Loved the alpha it's amazing, can't wait to play more. Thank you for all work out into to the hack

 

[GflashEx2000]

the issue i have with this game is that my starter pokemon is always male no matter how many times i reload it and even the gender modifier cheat doesnt work. i see this as a flaw to my eyes

 

[寂睿伊.]

I like this hack tooooo much
Nice job,keep doing

Update:

Currently, we are in the process of adapting and graphically improving old locations in addition to the new ones. This should put SotS ahead of many fangame projects in terms of features and uniqueness. (We have been inspired by Golden Sun for this location. :P)

 

[Krakanous]

Thanks for the update :). Remind me, are using something similar to CFRU except for emerald? I'm not sure what the equivalent is but this is looking great. Looking forward to playing this next year :).

 

[Hermione Granger]

I definitely will try this when it gets completed, but I will keep an eye out for any new updates until the completion of this.

Heya, i just fired up a new game on the current release version and got a female Charmander after just a few tries, so this is definitely not a bug :) - Keep in mind that all 3 of our starters have a very high chance of being male. (87.5%)

The project is based on `pokeemerald` the decomp version of the game. Granted CFRU is for binary firered we do not use that. Apart from the battle engine, which is a collaboration project started by DizzyEgg, almost all of the custom code for this game was written by our team.

Thanks for all your nice comments, really appreciated :)

Neat, thanks for reply. There is now so much I'm used to in Pokémon Unbound it might feel strange not having similar quality of life things added but I'm sure whatever this turns into it'll feel really well polished and accessable :).

It doesn't work on my john gba emulator. What emulators work?

 

[TheDudeCubed]

is there a way to randomize the game yet?

It should really work on most emulators, we tested a bunch of them - but to have a good experience you may wanna checkout retroarch on Android, mGBA on Desktop and if all fails because you cannot get retroarch to run on your device (e.g. iphones...) you might want to use MyBoy (Which I do not like to recommend, its a paid emulator after all...)

Not really, if anything we'll build quirky features like that after everything else is finished in like a post-game update

Introduction:
Many days, months and years have passed since the last release and you had to wait a very long time. Back when the 2nd beta was released, we were all mostly students and had much more time and less stress in the RL than it is unfortunately the case today.

At that time the 2nd beta was developed by "kids" and did not meet our expectations of how a game should look like. It took many failed attempts and new approaches, but now we finally have a solid foundation.

But the waiting has finally come to an end! As the longest Rome-Hack project on the German scene, we present the new edition of Pokémon Sovereign of the Skies in both German and English!

The balance of a world is about to be shaken. While the mighty Guardians of Amitec can no longer leave their stronghold, the Sacred Shards of Celestis are stolen by the cold hands of Team Tundra.
