CTNP... Finished when?

[Exodus]

Square-Enix would never allow the novelisation of copyrighted material. Let alone by amateur writers. Something that has also disturbed me is the total lack of content; the project was started back in 1996. It is now 2006. From what I've heard you have yet to finish a single chapter.

What is the deal with this project? Why has there been no progress? Why hype something that is nowhere near completion? I'd like to see some proof that this project has even gone past conceptual stages. Put up or shut up, that's the key.

Have you even gone to his website? He's got up some chapters for previewing.

Excerpts from chapters; this does not conclude that the chapters themselves are completed.

Ever hear of demos? Video games do it all the time, why can't a book?

Said excerpts are from 2003.

Okay, so I don't check dates that often(never). You win this round...

Are we talking about the excerpts or the demo chapters?

[Exodus]

I concede that these chapters do exist, and take back my comment that the CTNP has yet to write a single chapter. However, according to Zeality, those demo chapters (up to chapter 2, I believe) are from 2003 as well, furthering the implication that CTNP has had no fresh content in the last three years.

I'm not sure, but I remember reading on the CTNP forum that he won't release anything until he release the completed novel. Kinda like Chrono Crisis actually, no demo, just the finished stuff.

He was planning on not releasing anything until completion, but once realizing how old the demo chapters are, he will be revising and re-releasing them. I'm a CTNP forum regular so trust me on this.
