[News] Chrono Trigger: Prophet's Guile released!

Article on Chrono Compendium

So after many months of work, the staff of the Chrono Compendium have successfully completed their pet project, Chrono Trigger: Prophet's Guile, a major ROM hack of Chrono Trigger starring Magus and his life in the Kingdom of Zeal. It's the first Chrono Trigger hack ever to feature a brand new story, new scenarios, and artwork. While the game is short, roughly the length of 3 Chrono Trigger "scenarios", it attempts to elaborate on the life of Magus before his involvement with Crono's team, with some cleverly scripted scenes. The game was developed to stir up interest in the ROM hacking community again, which Zeality says has grown stagnant over the past few years, using the Chrono Trigger editing tool "Temporal Flux" released in 2004.

The game itself is actually an IPS patch for the English Chrono Trigger ROM, which you can download from the above link and apply yourself. A follow-up game, Crimson Echoes, which will help bridge the gap between the first game and Chrono Cross, is already in the works, which C99 says is around 25% complete.

As a fan of ROM hacks, this is pretty exciting! Has anyone else gotten a chance to fiddle with this?

Jam it back in, in the dark.
