Because I thought it would be fun and because I thought to myself that someday years from now I'll want to revisit this old game. I decided to comb the archives and put in something a little more permanent for myself and others about Kings Field (JP), particularly those old maps before tumblr disappears or steam removes the walkthrough in their forums.
Please enjoy for yourselves if you are so inclined.
Cheers
Hello and good evening everyone. I said in my last video that I would get this out to the world on 8/1, and I actually did it even after going mostly radio silent for about two weeks. Still have a laundry list of items and polish to finish up. But I'm going to put this at about 80% done now and ready for play testers to tear it apart.
I've added a tutorial in game to talk about the extensive settings options available in the game, and I've tried to make it as easy to install as possible from itch.io. Just download the zip file and run it.
At this time there is only a windows version to play.
Please feel free to drop into the project discord to add your feedback find my email address on the project site Archive of Myth.
You should be able to play the whole game start to finish as I have multiple times at this point with any option sets available in the options menu.
I do hope you enjoy, and look forward to playability and options updates in the near future.
Good luck Strangers.
Sorry for another long one today! And you'll just have to trust me that the music is great. (recording issue)
Website is up and running, many updates to come here including playtest links to itch.io when I get setup there.

Thank you everyone for your continued interest, kind upvotes, and comments, they really keep me excited to finish this.
I'm calling it now... playtest version to be available on 8/1!
Today's update
Not a lot of exciting things today, just some opening menu and other UI work. Forgot to capture Fujitsu/FM Towns UI updates for ztats/ready/store menus.
I hope you enjoy!
I just need to finish shoring up the End battle UI and implement the ending scene then I'll be ready to let people actually playtest it. I'm shooting for that to be available in Mid July.
Another weekly update for my Unity Ultima I fan remake. Got a lot of stuff done with Fujitsu FM Town assets and UI this time around.
Enjoy!
Just another brief update with some opening intro work and death mechanics. Got my microphone working this time so you can actually hear what I am saying.
Been hanging out at my parents for the past few weeks and filling my spare time with a "quick" unity rebuild of Ultima I.
So far overland mechanics and combat are working and almost done
Dungeon mechanics and combat are working and almost done
Space needs some tweaking but pretty far along
Cities and Castles are almost done as well, need to shore up the princess rescuing
Can do all the king's quests
All vehicles working
Stealing working
All weapons and armor working
All landmarks working
Character Creation working
All spells working
Here's space and space combat as I've left it just this morning before I start my day job.

To do :
Fight with Mondain
Time Machine
Ending
Beginning
Music/Sound options from various versions
and so much more.
An option to play an "advanced" version of the game with controller support and system tweaks to fix some issues from the original game.
Mostly I've been working with the decompiled version of C64 and the Gog release to find out how some things worked, but even then some of that code is inscrutable to me so I'm filling in the gaps where I can't figure things out 100%.
Hopefully I stay motivated and don't end up in the grave yard of abandoned projects. =)
Hi all, I've tried bringing a body to a healer in U5 Lazarus but there's no option to resurrect them. Am I bugged, or am I missing something? I made sure the body was in the Avatar's inventory.
