Status of the Kyra engine
General
The file kyra.dat is required in order to run the games. It can be found in the ScummVM sources in the directory "dists/engine-data" (kyra.dat for latest ScummVM SVN, kyra.dat for the latest ScummVM Release).
The Legend of Kyrandia
Since version 0.9.0 of ScummVM the Kyra engine can play through The Legend of Kyrandia (some graphics glitches still occur).
Hand of Fate
Hand of Fate is completable as of 0.12.0 SVN from 21 Mar 2008. Some graphics glitches still exist.
Malcolm's Revenge
Current ScummVM SVN is capable of showing the Malcolm's Revenge main menu and playing the introduction sequence and parts of the intro. Furthermore it is possible to play some parts of the game.
Status of the Source Release
Negotiations for the release of the source to Kyrandia (and possible freeware release) have been conducted with Electronic Arts LA. The original code and assets from the Westwood-era have been confirmed to still exist on backups.
Action has stalled, mostly due to confusion over the franchise ownership and licensing. As of the last update, EA has reconfirmed their ownership of the rights.
Games using this engine
- The Legend of Kyrandia (1992)
- The Legend of Kyrandia: Book Two: Hand of Fate (1993)
- The Legend of Kyrandia: Book Three: Malcolm's Revenge (1994)
TODO
- Complain if no game data was found in specified directory instead of assert() and producing bunch of useless warnings.
- make sound working properly (MIDI sound has some problems)
- Reduce kMD5FileSizeLimit from 1MB to e.g. 80 kb (this might require recomputing some MD5s, but is faster, and good enough for finger printing)
Tech info
The items and the map lists include tips for the game, do not look at them if you want to play the game on your own.
