Lynn's Legacy
A downloadable game for Windows
Follow Lynn the mercenary as she recollects the mysterious mission that nearly took her life. Travel through multiple overworld areas, (forest, towns, desert, mountains) and boldly step into uncharted dimensions in search of memory!

Their original release is still available for download at https://sourceforge.net/projects/lynn/. This new port features improved compatibility with modern 64 bit Windows machines, full screen razor sharp retro graphics with vsync, and bug fixes!

I'm always looking for new zelda-like games!
This looks really interesting.
This looks really cool!
It IS cool! That's why I made this port! I hope more people find it eventually and play it cause it truly is a hidden gem.
Hello, I was searching for games made with FreeBASIC on Itch. Then I found your game's webpage. However, the current version is a LÖVE game, not a FreeBASIC game. Nevertheless, your long article about the development of the game is very interesting and inspiring! Thanks.
By the way, the following game jam is for BASIC. Maybe you will be interested.

I might have remained interested in FreeBASIC but the maintainers didn't seem to care about the upkeep of the original QBasic style graphics api. Now it's basically just C with BASIC syntax sugar...doesn't feel the same to me anymore. PICO-8 (and also Love2D) make me feel a bit more like I did as a kid with QBasic now because the apis for these things have a digestible enough surface as to be similar in complexity. Plus, Lua has a few keywords in common with old BASIC dialects, and PICO-8 adds even more (like POKE, PEEK, CLS, PRINT, LINE, PSET, RECT, etc.).
Hi....thanks for your valuable opinion about these programming languages!
My programming knowledge is actually limited. Thanks again.
