−	Throughout the ages, great warriors touched by destiny have journeyed across space, time and dimension to save the earth, all life, and even time itself. As one danger was replaced by another, new heroes came forth to meet the challenge. But there is an untold story in the Chrono saga. The heroes who had crossed time to defeat Lavos and save the future still had a part to play. In the tumultuous time between two dynasties, an ancient foe reached from beyond oblivion to enact is final vengeance, and a new, yet familiar enemy arose. From the hands of the daughter of magic, captive in a prison of shadow, destruction was sown anew. Faced with the ruination of the peace which they had created, the time travelers were thrust into the heat of battle once again. The flames of valor which had ended the tyranny of Lavos were rekindled once more, because not only the fate of the earth was at stake, but all existence.

−	Chrono Trigger II: Brink of Time is for any fan of the first chrono trigger. It will have a great story following up to after CT, not Chrono Cross. It is being made using RPG Maker 2k3. A new good story, with your favourite playable characters and some good mini games, will ensure leisure for any Chrono Trigger fan. New confirmed PC's will be Schala, and Johnny. Many new mini games are planned, and a whole new set of NPC's will be added with the older ones. CTII:BoT's story starts off in 1004, ad, where the ct gang celebrates their 3rd annual Lavos De-Fate Pary. Here the gang performs for the people and fun is all that is in their joyful life. Everything is perfect. Crono becomes king of guardia and marries Marle. Then..... something goes wrong. One after another, problems start to occur. Now, a new quest has been bestowed upon Crono and the gang. Plus, they will have new frineds to venture with, and all new sidequests. Future plans of having CTII BoT ported to ps1,ps2 or xbox have not been confirmed, but will be in consideration near the end of the project. The Computer version will be for Windows 95/98/200/ME/XP and will have FMV sequences similar to the playstation Chrono Trigger. All this and more awaits you at the Brink of Time.

−	What a novel idea--the idea of writing what so many have wanted for years: A Chrono Trigger novel!	+	====Chrono Trigger 8-bit====
−	The CTNP is in existence for one main goal: To work towards the future publication and distribution of the Chrono Trigger novel written by Wayne (novelist@chronotrigger.info).  In reaching this goal, the project has been established as a comprehensive effort to rally support, spread information, publish a functional website for the cause, and, of course, create, edit, and gain reviews about this novel from other fans.	+	[[Image:ct8bit.jpg|200px|right]]
−	It is certainly the ultimate hope of this project that Square-Enix will soften their hearts, open their minds, and listen to what we RPG lovers have to say...A gaming novel industry is a successful industry!  With so many RPG's out there with rich storylines, (such as the one in Chrono Trigger), the scope of this single novel project could very easily broaden and pioneer the field of gaming novels to a new level.  The sure success of this CT novel would undoubtedly shine a bright light at the end of the tunnel for all great RPG's, including many that have been produced by Square themselves, meaning only good things for the company to come from this effort.	+	A favorite pastime of certain Chinese bootleggers and ROM hackers is converting games like the Final Fantasy series to run on NES or Famicom cartridges (which you'd call an 8-bit port). "Converting" may be misleading, since it involves the creation of new data, not the modification of the old Chrono Trigger in this case. Well, as these pages illustrate, someone's done it for Chrono Trigger:
−	Square-Enix must be brought to the enlightenment that this novel is a very serious effort and not just a comic, fanfic, or reminiscence of a great gaming story.  It is the full conversion of a very rich RPG story into a full-length novel that everyone (not just the gaming community) can enjoy.  To broaden the scope of RPG stories into the literary world increases the richness of the stories, allows the stories to be shared and compared with other published greats, makes parents happy by encouraging their children to read as a supplement to gaming, and opens and links both industries into a new, lucrative, and successful one.	+	*[http://www.geocities.jp/rinkaku89/pachigame3/65_fc_chrono.html Project's home page]

