==Status==
=== General ===
The file kyra.dat is required in order to run the games.<br>
This is included with each ScummVM release.<br>


If you have any questions about the engine or its status ask cyx or LordHoto.
It can be found seperately in the ScummVM sources in the directory "dists/engine-data" ([https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/blob/master/dists/engine-data/kyra.dat kyra.dat for latest ScummVM development version] or <br>
[https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/raw/v{{StableTag}}/dists/engine-data/kyra.dat kyra.dat for the latest ScummVM release]).


=== The Legend of Kyrandia ===
[[The Legend of Kyrandia]] is completable since ScummVM 0.9.0.


Help is welcome. If you want to help look at our IRC channel for cyx or LordHoto and ask them that could be done.
=== Hand of Fate ===
[[The Legend of Kyrandia: Book Two: Hand of Fate|Hand of Fate]] is completable since 0.12.0 SVN (21 Mar 2008).


=== Malcolm's Revenge ===
[[The Legend of Kyrandia: Book Three: Malcolm's Revenge|Malcolm's Revenge]] is completable since 0.12.0 SVN (28 Apr 2008).


Kyrandia 1 is currently playable from the start up to:
=== Lands of Lore ===
  Potion mixing in Zanthia's hut
[[Lands of Lore]] is completable since 0.14.0 SVN (7 Jun 2009).


current showstoppers:
=== Eye of the Beholder ===
* Malcolm doesn't seem to appear in the Kyragem room
[[Eye of the Beholder]] should be completable.


=== Status of the Source Release ===
=== Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon ===
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, however due to the current rights situation, it is impossible to progress further on a release of these assets.
[[Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon]] should be completable.


Basically, the Kyrandia rights appear to have been retained by Viacom (as Spelling Entertainment). Despite investigation by several people (Thanks Mike, Louis), there has been no further progress. If anybody happens to know a higher-up at Viacom, please contact Ender (at scummvm.org) :)

=== Tech info ===
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.
