''Chrono Resurrection'', also known as ''Chrono Trigger: Resurrection'', is an unreleased fangame developed by North American team Resurrection Games under Nathan Lazur's direction. It is based on the critically acclaimed Super NES role-playing game ''Chrono Trigger'' by the Japanese company Square. The project was initially called ''CT64'' and was meant to be a complete remake of the original game for the Nintendo 64, with both 2D and 3D playing modes. After a first interruption in development, the project was redefined as a short interactive demo for Windows-based personal computers. New team members, including professional artists and designers, were recruited for the demo, which would feature ten scenes from ''Chrono Trigger'' and most of its playable characters. In 2004, the project was publicly closed after Square Enix issued a cease-and-desist letter to Resurrection Games for trademark and copyright infringement. Despite its closure, the project has received critical and popular praises. == Nintendo 64 version == Nathan Lazur initially planned to create a ''Chrono Trigger'' remake for the Nintendo 64, called ''CT64'', using GNU-based homebrew tools. Lazur's motivation for the project came in 1999 when playing ''Chrono Trigger'' and ''Super Mario 64''. The remake, developed by a team of four people, was Lazur's first attempt at creating a complete title. The game was intended to have two playing modes and the same battle system as the original.〔 The first mode would feature 2D and pre-rendered graphics enhanced with 3D spell and battle effects. Some of the effects created by Lazur would rely on software programming rather than the Nintendo 64 hardware, as the latter would not be capable of rendering them directly. The second mode would be a full 3D mode played in either regular or high display resolution, and would feature different level of detail textures depending on camera distances, to maximize clarity and performance. Both modes would be in a top-down perspective, although more cinematic camera angles, similar to those from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', were also considered for the 3D mode.〔 A gallery feature was also planned and would allow players to unlock bonus material depending on their progression in the game. Fan artwork and music would be unlockable through this feature, as well as minigames, including a card game similar to Triple Triad from ''Final Fantasy VIII''.〔 The remake was expected to be released on the Internet for free and played on console emulators, since there would be no cartridge version due to financial constraints.〔 Only a semi-working 3D test was actually completed, and the project was discontinued in mid-2000 due to a number of factors, including the accidental loss of Lazur's data and his desire to improve his programming skills.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chrono Resurrection」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
