WOAW, incredible game on a C64 <3 I'm only playing on emulation, i have no C64 ... But i love to have a beautiful menu with my games. Have you plan to share with us the front cover un 1080p ? Ang maybe the back cover and the manual in PDF format ? Thanks a lot for all your work
We'll release a commercial version somewhen soon.. There will be a lot of additional content in that version (zip and box). We will not put out additional stuff with the free version.
I'm trying seriously to play Lykia (version 1.1 - EasyFlash) but the saving is causing trouble for me. No matter on which platform I try (U64, Vice or 3dsVice) each time I select "Continue" from the start menu or "Load" from the Run/Stop menu I invariably get the "Wake Up Nora" screen instead of starting where I left off. Am I doing something wrong or is saving just not working?
If you downloaded version 1.1 from here, saving to Easyflash may not work. You can go to www.puls4r.de and download version 1.2 or wait here until version 1.2 appears and then try again. Saving is done via Gomez, a guy you meet in the village who secretly follows you through the game. However, you have to solve the very first quest before Gomez can save your progress (using version 1.2 of Lykia, of course).
Thanks! That helps. I think that's where my main problem lies: solving the first quest. I was assuming the game was saving my progress when it flashes the cartridge symbol. But I guess it's just accessing.
Awesome experience playing this game but stuck after you come back via boat with 2 coins left to give but no idea where those characters are to give to? Any assistance would be appreciated
Im using retro arch and have been unable to save direct to disk since the beginning (failed to save)and there is no option to save to a user disk, so i have been using save states but I need to load so i can go back to gerda and load disk 3 data.
Any help would be appreciated as I can't seem to find a solution elsewhere
This seems to be a dead end. Version 1.2 will be released here today. The Easyflash support is now fixed in version 1.2, it is now saving propperly on all known Easyflash devices. And e.g. SD2IEC is now completeable (Gerda preselected on SD2IEC). Easyflash has now saving so the problem is gone for the crt.. Did you use the crt, or the disc version? I'm very sorry, but if saving fails, there is no way to finish the game with the old version. I really have no idea how to fix the bug in the old versions :( Sorry for the big inconvenience!
Absolutely amazing release. Thank-you for supporting the retro scene and taking the time to produce such a polished and stunning game. Looking forward to the physical version. Expect to see a full review in the next Reset :-
Love the easyflash ver for load times. 969K cart...damn! I see you fixed a bug with crt saving recently in the tracker so waiting for the next release. Great work!
Just tested the Easyflash support on Vice (emulator) and it works fine, no problems with saving there. It has been reported to work fully on several real Easyflash devices already. Maybe you need the latest KungFuFlash firmware? If there are further problems, you can use the bugtracking.txt files link in the zip file, or write to the eMail address given on top of that linked GoogleDoc.
Absolutely amazing. It's so cool that we're getting story driven games of that kind of beauty and epicness for our beloved old home computers! After recently enjoying Briley Witch Chronicles, and now this, I can't put into words how delighted I am! Most games for the old machines have always been platformers or shooting games, and therefore I celebrate this release ten times as much, even for just being a story based roleplaying game! And while I still hopefully await a good strategy title like, (8 Bit Battle Isle or Advance Wars/Famicom wars, the hope never dies--) this is so goood, too!! :3
Yeah I'm planning on buying the physical release as well! :3
Quite possibly the most beautiful Plus/4 game I've ever seen! I've added the game to my Homebrew Games Database and made a video of the Plus/4 game on Youtube!
Can't get the game to work on TheC64 Maxi. I open "lykia_disc1", after the "loading" page appears, it gets stuck. Am I doing something wrong? Edit: a CJM-File with th accuratedisk command seems to solve the problem.

For Eliona you need to find a place on the map (Pories in Tronden may have a clue), Gerda is also one of the women you should check.
Thank for the answer.
My issues are more technical now.

we publish updated versions on www.puls4r.de.. However, the last versions were buggy. You can expect a version 1.2 in the next week...
Thanks so much for an easyflash version! Is saved function meant to work? I get a 'I couldn't save your game' error using my Kung Fu flash.

Hi guys, the download bundle has now been updated to include an SD2IEC compatible version of the game along with a .crt easyflash version. Enjoy!
This is great! Thanks!
I can't get it to work with my flat C128 + 1571. The same disks and C128 work with a 1541 drive, however.
Is it possible for a d81 image with all files to be made, so disk swapping is not needed on an emulator?
Common D81 disks feature a maximum of 296 files. This is far too few for Lykia.
Didn't know of the file # limit, however, the .crt file does work as desired.
Which C64 program can I use to write the D64s to disk? All the D64 writers I could find can't copy 40 track disks :(
I've used CBMTransfer (part of the OpenCBM suite) along with a XUM1541 type hardware interface to read and write D64 disks before.
Any chance a BackBit compatible version might be released?

NTSC + SD2IEC, great game however it seems if I watch the entire intro the game hangs up. If I skip the intro it continues into the game fine.
This looks great! I love a good Zelda-esque game :-)
Wow! Thanks :D
Featured this right on cue! NICE :D
very good
Awesome game! Small gamplay:
Great! Thanks for the gameplay video!
In the video you can see "Nathan's Journey" (a small demo for Lykia that was released in advance).
