is both intriguing and solid, can't wait for more from you guys
more bug reports pending.

ok, fair enough, you can understand how I don't know about secret projects with no news though right?
let me rephrase, it's one of the only active projects publicly known.
