===Chrono Trigger Prerelease Soundtrack Released=== - --ZeaLitY 16:12, 19 Sep 2004 (CDT)

Though the Prerelese section isn't finished due to maps being needed for the era entries, the CTP soundtrack has been released notwithstanding. It features a few tracks different from the final version's music, and can be found at Music (CTP).

===CTR Developer Speaks=== - --ZeaLitY 08:19, 8 Sep 2004 (CDT)

On OvercockedRemix.org, the developer of Chrono Ressurrection has offered more insight into the project and its discontinuation.

The only reason we decided to show it prematurely was because everyone who saw the project was telling us that we should show it to the public. I didn't see any harm in doing that. And, yes, Square has every right to shut the project down. I respect Square and their work over the years and I had no problem stopping the project under their request. It *is* their IP and their legal right.

Keep in mind, though, that we honestly didn't expect the project to get so big -- I know I didn't even think about that kind of exposure. And we weren't trying to play mind games with people out there, like you've suggested in so many jaded posts. We thought it would be cool to show what we were working on, that's all. Now that the project is closed, we'll be moving on to other things... Square sure did download the trailer a lot in the past day and a half, though... 1.6 GB of bandwidth just from their IP. I literally lost count of the number of unique visits.

===Chrono Ressurrection Discontinued; CTCC Savestate Pack 1 Released=== - --ZeaLitY 17:25, 6 Sep 2004 (CDT)

Chrono Trigger Ressurrection, an effort by third-party game developers to recreate ten scenes of Chrono Trigger in 3D, has been discontinuted after receiving a cease and desist order from Squaresoft. Blame lies in e-mails sent to Square asking for them to support the development team, given even in the warning of the project members that this might occur. Several images and a trailer have been left at the site in memory; they can be found here.

Additionally, I have released the first piece of my Chrono Trigger Comprehensive Collection of savestates. These are intended to allow access to any segment of the game. It can be found here.

SERITZO completed his upgrade of Demiforce's translation patch for Radical Dreamers, unlocking the use of in-game saves and fixing minor errors here and there, technical and grammatical. A few game-crashing errors have been negated as well. It can be downloaded from the Compendium:

Server Updates - August 11th, 2004 - 4:09PM CST by Ramsus

I've updated the server to run FreeBSD 5.2.1 instead of Slackware Linux, and I've upgraded MediaWiki to the latest CVS snapshot. Unfortunately, the monobook skin (as seen at Wikipedia) doesn't work with PHP5, so things are looking like they did several months ago.

Anyway, the site is usable and you can begin contributing by creating an account on the Log In page. If you're not sure where to begin helping, just contact Zeality, who coordinates all of the non-technical activities here at the site.