−	http://www.chrono-trigger.com	+	====The Rise of Magus====
−	The Chrono Trigger Remake Project is a total conversion for Unreal Tournament 2004 based on the Square-Enix game, Chrono Trigger. We are working to achieve a fun remake true to the original game with a few cool revamped things (such as mini-games, side quests, new events, and a co-op mode). The Chrono Trigger Remake Project team intends to build up their experience with this task of remaking the original CT, while having fun recreating their favourite scenes, characters, and locations from the original game. This project is a just a tribute, and should be conisdered equal to any fanart or fanfiction already existent over the internet. In the future the Project might move to the next Unreal engine in order to have the best engine there is. If our experience lets us, we might even try to build an engine ourselves or use the Unreal Engine 2 Runtime and thus allow people who don't have Unreal Tournament 2004 to play this awesome game.	+	*[http://www.silentellipsis.com/riseofmagus/ Download and Information] ([http://www.chronocompendium.com/Forums/index.php/topic,7419.0.html Discussion])
−	The Project's main objective is to totally recreate the feeling of the original game, in a way the old fans may remember how it was played the original deal back in 1995 while the new players enjoy the game with reworked graphics. That way it will be possible to select if the player wants to play the original work (in 3D of course) or the new mode with the added exras (mini-games, side quests and events). If time and our skills permit, a multiplayer mode will be added, where players can battle each other or play through the game with a companion. This Project isn't easy and shouldn't be taken lightly; we're serious, even if it takes 5 years or more to finish this project, we will work slowly, but we won't disregard our quality standards -- we will release soomething worthy of the Chrono Trigger name. The Project is a fan made tribute and doesn't intend to harm in any way the awesome Square Enix Chrono franchise; that way, you will be able to obtain the game free when it's released. If by any means we don't achieve our game quality standards, we won't release the game. Chrono Trigger is a masterpiece in its original format, and should not be disrespected in any way.	+	[[Image:Screenshot110riseofmagus.png|400px]]

The Chrono series community is full of many creative ideas and projects. The Chrono Compendium welcomes fan projects and offers its support to fan projects that are viable.

This page is reserved for viable, completed, and abandoned Fan Projects. For a fan project to appear here, it has to pass a test of viability at this thread; we cannot afford to spend time encouraging impossible projects or efforts without any real knowledge or drive behind their completion. Do you need a forum to develop your fan project? Check out this thread and see if your project meets the requirements.

Chrono Trigger 8-bit

A favorite pastime of certain Chinese bootleggers and ROM hackers is converting games like the Final Fantasy series to run on NES or Famicom cartridges (which you'd call an 8-bit port). "Converting" may be misleading, since it involves the creation of new data, not the modification of the old Chrono Trigger in this case. Well, as these pages illustrate, someone's done it for Chrono Trigger:

• Project's home page
• Chinese page on it
• Cinnamon Pirate's coverage in English

Read Cinnamon Pirate's article for all you need to know. It'd be nice if someone could make an NSF of the soundtrack, but it's likely that no one gives a damn.

The Rise of Magus

• Download and Information (Discussion)

The Rise of Magus is an original platformer built in Game Maker 7 and inspired by the character Magus from Chrono Trigger. The game is a .exe file, and so can only be played on Windows machines currently. No installation is required - the entire game exists within that single file.

Lavos the extraterrestrial creature emerged from the depths of the earth to destroy the entire existence of life but a group of unsung heroes managed to defeat and end the ambition of the monster.

The continuous cycle of life heroes and victors returned to the time that they belonged. Because of his exploits they were recognized as heroes.

But despite everything they would meet again soon...

The mission of this project is to fully orchestrate the incredible music of Chrono Trigger, in order to create a soundtrack befitting the Chrono Trigger movie, as scripted by this project's leader and originator. In doing so, we hope to achieve a level of professionalism and cohesiveness unwitnessed in recent Chrono Trigger projects, and create a product that is both wholly enjoyable and entirely encompassing of its textual foundation. Our mission is, in its purest form, to create a lasting and self-sustaining soundtrack that will be listened to for many years to come, and considered a cornerstone of the Chrono Trigger universe. To do this, we rely upon the most talented remixers in the world, those of the OCReMix forums, whose combined works have reached many thousands upon thousands of ears, and whose combined skills will ensure a compilation of songs worthy of any movie, fan-based or otherwise. This is our mission.

Chrono Tied

• Website

"Chrono Tied is a project thought up by DJ Nerd42 to mashup the vocals from Fort Minor's "The Rising Tied" album with the Chrono Trigger soundtrack, as heard on the Chrono Trigger Mixtape instrumentals. I'm way too lazy to really focus on this but every now and then I'll throw a track together."

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, be sure to check out the website in case there's a song available. There are a few left!

Chrono Trigger OSV Remake Project

The Chrono Trigger OSV Remake Project began as a piano cover project by Wiesty and other contributors for Chrono Trigger in January 2005. It suffered a debilitating hard drive crash a couple years later, but was ultimately released in 2008 (with some tracks cut due to the hard drive loss).
