- A fan remake of the game was in development between the year 2003 and 2012. Their goal was to get the rights of Giten for a limited partnership[1], but it was cancelled for unknown reasons. Their only achievement was that they made a patch for the Windows version of Giten, a patch that regulates the Active Time Battle time periods between turns so it doesn't break due to high CPU Clock speeds.[2]
