|  Introduction | This story begins on Nora's 16th birthday.
Actually everything is like always, only that there are
presents today, you might think.
As usual, her mother has little chores for her to do,
but no stress, because everything is quiet in
the small village,
just like every day.
Apogy fruits are delicious and healthy and there are always
enough of them in the forest by the southwestern lake.
But when Nora picks up the fruits this time, something
happens that changes her life forever.
Like it or not, she is confronted with her magical spiritual side
and suddenly it is up to her to save the fate of the world!
Nora needs all of her skill and intelligence on this journey.
Fortunately, she has support: from Gomez, her childhood friend;
from a really strange druid named Eria and from animals
she can talk to now!
And then there's that old storyteller who keeps saying
he'll tell her his story when the time comes ...
...
Will she be able to find the lost island of Lykia and thus
save the world?

| | Formats | Plus4 (or 64k expanded C16) disc version (to be used with a 1541 / 1541II or a 1551 disc drive):
- plus4/lykia_disc1.d64 (40 tracks)
- plus4/lykia_disc2.d64 (40 tracks)
- plus4/lykia_disc3.d64 (40 tracks)
- plus4/lykia_disc4.d64 (40 tracks)
- plus4/lykia_prologue.d64 (40 tracks)
This version works only if just one single drive is connected to the computer. This version also may take advantage of a Hannes 256kB memory expansion. Can be used with YAPE emulator.
Plus4 (or 64k expanded C16) SD2IEC version (to be used with SD2IEC devices):
- plus4/sd2iec/lykia_disc1.d81
- plus4/sd2iec/lykia_disc2.d81
- plus4/sd2iec/lykia_disc3.d81
- plus4/sd2iec/lykia_disc4.d81
- plus4/sd2iec/autoswap.lst
This version relies on the GiJoe Loader, which is already in the firmwares of many SD2IEC. Saving is not possible with this version, though, and it's loading around 3 times slower. One quest is presolved due to missing saving possibility on SD2IEC. Recovery after dying is disabled.
The SD2IEC version is highly experimental, there is simply no good widely supported irq loader system at present.
Plus4 (or 64k expanded C16) Neoram version:
- plus4/neoram/lykia_neoram.bin
- plus4/neoram/lykia_neoram.prg
lykia_neoram.bin is actually just a binary file to be installed in the NeoRam of your Sidekick264.
After installing lykia_neoram_plus4.bin use lykia_neoram.prg to start the game. Be aware that saving is only done to the NeoRam so you have to take care to persist your NeoRam's state. You can also just type in SYS 65024 to start the game. Currently there is no known
emulator to support the NeoRam feature.
Each version also has a SIDCARD counterpart in this archive.
The commercial digital release will also include the following versions (powered by YapeSDL):
- standalone windows
- standalone linux
- standalone mac |

| | Creation And Debugging | Here some longer "design doc" which shows the tasks I assigned for myself (Stefan) in some timeframe whilst building Lykia with the others.

And some of the "online" documentation I made and prepared which never got used anywhere..
inventory_plus4.html

Playthrough instructions for the press kit (released for the gaming mags back then)
playthrough_instructions_fullgame.zip
Used in the press kit some AI modified photos of our main Lykia Puls4r team 5tarbuck/Kichy/Mad/Olaf/c0zmo
And one of the translation files from during the process (all translations mainly by Olaf):

There where initially some coins planned to be included in the final box content which should have some sort of ornament on them (height maps)
The company who was able to produce the coins remarked that the structures would be to finely grained for their production processes..

| | Entrances | Each of the four disk sides assure a feedback for the user once loaded independently:
- Side1 is the regular beginning of the game's structure, it loads the game since the intro;
- Side2 allows to start the game immediately, bypassing any intro:
- Side3 just loads a little hires, Nora already matured a tiny bit;
- Side4 is the outro/ending dedicated D64 and if loaded directly, has a greetings dentro showing a 2-screen wide PETSCII logo drawn by Shine.
