Fan made Chrono Trigger remake stopped!

This is technically legal since it isn't being commercialized. But their isn't no EULA to this game per-se. If all things were like this, we wouldn't be seeing total conversions or remake mods for games.

It's a matter of stolen intellectual property. You can't just go and make a Street Fighter game and include Ken and Ryu and a slightly modified logo and expect it to be "legal" without Capcom's backing, even if you aren't commercializing it. At least not in the states. ;)

 

It's not like a total conversion because those use the mod-author's intellectual property. It's been a while since an ambitious mod based on someone else's property has been released. Something with a few minor "borrowed" elements might get through, because that typically isn't going to hurt the property owner any.

 

That said, those screens piqued my interest, and I didn't even like Chrono Trigger particularly. A "cease and desist" doesn't mean that Square hasn't taken an interest in the project. Potentially, this could mean a product nearing completion with a minimal production cycle for Sqenix, and a chance for the developers to have their names attached to a Sqenix game. Not a bad deal either way. It's just guesswork, but it could happen.
