Gate to Heavens v0.1.0

Rebuilt in Go

Released 2026-02-25

The first release. An early-2000s game brought back to life on a new Go server, with the original client kept intact.

Version 0.1.0 is the rebuild: the original Gate to Heavens, brought back to life on a brand new server written from scratch in Go and running on Linux. The old client stays; everything behind it is new.

What Is in It

  • A custom Go server, rebuilt from the ground up, running on Linux and handling the game worlds.
  • The original C++ client, kept intact.
  • The core online loop: logging in, creating a character, entering the world, moving, fighting, looting, and talking to NPCs.
  • A launcher that keeps the game up to date.
  • A long list of client crash fixes and behavior fixes, so the client stays stable on the new server.

This is an early, in-development build. Everything that comes next builds on this foundation.
