Gates to Infinity Demake is a project that aims to recreate Gates To Infinity in the form of an Explorers of Sky rom-hack. Made In celebration of GTI's 10th anniversary, this hack aims to recreate the original game as closely as possible with minor improvement along the way. With improvements such as more starters, faster text speed, improved graphics (very subjective), and reworked dungeons. This project is a work in progress and is constantly changing. 

 

Frequently Asked Questions:

  • Is this hack complete?

Not yet. While I plan to cover the entire game, It is currently just a demo for now.

  • When will this hack be complete?

Not for a while. It takes a lot of work to make rom-hacks, and considering how ambitious this hack is and that I'm only one person, it may take up to two years or more to complete. However, I will be updating the hack with more story and gameplay so be sure to check every so often. I also have a twitter where I'll tweet when major updates come out.

  • How do I play this hack?

You'll have to patch a clean US rom of Explorers of Sky in order to play this. You can use xdelta to patch the rom which come preinstalled with the download. After that, you can play it on any nds emulator or on an actual DS.

  • Will this hack feature base-building

Yes

  • Some of the Pokemon are different species from the original game. Why?

All gen 5 sprites for EoS are fan-made and many sprites don't exist yet for certain Pokemon. These are currently placeholders with whatever species is the most similar.

 

If you find any bugs, issues, or have any suggestions, then feel free to ask me on the SkyTemple Discord: https://discord.gg/skytemple

Does the hack currently end after the house is built? I really like what I've played so far.

Will you continue working on this hack? I really liked it and would love to see the rest of the game in this Style.

I've never played Gates to Infinity before, but I still enjoyed this hack a lot! Do you think you'll add more gen 5 Pokemon to play as other than Zorua + starters? It would be cool to play as pokemon like Joltik, Sandile, or Purrloin.

Probably not, there's a limitation to how many starters you can have and I'm at that limit. Not to mention that a lot of the npcs are gen 5, and excluding Zorua & Axew, most gen 5 pokemon wouldn't work that well as starters either design wise or stat wise.

I'm not very tech-savvy so forgive me (and apologies if this is something that should have been asked on the Discord instead), but is there a way to play this demo on Mac or can it only be played through Microsoft Windows? Whatever the case, is there anything I can do to play on a MacBook? (Did I download the wrong .zip file, do I need to install any secondary software that supports xdelta, etc.)? Whenever I try to open either of the xdelta applications, I get a notice stating that I can't because macOS doesn't support Windows applications.

It's playable on any nds emulator. You'll have to patch a clean US rom in order to run it on an emulator. The .xdelta file is the patch file, you can use multipatch to patch roms on macOS.

Not yet. Although Axew sprites do exist... they aren't that great.

However, someone else is currently redoing those sprites and I'll use them as soon as they're finished!
