    Legends Arise [Trinity Aenigma] [LA-TA]
    is a fangame based off Platinum, whose development started in early 2020.
    It tells an original story set in an alternative scenario to that of Diamond, Pearl and Platinum.

    Sinnoh has always been renowned for its centennial history
    and legends, which play a major role in LA-TA.

    This project is being developed mainly with:
    - DS Map Studio [Trifindo, AdAstra]
    - DSPRE [Nømura, AdAstra]
    - Tinke [Pleonex]
    - Blender



    LATA_PC_Team.png



    - AdAstra/LD3005 (Founder, Project Design, Technical realisation, Mapping, Soundtrack)
    - vin.derlust (Project Design, Storyline, Mapping, Resource Management)
    - Mikelan98 (ASM Support)
    - Mariuso, Miles Tails (Overworld & Trainer Sprites)
    - Primordial Rune (GUI design)

    - Collaborators: Trifindo, GreenLenux, Seiiccubus




    LATA_PC_Plot.png


    You impersonate Platinum Berlitz, undercover agent of a powerful conglomerate known as Galaxias Novus,
    which owns the biggest slice of Sinnoh's economy whilst also influencing the local politics.

    Agent Berlitz's adventure begins in the Harbour of Veilstone City and is guided by Agent Fortis,
    a mysterious character who seems to have a plan in mind capable of changing the fate of the world forever.

    Gathering information about what's at stake and learning
    to discern lies from reality is crucial, but entirely up to you.

    - Screenshots not final -

    FORTIS

    Fortis.png


    Special agent with extraordinary intelligence and a foggy past, double-dealer, and designer of an advanced piece
    of technology which he uses for extracting information from the surrounding environment: the Calypsoscope.
    He is leading a top-secret project on behalf of Galaxias Novus but he does not seem to fully embrace its vision.


    AGENT EAGLE

    Eagle.png


    Bright and lively woman, extremely faithful to the law and spearhead of the
    International Investigation Centre, based in Rockfrost Point.
    She's following the traces of an important operation that the higher ranks
    of Galaxias Novus are conducting in Sinnoh.



    CYRUS

    Cyrus.png



    One of the directors of Galaxias Novus, assigned to the Veilstone district.
    Despite his apparently cold and aloof attitude, he can be extremely
    persuasive and is considered to be an excellent leader.
    He is in charge of the corporation's main projects.


    TITANIA

    Titania.png



    Self-proclaimed diva of Galaxias Novus, who conquered her place
    in the world solely thanks to her charm.
    She turned Hearthome City into her very own resort of business, luxury, and nightlife.


    CYNTHIA

    Camilla.png



    An expert, mysterious trainer who's been studying Sinnoh's culture
    and mythology for a very long time.
    In the past, she played an important role in the public life of the region.





    LATA_PC_Features.png


    NDS hacking is getting big. New features are being researched and discovered as we speak.
    The ones listed below are already available but the final version will probably have more.
    We're learning more about the NDS' full potential by the day.

    - Gen V Sinnoh -

    Legends Arise boasts renewed Gen V graphics.
    The game soundtrack features remastered tracks as well as original pieces,
    played with higher quality instruments.
    Old characters will return and new ones will make their appearance as well.
    The minimal User Interface is inspired by Black 2 and White 2.


    - Original story, Familiar ambience -

    From the birth of the world to the mystery of spacetime,
    to the myth of the Lake Guardians... you will learn more as you dive
    deep into Sinnoh's culture and explore ancient ruins and monuments,
    such as the Eterna's Pillar of Time and Celestic's Cave of Space.


    - More and more Side Quests -

    Every map exists for a reason. Explore and discover the game scenario
    to understand all of its secrets and history!


    - Vibrant Scenario -

    Many in-game events are tied with the passing of time. Celestic Town's Academy
    is always teeming with students during the day, yet completely empty at night.
    Moreover, all inhabitants of Solaceon Town prefer to avoid wandering
    around after sunset… for some reason.


    - Following mons! -

    The most appreciated feature from HeartGold and SoulSilver returns to Sinnoh as well.
    Familiar cities like Hearthome and Veilstone have a whole new charm
    to them, with mons walking by your side.
    There will be 649 mons available, to allow everyone to complete the Dex.
    Wild encounters are better distributed but... without exaggerating too much.


    - Dynamic Camera -

    Thanks to Mikelan98 and Trifindo's work, we're now able to move the camera around
    and create cool cinematic effects to give each area more depth and character.


    - Day/Night Music variations -

    Diamond, Pearl and Platinum featured night themes for routes and cities.
    We restored this cool addition and implemented it in our project.


    - Hostels -

    This new building incorporates both the Center and the Mart from Gen IV.
    There are two floors, one dedicated to refreshment and items, one for dorm rooms.
    Hostels are also gathering places where you can meet all sorts of people who will
    either ask you to battle them, gift you useful items, or reveal misc information.





    LATA_PC_Release.png


    The game will be released as an xDelta patch to apply onto an English Platinum ROM.
    It will be available in Italian, English and Spanish.

    We cannot guarantee any release date or ETA: we are most likely going to release ONE
    game version that contains all of the main plot in its entirety.

    Please do keep following us.




    Props to:

    - Nintendo, GAME FREAK and TPCI -
    for creating everything our game is based on,
    thus giving our imagination the chance to explore new horizons.


    - Trifindo -
    for creating the awesome mapping tool that we all love.
    None of this would be possible without it!

    - Bagboy -
    for finding the camera struct in the DPPt RAM & FS,
    making further research much easier.

  • I am at a complete loss for words, a lot of my memories of DS ROM hacking date back to ROM Hacks like dark diamond and bloody platinum which were merely difficulty edits. And then forwards Light platinum NDS, but by lord. This is beautiful, the sheer amount of effort the team is putting in is mad commendable. I've been keeping tabs on NDS hacking via Reddit, and the map editors. Cheers my dude!

    Ooh, this looks really cool! I've always wanted to see Following Pokemon in Sinnoh, and your redesigns of cities with what looks like Gen 5 graphics(?) look really cool too!
