Dont make a copyrigthed game.

http://www.opcoder.com/projects/chrono/

There is proof that you WILL get shut down if you make one without permission. Also, to be honest, why would anyone want to play your anime game? Or play your Final Fantasy Or game Based off Gunz...... Why wouldnt they just play the real ones?

But really, this was a truly great project. Its to bad they had to close it down, they worked really hard at it, they were a very lucky bunch to have such an experienced programmer leading the team.

Sorry to break your heart about your Naurato Game, but....... They will shut it down.

Man thats sad. It really looks awsome. But after all..
Square Enix doesn't care about fan games even though they are free.

Same goes with with other companies. blehh..
I hope this will be released as another stand alone game instead.

Man that game looked kickass, if you had to buy the game, Square Enix coud have asked / demanded that they get some amount of money off the sales. But atleast the people got a chance to get their programming skill up. I would really love to play but... well you know.

A lesson to be learned, I suppose. It always disheartens me greatly to see such huge amounts of work gone to waste. That's why I'm always so insistant on nagging people when they decide to make a 'fangame'. :/

(Edited the thread topic title; don't use misleading titles ;P)
(And made it a sticky. Maybe some people will learn something from their folly)

I think Square Enix hires a department to look for Chrono Trigger copyrighted games XD

Probably. I had a giant list of CT remake games, and about half of them got shut down..

Anyway...

... mostly becouse of fans that can't shut up.. That's the biggest problem.
They spam official game forums and post link about all fanbased games.

I wish some ppl could shut up.

I just lost my faith in makind...

Damn you Square-Enix...

Chrono Trigger was the best game ever created, but a 3D remake would've been amazing.

Omg it breaks my heart just to hear that CT:R had to shut down even though I didn't know one single bit of their current project.I hear dozens of Naruto MMORPGs, looks like they're going down once heard to public.CT:R man seriously the best that I have seen. [R.I.P]
