The logo is by Chrono '99 (I believe), and the Death Peak background is by Luminaire. I simply painted in Crono's figure and the frozen flame and threw the logo on top.

Wow! :shock:

Looks like I registered at a good time, then.

Awesome. :)

@ all those who wish to beta test CE on consoles rather than computers:

Let the beta testing on the computer get done before anything else. Reporting bugs or anything of the sort whilst beta testing on an xbox or whatever could potentially delay progress. Besides, emulators used on consoles or handheld devices are glitchy either way so you could end up reporting a glitch that was caused by the emulator itself.
Wait until the final release to start bitchin about how the game freezes at point X on your PSP.

Oh of course. I wasn't talking about beta testing. Just a general compatibility check with different configurations of the SNES emulators on the PSP, to see if its playable (and if not, how far before any problems).

So hows the bugs coming, good I hope? Will we see the old April fools joke, something about a C&D letter, I think I would cry.... no, i know I would cry.... can't wait for this to be released. How long has it been since you've first started this project? like 2 years or something right? any who hope things are going smoothly.

Technically started November 2004.

Bugs are coming along fine, but the real time-consuming stuff is adding some final polish.

Development's hampered a bit because I'm in a ruthlessly difficult month of grad school.

I'm just now grabbing the demo and giving it a whirl. I'm very early in, but loving what I see from the dialogue -- which, I'll be blunt, I'm the kind of person that this is what matters most.

I did wish to inquire about one formatting alteration, though. Is there a reason the 'h' on 'house' is no longer capitalized in regard to Crono's and Lucca's locations? Or was it always like this for the SNES version? It's been a very long time since I played it on anything aside from the DS, so maybe my brain's foggy and you decided to uphold that. Or was it just a stylistic preference?

These are the sorts of things that grab me well before gameplay, so yeah.

Gotcha. Good times.

Well I got up to Chapter 2, but I'm going to call it quits for tonight. Been up for a couple of hours now running around in the demo. Great fun, though. I'll have a more thorough analysis once I'm done. Also, I'm assuming this is no longer an issue, but if by chance you need someone to spot grammatical issues within the demo, let me know. Again, I can't imagine it'd matter anymore, but still.

Yeah, I just read in another topic that the demo portion was basically some three years ago, so a.) obviously they don't need help polishing; b.) I think I'm going to stop playing and just wait until the official release later this month!
