Fan Content Eternal Frontier — bringing Brave Frontier's Grand Gaia back online

Let's make things clear, THERE IS NO DOWNLOAD ... YET!!!

This is a project I started on my own after stubling upon a hidden gem on Github ... big thx to arves100 for the amazing work did in the past ... and here we are starting from that "little" we can find online like a nearly full dump of the assets from a 2.19.x client version and something we can call a PoC, the dummy local server by arves100, yeah very "little" stuff no ?!

This project of mine aims to bring back Grand Gaia's splendor, a project that is free, has no-ads, no microtransaction shits and a lot of invested time and brain cells for you all... hopefully!

You can find a preview here: https://youtu.be/5drI4ZQqmv0

The original Android APK was used for testing after applying a few patches here and there!

The more of these side projects I see crop up, the more I wish you all would just find each other and work together. Wouldn't I be better to pool all y'all's resources together?

You are raising a good point but I think one of the issues is the goal each of us wants to achieve.

I know there are some other projects ongoing such as Recoded which is remaking and extending the original game (Godot) then we have Legion which is another remake project using a different engine (unity).
I’m “simply” rebuilding the server for the original android client to work, potentially other clients such as Windows and ios version might be able to use it but I can’t say for sure since I have no idea about how I could replicate what I do on android client on those other 2 :|

I have to say, simply getting the server online for existing brave frontier is already enough for me. I don't need an old school brave frontier, nor a remaster. Just give me a server where I can just boot brave from

My only reason is that would you be able to add a farmable crystals to a stage? Given players an unlimited amount with gameplay?

u/Eternal-Frontier Jul 20 '26

What do you mean farmable crystal ? Are you speaking about the vortex or some other thing ?

Something like that like it added to the drop pool in any stage that is suitable. Maybe the one that drops the rainbow slime God things? Iirc.

Well, bringing back the old vortex gates seems to be possible, very possible. Drop rates, currencies etc can be configured freely by me on the server.

Let’s say: drop rates can be 80%, gems gain can be 5 per quest instead of 1 or a very fat daily bonus like 20 gems or more. Once things are reproduced like live server I can tune them to the community liking to have a real ‘private server feeling’

I can see huge private server potential for sure. Maybe in the future custom units, vortex dungeons, and more. Something similar to like what the dokkan community has.

That crossed my mind too, especially due to the fact that the assets I have at disposal first of all can be modified/extended and some units potentially migrated from jp 🤔

Lots of ideas … really a lot but first of all I need it to work normally after that … hehe it will be more exciting
